Title: UGP T-shirts
Post by: elmeaux on May 2, 2007, 06:02 PM
Hope this wasn't out of line, but I set up a cafepress shop for the UGP. I've set all products at base price so I'm not making a dime off of it.  I thought those attending and/or manning the booth might like to order a shirt to wear with the logo and website address on it.

Here's the link:
http://www.cafepress.com/theugp

I'm also thinking it might be cool if we have some nice pictures after the con to do a calendar, mousepads, commemoritive T, etc.

Anyhow, let me know what you think.

Personally, I think this is awesome. I was thinking of mentioning something like this, and I'm glad you did this.

Just wondering, is there any way to get other colors - perhaps a blue shirt with white lettering or something?

OMG, count me in for one of those!  We can get one even if we're not attending, or no?

I think that conveys my thoughts on this very nicely!

Awesome, I'll put it up on the front page for everyone to have fun with  8)

Unfortunately, according to their site anything that is white in the image is going to be the color of the shirt. But I'll look into what I might be able to do. I saw they have black shirts now that have a different set up so maybe white will work on those.

I've never bought anything through Cafe Press before so if anyone has experience with them feel free to chime in. I did see a tote bag someone had done a couple years back and I thought the quality was acceptable.

OMG, count me in for one of those!  We can get one even if we're not attending, or no?

Definitely anyone can order! I know I'm getting one for myself.  ;D

They have a lot more apparel and other products too. It doesn't cost anything to add them so if there's something someone wants let me know and when I have time I'll add it. I just tried to cover the basics in case anyone wanted to try to get something in time for C4.

I'm thinking a set of "vacation" postcards from Judde Lulos would be neat. 8)

Btw, here's a larger view of the image:

I think the size on the shirt will be like 10" x 3"

Title: Re: UGP T-shirts

I am definately ordering one. I too wish they had a baseball cap. Too bad we can't sell these at the convention.

Well I just found out I'm in the same boat as Daigo No CIV for me. Because of our move, and its a few days before our friend graduates from the Airforce academy, we simply have too much on our plate so we can't make it. But I will definately be buying a shirt to put in My Starwars room in our new house  :)

Ok, I've updated with colored shirts for men, women, and kids(figured out how to make that work); three types of cap; stickers; and mugs. Hope these all work out!

After the show, if anyone would like to donate some high resolution pictures I'd be happy to do up more stuff for this.

THat stuff is so cool.  I haven't look closely at ordering.... what kind of turn around do we have on this?  Could we have a handful of items made for give-aways??

According to their site, except for the colored shirts, everything ships "in 2 business days". The colored shirts say "minimum 5 days" but they also say they "cannot guarantee delivery time for [beta] dark shirts."  Guess the process for those takes longer...

After that it would depend on which shipping method you choose.

I'm really curious how these are going to come out! I'm not going to be able to make an order right away so if anyone else does please let us know what you think of what you get.  :)

One T-shirt and one baseball cap are now on their way to my house  8)

So if anyone else is lookin' at the black brushed canvas cap, I'll let ya know how it turns out.

Which T-Shirts did you guys order...
Title: Re: UGP T-shirts
Post by: Phrubruh on May 4, 2007, 09:41 AM
I bought the cheap value t-shirt, the wing logo hat and the smaller sticker. All logos have been approved by Mary Franklin so we are allow to give away shirts and stickers away at the show. Once the sticker arrives, I'm going to scan it and print out about five hundered of them to give out.

What do you think about buying 8-10 value t-shirts to give away at the show for contests?

Instead of scanning the sticker, I could send you a file to print from so the quality will be better. Give me the size of your stickers and I'll resize the image so that it stays sharp. PM me and we can work that out.

It looks like they have a bulk discount on 15 or more of the same item for the shop owner (I'm still learning about what they do so sorry I didn't have this info before): http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/shop_services.aspx#bulk

I don't see the value shirt on the list but if there is anything else you want, if you are willing to front the money, I can make the order and have it shipped to you.

It really depends on how many hundreds of dollars I want to spend on this thing. We do have donated money that is going towards a booth banner, touch up supplies, booth supplies (ie internet) and swag but that will get eaten up very quickly. I guess it all depends on the size of the discount and if we really want to give out something more than stickers.

If you look at the link above it gives you a list of the regular and disccount prices on the various items available. I know I don't have the money for anything like that, but since you mentioned it I figured I get you the info.   8)

Personally, I always dig free stickers but then that comes from 20 years of skateboarding culture.  ;D

I think the stickers are enough as a give-away. 
Title: Re: UGP T-shirts

I guess if the creators are all dressed in the shirts that will be enough. Free stickers are always lots of fun!
Title: Re: UGP T-shirts
Post by: jedistyle on May 4, 2007, 07:17 PM
i think stickers would be very cool to do. shirts seem a bit much especially with the small number we would have.

i forgot to mention the which shirts i ordered inmy earlier post:

1 cardnial red shirt
1 charcoal grey shirt
1 white shirt

I've got the sticker graphic. I can put 12 on each sheet of clear sticker paper. Each sticker will be 2"x3".

I also forgot to buy my UGP shirt - I remembered on Saturday and paid the extra for shipping - should get one prior to leaving.  I ordered one for me and one for my son to wear.

There's been no further activity with the UGP shirts since May therefore I'm going to close up the shop at the end of the month. So if you're interested in anything, get your orders in  before then.

If we do this again, we'll have new hats and t-shirts made up. Go ahead and shut the store down.
