Well gang... I got to say thanks to JAG1 for going out on a limb and producing the first swag for the site. It's a basic stainless steel badge that is stencil cut with the logo of the site. You can mount this in different locations like on your grill, some double sided tape and stick it to the glass or above the Dodge Badge. It up to you.

 

The only thing I need yet to start selling is I need to pick up a some flat rate envelopes from the post office and I'll be set. Later tonight I'm finish the description in the store.  So you might want to look over here...

They advertise on TV that pickup is available at your home. Maybe just in town?

What about adding mopar 1973 man.com license plate frames? I don't want to corner all the ideas.... thoughts?

I might not have to work tomorrow so I might get to head down and do some vector artwork and get stickers going.

How about mileage badges? I am coming up to 200K. Would love to have something that says the site got me  to that point!

Like that idea Brian. I'm trying to help get some marketable ideas to help this site as it does get the traffic.

How about mileage badges? I am coming up to 200K. Would love to have something that says the site got me to that point!

Lets think about that just a little bit. Let's change up the standard 100k intervals and consider something different maybe trips to the moon? (238k), 1/4 of million blocks? I know Cummins does the every 100k thing. Let come up withour own system. Also a method of verification of mileage.

Problem with selling stuff is that the margin is pretty narrow. Gotta be creative to pull off selling bling and make a decent margin to make it worth while. Postage, inventory, etcetera eat into profit. Now taking something from nothing and selling offers a bigger margin. Like making the high idle mod kit.

I like the idea of incentives. Donate $100 and get a tee shirt or a windscreen decal. Only way to get it, exclusive. Make a forum section for $100+ donors. Make it visible, but not openable unless you've joined the club. Incentives do not have such a high cost to the site as trying to offer products with preceived value. Donate $500 and get a free high idle mod kit with custom donor faceplate.

I don't know how I took so long to see this!! Ordered mine just now!

As long as Geno's won't advertise here on the Mopar forum and Mike Nelson works so much for us to keep things going, why not try getting some of that market? Shoe string..... it might be but, maybe worth a try

Anyway, I really appreciate the interest in purchasing, the Badge shows your support rather than just a plain advertisement as we all know how much effort Mikes' put into this forum and has helped many.

I hope it's not adding more work.

Initially it adds more work because I've got to learn something new. Once I figure it out then things get easier.

Two more left today for there new homes.

Got mine in the mail today and it looks great! Now just gotta find the perfect spot for it

It should say this post...

 

Pictures are required...

Just need to decide where I want it

I got to admit its been quite the adventure learning Magento Store software and learn how to sell stuff over the internet. I've got so much more to learn and setup yet.

I got mine in the mail Saturday, its looking pretty on my desk till I find a good spot on my truck for it.

Mine looks good on the grill. Drill holes so it rest evenly on the grill honeycomb. I used black plastic behind the grill for the screws to go thru. Just when you drill the holes in the badge make sure they go where it rests on the level section of honeycomb grill.

 

I can send precut pieces of black plastic and two ss screws if you like. Free of charge.

 

Another good spot is using 3-M double sided tape on the back window. Make sure it's real clean before sticking. Or just place on drivers side dash to be seen thru the window.

 

Thanks again everyone.

Two more left today for there new homes.

One should be mine.  I'm thinking I'll mount it on my Rock Tamer mud flap.

Yea... It was. I was trucked from home to the actual post office this time. I had to make a grocery run to McCall for misc food stuffs. Being I'm having issues with email I'm not able to email stuff so I'll PM your tracking.

 

Expect it Friday 04/03/15.
