Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 12:55 pm Post subject: PGPSW Merchandise |
|
|
New car stickers are apparently on their way and there may be sufficient interest for other merchandise, but let's not bombard the team with requests just yet.
Perhaps it would be an idea to approach the team in an orderly fashion with a considered 'request'.
What I'm suggesting is that perhaps we ought to determine the demand for various items before requesting other items of merchandise.
T-shirts *
Sweatshirts *
Mugs
Mouse mats
Key fobs
* embroidered may look smarter than screen print
Please add your wishes in order that demand may be gauged. _________________ Andy

MikeB mentioned this at our last team meeting and I didn't see the market for them, I'm happy to be proved wrong of course but perhaps a poll is in order.
What I'm wary of is being saddled with stock we have paid for that we can't sell! _________________ Darren Griffin

Perhaps, I should have included a 'disclaimer' saying that this is just an opinion and the team reserve the right to make the final decision
I did consider a poll, but doesn't that limit people to vote for only one option? Have I missed a feature of the polls, which would allow you to vote for multiple items?
The polls I've seen would therefore only allow you to vote for, perhaps, t-shirts or mugs or mouse mats.
If you get peoples' orders and either a deposit or full payment beforehand, then there will be no excess stock unless the team decided to keep a few of this or that for anybody who comes along later.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'm sure that people would be happy to place their order and wait for merchandise to be 'made to order'.
I seem to remember mention of merchandise a while ago and I famously missed the word 'embroidered' in a post and then suggested mugs, only to prompt another member to ask exactly how I was going to embroider mugs and how they would then hold coffee _________________ Andy

I wasn't complaining, simply suggesting that my personally held view could be way off the mark and it would be useful to know if there was demand _________________ Darren Griffin |

Cross them off the list then
One free with every car sticker??
Buy one, get one free??
Two for the price of three?? (yes, you read it right! )
Oh dear, what have I started? _________________ Andy

...I have keys, hundreds of the...
I haven't a clue what they all unlock but keys they certainly are.
ANYWAY! Where's this poll then? I need a new mouse mat to put my new mug on!
I will be honest and say, unless you intended to give them out as some sort of welcome pack, uptake would mostly be within the regular folk who visit these posts. _________________ Dom

I didn't say that anybody was complaining - I just wanted to make it clear that the team has the final say, hence the bold.
If DennisN has as many T-shirts as TomToms, that would constitute a batch in itself _________________ Andy

How do I do a multi-item poll?? Is it possible?
I didn't want to start a poll which limited people to vote for one item or another, it would be best to see how many people would like what. _________________ Andy

No. You can only set up a poll for singular choices. Your only option would be to set up options to include various groups of items. This however would result in lots of options to choose from.
a. a mug
b. a mug, & shirt
c. a mug, shirt, & key fob
Yawn! _________________ Dom

OK then. What if PGPSW come up with a design and then allow the picture to be downloaded to allow people to print, on special paper, and 'iron' on to their own T-shirts. There are also plastic sheets which can be printed on and stuck on to anything from cups to candles. No cost to PGPSW, no unsold stock and members can decide the quality and colour of their T-shirts etc. _________________ Formerly known as Lost_Property

Good idea, but my fear there would be 'shabby' low quality T-shirts might be a poor reflection on PGPSW, whilst smart good quality might show PGPSW in a better light. Also, with everybody doing their own, there would be not standard corporate image.
For example, an embroidered T-shirt may look better than a screen print and we are trying to promote the PGPSW corporate image are we not?
Also, if enough are ordered perhaps the cost of good quality will be brought down to a comparable level of individuals buying their own. _________________ Andy
