PRFC T-Shirt Order

[la...@laceyakins.com]

Let's talk T-shirts

My thought is why don't we sell them? Or at least try to, to our email list.  We could give members a discount.  This is still a half baked idea though so I look forward to hearing from others. 

Cristy, What is the timeline on everything for the T-shirts? Could you recap where you are at and if you need any help?

How much time do we have to potentially sell these and place our final T-shirt order?

If its just too much for us to put together maybe we can just tuck this idea away and do it another time.

We want to get an invoice by end of next week.  It is just a question of how many do we want to order and how many do we want to stock.  Only issue with T-shirts is sizes - we could have people wanting shirts, and all we have is the wrong size.  Great idea on asking for orders - I would send out an e-mail specifically to this.  I wouldn't worry about making much profit, but we do want to cover costs.  So $10 or $12 per shirt (?)  Question for Sensations is what kind of breaks for quantities so we order what people want, and then if we get orders, we can order more.  I would suggest the following:

Get everyone that wants one and work up order - I would offer for free for board & steering committee members.

Pick most popular sizes for M/W, and then order 3 for stock.  So order might be around 40-50 shirts, which hopefully will get a discount.  Then if we need some size we don't have, do another order to refresh stock.  Also, who will "stock" shirts?

Can we send an email like in the same format as the voting email? That way people just click an option.  Also another good way of seeing who is looking at emails.  Are we still looking at sending this out in the next day or two? Thanks

You could create a google form and post here, and also email.  But in order to see who is seeing it, we would have to do MailChimp...unless you know something I don't. I sent a reminder for people to join. Hopefully we can get some more input soon. 

Right now I think we should place an order so that we can maximize the grant funds.  Lets put the sales on hold until we get through this deadline.  But then yes, I think we should try and sell off the extras we ordered, and we can re-order for any additional we need.

I believe  we are waiting for approval of art as previously submitted. Also colors. I don't really have authority to order, but will if you give OK. Let me know:

T-shirt color and style

# of Men's and sizes of each

# of Women's and sizes of each

The estimate, art and link to styles is in the other group I think. I'll get used to this new one just haven't had time to navigate around. No price break till you get into hundreds.
