I'm splitting this topic off from the WCHA and Adirondack Canoe Symposium thread to explore interest in and implementation of the subject of creating some CanoeTripping.net merchandise.
Did we make and offer them once? I vaguely recall Robin or some prior administrator arranging for shirts or bumper stickers or something. Was the effort successful?
Pseudonym, does your sailing club (i.e., us) get a cut of the merchandise sales or does all the revenue got to Bonfire, if you know or can find out?
Any thoughts, advice, experience or discussion about this idea—positive, negative or uninterested—would be of value. I'm not really that much interested in the site getting a cut of the revenue, as I believe we can survive just fine with fund raisers every two years or so. I'd rather have the price be as low as possible so that purchases wouldn't detract or subtract from our fund raisers.
As another thought, maybe we could think of a product that would be more useful or desirable than the common t-shirts and hats.
I’ll wear my CT.net tee shirt.

There is a company called bonfire that makes custom merchandise easier because they'll host your design and then members buy the apparel direct from bonfire, one-off. Upload the designs and then you're done because members can buy direct: no shipping and $ exchange hassles at all. Someone in my sailing club set it up and it worked great for us
