Hi

I want to get some T shirts printed to promote my website. The URl will be printed on the back.

The URL is quite long, 16 characters, so I have two options

Option 1

www.My16letterdomain.co.uk

(1 line, in a medium sized font)

Option 2

www.
My16letterdomain
.co.uk

(3 lines in a much bigger font)


Option 2 would obviously be easier to read. My site is a shopping directory for a particular city and I shall be wearing the shirt around town. Readability is therefore very important.

Please can you let me have your views and votes

Option 1 or Option 2


Many thanks !

Interesting Idea,

I would leave out the www, you should have a redirect in place anyway for SEO purposes.

Then have the main bit in big letters, then the .co.uk in smaller letters but underneath the main text and aligned to the right

Hope it makes sense

my16letterdomain
.co.uk

Tried to write it out, didnt work though, when I meant right aligned, I mean so that the right edges of the main bit and the .co.uk are on the same vertical line

We have the same idea

I actually wrote out my question with the .co.uk right aligned, but it didn't print off that way.

Why not get a new domain just for this promotion??

Maybe just the city name and use a ".me"?

ALSO, if you know you rank top in the Search Engines for a particular word, I recently saw an advertisement on a bill board that rather then a URL at the bottom, just said "Search 'keyword' for more!"

Hope this helps.

You should have it like this:

www.
------my16letterdomain
-------------------------------.co.uk

Without the (-)'s

Thanks to everybody

I have opted to drop the www bit and have something like

My16letterdomain.co.uk

with the .co.uk bit slightly lower and in a smaller font.

Regards !

Off topic, but what did you mean by this? is it better to redirect domain.com to www.domain.com?

Yes, the domain should always redirect to www.domain.com

Download and print this, follow it as closely as you can!

Check out my (Vision Helpdesk ) HostingCon2010 T-Shirt http://www.flickr.co...esk/4811025366/

Instead of URL you can simple add your product name.



No offence but when I look at that t-shirt I don't even think it is promoting anything, just looks like a design. Therefore it is hardly doing it's promoting job when I don't even know that it's promoting anything!
