How would you like fellow members to ID you at an event?

Posted by Sam Tsang on July 22, 2008 at 7:12pm in MyCorgi.com Events

Hey guys, more members are meeting each other in regional events, do you have any good suggestions as to how we can ID each other? Here are some of the ideas that have been sent in to us:

Official MyCorgi.com Corgi Rescue Bracelet
It is subtle and it's easy to spot, it double as a way to raise awareness for rescue and promoting the site during events. Proceeds goes to corgi rescue.

T-shirt, Cap
Everyone likes a cool T-shirt or baseball cap, but it is not so subtle when 3-4 people in a group wears the same thing :)

Dog Bandanas, collar, leash
Making our dogs wear it instead of us :)

These are just some of the ideas that have been presented to us, got a better idea or comment? let's talk about it!

Permalink Reply by Suresh on July 23, 2008 at 1:28pm: I'd definitely buy a bracelet or bandana. I'm not so much sold on the t-shirt or cap idea, as I'm pretty picky when it comes to wearing those types of clothes.; ▶ Reply to This

That way not only is MyCorgi.com being shown in main stream, but other MyCorgi members can recognize each other as well! It will also help when other people join to have someone they can associate with.

Say a corgi owner spots a user at the dog park, and decides to join. They now have a friend in the community that they can relate to, and ask for help.; ▶ Reply to This

To me the t-shirt would be like the bridesmaid dresses that are collecting dust in my closet. Maybe if I lived closer to more meet-ups. . .but definitely BRACELETS!! (maybe an orange one?? Since so much of this site is orange - or a sable and white striped one like your girls!!); ▶ Reply to This

Others have also suggested Bumper stickers or window decal. Based on your feedback, we may just put a few ideas into production :); ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Reese on July 23, 2008 at 6:35pm: I like the bandanas...

Or how about these promotional items... stickers, pins, beads... people like beads, lanyards (attached can be members name), hand fans (it can be made of paper products or fancier), sling bags, jibbets for crocs, patches that people can sew or iron on, temporary tattoos, dog clickers, water bottles, cups, license plate boarder, better yet... doggie poop bags! I think I can go on forever... All of those things you can go cheap or fancy on. Just depends what the budget is and it's intention (last just for the meeting or able to be re-useable).; ▶ Reply to This
