Re: [stan-users] Stan Shop update

[Bob Carpenter]

[moved to stan-dev]

Too many decisions. Do we include Stan, mc-stan.org, or
nothing? What size is it? Transparent or not? Which of
the umpteen graphics formats to include? How fat is the white
border if not transparent?

Or do we just offer them all and let users pick?

Feel free to set it up yourself if you have time. I hate
hate hate managing these things because I'm terrible at it and
lose half a day no matter how simple someone tells me the web
site is. And this one looks pretty simple.

It seems most of the stickers that I've seen are die-cut and start with 2x2 size. Maybe do 2x2 for the version die cup for the logo ( https://github.com/stan-dev/logos/blob/master/logo.svg ). And a 2 x 3 or something for a version with the name ( https://github.com/stan-dev/logos/blob/master/logo_name.svg ).  Next time there's a big talk, order some as swag to give away: people love stickers. And non-zero stickers is greater than zero stickers.

I think a giant Stan wall graphic for the office wins: https://www.stickermule.com/products/wall-graphics.

I don’t have the spare cash to buy the minimum order (around $60) but I can make

the account if someone wants to sponsor a purchase for JSM.

[Michael Betancourt]

Also, the laptop skins, https://www.stickermule.com/products/laptop-skins, are really temping,

especially with the logo in front of the ensemble trajectory.

[Bob Carpenter]

Too late. I ordered 100 3" x 3" (will be 2.5" x 3" or so after die-cutting)
from StickerMule. If they're decent, we can set up a shop through StickerMule.

And I chose the mc-stan.org version, since that's what we went with
for t-shirts. After I see how these look (I hope to get them in time
to pass out at the Ann Arbor meetup), I can decide what to do next.

They're pretty cheap if you order in bulk.

[Bob Carpenter]

You have to send them e-mail to sell things that you don't buy.

I'm not a laptop skin sort of guy, but I can see the appeal.

When's the Ann arbor meet up? I'll be at the machine learning meet up in nyc on August 20. I can order a bunch too if they're good.

[Michael Betancourt]

But how will people know we’re on the Stan team if it’s
not blazingly advertised on our laptops?

[Daniel Lee]

Moar stickers.

[Michael Betancourt]

Well, I'll reiterate that if there’s funding I think

there’s enough time to get stickers to the

west coast in time for JSM...

[Bob Carpenter]

Next Wednesday. StickerMule says they shipped already, so
I should have them for the talk.

- Bob

[Bob Carpenter]

I just bought them myself. I'm happy to pay for ones for you
for the West Coast if it's under $100.

Then we need to figure out how to buy them in bulk (where
they'll be much cheaper than $0.60 each). I don't feel like
shelling out $1000 out of pocket to order 1000 each of 3
different kinds of stickers.
