Just a few designs that I've made that can transform into RCB merchandise.
These designs have been lying in my desktop drive for quite some time, initially started off as an idea for RCB merchandise in discussion with Community managers.. I never followed up after that!
All the current merchandise is there for everybody to buy, U know, None gave you than feeling of exclusively owning it.. I was really looking for something that would not only be cool, but also showed passion for RCB, which is when the idea of custom merchandise occured.
The first product, a series of RCB themed laptop skins, stuff that could be customized too..
(no that is not my laptop!)
We can custom create each one of them with a photo you like, It can be a Rahul Dravid posing with you or a favorite RCB player doing some funky stuff.. But ofcourse all of it comes for a price, a price that I haven't put on it because not one has still gone into production.
Question: Do you think it's a hit? How much would you be willing to pay to get this for your laptop? Would you like it customized or choose from samples already given?!
@Allen: Thanks man!
@Navya: It sure can be done! I'll be coming out with the pricing for a couple of other sticker designs in a couple of days time. Will post it on a thread for discussion.
For now, I'll be making available the sticker only version.
I'm unable to find a good laptop skin printer(flex material) who could do this for a less price. The max I've been able to do is at 400 bucks a piece!
@sujan: Thanks!
@allen: Main problem I have is with the price band. How much are fans willing to pay is the reason I have posted this blog. I guess anything less than 100 bucks will sell!
Mobile skins are a nice idea, but the design needs to be rubber like printed, because otherwise paper may wear off.
Give me some ideas, I'm game to designing them and getting them printed. If RCB wants to make it official, what better than that?
@radiosandeep: I guess you have confused laptop skins with Laptop stickers.. These are two different items..
Laptop Skin - Ultra-strong laminate vinyl laptop art skins, with adhesive which will last for very long. You can remove the skin as many times as you want without damage to your laptop.
Laptop Sticker - Generally paper..
Stickers like you said can be delivered at price lower than a 100 bucks, but skins should cost anywhere between 300 and 500, like i said, I need to find a guy, in Chennai to do this. Stickers not a bad idea, but I wouldn't recommend for a laptop!
mugs, teddy bears, chocolates? I wouldn't but anything that I want to keep in showcase! I want to show off, and laptop works best at that! :)
If I have some 10 people wanting a sticker, or skins I can talk to a printer!
kunal, laptop stickers are available online for as less as Rs.60. Add delivery charges, and you could get it for Rs.100.
Please visit www.pringoo.com for further details. you can not just customise stickers, but also mugs, shirts, chocolates, key chains, caps, teddy bears, mouse pads, etc.
Hey guys, Thanks for the positive comments. Quick clarifications: WE are talking about laptop skins.. The regulars cost anything between 250-350 bucks. The last picture is how your laptop will look with the laptop skin!
Customizing isn't really tough when we have a template design ready! All that needs to be done is to replace Rahul's picture with a picture of you and Rahul! So you know, it's not that hard, and should cost a little more than the price of the regular one!
I haven't got one printed yet, hopefully I'll talk to Nidhi or Natasha about this and take it forward from there.. Have to again, estimate it with a printer. This post is to really only understand if there will be some fans interested!
Wow! Now this is a great idea! It won't be a hit, it'll be a super hit!!! Customization will be a bit difficult, won't it? How about a wide range of pre-designed skins of each RCB player and some featuring the whole team?
1.Box office hit
2.To be frank as a customer not more than 20rs.
3.No idea about the customization.
Hey don't think your product is low priced due to underrated.
Its because i'm replying to you with how the customers think:)
@dravia @CNP: Thanks. Yes, It's my work! Spent hours working on the designs.. Would appreiciate if you could answer the three questions:
1. Do you think it'll be a hit?
2. How much would you be willing to pay to get this for your laptop? or what is the price band you'd be hoping for?
3. Would you like it customized? Will you be willing to pay a little more for that?!
