How I Became One Of The Top Online T-Shirt Companies By Being A Nice Guy

A couple weeks back I found this article on omgtees where my clothing company Mediocore Clothing was the 5th highest ranked t-shirt company according to blog posts. Eric Terry of Linty Fresh was ranked 6th and I remember he was one of the first people to comment on my original post “How to get your cool t-shirts reviewed by a t-shirt blog.” There isn’t anything that either of us have done that is special except make awesome shirts.

If you haven’t read “How to get your cool t-shirts reviewed by a t-shirt blog” by Joe (formerly of Fantastic Blognanza) please do so now.

There are a few things that I wanted restate in my own words about getting your t-shirts reviewed by blogs.

Get to know the blogger

This seems like simple stuff but I’m sure a lot of people just send emails to all the t-shirt blogs they can find and think their t-shirts will get posted. Go to their site, check it out, and in your email give them a compliment letting them know that you visited their site.

Use their name

Use their name in the email. I respond to emails a lot more often when my name is used.

Introduce yourself and tell them why you’re different

Be nice and introduce yourself like an actual person. Tell them about yourself and give them a story on why they should care about you and your clothing company. Let them know why your clothing company is different than all of the clothing companies out there.
