Hey everyone, I told you I would stop in again. 

How have you guys been? Not sure who's still lingering around that would remember me. But I guess I can post a few updates 

  My whole engagement thing didn't work out. She just went right back to the old her etc. I'm, still pretty fucked up over it but life happens I suppose, and I will be okay eventually. 

 

 But anywho past that mess, I wanna talk to you guys and reach out for help, I am starting a small little team Called "Rising|Line Merch" Which is a print team to sell, and print shirts for all kinds of bands etc. 
Now I am going to be starting a kickstarter project for this idea soon, to help fund to buy equipment and gear, Now if you don't wanna donate that's cool, what I'd really appreciate is promoting the project, and helping me out. This is something I've been wanting to do for a hell of a long time, and just the idea of it is fun to me. 

 

Now before I get attacked about "You're trying to make money off us" or "You just want us to give you free money to make a gain" This isn't true, the gear itself will take a while to pay off, but the main goal of this is to try and keep prices as low as I can, so you don't have to give an arm to afford a band shirt, or whatever you want, but along with that my company will support some of the largest fundraiser organizations for things like Cancer, Alzheimer's, Down Syndrome, Suicide Relief, anti-depression, Autism, and so many more I have connections in most organizations, and of course I'll be 100% honest I could use the extra money to help me finish college, to pay my bills and help out my family. But the main idea here is relief, help.

 

 I already talked to several bigger bands, and recording teams and have the support on these ends, but it truly never is enough.  Feel free to ask any questions, I'd like to keep this relatively hate free so please try to keep flaming to a minimum. 

 

I haven't started the kickstarter yet, I'm waiting on my Buddy to get back to me about his "Idea" 

  I will update this thread with a greenlight if the kickstarter is launched.

 

FAQ:

1. Will you have Rewards? 

   A. Yes I will, and I will post a list of them once I am ready to post the kickstarter

2. Is there a site?

   A. Not yet, I don't want to go to far into this just yet and have it all fall apart, I will post a link later

3. Post your questions for the FAQ

I do remember you, I don't think we had ever spoken before but I do remember you

 

You and Koy were still mods when I registered but I believe you both had stuff irl?

 

Anyway as you can see the forums have expanded greatly and just recently @Raflesia was given SDN access, so things will run much more smoothly!

 

I wish you the best of luck with your project and college, really sorry about your engagement though

We haven't met before, Hi, I'm 5uck(Calvin)

 

As a Business major, I have a few friendly tips for ya based off what I've read here:

 

1) That logo isn't going to really attract up-and-coming bands. Try to do some research as to what your target market (these bands) want their image to be like. Based off of that, redesign the logo geared more towards them.

 

2) FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE EVERYTHING. I don't know you as a person so I cant really judge YOU specifically on this but be sure to always remain professional when speaking with potential clients, and ESTABLISH A RELATIONSHIP with them by the end of the conversation. This will make them feel comfortable around you and ultimately will encourage them to call you back for said business transaction and potential future transactions.

 

3) We live in a "Fast Food" world. Everyone expects everything to be right here, right now. Online sales will be your main source of income, I can promise you that. Make sure you handle these sales in a timely manor or it will severely hurt your company image and reputation.

 

4) As for your engagement: Fuck bitches, Get money. 

 

 

If you have any further questions, feel free to throw me a PM, more then happy to help.

 

Best of luck,

-5uck

 I've ran a company before a small one kind of like this will be starting out, but I'm extremely new to the Online sales world, but I am picking up on it the fastest I can, The bands I'm targeting will probably be more of a heavier style band (Sirens and Sailors, Fit for a King, This si a Lifetime, The word Alive) along with more of a softer tone style of music stuff like Hands like Houses as well, I have multiple friends with ll of these bands, and more but I am defiantly going to work on a professional feel to the team I am more than open to any tips, tricks, or anything else you can throw my way. The more I learn the better, especially from a business major haha.

Welcome back Dustin, never talked to each other and I hope that changes.
