Why not give them a code to redeem proprietary "OwenPrescott Coins" which could be redeemed for Bitcoins on your site, or could be used as part of the prize/money earning part of your brand?

Why not have them email you with their order number and btc address. Sems like a better way to do this

I think hes trying to do something more on the lines of:

Wow neat shirt (buys)

Then they open and see a $20 cash gift.
But what the hell is bitcoin?

Google:bitcioin

Create wallet
New bitcoin user
profit

ya, he can manually send them bitcoins.. he can put in the voucher inside the orders..
a person who receives the voucher emails him their order number (or voucher number) and whatever bitcoin address they wish to use

Are you trying to target new users into bitcoin or are you targeting existing bitcoin users? Is there any sample of how your shirt looks like?

My target audience will not be directed solely towards Bitcoin users, however one of the sub brands will address Concurrency Smiley. Here is a sample of one of the first LevitatedINK design, sorry I cannot provide better samples, I am having some time off to the see the GF so things are a little hectic today lol.



I also created these designs on a budget (payed in BTC) for a client, I was restricted by time and brief but LevitatedINK will be free of those limitations.

"give away around 0.1BTC per sale of each T-Shirt"

How much are you going to charge for these shirts?

0.1BTC is around $13 or £8 at today's rate.

I realise this, 0.1BTC would be for the premium T-Shirts with artwork, sexy packaging and so on. There will also be added benefits to buying the higher grade premium shirts, I intend to create a brand that supports both affiliates and customers with prizes, ways to earn money an so on. I wont see my "customers" as people who buy the products, I will treat them as partners, I will go into all that another time.

Private Key QR code with instructions on how to scan in the QR code to blockchain.info, to then move /use the coins with other services /wallets

Yes, that or also include the 4 lines of code of the Private key itself.
Can I create the private key with Armoury? I have generated QR Codes before but I have not notices the feature allowing to add a specific amount into a the code.

Market it like those coupons where you get as rebates for your purchases. Maybe ' Get Approximately $13 back for your purchase with this Bitcoin coupon redeemable for cash!' to get them interested?

I already have the coupon system set up, I am thinking more along the lines of additional rewards which would bring new users to Bitcoin. I am also developing additional services that use Bitcoins too so I have a reason to give out these BTC beyond just marketing the product and supporting Bitcoin, I have a strategy. Wink

I am currently setting up a website that will sell a high quality apparel label, along with other items including Bitcoin merchandise. In order to help spread the Bitcoin message I would also like to give away around 0.1BTC per sale of each T-Shirt. I would like to ask, what is the most efficient/most secure way of doing this? Obviously it is essentially that the code is redeemable once and to the exact specified amount, ideally I would like to print some form of card that I can pack inside the T-Shirt or on a swing tag. These will be small giveaways so the ability to easily create the necessary code per item is important. I will also provide additional info on the items to help users understand Bitcoin and how they redeem their code. I have lots of great ideas to incorporate Bitcoin I just need to solve some of these basic problems.
