Schwag for Startups (Free Stickers)

6 points by rrival 18y ago ↗ HN

I am the creator of StartupSchwag.com, a subscription tshirt/chochki of the month club. We currently print one startup's shirt per month (startup pays nothing for this) and accept stickers/chochkis for distribution to a growing international subscriber base.

Today I'd like to announce that we'll print stickers for startups, 5-10 startups per month, at no cost to them, and ship the startup the extras. That means if we do a run of 2500 and only ship 1000 to subscribers, each startup gets free sticker schwag to do with as they wish.

Please, interesting logos, clever designs. If it looks like "My First Logo," it's not as interesting to me or anyone receiving it, and it probably won't get used. Please be in a public beta or launch state. YC/Tech Stars/Euro equiv startups will receive priority - I'd prefer to help early stage startups spread the word, but there's 'early stage' and 'hatched last weekend and nobody's seen it yet.' - the former is preferable =)

Please contact me if you're interested.

point of curiosity: according to your site, valleyschwag, who was your inspiration, recently decided to close up shop. what do you think you can do better/cheaper/faster to keep the same thing from happening to you?

Where they were relying on freebies, we license art and print it on demand. Where they had (for some time) web devs stuffing bags a few days a month, this uses a fulfillment shop from day 1. More details in the TechCrunch article (including comments from ValleySchwag's guys):
