[Xerte-dev] Re: Fw: [apereo-projects] Apereo Logo Now in our Store

[Ron Mitchell]

We have more users in Europe than the US so not sure a US store is the best place for us - shipping cost too much of a barrier.

Let's do some research into a UK/Europe equivalent...

The LandsEnd store is not a fund raising site - they work with corporate branding folks (like Coca-Cola and Ford) to provide high-quality merchandise following strict branding guidelines.  We pay them for things like logo set up, etc.  I have personally spent about $350 on logo set up for the store - because I wanted these shirts and anywhere I have printed them in the past charges a setup fee.  The other real advantage of LandsEnd is the amazingly wide range of items that can have a logo applied to them.
