Having just broken even on NUTS shirts and stickers we've been thinking about more merchandise for our club.
Shayna wants thongs.....
I want hoodies and toques..... Hey, it's cold outside.
Anyway, we've put together a design for zippered hoodies. The chest print would have the NUTS logo and the back would read "It's not a van, it's a bus"- "It's not a hobby, it's a disease".
What do you NUTS think??
The idea behind ordering/selling NUTS merchandise is not only to give the members what they want but also to cover the cost of maintaining the site (domain registration/hosting) and little extras like mailing out t-shirts and stickers. Basically we are wanting to operate at a break even point and anything above that would be used to benefit the club in whatever way the members see fit.
So, we are looking for any ideas that you may have!

I'm not really a hoodie guy, but i would buy one. i would be up for sweatshirts though.
I was thinking that we could raise a little money by deciding that 5 or 10% of anything (parts and stuff) that we buy off fellow NUTS we could donate to the club, but we all seem to give stuff to each other, so that makes for a pretty lame fund raiser.
Let's everybody give this some thought and we can come up with something creative!!

Zipper hoodies are always very useful! I think it would be cool to do some kids and/or pets apparel. Coffee mugs?
Above all I would LOVE to see a 2007 Calender featuring NUTS members rides!

Sweatshirts can also be done. Pretty much anything can be done.
Thanks for the feedback Keith.

If I had to pick the top three pieces of merchandise that I would buy, they would probably be as follows,
T-shirts
Ballcaps, although toques are good, unfortunately I'll never have more hair than I do today...
Patches! I don't know how easy this would be to do, but then the end user could put them on whatever they want (jackets, baby clothes, etc.)
And now I want a sticker that says "It's not a van, it's a bus!" with the NUTS logo off to one side.
As far as funds go, why not just work in the 5 or 10% to the selling price to help maintain and cover shipping, etc.

Those are some great ideas. I especially like the ideas of patches and a NUTS calendar.  |
