If I get a shirt from a company it's like a coupon for me to be their best friend. Blinksale sent me a shirt after we signed up and I wear it all the time. Logmein sent me a shirt for using a beta product, my company uses them for remote stuff and again, best buds.

I'm a tshirt evangelist. If you have a great service, and send me a shirt, I'll rep your stuff and pass referrals. But I think the key is that it has to be personal. I won't do it just for a shirt, I'll do it for the relationship and service included.
