Title: Merchandise
Post by: Bish on July 31, 2014, 05:28:38 PM: I was playing on another server not too long ago and was looking through their donation tab just to see what they do... and I stumbled across a tab labeled "Merchandise" and I looked into it and found hats, mugs, shirts and other things with the community's logo and name on it... I don't know how you could do it, but I would love to some time buy a hat with HRP stamped on it with the picture of the harbor...

Thoughts?

It's one thing to be selling merchandise, but you have to make that merchandise first, and that costs. If no one is buying it, then congratulations you just spent $100+ on a bunch of mugs, hats, and t-shirts with logos that no one outside of the community would recognize.

Simple way around that... pre-ordering. I'm not aloud to post the community name/link to show you what they are and all... but I can say that they are a PERP server community that I've just recently started playing on. They may have a sponsor by NIKE... because some of their stuff is NIKE

You can just upload your logo and people can buy stuff for on-demand printing. Wiremod had one somewhere...
