Brand Marketing: Free T-Shirts

When doing a free t-shirt promotion, it is better to make the wearer look good rather than make the brand stand out the most. Then, user will wear the shirt more in more prominent places.

Thus, it follows that more brand promotion will occur if it makes the user look better. So, if you have the money to give away free t-shirts, then spend a few extra dollars to ensure that initial batch of t-shirts gets used well.

Caveat: The uber-fans will wear anything.

Talking to Myself

We all talk to ourselves whether it is aloud or not.

Another word for "talking to yourself" is "thinking". When you are thinking, there is typically a conversation of whether or not something should be done or what should be said.

The only time you aren't talking to yourself is when you are strictly doing, which is a tough thing to do. Certain substances limit inhibitors. Which, in turn, arguably allows for more creativity. Free writing is also great practice in "strictly doing" aka creativity.

ps - My initial seed of an idea for this post was just "Talking to myself = Thinking from different perspectives." And, originally, that's all this post was going to say. I didn't want to talk about creativity in this post because I have a lot to say about it, but not enough time. Hence, the abrupt stop.

Gmail Free Space Increases

Conclusion: Gmail give users about 0.2444 Kb of more free space every minute. That's about 351.936 Kb of extra free space every day. That's 128.544624 Mb of more space per year! that 99% of free accounts won't use! [Because, if you are at/near capacity, then you would probably pay for more space. Just my thinking..]

Figure 1. The "Lots of Space" section has numbers that constantly become larger values.

The Numbers:

Total Space (Kb)   At Time (minutes)    Kb Difference From Start    Overall Kb/min
10327895.150

Metaconclusion: But, I think they don't actually give every single Gmail account more space every second. More realistically, they just give the extra space once a year, and no user complains about having a little extra space. But, the process can be made even better. Those who don't keep their Gmail accounts constantly full to capacity never get an increase, until they actually need it. This saves many unnecessary processes.

Figure 2. Mid-left, you will see I currently have 10.1 Mb of space available to use.

How To Get More Free Space For Dropbox

First, what is Dropbox?
A free service that syncs all your files anywhere, including computers, phones, and the Dropbox website. In my words, it's organized and efficient and increases productivity; It's extremely useful.

Why is Dropbox useful?
It allows your files saved on one computer to be immediately available on all your computers and phones, automatically. Dropbox also allows files and folders to be shared easily (all files are private by default). I use it for all of my school projects, especially when it's a group project. I also have my phone set up so that pictures I take are uploaded automatically.

How do I get more free space?
There are many ways, including:

  • Take the Dropbox tour = +250MB
  • Link to Twitter/Facebook = +250MB
  • Referring others = +500MB for referrer AND referee
  • Being a part of the annual Dropquest = +1GB or more

I've been meaning to blog about this for a long time, glad I've gotten around to it finally. This was written so that I can easy share with all my friends, classmates, and co-workers this free awesome service (They do have paid upgrades though). And I wanted to share my referral link online. =D
