Re: Free T-Shirts, Tell Your Friends
Maybe you can work with CFI on a joint .com/.org shirt and sell in on both sites. I'm sure that would have a lot of buyers.
There's more to life than 14ers. There are 13ers.

Re: Free T-Shirts, Tell Your Friends
Hi Bill, thanks for turning on the store! Just got the peak-list T-shirt. I've been wanting one of those for a while!BillMiddlebrook wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 5:31 pm We caught dinner!
While enjoying the peace and quiet on Turquoise Lake, Lisa and I had yet another discussion about resurrecting the 14ers.com store to pay for the site. It's a bit of a pain-in-the-ass but the gear link stuff really has gone in the crapper, especially after we dropped bc.com. We decided the store is the best way to pay for the site but we really have to come up with a new t-shirt design.
I don't know much about it, but have you considered drop-shipping? I doubt people would care if the shirts ship from somewhere else, so I wonder if it's possible to set up a print-and-ship-on-demand service through a third party? It might cut down on the legwork involved anyway, but like I say, I'm no expert on these matters.

Re: Free T-Shirts, Tell Your Friends
While we work on that, I've turned the store on (click the SWAP/SHOP menu above and select "14ers.com Store") for those of you who want one of our existing shirts. It's ski season so please don't expect next day shipping since I'll only be able to ship shirts once or twice a week.
Cheers!

In for a t-shirt, stickers and a donation. Thanks again for all you do to keep this site going.
If you ramp up the store again, how difficult would it be to have a donation option at check out?

Re: Free T-Shirts, Tell Your Friends
I have a few 14ers shirts from several years ago and they're great. Will definitely keep my eyes open for 13ers shirts. In the meantime, it appears the donation option still works if you click on "MORE..." then "Support 14ers.com".

Re: Free T-Shirts, Tell Your Friends

And this site is great by the way... thank you!

Re: Free T-Shirts, Tell Your Friends
Gonna snag a couple of shirts from the store ... but to affirm what you're saying about the importance of shirt design.... from being in a rock band for many years, we learned the hard lesson that people buy shirts because of the coolness / look and design of the shirt. For the most part, the band name itself (except for hard core fans or if the writing of the band name itself is 'cool') really doesn't even matter... if the shirt looks bad ass, people will be interested and vice versa if not.BillMiddlebrook wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 5:31 pm We decided the store is the best way to pay for the site but we really have to come up with a new t-shirt design.

Re: Free T-Shirts, Tell Your Friends
Thanks for doing this Bill! I'll definitely order one! It would be really cool to have a hat too! Maybe a trucker style hat with a picture of Cap or the Bells and a small logo like you have at the top of this site would be cool!BillMiddlebrook wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 5:31 pm We caught dinner!

Definitely need a new design for T-shirts, because now all T-shirts are almost the same

Re: Free T-Shirts, Tell Your Friends
Bill,
I will highly recommend some cool trucker hats that can be used outdoors, also 14ers.com buff? Both are used heavily by peak baggers and I am sure will get some revenue your way.
