MailChimp T-Shirts Are In

January 30th, 2009 | by Ben

In case you missed the news on Twitter and The Jungle, the new MailChimp T-Shirts are in, and we’re having lots of fun with them. Here they are, modeled by our own Aarron Walter:

A big thank-you goes out to the folks at Satisfactory Printing in Athens, GA for these stylish shirts. The gray shirt is super cool. It’s using the pencil sketches from Jon Hicks’ logo design work he did for us a while back:

(Mr. Hicks, yours are of course in the mail).

The shirts are printed on American Apparel, and oh-so-soft.

There’s even a little chimp hiding inside the shirt, so you can go tagless:

Yesterday, Amanda announced on Twitter that she’d send t-shirts to the first 15 people who asked, and within 10 minutes, got over 70 requests. Ouch.

Also, a little while back, we did a contest, where the prize was a MailChimp t-shirt. Finally, we can start awarding people who contributed funny MailChimp quotes (thanks for your patience!).

The first batch of shirts is already going out in the mail today:

MailChimp @ SXSW

BTW, two MailChimpsters are going to be at SXSW in March, and they’ll have some of these shirts to hand out. If you’re a MailChimp user, and you run into Aarron or Amanda at the event, make sure you ask for one. Aarron will be speaking on the interactive panel, “No Web Professional Left Behind” on March 16th, and they’ll both be at the Geeks Love Bowling Extravaganza as well. They’re also going to have some other cool stuff to hand out, created by our friend SeriousRonTM Top secret. So more on that later.

Anyway, all the various departments at MailChimp are going to be mailing a BUNCH of shirts out to customers soon.

Our customer service team (Jen, Juliana, & Raul):

will be sending shirts out as they see fit. Cool customers, friendly customers, helpful customers. You might just get a t-shirt in the mail.

Our dev team will occasionally mail a shirt to people who send in helpful bug reports or fixes, or cool implementations of the API. Amanda will be sending shirts to our “gorilla marketing” friends. Dan and I will also be sending shirts out to our customers who’ve stuck with the ‘chimp over the years.

So be on the lookout! You might be getting a nifty little shirt soon.

      How about a free T-shirt to newbie’s/new accounts of MailChimp. I’ve spent countless hours reading your resources/your marketing guide and dotting my i’s and crossing my t’s to avoid complaints. The cute little monkey on my dashboard keeps giving me bananas and flirting with me, I would like something more. I’ve increased my company’s ROI since I’ve started using this program. Not getting a reward from them, how about you?

      Oh sweet! I would totally wear a MailChimp shirt (every day for the rest of my week) if you sent me one! And I’m not afraid to dance for it. Just say the word.
      MailChimp has by far the BEST service, FRIENDLIEST team and HUNKIEST nerds I’ve ever come across. Eep Eep, my little friends.

      After I send out a new campaign, I check my stats every hour on the hour. Sorry for using up so much of your bandwidth. Send me a shirt, and I will login every other hour. Keep up the great work on this product!

      Great shirts. I don’t want one; I want you to let ZippyDogs make ‘em for you! We can fetch you the tail-waggin’-ist promo products EVAH, so next time you go to SXSW or any other gathering, you’ll have the super coolest swag to hand out.
      We dawgs love MailChimp! Of course.
      Woof!

      Hi all – The emails, tweets, and comments on the blog are really great. Especially the “And I’m not afraid to dance for it.” Ha.

      We’ll need to work on a plan to make this process more efficient, long term. Methinks a Wufoo form is in order (mailing addresses, t-shirt sizes, etc.) Thanks for your patience. You’ll hear back from us soon.

      Already ordered several boxes of envelopes. This is going to be the most snail-mail that MailChimp has ever sent!

      I’d be willing to shell out some dough for a t too! And when is a stuffed MailChimp going to become available. I’d love to keep one on my desk as a conversation piece!

      I love to have a mailchimp t-shirt. I was born in the year of the Fire Monkey and collect sock monkeys for over the past several years. One is an astronaut! I’ve got a lemur on my home pate website, too if that counts! Go Monkeys Go!

      Any chance you guys would sell them? We have officially abandoned ConstantContact and now promote MailChimp as the only e-newsletter provider to our clients and we are getting ready to use your API to integrate stats into our CMS dashboard. I would love to have one to wear to follow up client meetings!

      Thought email marketing was going to be painful. I am so glad you guys are who you are. You guys not only make it fun, but easy, too! Thanks for constantly listening, improving and helping your customers through implementing creative features and TONS of support. Have any of you guys tried the live chat? Phenomenal. Not a bad primate in the group. Now all I need is a mailchimp tee to show the locals and management I know about and USE the good stuff to get work done!
