Swag, in this use, is the stuff you can buy at an event. T-shirts, keychains, mousepads, mugs, photo's for an autograph, etc....

What are you more likely to buy in person? Online?Overall What do you prefer?

Thanks and !

Tshirts in Person. Still cautious about handing out credit card details online and not organised enough to do cheques etc.
I do like funky teatowels as presents from travelling friends.

Is it the Truth?
Is it Fair to all concerned?
Will it build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?

Hmm lets see, CDs, T's and pins. I don't know of anyone who's bought a mug at an event... except at the beer festival (who wouldn't buy a mug at a beer fest!). T's and pins are nice cause you can put them on right away and not worry about losing them. CDs are a bit more fragile, but nice to have, and you can get them autographed :-). All these things I prefer to buy on the spot to 'remember the moments'.

there is no better way to say I love you than with the gift of a spatula!

I'm not much of a pack-rat, so I rarely buy trinkets and I'm up to my ears in T-shirts, but if I'm going to buy that sort of stuff, I'll do so in person.

We "give away for a donation" oversized colour postacrds, vinyl stickers, and temporary tattoos after our shows. The tattoos are by far the most popular. We hand out twice as many of the tattoos as either of the other items. Postcards are second most popular, black and white stickers are third.

Definitely go for the tattoos. You can sell the postcards for more, though, because they're bigger and in full colour.

The kids also really dig cheese. Lots of Ash Circle cheese selling these days. We also saved some of the NY Street Boys' sweat, and we're selling that via an online auction. It's up to $400 so far. Check out www.onlineauction.com/UselessCrapYou'llBuyAnyway/famouspeople/NYStreetBoysSweat/

We're going to be breaking into the online selling soon enough. Probably t-shirts/spaghetti tops and maybe notebooks for the back-to-school crowd. I find Cafepress charges a pretty high base price, though. Does anyone know of other online shops that are cheaper?
