Post by weeksy »

Thanks to our lovely member Slenver who designed our banner, we have a new Logo and hopefully in the future we'll have it added to the banner on the top of the forum

Maybe I'm an old stick in the mud, but like the one with race bike on it.

I like that idea, we'll see if he reads this as I don't wanna be a burden

That bit will stay, it'll just have the .co.uk bit on the end and future merchandise will have the .co.uk like stickers, t-shirts etc

There's a question. Sort of. But not really, the software comes with a Shop, but it's horrific to work, manage and administration is dire.

https://www.tshirtstudio.com/

All the merchandise comes from here, but obviously not with our logo on their site. But I don't charge anything on top, just their cost and their postage. But anything and everything can be ordered.

It's not an ideal way of doing it but it's the best we have

Have you considered using a print on demand company?

Upload the design then customers order the item they want, size, colour, etc.

https://www.spreadshirt.co.uk/

Save you the ordering, stocking, P&P, etc. You decide the sale price, any profit.

That's similar to how it's done really, as I say, there's no profit, everything goes direct to purchaser with invoice etc. The only difference is that people don't have the logo, but even that we could manage.

I'll certainly have a peek though thank you

Edit. Prices seem higher than t shirt studio and less colours and styles too

With ref to current merch supplier that Weeksy uses, I've got a Sweatshirt and a long sleeved T, both appear to be really good quality and are handy for layering at this time of year :) :thumbup: :thumbup:

That's the advantage of POD - you don't hold stock, people order what they want, when they want it.

As for range, quality, cost, I've no idea. Just used them as an example of the option.

Just a question, are the sticker logos adaptable to use them on the top of visors .... i know VD used to do them as i had them in original cloour and the chrome ones and were popular as well as good advertising for the site

Last one i had was from a local forum on my Arai ..... its a heavily cropped pic so lost a bit of detail on the lettering but was "eastofenglandbikers.co.uk"

As i said just a thought for further advertising of the site and if its a faff no worries

I'll take some off your hands, I can put them on my trackday bike, it's always going slow enough for the photographer to get it in focus.
