I frequent this board and occasionally WAGuns.org. The folks over there are very nice but I like this interface more and the "New" posts feature being very handy. WAGuns does have one thing that I really like, and that is a pretty cool logo. It looks good on caps, t-bubblegums, AR dust covers, patches etc. I don't want to knock what we have here (they don't have an awesome lower receiver), but they do have a pretty solid selection of swag. I don't know how much they earn from it, but would it be worthwhile considering a logo to go with our letterhead and expanding on the options of what we sell?

The biggest issue with apparel and such is the upfront cost, storage, and shipping, but I agree with you that we need to do more in this area. Now that we have the funds to put forth upfront I am planning on doing another run of hats and a couple other items soon

Just paid up to become a bronze member, and I feel it was a small price to pay considering how much I use this forum. Let's keep it alive!

Thank you!

One thing to consider in this regard is to utilize a Print On Demand company such as CafePress, Threadless, or one of the numerous other POD providers. You give up a little in profit but in return you don't have to worry about inventory, shipping or guessing what's going to sell.

I've sold a few shirts this way via a Print On Demand site called MySoti.com .They're a smaller UK outfit and don't offer hats. I can set the amount of profit I want for each item. I usually shoot for 25%. Here's my designer page to give you an idea.

I'm also trying to create a presence on a couple other Print On Demand sites in order to find the one that works best with my style.

Just something for you to think about.

I don't mind the current logo.
Against a black background, it does alright.
I'd be proud to wear one on a cap or t-shirt.

P.S. - Joe, whatever you do, please don't hire a mindless clown to run that apparel part for you. I just picked up a couple of shirts from a well know Seattle burger chain...what a nightmare! Fortunately we got it all worked out.

I looked into a few of the POD providers a year or two ago, ultimately choosing Amazon Merch due to their rev share % and free prime shipping. I think at the time with CafePress and Spreadshirt we'd have had to charge $30 for a t-shirt to make $5. The downside to Amazon Merch is the limited number of items.

I'll have to revisit the various offerings again.

I'd love to have a new logo designed, and I've been thinking about it for a while now, but it's definitely not near the top of my priority list.

Hiring someone to do that for us isn't viable due to the low volume, so no worries there!

In that case you'd definitely be a good fit. I'll message you

Thats great!!! Do you guys have a web site?

How hard is it to fix the meter?
It'd be nice to be able to see what we've done instead of only seeing it work when donations are crap.
