I like it! Is everyone else okay with this? If so, I'll update the web page with the new mockup so that we can start sending the link out to everyone. I'm inclined to get with the $15 price, mostly because I think people willing to pay $14 will also be willing to pay $15, and the additional funds can be used to help offset outreach expenses.

For additional clarification on some questions that arose, the $13 cost is only for the XXL shirt if we sell 36-50 total shirts. The rest of the sizes are $2 less than XXL. Also, our per-t-shirt cost also includes shipping. Since out plan is ask the vendor to ship the shirts directly to the conference hotel, we won't have to pay additional money for shipping.

If you have any objections to the final mock-up or to $15 price, please let us know by 5 p.m. Eastern today.

Thanks!
Kathy

Here is an updated mockup attached.  I don't have strong feelings about using the "Show Me Evergreen" component but do worry about too many elements on one shirt.  I would also caution against using color fades or transitions - they often don't work well printed on cloth.  The mockup is exactly that - a mockup.  Some elements might vary in the final (such as matching white values for text).  As for the v neck versus other options I don't think it looks bad from a design stand point but nor do I have particularly strong feelings about it.

Regarding size - those sizes are correct.

Regarding prices - We discussed $13 - $15 dollars and during the last call discussed cutting the difference at $14.  I think $15 is fine too.

Hi all,

We appear to have a simple WordPress shopping cart plugin set up on the Evergreen site that will allow us to sell the conference t-shirts outside of the conference registration site. Now that we know we have the tools to make this happen, I want to circle back to a couple of decisions on the conference t-shirts before making this live.

Price

As Rogan mentioned in a previous range, our costs are $13 per t-shirt for the largest size if we order 36-50, but are less expensive at smaller sizes. We had discussed a price range of $13-15 on our conference call, but I thought we were settling on $14. Is everyone in favor of that price point?

BTW, Rogan, can you let me know what sizes are available so that I can include them on the order form? Right now, I have S, M, L, XL listed.

Design

I have attached the mockup that Rogan sent earlier. My recollection was that everyone on the Outreach Committee was happy with the design. However, Amy forwarded along some suggestions that came from some of the conference committee members:

- Adding the Evergreen URL on the back
- There was a suggestion to not do a v neck because it didn't go well with the circular logo design or possibly changing the front log to the Evergreen logo? (I'm actually okay with it as is, but I wanted to forward along the suggestion.

Another thought I had was that it might be nice to include the Show Me Evergreen piece of the logo (shown here -https://evergreen-ils.org/conference/2018-evergreen-international-conference/) on the t-shirt. Maybe below the logo on the back of the t-shirt? If we did this, though, then I don't think we could add the URL because it would make the shirt too cluttered.

However, I'm also okay with going with it as is. Do you all have any thoughts before we put this out there?

Thanks and happy Thanksgiving!

Kathy
