New LLB Bumper Stickers

[Belle]

Loopies Y Lonelies... I just got permission from Mr. W himself to print new bumper stickers. Here is the design:

http://pages.prodigy.net/chowchx/_uimages/bumper1.jpg


After spending the afternoon price shopping, I've found the best prices listed below. The more we order, the cheaper each sticker costs, so we need LOTS of us. (I'll see if the Store is interested, too.)

.....qty ... total ... each

1 .... 4.99 .. 4.99
2 .... 7.98 .. 3.99
5 ....18.95 .. 3.79
10 ...26.90 ..2.69
25 ...44.75 ..1.79
50 ...64.50.. 1.29
100.. 89.00... .89
250 167.50 ... .67


These are 10" x 3" and "are made of matte laminated self-adhesive vinyl material for long term car decoration use." We can use these on our own vehicles, give them as gifts, or use them for swag.

Besides the cost of the stickers themselves, I'll have to add postage and (if applicable) Paypal fees (which should be minimal). Please add to this thread how many stickers you'd be interested in. I'll collect orders for at least a month, to give folks plenty of time to decide before I begin the printing process.

Let me know if you have any questions. Oh, and they have magnetic stickers as well, but they are a lot higher. However, I can order them if anyone wants them.

Orale!

Sorry, belle, I just can't right now. I just committed to buying the LLB medallions from Laurieboop, so I'd love to , but I just can't. Good Luck,they are nice.

[Belle]

Rosie - I understand. But, remember, there's no rush. I won't place an order for at least a month. ;)

At someone else's request, I looked into window clings. There is a minimum order (usually at 250) and, for two colors (red and blue), they'd be $2.78 each ($347.50 plus setup for one minimum order).

[mamacitaRuth]

I think you should turn them over to Ian or the marketing team and see if they want to put them in the La Onda store (the fans' designs). That way they can take care of finding the best prices for volume and making them available to all of us.

[Belle]

Ruth, I'm responding to interest a few months ago for new bumper stickers. I plan on contacting the store, so these will be available to everyone. Those who want to go in on the original order can do so, too. It's similar to what you're doing on the blue "Forgiven" bracelets, only the bumper stickers will be done later.

Uh, not quite. The bracelets are totally just for swag. These sound like more for personal use?

[Belle]

Hey, Ruth! They could easily be used for swag and/or gifts to promote the Boys. :)

Let's imagine (for illustration) that ten of us want ten bumper stickers each (100 stickers in all - I need the math to be easy :rolleyes: ). That means they'll cost each Loopie $8.90 (at the 100 price break). I go to a show in TX, someone in NM, someone else in CA, etc. etc. When we find someone at a show excited about LLB, we ask if they would like a bumper sticker for their car (not everyone will want one).

When someone says 'yes', they get the sticker and put it on their vehicle. They drive to work and park; they go to the store and park; they stop at red lights, and ALL the people around them will see the big LLB sticker. That's 100 new people advertising to who knows how many others?

That's a lot of bang for the advertising buck at 89 cents per sticker. I'm not sure the LLB store could sell them as cheaply as the printer because they have their own costs to recoup. So, if folks here at Crossroads want to order in quantity, now would be the ideal time to take a head count.

If no one's interested, that's fine, too. Just trying to be of some use. :)

[Belle]

We've got an order for 20 so far. :cool:

[NaNeeBee]

I want to order some. Will my total be added to everyone else's total? I mean, if you get a total ordered of 100, and I ordered 50 of those, would I get them at the 100 order cost of .89? Does that sense make? :confused: :p

Yes, you're right. I'll pool together everyone's order and order the stickers all in one go. That way, we all get the price break. So, if together, we reach the 100 mark, and you only order 10, you'll still only pay .89 per sticker.

I'll pay the printers for the entire order, y'all pay me for your part. The order gets sent to me. I divide it up and send your order to you.

Clear as mud, right? :D

[mmluvstheboys]

Thanks Belle for the reminder. I don't check out this thread much.

Yes - I would like to order 10 bumper stickers. Let me know how much I will owe, including shipping, etc.

WIll let other Local No. Cal members know, in case they are interested.

Hi Belle,

I'd like to order 10 bumper stickers.

Thanks for getting these going!! :D

[Belle]

ALRIGHT!! We're up to 40 so far. :D

[NaNeeBee]

I want to order some of them. I'll PM you. If it will work... :)

[Belle]

ALRIGHT!! We're up to 40 so far...

Make that 90!

[Amor]

Hey Belle, I will order 10 myself - so what does that make now? LOL :D

[Belle]

Um...um...zero plus zero...carry the naught...

:p

[Belle]

We're up to 120! :cool:


...130

[cherienjim]

Belle,
I'd like to order 5 bumper stickers. Let me know the total cost and I can pay asap. thanx, cherienjim :) :cool:

[Belle]

Okay, ma'am. I've got you down for 5. I won't know the price until we get everyone's order. (If we happen to reach 250, they will be cheaper.) I'm waiting a week or two to give everyone time.

So, 135...and counting. :D

[llbheaven]

Belle--please put me down for 25. I can pay you by PayPal--pls let me know the total.

[Belle]

Okay - 25 it is.

We're up to 160 so far. :cool:

[crazy4LLB]

Belle, Please put me down for 5 :)

[Belle]

Gotcha! We're up to 170 now.

[Belle]

I'll leave the order open until next Monday (Aug.4), then I'll send the artwork to the printers and send payment information to everyone who wants some bumper stickers. That way, you should have plenty of stickers for upcoming concert swag. :D

What's your "per unit" cost down to now?

[Belle]

If and until we hit 250, the cost is .89. After 250 it's .67.

[Belle]

It might help if I listed whose orders I have so far. If you want some and your name's not here, please let me know.

I see you mentioned 'window clings' also, I made some as swag to hand out at the JK show, Greek, and Alpine...(bought the special paper and printed them out on my inkjet). They aren't cheap to make, that's for sure.....I'm making more to take to Palm Desert, also to send some to LLBeagle (NoCal Onda) so she can hand them out as she 'flies...flies...flies... to the East Coast shows....

[Belle]

Ok, thanks! That brings us to 225. Just 25 more and we get another price break. :D

FYI - I placed the order today for 250. We were so close, I made up the difference. With their freight and printing, each sticker cost 75 cents. If anyone wants some of these for upcoming shows, there are a few available. Just pm me.

I'll send out invoices to everyone as soon as I get the bumper stickers here and can figure out postage. You should hear from me hopefully by next weekend (if not sooner).

If your name is listed below, please pm me your e-mail address. Thanks!

Belle, I'll take 20 if you have them.

[Belle]

Bela - I have 20 for you. Plus someone else wants some, so I only have 2 extra.

Anyone want 2?

[Belle]

Okay, gang, we're out. They're all spoken for. Thanks for the GREAT response. :D

[mmluvstheboys]

Belle

Thanks for the updates and putting in the order for all of us.
Lots of time and work, much appreciated.

Looking forward to the Bumper Stickers. :) :cool:

Margie

[AustinStratFan]

Belle -

Really good work!

Kudos to you!

[Belle]

Thanks, Mark. But, it's really kudos to the people here. Collectively, we can make things happen!

(I'm anxious now to get the bumper stickers here and out to everyone!) :D

[Los Lonely Girl]

woohoo!! or should that be yahooooooo?

belle, you can stick the 2 stray ones onto my order unless someone else desperately wants them.

i'm eager to see carollg's clings. i'll be in palm desert for that show. row L!!! where will you be?

[Los Lonely Girl]

hey y'all. i've got a photoshop class i'm taking this semester when school starts up again. i'm thinking that for one of my projects i will design something for LLB swag or fan exclusive. there are a lot of cool things people have made out there. i hope i can come up with a good idea.

[Belle]

belle, you can stick the 2 stray ones onto my order unless someone else desperately wants them.

I'd be happy to, if I could. They were snatched up immediately. :o :D

I'm sure you'll come up with a great idea for your LLB swag. Creativity seems to be infectious around here. Have fun learning!

[Los Lonely Girl]

yes, there are a lot of creative people here. i absolutely loved the pictures of the earrings. WOW!!! gorgeous! :D

i hope i can be so good myself!

[Belle]

The bumper stickers arrived this afternoon (Monday). I'll spend this evening figuring out postage and getting PayPal invoices ready.

The stickers look great! I think you'll be proud of them. :D

[Belle]

Thank you very much to those who've already sent me funds for the bumper stickers. I was getting them ready to mail and realized I'm out of stamps. :eek: So, instead of getting them in the mailbox in the morning, it'll be a few days until I can get to the PO. I'll keep you all 'posted'.

*ducking flying shoes* :o

[Los Lonely Girl]

belle,

i can't wait to see them!

i thought about this as i was doing the paypal thing: do you have my mailing address? or should i pm it to you?

[Belle]

I got your address, so it's all good.

[RachelinAZ]

Belle, can you PM me once again w/your addy and my total? :o I can't even remember which address I gave you. If you had more then 2, I'd snag them and slap them on my family's rigs :D but since I think I just got 2, they will go on mine and Darren's cars :)
I have some stuff for Jeanette's niece from Alaska, I need to mail this week, so it will go out... I can't/shouldn't drive since having the seizure last week, so I am at the mercy of others :mad: :(

Thanks!!
PS if Mark reads this thread, I think I owe you some fundage too... forgive me, I can't remember now how much or where to send it to. I wonder if I can get my paypal to work...

[cmedina]

Can't wait to see them Belle!
Thank you :D

[Belle]

I'm mailing the stickers Thurs. to the following:

Whenever you get the stickers, I'd appreciate a pm, so I'll know they arrived 'alive'. :D

[RachelinAZ]

Belle: I have the $ ready to go, even addressed :eek: but I am no longer able to drive, due to my seizure, my license has been temp revoked until the meds are in my system... :o So as soon as I get to the PO... it will be off to you.

[Los Lonely Girl]

yahoo, belle!! can't wait to get them in my hands!!

[cmedina]

They sure are pretty! :cool:

Thanks Belle!

[Los Lonely Girl]

[AustinStratFan]

Um, I don't remember that you owe me anything at present... (crosseyed smiley...)

[llbheaven]

Got mine a few days ago--thanks Belle!

[letsgetlonelyin]

Got Mine

Thanks!

[Amor]

Belle, I got mine a week ago - thank you so much. I have been out of town at a big conference, so I was not able to let you know sooner.

They look awesome - thanks.

[mmluvstheboys]

Belle:

Thanks so much for doing this. I got my bumper stickers just yesterday;
Went right out - washed down my car bumper and slapped on the new
bumper sticker . Today, a few horns honked - and got thumbs up for
my bumper sticker. It really stands out.\
Luv it. Thanks again.

[Belle]

[mmluvstheboys]

Margie - you put a HUGE smile on my face. Thanks for telling us. :cool:

Belle: Glad I put a smile on your face - :D Most of my friends laugh at me, as old as I am and still rocking out. I just luv music.
FORGOT to mention - I had Los Lonely Boys new CD playing while I was driving thru town - with my new bumper sticker.

Thanks again, keep smiling ..
