For startups, a brand kit packs a punch with an affordable budget.
Wear it for the investor’s pitch. Wear it to the tradeshow and event. Wear it for the everyday hustling. Or give it away to expand their brand familiarity.
First and foremost, it builds the base of your brand identity and awareness, especially for pre-seed and seed startups. This is the time to get your brand’s reach as wide as possible, be it for a wider audience and customer base, or to that investor or VC firm.
Coupled with good designs, a brand promotional product leaves a deep impression with your potential target. An ideal startup promotional product is like making a good, short pitch to gain the short interest span of your potential investor.
For a pre-seed startup running on minimal funding, it’s not just an affordable promotional tool, it also keeps you going strong. Your startup branded t-shirt or gift serves as a constant motivation to you, reminding you of the hard-work you’ve put in, and spurs you on.
It always builds that internal brand loyalty and pride within your employees who are striving hard to help build the startup.
Below is an example of an excellent startup brand t-shirt (by Twilio) that shows the brand logo, yet does not turn the t-shirt into a generic advertisement with a screamingly loud logo right on the chest.

It has an ideal size of their brand logo, and at the same time, with an artwork that perfectly illustrates their product and helps people make that connection between their brand and their product offering.
Additionally, when your startup’s growth accelerates and has accumulated a large following, it is also then a great time to retain that customer loyalty. Offer and sell your own startup brand merchandise!
p.s. T-Shirt marketing has been proved to be a very effective and viable marketing strategy for that growth-hacking. Check out Sujan Patel’s blog post about how Single Grain gave away t-shirts for free and expanded their brand outreach and familiarity and earned $980K.
