Just remembered - we have to recover our costs. Nobody's going to pay for a
pen or Post-it note.
So guess I'm open to suggestions beyond the T-shirts.

Hi Tony--
I'm interested in starting up some merchandise sales for the Evergreen
project. We'd love to have some things to sell in time for our April
conference (April 10-13). I was thinking T-shirts, pens, post-it notes to
start, but I'm open to other ideas. I have no idea as to how much money
we'd need to get a good base of merch for sale for this initial wave and I'd
need some help with that. I'm also looking for some good companies to
produce these - I want quality at a reasonable price. (Doesn't everybody?)
Thanks for getting this list going. It's coming at a really good time for
us!
Amy

Hi, all:
I know that several projects have expressed an interest in discussing issues
relating to merchandising: strategies and best practices, vendor
recommendations, design feedback, etc. I hope this list can become a
central place for participants in Conservancy member projects to share ideas
and ask questions; that way, Bradley and I can determine how Conservancy can
best help you achieve your goals.
So, with that: what would you like to see your project do? And, how can
Conservancy help?
Best,
-Tony
