Virginia and Lynn, great idea for the polls! Looks like there's well over 30 slogans! It's been forever since I've done a poll - will a poll support that many? If it can, you might want to start with pick your top 10 or so. Another thought... some of them seem to be similar but for the "reading" or "writing" distinction. I wonder if we could combine those for now (e.g. "I'd rather be writing/reading fanfiction."), and if they make it to the end, separate them out?
I'll do some poking around on the different sites for swag people have mentioned and see what's most feasible. I think it'd be nice to have more than one slogan available, if possible.
I did some poking around on CafePress and Zazzle... and it seem slike it would be far too cost-prohibitive to make anything other than a shirt. For example, a base price for a mug on CafePress is $10.99. As a shop owner, I can mark that up by $15 without being charged extra. (And I'd have to do more research, but I believe opening a shop also puts your stuff on the CafePress Marketplace, where *they* get to set a price. Only 10% commission comes from that. This could split and confuse our profits, not to mention making it very unwieldy.)
I think the t-shirts through teespring.com (or CafePress also has a similar fundraising setup) is our best bet.
That said, we could have some stickers made up for fairly cheap (though mailing them out would be the pricy part) at moo.com -
http://us.moo.com/products/rectangular-stickers.html Maybe everyone with a minimum donation of $x would get a sticker? Or we could even get a couple of sets printed and people could dontate for a sticker pack of the top 5 slogans? (I imagine that stickers could incorporate some of the similar slogans: Like a mirrored image of "I'd rather be reading/writing fanfiction.")
Did you want to get the poll(s) started, Virginia?
Thanks!
Sara
