Sorry. Not to stir up controversy here, but why are people paying to advertise for a business? I think letting Micro Image buy ad space to offset the price of the cards makes sense, but this seems odd. Is there a cost reduction associated with the cards that you didn't mention, like MI already paid for X% of the cards?

This is a really good point though. Its not fair for lets say, the rest of the vendors on here. Unless MI actually paid to be there.

But whatever you guys wanna do is cool. lol

tomato
10-14-2009, 02:02 PM
I would like the cards, but without MicroImage in the back.

No offense, and the reason I don't want MI in the back is that I want the card to be blank in the back so I can write stuff like "nice rims" or whatever I want and personalize the message. Otherwise, it'd looks like one more piece of junk people leave on your windshield when you're at the mall, if you see what I mean, well, IMO.

Is that an option? Thanks.

10-14-2009, 02:09 PM
you dont like MI?

The point of the cards is to get more ppl to join regardless if they want to buy something and the reason MI is on the back because its a Forum as well and a well known one.

that's exactly why I was asking for YW cards only :iono:

For the record, I have NOTHING against MI, that's not what it's about, so let's not even go there :biggrin:. I just want some space on the back of the card where I can write stuff.

Personally, if I saw a hand-written message on a card, I'd read it. If I just saw advertising on both sides, I'd toss it. That's ALL I meant :smile:

garm hooks us all up so i like promoting his business when i can.

i can talk to him about pitching in. maybe i can et him to pitch in 100 bux and i'll double all our orders :)

i always throw a card or two in anything yaris related that i sell on the forums

If I'm helping support the production of all of them (and I am), I want my stuff on the back of all of them.

Tomato, ask Bueller to make some for you with just YW on them. :wink:

YarisWorld stickers: produced (and paid for) by members
YarisWorld T shirts: produced by Micro Image (all profits to charity)

Just keepin' it real, folks -- not trying to cause tension.

TinyGiant
10-14-2009, 02:41 PM
Okay . everyones order is now doubled thanks to garm :)

so $6 buys you 200 of them :)

frownonfun
10-14-2009, 11:27 PM
so how do we get ones that are blank on the back again?

i agree with tomato that a touch of personalization goes a long way in grabbing someone's attention. selling out to a company does not.

and i love microimage too btw.

PETERPOOP
10-14-2009, 11:29 PM
i wouldn't call it selling out to a company at all. until there is another company that can offer more variety of yaris parts than MI, people will be on Garm's nuts for a long time (including me).

frownonfun
10-14-2009, 11:36 PM
no that's cool i'm in agreement with everyone that MI is pretty much king of iron fist vendors (lame tekken reference) but people not a part of YW aren't going to be considering that when they go to pluck an annoying piece of trash from under their wiper blade. they'll just see somebody whoring something out and probably toss it. hell they might still toss it with a message on the back but i think it's got a better chance of survival.

anyone will tell you a person is more likely to listen to you if you compliment something about them first.

and they will quickly learn of the greatness that is MicroImageOnline.com when they join the site. plus i been asking for a sticker from Garm for a while now cause i'd love to be rocking one on my car so i don't mind advertising just don't think i want to in the form of a YW card.

ozmdd
10-15-2009, 12:03 AM
I am pleased with the results of this discussion. Not because Garm had to spend some $$, but because this is good business all the way around. As a matter of principle, I am going to buy some. Gotta put my money where my mouth is.

BTW - I agree that Garm is fantastic for the Yaris and YW communities!

Hey, don't look in my direction, I didn't say that! :biggrin: All I wanted is some blank space in the back. If i'm paying, I ought to be able to get what I want, no? :wink: :smile:

Seriously, though, when you guys are ready to print-out blank ones in the back, you all let me know (or if you print-out some with both MI and YW in the front, but blank in the back, that'd work out for me as well.)

10-15-2009, 06:06 PM
lol. glad to hear i have some stickers coming. should be here tomorrow i'm guessing.

i think if you go passing out cards trying to get somebody to join a site with a specific company's ad on the back you are selling out. by that i mean you have just become, imo, insincere. makes it seem like you have a vested interest in whether that person joins or not. that's all i'm saying. doesn't matter what company.

but anyway none of my opinions on matters of advertising etiquette have anything to do with anything. i just think, like tomato said, a blank space on the back would be nice.

never thought of it that way. good point.
