New - T-shirts for Pet Talkers!

[Karen]

We have been requested many times to have merchandise available. We are starting with a baby step with hooded sweatshirts from a place called Teespring.com. It is a fundraiser, but also an opportunity for you to get something cozy in return.

You can check them out, we did one for each of the websites:

What do you all think? Should we add a t-shirt option? Perhaps a "ladies T" would be appropriate? Or do you prefer non-gender-specific ones (not as fitted)? If we opt to do T-shirts, what color would you prefer?

Shipping will probably only be reasonable for people in the US. It is a Rhode Island-based company, so you be "shopping locally"- okay, local to our Northeast Pet Talkers at least!

The Teespring.com concept is to combine a bunch of orders into one print run, to reduce costs so they are not prohibitively expensive. These offers (on the linked pages) are good until Monday, so if you want to buy one, do it soon!

Any feedback would be great!

I've bought a few t shirts from Teespring, no problems. I'd like to have a t shirt.

Tried to order but couldn't see my province/country of Canada.

So the hoodies only come in black? I'd prefer a different color. If you make t-shirts, I would buy at least one.

[Karen]

What color hoodie would you prefer, and what color t-shirts if that happens?

[Karen]

Slick - we tried it, and now it shows all the Canadian provinces! We even checked for British Columbia and it is there now!
Once I selected Canada, then I saw BC on the list, so hopefully you can see it now, too!

What different color would you prefer? We can add that!

I'm not a big fan of hoodies, unless they are zip front. Tees are doable - any color but white.

Same with me, hoodies must zip. Any color t shirt but white, good with me!

So for those who say "any color but white" - for a T-shirt would you prefer grey, black, dark blue, light blue, dark red, gold, green ...

You can eliminate black, grey, and gold from that list for me. How about purple???? YEAH!!!!!

Well - black or grey might be "iffy" if one of those was the only color available. But gold is a DEFINITE no.

Well for the hoodies, white, green, red, blue, purple or a lavender color. My favorite color is purple but I also like the lighter tones of it too. T-shirts could be white, green, red, blue, purple.

Things like this should give people a touch more time. It's awfully short lead time.

The way "campaigns" work with Teespring, we had to choose a number of days, but we can restart the campaign once this one is "over" ... we wanted to see how it would go, since we have never done anything like this before!

To those who prefer T-shirts - do you like a "ladies' cut" T-shirt or the normal T-shirts?
