Heeey everyone :D

so this is basically a topic of which i want everyone to read and if you can, comment with an opinion or suggestion as it would really help :D
as you all know, i recently spent 6 days with GraphicForce, we got onto the topic of Pandora website and the idea of setting up some Pandora merchandise. i, myself is very interested in helping out with this part, with the designs and ideas of merchandise to sell to all you guys. however basically the thing is, it would be alot more helpful if every single one of you had a say in this and was able to make a suggestion in to what you suggest we could sell.

if you like the idea of Pandora having its own merchandise like this post and leave a comment below saying any suggestions as to what you would be interested in buying? what we could do to promote it and sell the products and any questions you may have about the whole merchandise scheme :D

so far im all up to designing and making designs to be printed on t-shirts, badges pretty much anything along those lines, but at the end of the day its you as the community which has the say and have your opinions taken further and developed on :D

so get commenting with suggestions :D every suggestion/questions/opinion will be read and replied to either by myself or an admin :D

thank you :D

I'd honestly like a coffee mug of sorts, because I never really use T-shirts. I suggest coffee mugs! :D

Oh, I just had the idea of Battleable Trading cards, with M16 and the Kit.chen sellers on one side and Gforce and such on the other. How about that?

plus with hoodies/tops ect, i was thinking either you having the option to have your signature printed along with the quote 'pandora gaming network' added on there, or simply requesting a design and if needed to, i could draw/doodle a few designs up for you to suggest/agree or even tell me what to add/take away :) so its your own unique and personal clothing :) (one of a kind :O) plus who wouldnt want to promote and wear something which has pandora gaming network on it ;)

hello walking talking advert :3

That seems like a good idea. We could also do some sort of thing like that except we can buy the shirt of someone we idolize, or we could each have special T-shirt designs that are different from our signatures, but still capture our essences. These we could have as a sort of extra stock, as a type of template to show non-pandorians that you can have your very own T-shirt design, look at these awesome ones!

also for a suggestion, which again i can hand made

Posted Image

these are called candy stripe bracelets :) im currently learning new patterns as these are the basic designs, im going to learn the letters PGN so it represents the forum, however again with these i can take requests if enough people are interested.

they are also unisex :) ive made and sold these bracelets to many males as well as females :) so unisex ftw!

i can also make

Posted Image

hand made gift boxes, so if the merchandise goes ahead i can make these to present the smaller gifts in :)

again just a thought and suggestion :)

hmm what if we could buy a mug/cup that either: had our name with Pandora gaming Network(with our avatar) or can have: "Graphic Force is the Best" and under it have Pandora Gaming Network with a picture of Mewtwo


*Edit: that's a good idea Purpl3

with mugs/tshirts anything like that, im pretty sure if we did the research and looked in to it, everyones could be individually personalised :) also having the odd standard pgn gaming network design for those who just want the standard design, then giving everyone else the option for personalizing :)

My suggestion:

Just don't.

Anything trademarked/copyrighted is a no-go area (so anything related to Pokemon/Nintendo/Games/Animed/etc). If you ignore this --> lawsuit.

Including shipping costs, it will be too pricey for the costumers (and a too high risk for the seller to have a stock from).

For the seller: he/she needs to register this "store" as an official business and pay taxes on everything he/she sells. There will have to be only 1 "angry parent" to inform the authorities about PGN. If no taxes are paid: tax fraud--> lawsuit.
The seller also will need to choose to either have a medium stock of items, stuffed into a vacant room in boxes, (meaning a possible investment that will never be paid back if not enough people buy the items) or buy every order separately, resulting in high shipping costs... So either high risk for the seller OR higher prices for the buyer (which will result in less people actually buying the items)

For PGN staff: If kids purchase items, and their parents find out; staff has to bother with either reassuring the parents, retrieving the items, reimbursing them and losing cash on the shipping costs... OR have an "own responsibility"-policy; which will result in angry parents and a general bad name of PGN.

For people who want this merchandise... well... If you really want an item based on PGN; my advice: make it yourself, or handle it yourself. Too many risks involved for the seller.

...




Baseball caps, Wallets, Key Chains. 'nuff said.
I dont think anyone here is dumb enough to buy something without your parents permission, Mr. Satan. (Theres always ONE, though, i'm not pointing fingers though. I'm pointing cursors,)

Storage would be the only real problem. For copyright, we obviously cant use pokemanz, so wynaut just our names? There is nothing against that, is there? (Though if you want a name change, you'll have to ditch your old merchandise.)

Oh, and DOG TAGS. nuff has been said. wait, not enough

(While any mods are here, i need meh name changed approved :@ , sorry for going off topic.)

Yes, there is always that ONE, and that ONE is all it'll take to get us into extreme trouble. Plus, only Admins can change names, not mods (to my knowledge), so sorry on that count, too...

What Shining Kingdra said in his first post, plus KEYCHAINS!!!!!!!!! :D

I LOVE kechaiiiiins!!! : DDD

And I'd probably buy a mug too. XD

Definitely, there have got to be collector cards or something! : P

But, what MM said is true too. You can be sure that my parents are definitely not one bit of lenient ones X P My parents are too strict on me. :P So, being permitted by them comes first. I do not earn on my own yet. They earn for me, that's how it in my country normally (so I'm not some odd-one out! XP). :P

There should be something before you try to buy, like here's something:

You must enter you're %$#&!@ before you buy.

Kid: DAAAAAAD? WHAT'S OUR %$#@!#!??

Dad: WHY DO YOU NEED IT?

Kid: UM...UH..I..JUST WANT TO KNOW?

Dad: THEN I WONT TELL YOU UNTIL YOU TELL ME! NOW GET OFF THE INTERNET AND GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY NOW!!!!

Kid: NEVER!!!!! *locks door*


^_^
P.S. socrates, I wanted to know if Gforce, Satan, or L0nk could do it.

Prepare to be amazaed
What Pandora really needs is it's own logo!
That way we can bypass most copy rights and stuff.

Gforce, as long as it is in your capability to do it, go ahead man! :) It adds to your experience and progress in life. True that you may not get much profit out of it, but as long as you're ready enough in life to look past all that, you should do it. :)

I shall save money and buy some things if you're ever selling them, for sure.

But, don't let your progress get hindered by any negative comments. Sure there are bumps in life! But I think you should still keep walking forward and do it as long as it makes you happy. ^.^

Now, nothing's on a rush and do take your time, do keep yourself relaxed. :) I don't think anyone should have the right to hinder new ideas or your progress. ^.^ (I'm referring to my own self if I have been anything negi. I say take our negative posts as warnings that are keeping you prepared towards things. :))

Don't let anything get in your way to happiness and prosperity! ^.^

Now, here are a few suggestions: (I hope they prove constructive)

1.) Start by selling cheap stuff. Suppose you get something straight from wholesale markets where things are cheap. Perhaps a 1£ keychain? You could sell that for 2£

2.) If you start a little cheap, you won't experience much loss. Invest from your budget safely.

3.) I got an idea, why not sell PGn merchandise through ebay or other sites like that? XD

Why, shipping will be easy peasy!

4.) Perhaps when your budget has increased, you should aim on giving away costlier things.

But, make sure you don't use too much money, alright? ;)

5.) The best thing you could go for as a start is pre-ordering! :) You can open up a thread here (or anywhere as you wish) and start taking in orders. After receiving the orders, you can collect them and go check out their prices. After acquiring information (weekly or anyway you wish), you can post in the thread how much each of their items would cost, precisely (don't buy anything yet). So they can give you their final confirmation. When they tell you they're buying it, you (buy and then) sell to those particular members or cancel those particular requests that say no! :)

(This MAY sound elaborate, but it really is a matter of minutes, ya know. ^.^)

Now how about that? :D I hope this helps, and I shall post more ideas as they come to me! :)
