Vote for the IndiaMike TShirt Slogan.

Bigzero · Feb 21st, 2007, 12:42

I liked the 15000 Gurus line. Can be interpreted in multiple ways..

Vasko · Feb 21st, 2007, 14:05

Ok, is the slogan supposed to be:

a) a witty one for the enjoyment of members who already know something about India

or

b) a general introduction to the site, with no sharp edge to it?

I definitely prefer option a). I wouldn't wear a shirt with the boring "passage"-line on it.

I get the feeling, nadreg, you will have to start another poll! So many new suggestions, and many didn't know they have multiple choice.

And why not? Voting is fun!

dhans · Feb 21st, 2007, 15:20

There are onl;ine T-shirt shops that do printing on demand. Everyone could make there own byline under the general logo......

Whatever you do, can you please make sure it is a Screen-printed cotton t-shirt? so many shirts here in India are that plastic decal stuff that comes off in the wash. For some reason, Sri Lanka and Nepal have far superior screened t-shirts to India's (? puzzling).

Definitely, IMHO. To say it another way, are we trolling for newbies or appealing to those already In the In(dia) club? A witty insider line would attract new people anyway, if that is the goal (hmm, what is that all about??).

Well, 10% is about 1,600 people. And polls rarely generate that type of traffic.

Besides, voter apathy in general is widespread these days. IndiaMike is no different.

Yes, I might need to!!! That would be the third time I'm restarting the poll. But, as long as people are having fun, so be it!

Am I wrong or is Nadreg located in the US? Then the quality should be better ... or maybe they only have 'Made in China' nowadays?

I am located in the US. Although most of the items here are made in China anyway...

Namaste,
15,000 gurus can't be wrong (again)is my vote

I suggest that the(admin's) look at the site and check out what we could have in product line from Pens

(one pen,please), cups, hats shirts, sweatshirts,etc.

I am not involved with this site,in any way but use it to buy stuff from others sites. http://www.cafepress.com/

If the admins got together they could open a shop on cafe press in which there could be multiple slogans and types of shirts or other products with IM logo(s)on them

The quality of shirts is good and choice also great. This could get our URL out there with out any hassle on anyone's part(which is the purpose of the shirts, is this right)

Just check them out as a possible solution that might work for us. Any feedback from the admin's

There are two levels of shops basic and premium. There is no real start up cost BUT There is monthly cost under $10 USD per month, but it could be what we want. All the logos we want and a variety of products

Shop would be on IM site. When this came up with a different organization I said this sucks, but once I looked around and saw benefits and started finding other sites that were using it, I realized that There is no start up cost, would not have money invested in unsold stock, no shipping and handeling worries, etc

Just a friendly suggestion. Feedback Please

Peace, gregor

noflylist · Feb 22nd, 2007, 07:25

cafepress makes the process easy on admin, but what about our members in India? Will it work for them?

gregornot · Feb 22nd, 2007, 08:30

Namaste,
I am in touch with cafe press about shipments to India, will let the forum, what I learn as soon as possible
peace, gregornot

gregornot · Feb 22nd, 2007, 09:17

Namaste,
While waiting for cafe press to answer about global sales I found this cafe press page

http://www.cafepress.com/hantranslation/625150

Local Design, International Sales:
Tips For Using Your CafePress Shop To Sell Globally

so it appears that they do sell internationally, so I imagine that they do ship international

But will keep you posted, we may need someone to translate to common India languages, but why not give it a shot if they ship internationally with reasonable prices?

Still waiting for direct answer from cafe press. It is 8:45 MST in the US so it is outside their regular business hours

This is quoted from the above page " Cultural differences are a bid deal. So big, in fact, that most global companies create separate web sites targeted for different cultures. Han Translation (http://www.hantranslation.com) uses a unified web site design, but gives customers the option of selecting pages in English, Japanese, or Mandarin Chinese."

peace. gregor
