Are You T-shirt Worthy??

(www.businessanblogging.com) Susan Gunelius of Brandcurve is getting ready to run a contest next week – and the prize is a t-shirt from CNN.com with one of their headlines emblazoned across the front!
I found this idea so intriguing – What a great offline way to advertise your online blog – by putting it on a t-shirt!
CNN also sells the t-shirts for $15.00 a piece which they say is at cost – no profit to them – they just get the free advertising.
With businesses like cafepress, any blog (or any business) can afford to sell custom t-shirts that advertise their blog.
As an experiment, I took a look at some of our recent headlines at Business and Blogging to see whether any of them would be good t-shirt material.
I came up with a few from recent weeks that are contenders, but not really up there with “Life is a Beach”:
Coffee Break
Blog is a Verb
Blog on the Run
and my favorite (written by Laura)
Does Your Teenager Twitter and Plurk?
What do you think? Would printing a quote from your blog increase readership, or at the very least give you a reason to start up a conversation?
What blog headline of yours would look good on a t-shirt????
Be sure to stop by Susan’s blog on the 28th to get a chance to win a CNN t-shirt, and while you’re waiting, read her interview with Andy Mitchell, VP of Interactive Marketing, CNN Worldwide.
