What if there was an LPSG Official Member t-shirt. Would you buy it?
As this site continues to grow, it continues to cost more money to operate. I currently have tens of thousands of dollars invested in equipment and bandwidth, in adddition to the cost of the website itself.
I've worked hard to keep this a free site, for the most part. The Gold Membership option really only benefits those who make use of the gallery (also those using the most bandwidth), but many upgrade to Gold Membership simply to support the site.
I know that many of you find this site valuable, and would support the site if asked to do so.
The idea that I had was to have a t-shirt made that could be sold to members and/or given to those who upgrade to Gold Membership, or discounted... or something.
Anyway, I was thinking of a simple design, but something that folks would actuall wear. Maybe two shirts, one that is for Official Members, and another for Official Supporters.
Wouldn't it be cool if you were walking down the street and saw someone wearing an LPSG shirt?
Around 15,000 to 20,000 different people visit this site every day. The majority just read and/or look at the photos. Whereas only a few hundred contribute the majority of the site's written content. Perhaps a t-shirt promotion would be a way for the "lurkers" to give back to the site, and also get something in return.
The shirts cost $10-$15 for good quality, and I figured on a price of $20-$30, and, as mentioned above, perhaps a way to work it in with Gold Membership.
Anyway, attached is a photo of what I'm talking about. Please provide some feedback, criticism, etc.
Thanks,
Rob
