Marketing Survey for Ludington Torch Paraphernalia

[XLFD]

With the gift-giving season coming up, I'd like to start at least a limited product line of Ludington Torch products circulating.  This will not only help show your support of the free expression  and liberties the Torch advocates and promote the product to others, but also help fund the operating costs of this venture.  After Thanksgiving, the results of this informal survey will be reviewed, a pay pal account will be made available, and a product line will be rolled out.  This survey will decide what products members are interested in having and establish a brand.

 

Products:  Which of the following Torch-brand products may you be interested in purchasing?

 

1- T-Shirts

2- Sweat Shirts

3- Hooded Sweat Shirts

4- Shorts

5- Pet Clothing

6- Bumper Stickers

7- Mugs

8- Mousepads

9- Buttons

10- Baseball Caps

11- Keychains

12- Sew-on T-Shirt pockets

13- Stickers

14- Jackets

Brand: 

 

Initial ideas are:

 

A.  The word "Ludington" written in fiery yellow-orange letters with a Statue-of-Liberty-Style Torch where the 't' is.

 

B.  A good-sized bronze torch like above with the words "Ludington" placed on the base of it.

 

C.  A flaming torch in the foreground, the flames partially obscuring the word 'Ludington' in the back.

 

D.  The word 'Torch' in fiery writing, with a large T and the web address underneath the 'orch'.

 

 

 

Other Problems:

 

As we value your privacy, there may be problems of distribution.  There may also be a time delay for certain items, since many items will likely not be stockpiled and need to be specially ordered. 

 

Please list any other concerns or observations; this is my first foray into this area.  Thank you for any input!

I can't...Don't have $$$ even to send my grands gifts.

[Sweater Cows!]

Are you using Cafepress for this? I don't think you'd have any privacy issues if you are. They make the stuff as its ordered. you send in your artwork and it can go on any of their items.

[XLFD]

Cafepress is a possibility, as are some of the other e-businesses that offer such options, but I'm more wanting to employ some of the local custom clothing shops. I would like to keep costs down for everyone, and keep the cash close to home. If you've researched some of these options yourself, I'd appreciate any input you have on them. I want to make some decisions shortly after Thanksgiving weekend.

Thank you, but I'll pass. I don't want my family to know I live a secret life.

[XLFD]

Sorry, Mary. I got some pretty revealing pictures of you at your local library in front of a computer tuned to the Ludington Torch, and the E-mail addresses of everyone of your relatives except for a couple of second cousins.

Buy a sweatshirt for each of them or they will find out about this double life you're trying to get away with ; )
