Last month the DMA and IAB held a joint Ready Steady Email event in Edinburgh. It's a great, hands-on event where the attendees get to form teams and create a pitch for an email marketing campaign for a fictional company 'My cuppa tea shirts'.
Each team works out the aims and strategy of the campaign/s as well as addressing legals, data management, best practice etc. I was one of the facilitators on the day and sat in with one of the teams whilst they were brainstorming their strategy. Some great ideas were floated, including one to include 'tweet' t-shirts in the line. Simply put, the idea was to allow clients to order a t-shirt with their favourite 'tweet' on it.
Great minds must think alike, as today a website which does just that launched! Check out Twitshirt.
