Emily Chang writes about a new form of tee-shirt marketing by Reactee. According to Emily, it’s like this:
At first glance, Reactee is a fairly straightforward, albeit unique, approach to design-your-own clothes. You go to their website, design a t-shirt, and publish it in their catalog. This is all done rather Cafepress style. Where it starts to get interesting is the message. Reactee shirts, (Reactees) are designed to market something. It may be your band, club or business, or a non-profit you belong to, or of course, you can advertise something slightly more self-indulgent like “Think I’m Hot?”. With each shirt goes a unique keyword. People on the street who see your message and text-message the shirt’s keyword to Reactee receive a short customized reply which can be changed or updated by you at any time. Hence Reactee’s slogan: Cause A Reaction.
It is all about causing a Reaction.
