I think all of us would support items whose revenue would go to helping keep this site up and running smooth.This is the greatest resource that I have for my car.I dont know how hard it is to produce,but I would love to see a windshield banner for fiatspider.com.Or even a small transparent emblem like the FLU decal.

I've lost track. Has anyone actually accepted responsibility for choosing a design and getting something made? We seem to be going around in circles without a prime person. If anyone thinks they're prime, or wants to be, please stand up :D

Check out the zazzle store I created. I posted a couple of bumper stickers,key chains, magnets, mouse pads, and stickers just see how they look and to get a feel for how the system does. If you like a particular design let me know and I will try to do more with it. Also, if you have other designs that you want to include let send them to me and I will post them as well. Once I get some more time and a feel for what people want, I can try the shirts, hats, etc. Feel free to look over what products zazzle offers and give me suggestions of what styles and products you want too. Finally, I have adjusted the commission on each product so the pay out is approximately $1.30 per item, of which a $1 will go to the forum. I haven't been able to get a reply as to wither the commission on the items sold will be considered taxable income to me so that is why I have the extra $0.30. If it will not be considered taxable income or if things don't sell in high volume then I will lower the commissions back so that it all goes to the forum. If this doesn't seem fair to you all or if you would like to set the commissions higher to send more back to the forum let me know. Finally, I cannot in any way speak to the quality of the items that zazzle produces and without being able to see them other than being on the screen I can't say how any of these items will come out. It appears that they have a good return policy but I just wanted to be upfront.

Michael, I didn't see what the price would be on the stickers. Is the $1.30 commission over and above the price of the sticker?
It looks like both of the banners are bumper stickers, is there a window sticker style?
I like the banner from the forum bunches!
Thanks,
Ron

Hey Ron,
If you click on the item ,it comes up with a price.$5 for the bumper stickers,$11 for the mouse pad,etc...I wouldnt want to put a bumper sticker on my car(might ruin that nice,tucked in look :lol: )I would also like a cling on type window sticker,or windshield banner. Michael,thanks for taking this on yourself.We needed a 'take charge' guy.

Craig, you are right as you click on them the actual price comes up. The price that you see is inclusive of the commission so the only thing that would need to be added would be shipping.
Unfortunately, there are no window clings but the way that I read the bumper stickers are that they are a vinyl so they would work as a windshield banner or window sticker (maybe some trimming/cutting) but please read through the descriptions as to make sure. I am going to work on some more designs and please help me with that. We are having yet another family crisis tonight so I am not sure when I will get back to this but please give me some more feedback and I will do my best to incorporate any and all comments, suggestions and designs. There is no limit the the number of designs we can have and all items are made to order so there is no overhead.
I did hear back from zazzle today and the end of the year sales will be filed as income.

Please keep the comments and feedback coming.

Looking good.

You should be able to contractually assign the income you receive on the sales to the owner of this site, in this case you would get a 1099 from zazzle as income, you would report this on your tax return along with an offsetting deduction for the assignment of the income which paid out to the site. The site owner would have the income and you would not have additional tax liability. Might speak with your own accountant about this as rules vary by state.

Good job Michael,
I'd like to see some smaller stickers, or maybe a bumper sticker that could be cut into four smaller stickers. Thanks again for your work.

I will have to check into the tax stuff, as this is a subject that I know the least about, espcially after the tax bill we recieved this year! :oops:

Trey, I am working on some smaller stickers and I like your idea about setting the bumper stick up to be cut into 2 or 4 smaller stickers. I will try to work on that. There are the blue Fiat logo circle stickers on there already. They come in 2 sizes (1.5" or 3") and you buy them by the sheet, either 20 on a sheet or 6. I am going to try to get more designs for that template as well.

Keep the comments and suggestions coming!

Ok, I need you help.
I can start making the T-shirts, smaller stickers, etc. once a logo is picked. I have 4 logos on zazzle right now (Italian flag, FS.com banner plain and red, and the take-off of the vintage fiat logo (blue and white)). Is one of these the one you what to be the "official logo" or do I need to keep working. Once we get the "official logo" then I will go forward and create the T-shirts, smaller stickers, etc., etc. Also look back through this post and check what others have posted and make sure there isn't something there you like. I took the easy route and worked with those submissions that were already in a high enough resolution that I didn't have to do a lot of work too. If the consensus is one of those is what you want, I will make it happen but I need to know which one first.
Thanks for you help as I am not the most artistic person.
