Gathering of the Figments

Figment · Posted: Sun Oct 07, 2007 8:28 pm Post subject: Merchandise?

Ok... So i have been looking into it a bit, and am thinking about starting it net year... But in the meantime... What sort of merchandise for our lovely gathering would you like to see... And which would you be more likely to buy?

I am thinking that we will do limited runs, and we will maybe have a limited run each year, depending on how many people end up actually buying them... So they would be like a collector's item, that will also help to advertise the site...

Above are some of the options... But also, feel free to suggest other things that you would like to see, and even what you would like to see printed on them...

Pens I would buy, bags if they're cool, and maybe a mug.

For bags i was thinking one of those shoulder bag things, so that people can use them for school and work and stuff... Like on of those rectangular ones... But what would you like to see in a gotf bag?

Also... On the bags/glasses/pens/everything else... What would you like to see? Would you like to see our little heading thing? The:

"Gathering of the Figments
A place for random figments to gather."

Or something like:

"Gathering of the Figments
It's a writing site!"

Or perhaps...

"Gathering of the Figments
2008: Coconut Rice, Aussies and VW's"

That being the one that makes it more of a collector's item... Each year they would bear the insignia of the poetry book... And they would be in a limited run...

I like the first one!

I also like my line: "Let's get Figgy with it"

Marianas knows.

Yup, that I do.

I think if we have a yearly thing it should be something small like pens or mugs, and then have bags in a style that doesn't change. 'Cause I might buy a pen every year, but I'll only get one bag.

Yeah, thats a good idea... So the folders and bags would be more general...

"Gathering of the Figments
A place for random figments to gather."

And some glasses and pens each year with the theme or year on them...

That way, if you do need to buy another bag, to replace an old one of whatever, you can get the same one...

Maybe after a few years we will get some different colours or something... So it's not exactly the same...

Yes!

That WAS actually one of the things that i was looking at... I just forgot to list it i guess...

They also have those Lanyard thingies... And... Some other stuff...

Perhaps we can get the actual notepads... With the insignia at the bottom of the page, along with the website... That way... If people are leaving notes, writing letters, or whatever... They will also be advertising us...

I would also want to put the web address on the bags and folders and stuff... I know that if i am walking around, and i see some website written somewhere, or on a bag or a hat with no real explanation... I want to go and check it out as soon as i get home...

For those of us who have laptops; skins. But I'm having a hard enough time being in a book. The whole "people will know me" thing sets me off guard.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I'm back. xD
