Why not give some stickers away when a user upgrades their account?

To what stickers do you refer ?

Should you choose to purchase some stickers for Admin to dispense as you request, I'm sure he would be grateful for you do the mailing etc.

Shaun has put a lot of his own money, energy and (family ) time into making CC what it is now. Despite all this, CC does not run at a profit. It is still a labour of love which might, one day, provide an economic benefit to Shaun.

Er.. The stickers in the OP.

And it was only a suggestion. The price for upgrade could be increased slightly, the user gets some stickers and Shaun might well get more ££ from more people being interested. At the moment you don't really get anything for upgrading, giving something for it (the costs of which absorbed in the fee) is sound business sense.

It was just a thought. Personally I upgraded as a thank you to Shaun and am not after anything for it. But coming from a sales and site commerce background there are ways that Shaun could raise money for the work he does (which he clearly deserves) and that's one of them.

It's not a bad idea, but as others have mentioned - CC isn't a business (well, not yet anyway! ) - and as such I don't have any spare money to invest in promotional materials.

It would be quite cool to have them on the counters of local bike shops and stuck on our bikes, trailers, or cars ... maybe with a catchy or cheeky slogan ... but for the moment this would have to be driven by the membership.

I can supply the logo artwork but that would be about the limit of my commitment for the moment, sorry.

Cheers,
Shaun

Driven by the membership? Peddled surely?

What someone is peddling stickers you say

Car stickers would likely get more visability I feel, I'd happily fly the flag on my rear window...i wear my CC shirt when riding most of the time anyway.

I've asked a contact of mine for a price on stickers based on the CC page banner. I felt YM's sizes were a bit to boxy so I've suggested 80mm x 25mm, but any other suggestions welcomed. I figured this would be a decent size for bikes and kit etc. I never considered car stickers for some reason but I can certainly ask. I'll report back with some prices.
I don't honestly know how feasible it would be for me to do this, but I'm happy to make some enquiries and we can go from there.
I'm going to start a new post with a poll to gauge interest if that's ok with kishan as the OP and Shaun as the gaffer.
(kishan please note, they won't be free!)

Lets see what happens with the costings. I've started a new thread to gauge interest here; http://www.cyclechat.net/threads/cyclechat-stickers-would-you.95244/
As for posting I guess it's either in for a penny in for a pound, or with you buying them someone equally generous volunteering to post them out. Dunno know how you'd split the sticker/postage costs though. Mind you it's easy enough to send money between PayPal acocunts, watch this space

I would certainly display them on the cars, but there are so many graphics on the bike already, that wouldn't appeal to me personally.

I've ordered a buff recently to support the site and I will be upgrading my account in the near future, now that I've decided that the site is deffo for me

 

[DCLane]

Car sticker preferably - or one which does both. And I'd buy one

[QUOTE 1715385, member: 45"]Similarly, t-shirts is another good idea. spokeshirts will print them and set up a payments page off his website. Again, we need someone to do the legwork.
[/quote]no. Shirts are not a good idea. Shirts don't fit because people think they are the same size they were ten years ago. Shirts get lost in the post. Shirts are a pain in the butt. Let me tell you. Actually, let me tell you and McWobble. If he's listening, which I doubt. And don't think I didn't notice the 'leg'work.

At the risk of being thought a crusty old-fashioned person who rides a steel bike, I'm with Norm

Did I hear correct? Kishan is going to fork out from his own pockets. The design, printing and delivery of free CycleChat stickers?

That's nearly what was suggested. Just change everything and you'll be spot on. But they only need to be plain black & white or see through, so that's ok.
