Men: How do you like your swag??

[LacieLaPlante]

Like, for raffle and game prizes.. If I were to order some t-shirts relating to myself, what would you like to see on it and what wouldn't you like to see? I feel like a picture of myself on a shirt would be odd and awkward and I wouldn't wan't to send that out to someone, but as a fan of a girl, would you want that? I need more professional, higher quality photos before I would be able to do this. I could see a guy wanting my picture on a mousepad or a poster, but a shirt?

I have started a cafepress and I've been looking through items, so perhaps you can comment on how you feel about receiving these as prizes or buying these?

- Shot glasses and beer tumblers
- T-Shirts (How much would you want a t-shirt to reference the model?)
- Boxer Shorts
- Mouse Pads
- Posters

What do not I have listed that you might enjoy as a prize or gift from a model? or "swag" that you'd want to buy?

I'm still working on designs and logos, but so far I've put my art on t-shirts and mousepads and made simple swag for my 420 club tippers. What other kinds of stuff would be nice to see?

*preface, I'm not posting so you'll buy hah, but so you will critique and consider what kind of swag you would appreciate from your favorite model*

With Xmas right around the corner I would think that calendars are a good idea. I prefer the type that has a different pic for each month and you could use the seasons as the themes for each month ie; bikini babe for summer, ski bunni for winter etc or just artistic pics of yourself all the way through.
Just had a thought, some of the girls from here got together and donated photos, even better. I would gladly tip in for that, $100-$150 easy, money for xmas. Please, please, please forum hunni's take it on (or should I saay off?).

It depends on the guy. I've never been too fond of typical "souvenir" items. I don't much like game swag and I'm pretty sure I'd never put up a poster of a cam model, at least at my age. A photo signed with your model name, perhaps with a personal note, even if it were just scanned and emailed would be all I would want.

If it's a physical object, perhaps it would be better if it were something your regulars associate closely with you, say a copy of a goofy mug you always drink out of, or of a stuffed toy that figures in your room, but that isn't associated with adult subject matter would be well received. That way it be a kind of an inside joke. It would be personal and remind your regulars of you, but it would mean nothing much to anyone else who sees it.

+1 to this. I included physical picture in my list of prizes for a reason. A lot of guys would love it. Older gents with family and such probably won't enjoy the souvenir items if they focus on the model or even on MFC in general. A lot of younger guys might not either, since their girlfriends wouldn't often enjoy it (it's one thing to watch it, it's another to live it).
Yes some girls are cool with it, some guys will like it. So feel free to hit that niche market, but in terms of prizes, they might not be as desirable.
The reminders of you are better. Like I have a pile of Sharpie brand permanent markers to remind me of Amber.

I think that many models have found they have a lot of personalised swag they can't move very easily. Often her regulars will buy them and enter raffles more to support her than to actually get the item.

Items like usb sticks, lcd picture frames, ipods, ipads and cameras with personalised photos/videos are often a more wanted item as well as downloads of the same. They are personal as well as usable in ordinary life.

Anyway that is my opinion.

Understand where you're coming from here but have to add that at 48 and single (wouldn't matter if I was in a relationship, btw) posters are ok with me. Great talking point in the shed (man zone), plastered proudly on the bar fridge or on the door maybe, I have to warn you though, it has to be a pretty good poster to hang in Marilyn's section, :lol:
On the t-shirt side, my favorite stripper T is a silhouette of three girls, two sitting, one leg with foot near the knee of the other leg straight out in front (like they are leaning against a wall), the othe girl is standing between them with legs slighty spread and her hands on their shoulders. Printed underneath id the con\mpany name, great shirt. Gone to the great t-shirt rag factory in the sky now.
Coffee cups are to me, also a great idea for the shed. Great for coffee and not bad with bundy, ice and a dash of coke either, :-D

This is what I was looking to hear. i'm glad cafe press doesn't require you to buy anything A couple people had asked about a few of my art pieces on shirts and posters and thats how I got started, and I noticed some girls had made a lot of personalized swag for raffles, but its sounding like pictures/posters/calendars are the best way to go.

 

[SirLes]

Put me on the list for a calendar bb. :lol: :lol: :lol:

The only swag I have ever bought on purpose was a poster of Kota_Morgue but it looks more artistic to me than porntastic. So I had no problem framing it and hanging it on a wall. I do not drink but I also accidentally ended up with some shot glasses from another model, just from general tipping.

I have never seen a swag shirt I could wear in public and still be following my companies rules on non-work behavior, and that is something you need to remember not just married men have people telling them what they can do.

I hope I helped a little even if my taste in art is questionable.

 

[BullFrogBlues]

Looking at your art they would make a great calender that anyone could have on their wall.

Nice work on the framing dude that looks great!

I concur with the calendar recommendations. I'd totally buy a calendar of some models and/or a 12 babe calendar of ACF girls :drool:

Raffles for items are tricky. I do think cool artwork, iPods , and things you can use in everyday life is the way to go. I think for a 2nd place prize a t-shirt or calendar of your art and content would be cool. I think it also really depends on the person.
