BackerClub Forums

Greeting Fellow Backers,

Just want to ask will the Club make T-Shirts in the future?

Thought it will be nice to wear it around.

Warmest Regards,
Ken

I'm willing to sponsor to make some?

No one interested at all?

Not sure at the moment. I like the idea but I'm cutting back on my spending.

Hope the other members are interested too.

So we can make a few?

I like the idea. In fact, we've thought about doing something with tshirts in a bigger sort of way, possibly even running our own Kickstarter project for some really nicely designed BackerClub tshirts. We've also thought about doing this for other BackerClub items (maybe a deck of cards...if there is a card designer or artist our there who wants to take a stab at designing a stylish deck for BackerClub we'd totally get behind it!).

We've also thought about doing something with BackerClub tshirts in the private lounges.

Totally agree with you Mark.

Do we have a logo beyond the name?

We should do a wallet. That's the perfect Kickstarter item. http://wtfkickstarter.com/tagged/wallet

Jacket and a cap will be nice too.

As a company founder myself, I've found that promotional swag is often a bit of a waste of money. Not that they would not be purchased, but most times are only worn a few times, and not to locations where on-body advertising really works (i.e. promo gear is most often worn around the house, at the gym, etc.)

However, items like promotional rubber bracelets have seen much better results as they can often comfortably worn out in social situations which may spark a conversation.

So in summary - if you DO create promotional clothing, do so to appease current member asking for it rather than as a growth strategy, and reset your expectations accordingly.
