Shirt.Woot

Holy Multiple Options Woot-man!

But really - will this be a new thing? Having multiple purchase options on every daily print?

And I laughed...

Hmm. This is... different. The shirt/apron/hoodie option, that is.

You're weird. You don't like eggnog? What's not to like? Creamy, rich, sweet - I suppose if you think of it as a vehicle for liquor, and you don't like rum, it might be problematic. But I drink it plain...and have to be very careful how much I allow in my house (and only allow it in the holiday season), or I'll gain a thousand pounds just on eggnog.

Fruit cake!

The "o.m.g. THAT design's on a hoodie, I must buy" excitement will be lost, it's convenient for those who want options or must have a particular design on a hoodie/apron, but pushes shirt.woot even further out of having fun, seeing something I like, impulse buy range for me.

I wouldn't have minded long sleeves added to the trial though.

Conceptually? Very strong, great idea, especially before the holidays. Having the choice exist only for a given day's design will reduce the possibility of a "paradox of choice" effect that would reduce sales; if it existed for all shirts in the Reckoning, it would likely pull down overall sales, but from the viewpoint of both consumer psychology and a shirt.wooter, this is a well-executed plan. If there were a way to publicize it more obviously from the shirt.woot homepage, I think that would help sales. I didn't realize that it was available in multiple forms until I saw the question in World of Shirt.Woot. Yes, I (now) know the write-up mentions it, but I never read the write-ups.

Will the first-day sales figures include sales of t-shirts, hoodies, and aprons, or just t-shirts as usual?

Congratulations on the print, fishbiscuit! And you perfectly captured my sentiment about eggnog - bletch!

Dang fishbuiscuit5, you gunning for Ramy's throne at the top of printdom?

Eggnog is delicious, go away, shirt.

Shirt.woot has a blog?

Hate to be the one to say it, but how about an AA option for a few dollars more maybe?

Other than that I like it. If it sticks around long term I'd probably want to see short and long sleeve as everyday options, with the Hoodies/Aprons being limited. This being the holiday season though, the Hoodies and Aprons are great

I'm one of those really bizarre people who's never really liked eggnog or fruitcake. I do like that "E". It's fun how it has a round center prong thingy. It makes me think of a muppet nose.

What? I already told you I am really bizarre.

I love the option to get something other than a t-shirt. I really hope it will continue past December.

I would be amazed if anyone still reads the write-ups. If you're looking for a witty, (hahaha, aren't we clever?), bit of useless information, well there you go. If you'd like some actual information about the item you're considering purchasing, skip straight to the discussion.

Here, here! ... what's with all the 'nog hate I'm surrounded by? and for the record, I make a darn good eggnog, wether its because instead of rum exctract and vanilla extract I soak vanilla beans in vodka for a year and use that, or because its just frakin' awesome, others can decide

Hey, now... this isn't an anti eggnog shirt. It's an anti fruitcake shirt. Sheesh.

Look at all those options! T-shirts and hoodies and aprons, oh my! I need to mull over which ones I want over some eggnog and fruitcake. :P

the design/caption seems like a watered-down version of a design that could have been awesome.

please tell me this isn't the only eggnog shirt going this season. i want to buy one for my brother again, but not if it's a hater.

this one was the best: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/20209_10101017327135152_2130481761_n.jpg

I, for one, welcome our new cafepress.woot.com Krampus.

Since I love eggnog, can I wear this shirt ironically?

So I like my dairy drinks with raw egg and I eat compact cake slices encrusted in candied fruit.

STOP JUDGING ME!!!

Yeah, I don't drink the sauced version either but love regular all-ages egg nog, and the only reason it's not in my house is because I try not to drink creamer as a standalone beverage.

TRY.

YAY! Congrats on the print Naheed!

I like the approach in general for sure. I'd also say that I hope some zip-ups show for zip-up fans (of which I am not one).

Yes, yes. I'd like a chance to decide!!! Address??? Date??? Time???

Anyway i could get a little free "marketing psychology" on some of my ideas???

I really enjoyed this post (and, basically, everything else you post!)

Absolutely! You know, I actually never procrastinate and I always order the smallest cup of coffee when I'm at my favorite overpriced coffee shop. I proudly wear those shirts ironically. ;)

I'm just thankful that it isn't a shirt about how eggnog can make some people ... uh...how to put this delicately... sick.

Well done Queen Fishface! *waits for payback*

Guess, I'll wait for the next shirt. Love eggnog. Fruitcake meh.

Eggnog and fruitcake are BOTH delicious. Go away, sacrilegious shirt!

Have you ever actually had fruitcake?

Three words~~~ Eggnog. Ice. Cream.

Get it NOW while you can! Sooooooooooooo good.

If you don't love fruitcake then stop eating the dry, multicolored cherry weird stuff:




And grab a slice of the rich, moist, thickly iced, marzipan coated kind:

But it's technically anti-eggnog. Because you're saying it's better than fruitcake...and it's worse than other...stuff. So TECHNICALLY, this shirt represents that you're anti-eggnog.

I think.

Sigh ... "fruitcake" = one word, not two.

And so another shirt succumbs to the woot epidemic of text-fail. If you are going to immortalize your wit for all time in t-shirt format, it is super important to CHECK THE SPELLING OF EVERY WORD ON IT.
