Mugs

maybe this is stupid.. but i am posting anyway

at the company, we are making mugs.. each has the company name printed on it .. ur name. and title

and i did some extra designs for mugs for friends .. funny mugs...w heik (loool)
i immagine the shock at the company if i don't personaly receive the mugs lool . i hope they don't open them

so i thought.. i might do lebGeeks mugs
so what u say samer ?

i can put the lebgeeks logo (the one rolf once asked about )
and maybe each member name and title underneath the logo

LOGO
ubbergeek     rolf

something like that

or u guys can send me any design that you want to do for ur frnds, girlfrnds,...any fun mug u have in mind
like wow character..maybe something with ur pc specs ...... lots of idea
all u need to do is send me a pic file

and all the above costs 5$ including price of the mug and the printing
so what u say ?

hala2 to give u the mugs,
there are couple of options :
like maybe we can do a small meeting
or i put the mugs at some place or shop and u pick them

first let me know how many mugs u guys want ?

Re: Mugs

I think it's a good idea but it would be more interesting if we manage to get a retail price (and that, if there is enough demand). What about other merchandise mir? shirts and stuff? contact me via pm/email/msn asap.

Re: Mugs

and that, if there is enough demand

define :enough demand
i think max 5-6 ppl will ask for mugs

well.. if u like the idea,i think we can ask around
or maybe u can get the mug, i think printing only will cost shi 2000-3000
if other members ask around it will be nice , and we get the cheapest one

well.. about other stuff.. if u want to do that , i think we can manage to get decent prices, it is just a matter of decision

what is ur msn by the way
in the profile it is said : request by PM
so, can u pm to me

Re: Mugs

I was thinking, selling some merchandise to get enough funds to start an advertising campaign to inform people about LebGeeks (especially students). What do you think ?

Re: Mugs

well.. when i posted i was only thinking of something fun to do/to have

what u are thinking about samer, is a whole different story

i think u should open a new thread regarding marketing campaign and how to improve lebgeeks
u first have to decide what ur campaign startegy and goals
then calculate the campaign costs
then find the apporpriate way to cover the costs, and i wonder y ppl would like to buy lebgeeks mugs if lebgeeks means nothing to them..7a tfut bikhsara then samer.. and where u wana sell..
( i am not planing to volunteer and sell them 3ala l rond point  )

as they say - ma 3am 7ot 3asa bil douleb - i am just thinking of a planning

and once again. when i started this thread... all i had in mind, was something fun to do or to have

Isn't helping LebGeeks get on its feet "fun" ? :)

Re: Mugs

i think mir is kind of right, enno who would buy them? enno ok, some of us would, i would buy anything (mug, tshirt, car sticker, laptop sticker,... any fun stuff) but who from outside the forum would? enno even some members may not be interested, so what about none members...
bass if there is something that would work or if u have a secret kickass startegy then ok.

Exactly, i have trying to get stuff there from ages. I don't think they ship here, plus shipping + tshirts cost a lot more than buying them locally...

We don't want to get the sys-admin made now, do we ? :) I'll try getting permission to do a public mailing list announcement.

Re: Mugs

Mmm yeah that is a cool idea, but i also like the shirt idea, except no plainnormal cut shirts... i demand a sexy cut and i'll proudly wear it...

abut the mugs, Samer, i haven't forgot (weird .. i am surprising myself those days )

but waiting for the confirmation on qty prices

Re: Mugs

mir, padre, rolf is going to give me the contact details of various print shops. We were thinking of something a little bigger than the lebgeeks logo (i'll post about it in the private forum). Anyway, can anyone work on a vector image version of the logo ? (SVG).
