Please excuse me if these are already available and I just couldn't
find them on the website. But if they're not, I was thinking that the
Juvenation logo is very nice and would be very nice on a T-shirt.
Perhaps the shirt could have a tag line like "Type 1's are the the
sweetest people on earth." or perhaps there are some other
suggestions. We could buy and sell them online (for a reasonable
price) and give all the proceeds to guess what. Perhaps we could even
find a T-Shirt manufacturer to donate the T-Shirts.
I was actually thinking about that the other day. It would be a good way to raise money and an even better way to spread the word even more about juvenation. I think that it would be a great idea to do.
I think it should include the web address, although unfortunately the web address doesn't provide any real clues as to what Juvenation is about. We'll just have to be prepared with a good answer for anyone who gets curious. It's not clear to me what is the logo. Am I correct in assuming the logo is what appears in the upper left corner of every web page, including the line "A Type 1 Diabetes community created by JDRF" ?
As far as the price I'd say (at the risk of sounding cheap, lol) $10 or $15 at the most. Here's my theory, if I wanted to spend $40 total I would get 4 shirts @ 10 each. If I spent $ 40 I would only be able to buy 2 shirts @ $20 each. You'll likely sell more at a lesser price, especially in our current economic situation. Just my opinion.
I have a collection of bicycle t-shirts that goes back 25 years. Right now I'm wearing "El Tour de Tucson November 17, 1984". Nearly all of my shirts have designs on both front and back. A couple of them also have designs on the sleeves. I suspect that multiple colors tend to increase the cost. I'm not a designer, just a collector. I'd be happy with Paul's initial design.
We can also do something to encourage people to buy more. Like for instance, we can offer 1 for $20, 2 for $37.50, 3 for $35, and 4 for $40. I believe that the Juvenation membership as a whole will feel even more connected by doing something together to make a real difference. In order to get all this going, Juvenation would have to set-up an e-commerce page in order to take orders and accept credit cards. Then you need a fullfillment operation to process and ship the orders out. It's done all the time, but it has to be set up.
I would also maybe put something like...... A online community site for Type 1 diabetics. That way people would be able to know what our site is about. As for price I think 10-15 dollars would be a good price. This would depend on where we could get the shirts and how much it would cost to them printed on. This is a great idea.
Since the shirts are for juvenation we can have logo on the front and the website and the slogan on the back A type 1 community created by JDRF www.juvenation.org
