TxBands.com Online Store

[Dynasty]

Well folks, in a last ditch effort to get enough money to cover our server expences *ahem* (which expires in 2 months mind you!), we have launched the Official TxBands.com Store through CafePress.

 

You can view all of the items for sale by going here, or anytime by clicking on the Shop@TxB link at the top of the page. When you select "Buy", you will be forwarded to a CafePress page to complete your order.

 

You can get cool items like shirts, hats, mousepads, and yes, even wall clocks.

 

So go buy something cool!

 

To be brutally honest...

I know everything is EXPENSIVE! There really isn't a whole lot we can do about that. CafePress is set up so that there is a base price for each item. Then, I get to mark-up the prices and earn (neglegable) profit for my account.
 
 

• Out of all the items, we are at most earning a profit of $3.01 and at least earning $1.01.
  
• Overall, we are averaging about $2.43 profit on each purchase you make.
  

The TxBands.Com Promise

 

ALL, yes, 100%, of the profits earned through Donations and the Store, no matter what the date or occasion, will be put into the fund for the website. I promise I will not go buy valve oil with YOUR money, and I'll make sure Clarinot doesn't spend it on reeds or anything.

And YES! If you buy stuff you can get the stylish PURPLE "I bought TxB Gear" icon under your name!

 

Note: You can also get a donator one by donating.

Yes, I'm actually working on that now. It just takes about an hour to set up each store with a different picture.

Yeah well its looking that Polo Shirts may cost more than our server costs, but the money comes out of me and Clarinot's pockets (not the donate/store fund).

Ok, here is the store with TxBands Logo and "...Because band is just better in Texas"

Awesome! I just got a Polo and T-Shirt.

 

Edit:

 

Edit2: Which donation method has the least overhead? Doesn't Paypal take around a 1.5% of the donation?

 

Edit3: Icon!

[Dynasty]

I PM'ed you Xenon.

 

Dreamhost: 5% + $.30

PayPal: 2.9% + $.30

Amazon: 2.9% + $.30

 

We'd prefer PayPal since we already have donated money in that account.

So basically anything under $15 is more effective going to Dreamhost, but anything $15 or more is more effective going through PayPal.

 

You should have some more money in your PayPal account now.

Just a note, if you have a slogan or something you want on a shirt, PM me and I'll see if I can make something for you.

I got my shirts today! Pictures are forthcoming.

 

Edit: OK, I guess there won't be pictures for a while as the camera decided to be broken......
