so why not start off with selling live shows/dvds?
if these guys wanna be around in another 5 years,they need to start steppin it up big time.
pb=mickey mouse
#2.selling live shows would only hurt the sales of real radio,and the others..
spacey, that\'s an excellent idea! most bands that make it have financial backers/investors!
matt,the folks who come to breakfast shows,for the most part,have about enough money to get in the door,a drink or 2,and if were lucky soemthing off the merch.
how many hippies go to the table and walk away with 40+$worth of stuff?
Sell studio albums only.
People want stuff with logo\'s on them, something that says breakfast. People are more inclined to buy keychains, lighters, stickers, signs, patches. If yo had a bunch of things that could sell between 1-5 bucks there would be an increase in sales. For a majority of people that go to shows, DVD\'s and Live Shows are usually less bought because people can get those for free. Put a few impulse items there and they will buy.

options are good.
have real radio,and for the folks who have that,sell something else.
zones was really good.
shirts are important.

I never knew that was Rufus.
they need someone not in the band who\'s sole focus is worrying about this kind of stuff so that they can focus on songwriting, playing etc. far too many good, small bands get broken up over this kinda stuff (disagreements, one guy seemingly making decisions for everyone, resentment that not enough end result is appearing, etc). i\'ve never been a fan of the musician/manager combo. the band shouldn\'t have to worry about this, they should have someone else worrying about it. its hard enough to be on the road playing to small crowds without the extra burden of worrying about the business end, too.
now, who that person should be for this particular band, unfortunately, i can\'t answer that one.
can i come over and play with your nuts?
congratulations you want a bj in the bands van?
what about using some of the gallery photos for something...?

rotfl rotfl
that would be a very hard read
:point: The band should sell life-size cutouts of themselves. They should sell a group rate on all four. People can set them up at home like the stage setup and look at them as they listen to recordings.
wanna cyber??

*crickets*
the drummer from donna the buffalo used to buy pot off my roommate at school. we\'d take care of his dog when he went to play shows. i miss that guy. great dog too. tom i think... tom.... gilbert? maybe... the guy not the dog. i dont remember the dog\'s name.
a sleek breakfast baseball cap would be ser. I\'d deffinitly buy one if they looked kewl.
If they had the DVD\'s on the table I would buy them....They better have stickers at the Church....My car needs a sticker.
With no disrespect for Chris on this one, .
they basically need everything.
no shirts at all.
maybe a coupla girls shirts hangin around.
stickers!
hats,keychaind,lighters,posters,live shows..
Don\'t you guys get it? This band isn\'t interested in making money (at least they don\'t show it). They\'re musicians that like to play in front of big crowds and if they make a little money to get them to the next gig, that\'s nice. The concept of "it takes money to make money" appears to elude them. Even if you give them the "money" (in the form of products/services) they fail to appreciate or take advantage of it.
Here\'s an idea: I bet a nice live DVD would sell great on the merch table! i even know some people that could probably get it done.
i think \'generic\' posters would sell better, and longer - either with an \'aruny\' design, or a killer \'old man todd\' photo/collage... my $.02.
Shut the fuck up Vallo, that\'s not appreciated!
These guys work their balls off dont\' get on them because they choose to run their business, their own way!
play nice.
since it doesnt look like the band will be coming out with new merch any time soon would anyone be interested in more merch created by breakfast fans? The guys who are printing the ser tees can make a lot of other things. Maybe .info should have a merch section to make money for the site, which will help promote the band.

I did\'nt say they don\'t work "their balls off", they are the most dedicated musicians around. They just don\'t have a good business sense and that\'s frustrating to a lot of people. perhaps you\'re implying that it\'s none of our business to comment or make suggestions.
[MOUSE]Thread from the dead...[/MOUSE]
k.
Also, while on the subject, any new and/or better ideas for new merchandise? I\'m trying to see what will be the most cost effective products for the next run of items...
maybe some individual ban member tee shirts like the tim shirt but for adrian(etc...)
Long awaited hoodies are on their way!!! I should have them for Mill Street.
what is on the hoodies?

Same logo colors as the new shirts. Navy blue material.

Is there any way we can make .info a pass-through to the b-fast merch table?

I haven\'t seen the band since Ron left.

Assface! I\'ll be in Oregon.

Sorry I didn\'t coordinate with you. The first run is only for 18. I\'ll be ordering many more after these sell and I see how they come out.
I\'d like to get one if they are touring with merch in Oct.
Anyone know if they are taking the van on this tour?

Yes, you too can look just as cool as mark peters now! Turns out it really is just the clothes! Playing drums and supporting mid-west baseball teams not required.
I\'ll get ya one, what size?
Todd-What sizes are there?
^^^ This is helpful. I needed a new threat for my horses. "I\'m sending you to the glue factory," "would you like to become dog food?" and "you know, in Europe they eat horses" have pretty much become empty threats at this point. I think my horses laugh those off at this point. "Gee, a horse muzzle blanket sure would be comfy" might just do the trick on those off days.Quote from: Mark;201409I\'ll get ya one, what size?
Todd-What sizes are there?
Thanks Mark... But if there will be a re-order as soon as the current supply runs out, I\'m not too worried. I\'ll pick one up when I can.
Plus, I\'m not sure what size I need.

I wonder if it\'d be kosher to design some on cafe press, then donate $ to the band. Any ppl with skills and time, you will get takers!

i say dont bother. if they wanted them they would do it themselves with a spacebrush design. cafepress isnt even that great and would be more expensive all around and much worse quality.
