I love MST and all, but you guys reeeeeally need....

Some new apparel. Was wanting to pick up some shirts to promote you guys, I workout with a lot of competitive athletes (powerlifters, endurance athletes, mma people, etc) and figured I could push what I think is a great line of products. But your shirts/merch don't promote anything you guys have to offer, and they don't really promote the brand.

I find this is an issue with a lot of athletic lines and supplement companies.

I work in the ad industry for a living, and think you guys can really benefit by having a more solid line of merch to match your great product line. Something to think about!!

In any case, I won't be picking up any shirts, but I'll keep supporting your line!

shirts are hit or miss and are a huge investment, esp. to be quality driven.
Not many want to pay more than $15 for a gym shirt (esp. if that's where they will be wearing it)
granted some lines have a vanity type portion, to where ppl wear them because of the name (i.e. TapOut and Affliction).

MST does meet demands though, so if there is a heavier demand for shirts, this could be a possibility.
A lot of times, shirts do well with pre-sales, esp. since you can gauge your market and the shirts arrive at a reasonable cost.
I'll direct big M here and let him peek in and see what he thinks.

I dont think that's the directive M1 is aiming at and I don't see it being a priority for him, he's talked to me a couple of times reformulating products here and there but theres no need to because there so damn effective ( Cre02 ) knowing Matt there's something on the drawing board in regards to new products, I might myself draw some cool Tshirt designs just for the hell of it.

The reason I ask, is not for myself nor for the demands of people looking for just cool merch in general. I originally was just interested in pushing the products since they're so great... to help out with advertising and spreading the word.

Noone I run into around here (NYC) knows about MST. But whenever I wear a product shirt at the gym, people tend to always ask me about the product, or makes comments like "looks like it works for you", so it would be great to have decent merch to have available to the public, but mainly for advertising the product. Guerilla marketing.

I work in advertising and design as well. Just trying to help out a cool brand, with a great product line. I would love to see them be successful far into the future.

I also just started a log (link in my sig) where my main sups are all MST based, in case people want to follow along.

Btw, not talking about new products, just some ways to help push em. I have a good friend in Cali with a full print shop, lil ways away from me though, but doable. Let me know if you want to collab on some shirts.. I'm down. They can do silk screens, heat press and sublimation and can easily do limited runs for personal use.

After re-thinking I agree with gutter....some tshirts to promote would be awesome,

I have been trying to promote this angle for a while now. I think that the big man is more concerned with continuing to put out great and cutting edge products for you all to enjoy than he is with promotion. Its a tough balance to get a hold on, but knowing what I know about all the products in the works right now.....I think in a few months time you're going to forget all about merchandise when you're using the new stuff

 

[Gutterpump]

Awesome to hear. Well I think I may just make some up on my own for now. Honestly would love to see the company remain successful and continue to grow. Love the products!
