looking like coffee mugs is the chosen stuff.

here is a list of suppliers that im comming up with, dont wanna put them in the open forums due to irrelavent discussion and not wanting people to see the markup that ill be putting on them.

Also will need to come up with a decent logo to put on them.

 - quote has been asked for for 20-30 mugs.

they are looking at the most promising at the moment.

Baised on getting a £7 mug i suggest charging something between £9 and £10 for the mug to make it worthwhile exercise getting the mugs

£2 profit on 25 mugs comes to a profit of £50 to server fund so would be worth it.

Nice but I'm not sure it isn't a little pricey at a tenner a pop.

I'll have a look to see if we can source them a little bit cheaper. I guess we also don't need full colour origination costs as chances are we'll just go logo??

[Armitage]

tenner for a cup seems a lot. what about mouse mats. If they were good quality they should go down a storm.

Wot 'e said.

[sheepy]

this is the problem with small batch runs,

they are high cost.

The prices dont really change if you move away from the photo style of printing on to mugs as the numbers required move up to more like 100+ minimum

I personally doubt that there would be significant intresting in mouse mats as i think they are a very personal thing, for example i couldnt be persuaded away from my everglide unless something was a lot better.

for a simple "cloth type" mat ie the type we have seen with company logos on them i think will be a large order minimum quantity. but it cant hurt to have a look

Well, if we come up with a good design maybe it would be ok to make dMw coffee cups that could be sold at more than just one LAN? Maybe also through the forum?

anyone had any brainwaves over this as i think the order size is going to b far to high to make it viable

dMw logo on USB flashdrive - useful at all capacities.

[sheepy]

only thing with these again is the order quantity. for personalised ones its not a small order number for a good price and people that need them alreay tend to have them.

i think ive looked in to it in the past but if u can suggest a supplier we could have a look at it

[Dr Sadako]

I think a dMw USB memory/drive could be a good thing actually. I would consider to buy one even if I am not going to the LAN.
