Suggestion for Sight Apperal

rayme07 · 09-13-2008, 04:13 AM

Hi I was wondering since you have all the great T's and ball caps and stuff in the store. I was wondering if maybe you could make like pins so people could stick them on their shirt , hat, tie, etc because I defiantly would, I like collecting pins and love to wear them. thought it would be a good idea to sell since you don't have any that I see. Thanks

That is a good suggestion Raymond. I wore my TR hoodie and t-shirt at MACNA!

Not sure if you thought about using a site like CafePress. You can upload logo images and they make custom one-offs for you. Takes having to order shirts, digitize a logo, ship and hope people pay

This way you can get buttons, magnets, shirts, hats, hoodies, coff eemugs, etc. without investing anything.

Actually the shirts, etc that we have are from CafePress. I found that they have great customer service when I ordered from them.

Thanks carmie the reason why I thought of it is because someone cant wear TR shirts 7 days a week, but they can wear a pin 7 days a week with no problem so they are supporting TR all 7 days just not one not unless they get 7 shirts lol.

Brian so your saying get the logo of TR and give it to them and they make it and send it to you is that what your saying if so TR is a copy right I think so it would be alegal to do that. Corect me if im wrong about what you said. Thanks

I think since they are already using the logo it might not be a problem but lets wait for Rob to weigh in on this.

CafePress is a site where you can create a virtual storefront with your own goodies. They supply all the stuff that is customized so you are limited to what they have but they have A LOT of stuff. As the "store owner" you upload the designs you want to make available, choose the items you want it available for and then you allow other people to select and buy it.

It is not a site where you can upload a copyrighted image and order stuff. You are violating copyright laws if you do this. Since Rob is the owner of the logo, he would submit it and set up the storefront allowing the public (you me and anyone else interested) to order items. Since this was already done, you can go to this site and see what you can get: TalkingReef Gear : CafePress.com

No problem! Its also very easy to set up. My brother made a custom logo of our last name "Blank" from the old "Blatz" beer logo and uploaded to CafePress so I've ordered some stuff from there with it. If you ever get an idea for your own shirt design, its the place to go

yes i have had the cafepress store up for a few years now.. and even when i promote the heck out of it the interest has been VERY low. so we keep it running but not a lot of attention has been going into it..
