You can buy directly from Ebay though, would it help if i created more options within Ebay for people. ?

Morning all.

Today is question time. The question is...

Why is the merchandise not more popular ?

Is it down to lack of 'how do i buy it?' or is it down to patterns/colours/logos ? or is it down to something else ?

I don't put anything on the price, i just sell them for the price i'm charged, so i'm not looking to make money from it... but i would like to grow the website/forum and i think Merch helps there.

I've also got them on Ebay... ignoring the price, i can't change that.... but how's the advert ?

Serious question, serious answer.

a) I have too many teeshirts and sweatshirts. I could probably manage the rest of my life without buying another piece of clothing. This weekend I have just given 5 teeshirts the heave ho, mainly because I don't like them much, and have vowed (again!) not to buy any more.

b) the colours are a bit boring. Most blokes seem to like subdued colours, I don't! I like red, yellow, orange, bright blue, even pink!

I may not have shown all the colours... but all of them are possible yes.

To be frank and honest, and whilst not wanting to come across as an asshat,

1; Sizing
2; It raises the potential for someone to associate me with a place I hang out for relaxation
3; You've a limited market, anyone not a member here wouldn't be interested in buying

That's probably nail on head.

I've no ideas how you'd get around that.

Q? That hoodie looks like it has a full length zip but on ebay it says kangaroo pocket. If zipped, I could be tempted. :D

Do you have to carry stock or do they supply to order?

You need to get some young dashing things to wander round wearing them at a bike show. If they saw us lot wearing them people would think it's the provisional wing of SAGA. :lol:

1 - Shipping!

TBF, when I'm working I would probably look again. Probably to collect in May!


2 - Sizing (mine!) - currently too much of a biffa to want to buy anything nice. That will change by spring!

Hoodies (full zip) are something I pretty much live in. Not sure that it would help with growing the forum having some mad bint wearing one out in France.



TBF - I've not looked too hard at the options due to the above, but when I can buy, I'll look harder!! :D

That's the great thing, they supply to order. The only downside to this is that i don't have lots of pretty pics of different things in a 'shop' context. But it does mean i don't have ££££ tied up in obscure products with sizes i don't want or need

In terms of Hoodys, there's various options
https://www.tshirtstudio.com/personalised-hoodies

Both me and Welsh Muffin have the Varsity ones which does have a large single pocket

This comes in decent colour options too. I've got the Burgundy/Charcoal, she's got a Pink.

One other thing that might have affected sales: people haven't been out and about much the last 18 months. As that improves, so might sales.

But, with others, I have tons of Ts, fleeces and rugby shirts, and really don't need more (or have space for them).

Cheers. I quite fancy a premium (zipped) hoodie. I guess that means the long logo is out - then there's the colour choices...too many options! I'll speak to my style consultant. :lol:

If it's the same as mine,there is no logo on the back. Good heavy quality.

Didn't see that option! The shorter logo on the left will be fine I think. Just size and colour to work out now. :D
