Title: Keyrings, all this talk and no doing...I'll change that!
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 25 March 2010, 00:28
I've decided to make it my mission to make it happen if it can be done at a viable cost and plenty of people get involved.

Now to begin with, how about something like this:

(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/5511/keyringg.jpg)


Would people buy it? The logo would be engraved. Prices I'm not 100% sure on right now but looking in the ballpark of £5-7 delivered right now, but this is entirely dependent on quantities we can shift. I will contact the company tomorrow and see what can be done, as always with things like this there are set up costs, so that'll be factored into the cost too.

Let me know if you're interested. :afro:

they were the ones i have been looking at.

no offence but i would like to reign this in slightly and run it as a shop item.

unless you were really planning on taking 100 orders up front?

put me down for 1 of these , they could also turn out to be handy if you were to ever lose ur keys also as hopefully if some1 found them they would come on to the website and post they had found keys? obviously if they were good citizens  :smiley:

The plan is to get at least 100 sold, and then I'll talk to the company and see if there could be a permanant discount or something available so they can be sold in the shop. Would you like me to run things by you jv?

Post by: jv on 25 March 2010, 12:47
you will never get 100 orders up front. the supplier will only ever deal in bulk orders which for these items is a minimum of 100. that's not 100, then a few more, that's 100, then if you want more after that, order another 100.

to do this, it would have to be in the style of the polo shirts, plate frames etc where i buy them in bulk up front and then take a couple of years to sell them.

thanks for your offer of help but i am happy to run this :)

Okay then matey, I'll leave you to it, didn't realise you had something in the pipeline :tongue: I'm sure however if you buy in bulk that people will buy them pretty quick. 100 will go easy. I'll take one. :wink:

this is a typical example of offering too much choice to the consumer and then having too many opinions flying left right and centre...  should have been run past JV without question. if this item was just featured in the shop, by JV, then no one would have worried about influencing design styles or raising expectations

vendor could not deliver on the ones that shady posted (which were also the ones i had already got a quote on). slightly different ones ordered, should be here in 2 weeks or so. will get details up asap, other logo bits also ordered, so will be a right old golfgti.co.uk brandingfest!
