Funding The Daily Stormer - merchandising!

[RETAKECONSTANTINOPLE]

This topic has been discussed in depth all over these forums. The basic summary is that there is a lot demand for The Daily Stormer merchandise, but the staff (especially Andrew Anglin) don't perceive it to be worth the effort.

Here are some posts of people wanting merchandise -

I feel like there has to be some way to produce the right amount merchandise to satisfy demand, and to give the DS a little bit of profit. Here are some ideas -

• Make more t-shirts! - People want them! I cannot find any posts that indicate how that last Daily Stormer t-shirt sold. But the demand seems to be there. Maybe produce a single run of shirts a few times a year. Mods of this forum could set up a contest and pick the best design submission to be printed. Whatever they did to print the last shirt seemed to work, so they could probably just use that service again. Having a well known schedule would give the most people possible an opportunity to buy the shirt. I missed my chance to buy the shirt last time and I was pissed!
  

• Publish the The Daily Stormer! - This writers of this website have produced content that is 10x better than whatever Jew publication won the last writing award or whatever. Sam Hyde appeared to have success with both print runs of his book "MDE PRESENT'S HOW TO BOMB THE U.S. GOV'T". The Daily Stormer should release anthologies that contains a sampling of the best articles published. It could even separate them into biennial volumes that would cover the past 4 years in two books. If Sam Hyde made money from this there is absolutely no reason DS couldn't.

• Sell stickers! - Stickers have got to be the cheapest branded material someone can produce and send in the mail. Tie them to donations. Set a price of something like $50 for a large and small sticker set. People are dying for some official Daily Stormer branded material and this is the cheapest and most useful.

This article is part of a series. Part one is about merchandising. Part two is about advertising. Part three covers everything else.

Can confirm about the t-shirts. I'd love to buy one of those above, or a similar artful, subtle design.
Stickers too. Most people are too lazy to print their own stickers so if you make some available for purchase, I think people would spread them far and wide - free advertisement.

I really want to get into screen printing. Either that or getting a heat press. Not even in it for the money making aspect of it, just want to be able to make my own shirts/print off shirts instead of paying $15-$20 for whatever slogan, logo or other witty thing I find amusing on a shirt at the time.

Not sure what the startup costs are in regards to screen printing vs heat pressing, but I'm gonna go do some research and figure that all out. If I decide to go for it, I'll report back. Cause fuck it, we can make our own merch and I'll donate a certain amount per DS shirt sold.

From what I know about how black metal labels work, if you care enough you can press shirts, CDs in fancy packaging, vinyl etc on an absolute shoestring budget. I also remember when the PS2 was out of production you could still get old rare games like MGS2: Substance because small pressing plants in the UK/Holland bought production rights and started with their own pressings.

Remember the difficulty in selling shirts is really the sizes and how many to print. Taking pre-orders avoids this problem. Best of luck.

Heat press and ink jet transfer paper seems like the way to go. If I had the money and time I'd love to make up screens for screen prints, but the limitations involved makes it so much more of a pain in the ass.

Going the inkjet/heat press route means we could literally open a submit/vote thread, let people do their thing, submit size requests (or I could just print off a fixed amount of every size), and we could all have shirts within a month or less.

Man this makes me want to buy a heat press and ink jet printer and transfer paper right the fuck meow.

This.
We should talk, Bro!

Heh, didn't you write some post about how printing T-shirts sucks a while back? I think printing stickers is better, but I'd be interested to hear how that last Daily Stormer shirt sold.

I have a lot of ideas about all this stuff that I'm gonna write about today or tomorrow when I get a moment.

[TheWolf]

I certainly don't remember that,bro!
I did post on a thread a while back about t-shirts and as far as I remember the context was that it was pretty much standard issue to double your money on merch.
That said..... I have been known to shitpost while drunk but I really don't think it was me.

[Hoarde]

The point of the merchandising shouldn't be to raise money so much as engage more people in the site. Some funny designs, satirical ones would give the now very public alt-right gatherings opportunities to fly colours for the DS.

[TheWolf]

I am 100% aware of that. I unfortunately missed out on obtaining the first DS shirt ever and I'm still kicking myself over it.
Reason being the the shipping costs were way too high. That's just the way shipping costs work. I know from experience that DS wouldn'tt have made a big pile of shekels on
them. AFAIK, it only works lthe way I mentioned on a local scale. From a small run, sold locally.

Those t-shirts should sport the best memes. The artsy first Stormer-shirt is already a classic vintage, probably sold 10x its original price on the white market.

But really, le happy merchant, tiregate, tyrone, etc. It really doesn't require too much effort to publish new official Stormer shirts.

[OceanView]

I buy Merchandise, but it got to be from a website that take English money so I know how to operate it.

Daily Stormer mugs and pens would be good.

I haven't sent money yet. I am wary of sending money in the post to an obvious address where the postman will know it's money and open it.

Bit coin sounds too much like dark web stuff for me to even compute.

Commander Rockwell used to sell these:

One of the biggest things we've already done to
propagandize ourselves is our "Coon-ard Lines Boat Tickets to Africa." It's our most
popular mail-order item; white high school students order them by the thousands.

[joe1]

we should have one company, one of our guys, that does all the t-shirts, stickers, printing etc for the entire Alt-Right.

[yooobrooo]

The alt right go to guy

[RETAKECONSTANTINOPLE]

They didn't fuck around back then!

[RETAKECONSTANTINOPLE]

I totally agree with this.

I'm not an expert on printing t-shirts, and in some ways it does seem like a money pit.

But, stickers on the other hand, are absolutely a money-making opportunity. They are easy to print and cheap to send through the mail. The only upfront cost is the printer, which isn't that much. I actually have a friend who makes a decent side-income by selling stickers o ebay. He sells basic bitch stickers that have lots of competition and still make good money. Anyone who sells Nazi and specifically Daily Stormer stickers would have access to a huge market that most sellers aren't willing to sell to.

The way I see this working is like this.@AndrewAnglin and the Daily Stormer officially approve a small selection of stickers and merchandise from a seller willing to complete the sales. Then the seller sends a percentage to the site's account. If they do not, they are publicly blackballed. Any seller that does this will be able to make a nice profit while satisfying a market demand, and donating quite heavily to the Daily Stormer website.
