Help and ideas for ASR Merchandize

[sweetchaos]

@Helicopter Congrats to becoming a 'Major Contributor'. That was your 1000's post!

Triblend, eco, and premium tees all look good. I would love a pint glass too, preferably traditional British pub glass. An American craft beer glass.would work too. I think you can charge more than list MSRP since you are providing a valuable public service. Maybe 100% markup plus shipping.

100% markup is totally realistic for people like me. That's because, before handing over money, we always insist on a 50% discount. Thank you for your generous subsidy

For Canadians importing to Canada that would make them too expensive. We have to pay duty and taxes on them. A big beer glass and big coffee mug would be nice too.

I wouldn't be seen dead in anything polyester. We live in the hottest, driest nation on earth and I only wear cotton, wool and leather (shoes/belts/bdsm gear-kidding) and maybe silk (ties).

The kids these days with wicking polyester shirts and active wear- just couldn't do it. Feels like a plastic bag to my skin.

Well, given that this is already going on, i'll respond here...
I get you. I even have a problem with sleeping with polyester duvet covers. Cotton more [maybe mostly] in the sweaty regions too. [afaik, that applies where you are, or at least in the coastal region.]
Generally pure cotton t-shirts more comfortable for me than poly-cotton. Probably the reason why most still are cotton.
However, the tech fabrics are proven too, for sports activity. Wicking and evaporation, cooling. imo often better when it's the more woven, fleece-like type....doesn't feel sticky. Sometimes you get lucky with a cotton-poly blend that works well...or maybe it's when it's rayon or something other than polyester.

Is there a similar web site in Canada? No reason not to take this global unless there are upfront fees associated.

Mugs and t-shirts pretty much limited to USA. Probably only honourable members who are rich audiophiles would pay [courier] shipping for mugs, like 4-5x the price of the mug.
T-shirts, quite typically the calculation starts with the 20% or 40% import tax on clothing, then the VAT.

High-quality stickers, maybe various sizes, for laptops, monitors,...maybe smaller, cheaper, paper-based stickers for sticking in other places..."sticker-bombing"... probably good to fit the basic URL on it.

ASR.. of sound mind!

An 'Auditioning CD/download' of Amir's tracks he uses for subjective evaluation, each preceded by Amir's comment why selected, and what to listen for.

Sections for Headphones, Stereo Music, and HT speaker setups

Download available for modest ASR contribution.. like PBS station fundraising

Teespring does ship internationally but of course charges extra:

That's for the first item. The next one is cheaper.

They have international fulfillment but I am not sure what all is involved in setting that up.

Coffe mugs and mouse pads (in different sizes) .

Tag lines and slogans can be a bit cheesy on clothes . And hard to come up with a good one (all the ones big corporation uses suck and they pay ad people to come up with them ).

But id do like the one Don Lincoln uses in Fermilabs science videos about physics "Physics is everything" it's unbeatable and cheesy

I would buy an ASR multimeter hahahaha.

Hello you all. For a while I have been needing to have a sticker to send to members that send gear in for testing. Something like "ASR Tested." I also thought it would be cool to have some merchandize with our logo and such on them. I had my wife embroider a couple of my sweaters with our logo and has been nice as a way of identification.

I thought I get ideas on what all you want to see as far as such things. Do you want mugs, T-shirts, stickers, etc.? I don't want to go overboard here but thought for those interested, we should have something.

I also am looking for a cute tag line to go under the logo maybe. Something like, "negative feedback is good feedback!" So go ahead and suggest things but know that I own the rights to use them afterward.

"negative feedback is good feedback"

No comment.

Imagine you wear the ASR polo and the ASR sweat and then you go in an audio shop where they sell hifi routers and usb audiophile cables...

Anyway, I want some mugs for coffee when @daftcombo and @VintageFlanker will come home to listen the Gustard X16. It means we have plenty of time before the X16 arrive.

Sounds like a immediate cold shoulder or a, "What do you want?" moment.

Or, "Ha yes, we have mugs!"

 

[LostOne___]

Something like a mug that has on it a meme, like "This mug's futuristic ceramic material improves by X% the taste of the coffee in it, just like audio cables"...

I know, it could use some work, but it's an idea
