I was wondering for my new solo website
if i was to shoot each model i wonder if it would be hot to make a t-shirt with the name of my website on it and have evrey model were it so when i film the model and take picture they would have the name of my website i think it can be a great way to market and good for advertising my models what do you think kind of theme thing... :)
well, i've always hated str8 sites that do that. it makes it all seem so phony. in a jackoff site i want to see each guy wearing his street clothes first.
Yeah your right
I think that it's actually a great idea...branding is always good and the more they see your logo and/name url whatever the better...PLUS it shows that the content was actually created by your site! I wish I had started that when I started shooting my own content back in 1999...
I say that you can actually do it and make it HOT...why not? The t-shirts always come off and then it's just another naked guy getting off...but while it is ON you have the chance to make an impression.

I think that if you have an exclusive model, it may be okay to occasionally have them in branded clothing, and it might not even affect some people's enjoyment of your work if it were in all your material.
The thing to consider is what niche you're trying to fill and how this affects it.
For example, for Straight College Men, it works because they're going after the frat-boy, make him do exactly what I want niche. If that includes wearing a t-shirt that labels him a Straight College Man, then so be it.
However, if you were going to have material that had less of a "reality" slant and more of a setup/plot based slant, it may not work.
The moral of the story: what may work in one situation may not in another.
I've seen sites do exactly that, except they just took a black sharpie marker and wrote the site name & URL on a cheap white T-shirt that didnt always fit the model..... pretty crappy IMHO
If you do it, I would do it well and take into consideration how the logo on the shirt shows up on camera:gaydays:
Honey I wouldn't hire any models, there is no model hotter then you and your beautiful husband. ((hugs)) :cool:

Used in the right way I think it can only help...exclusivity, promos outdoors etc....Just be careful not to use them in EVERY promo pic and I think its a good idea :)
