Drive Ford or GTFO!Follow

See, but that's where you are wrong. Decisions like these is how they manage to pull through to begin with. Take into consideration that the only ones really loosing at this one is the employees. Wether or not this tactic will greatly increase their profits by promoting their employee's love for their product is only a tidbit in the plan; because though the increase isn't great, it DOES make a better impact on any saleman's pitch.

Stop looking at this from the employee's point of view, or some magical set of customers that know and hate this policy just because they miraculously give a damn about the guy/girl conning them to spending 16k.

Look at it from the employer's point of view...where he/she is willing to do ANYTHING to increase the company's profit by even a small 0.0001%.

I have got to get me one of these!!!!

I demand Alla t shirt sales with Login names embroidered on the chest!!

Get to it Katie.

Wasn't there talk of Alla shirts and stuff at one point?

Except that the article states that the move was supported by the workforce. Sure, not all of them drive Ford's or care to, but the vast majority of the people that work at the plant have a great deal of pride in the product they produce.

And it's only the only plant in North America that is doing it at this time, although it's probably a safe bet other plants will follow suit.

In!

Maybe they were being polite?


Elitist bastards, all of 'em

Have your people call my people, we'll do lunch.

Fords' holdings are what again compared to yours?

I think you are simply "blabbering about" for the sake of debate. If you are selling a product and use something else, you wont be selling that product for long.

So many workers these days lose sight of the whole teamwork effort in favor of a "me first" attitude.

I wonder how many people are actually proud of their job, or take pride in their work anymore? If marketing, building, or selling a product, understand that believers are closers.

Non believers park in the rear.

Cafepress offers a pretty reliable T-Shirt selling bussiness, you design it and they sell it for you on their website.

Yeah I used Cafepress back in early 2000 to design my guild's tshirt and an uber stein of moggok


Their tshirt quality sucked *** then, and I hear it still does

I still use the stien of moggok though, even though it's mostly faded

I have a recreated image of the logo with wand image that is large enough to make into a t-shirt. It's just a matter of getting them made.

I would like to have us offer allakhazam T-shirts again for sale. How that would work would be the main hurdle at this point. Allakhazam himself owns the copyright on that logo, so If I wanted to go the Cafepress route and just have some made, we would have to work out some sort of arrangement, either licensing for a limited run, or a percentage of any profits made. In the long run it would probably be more profitable for him to just commission them himself and not worry about me as a middle man.

Now Staff shirts, that's another matter, I think I could make a run of those without any problem. This year shall be the year!
