Cafe Press?

Dan and Doug,

Have either of you looked into a cafepress.com type of idea for selling gear? All you do is set up the merchandise online with your logo on it and they handle the rest... then they send you a check for you share of the profit once you hit your designated cutoff amount.

just an idea... let me know if you need any more info on it.

We've discussed it in the past and decided that such services offer such low-quality products it's not worth it. I have one that I'm looking at as an option, but as always, t-shirts are very low on our priority list seeing as how we can barely keep the site up and running 100% of the time right now.

No problem... I just thought of it because I used to use it to push my bands merchandise. I thought it might be a low maintenance way for you to gain income and sell merchandise.

If there is ever anything I can do to help, please let me know.
I am a Graphic Designer/Web Designer/Web Animation Designer by trade so let me know.

I have to agree with Dan. I think CafePress is over priced, low quality merchandise.

I understand where you are coming from...

Overpriced - YES!

Quality - Everything I have bought from them (my Bands Merchandise) has been pretty good quality material... I still have all of my shirts (they are at least 5 years old) and my wife still has her shirts and undies (the fun kind

)

I just liked the fact that we got a check for $100 for hardly doing anything (no inventory control or shipping from our end). Every time our share of the profit hit $100, they sent us a check.

I'm sure there are similar ways to accomplish the same goal for less money and better quality products.

CafePress = Out
Moving on with bigger and better things... WooHoo!
