Would you buy a keychain or a wristband to promote AZbilliards if it is cheap enough?

We intentionally made our own logo so that we didn't infringe on Billiards Digest and didn't need any approvals. Probably tougher with AZB. I'm sure they've trademarked that name.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

Will do Mike, thanks for the offer..............I just hope that we get the go ahead! I have no problems getting it all started and done up!

There are plenty of people in here that would be able to do this idea, or help with this idea. I just hope that we get the go ahead with the logo and I will get them printed up and on their website.

Wish me luck!
 
Ok, if we only picked one color or a combination of colors to make sure that they were identifiable easier by all AZ members what color should we choose?

Travis has suggested Blue!

OK Mike, how about it ? I think this would be an outstanding little promotion for AZ Billiards (and free to you two too). As such it deserves to use the AZ Billiards logo art that we see in the upper left corner of our screens. It can't hurt anything (OK people, do NOT use these as a weapon in a holdup :mad: ), and it might increase awareness of your site.

Dave, knows there is only one Mike in charge here, but had the opporunity to use "to", "too", and "two" in the same phrase and took it :D

I'll post a picture of the actual keychain later.

I've got a friend who works for a promotions company who can make them if you're looking for someone to make them.

Yep... that's the kind of thing I was thinking of. I'd like room on whatever we decide on for each of us to use a marker to write our forum name. I want something that simply says: AZ JimS

That's all I need. I want to be able to recognize fellow az'rs. I used my printer to make a few mailing labels just like the above example. I intend to wear one at the SVB v Bowman thing Friday and I have some made up without a name if anybody sees me and wants to wear one that just says AZ and then use a pen to put their name on it.... or not.

I like a key chain idea so it could be on the case or left dangling out of a shirt or pants pocket. A pin is nice too. I like the colors of the CCB tags. Something eye catching.

I'd pay up to $10 each.

Just some examples! Still awaiting the go ahead to get it started up.............but wanted you all to know what some products could look like!

Ok, it has been said that they shouldn't be 20 different colors. So how bout orange with blue letters? That way you can see them all the way across the pool hall?

Anyone else have any opinions on the colors?

I'd rock the AZB wrist-bands, but I'd need them in almost every color.
 
I don't care much for the wrist band. A person looking at it can't read it and it's too common these days. The name AZ has to stick out. The CCB key chain was oval, about 3" long and 1" wide and had large letters as is shown in the post above. It needs to be seen and recognized across the room... imo.

I don't see anything wrong with having all the colors. Hey! Maybe green like real pool table cloth? Green with ??? letters. White letters... like a cb?

The wrist band won't be for everyone, I agree.........however some people will like it. If you don't like it then don't wear it. However, they are popular, and everyone I know tends to ask what they are for. Then that strikes up the conversation of what the band is for.

So we want to have key chains that are exactly like another sites? Tell me that when you are 50' away from that CCB key chain you can read it?

A bright color would be seen easier, and if it is a specific color combo then everyone from AZ will notice it. If you aren't from AZ you will probably ask what it is.

If it just says AZ on it most people will just think you are from Arizona, or something to that affect.

There was a thread in here I think by Melinda that said when she was at a tournament with her AZ jacket on someone thought she was an Arizona pool player.

I understand that there are pros and cons to everything, but my main objective is to keep the price down while being able to spot the keychain or wristband from across the room in a dim lit pool hall. It is an identifier to AZ members as well as being a conversation starter for people that aren't aware of AZ.

Let me ask you this question.................how many logos can you spot out in advertising because of the color pattern or style they use? Nike used a swoosh, Cingular used an orange X, Apple used an apple with a bite in it, Verizon used a red checkmark, Audi uses four rings, etc.

The point is that once people know what to look for it will be easily reconginzable to our whole forum. We just have to make a decision on what it is and get them in circulation. Once in circulation they will catch on like wildfire! LOL

Stickers/decal

I certainly don?t mind showing my support, and having a tool to meet other AZers, but a simple AZ sticker/decal for the Case would do.

I wouldn't put a sticker on my leather Instroke case, but then again some people wouldn't put on a wristband either! LOL

Whoops, I voted yes before I realized that even the keychains look like that livestrong shit :(


The ribbon keychains do not look like the livestrong stuff.

Im not talking a bumper sticker here. I have one of the white line sketch decals like you would see on the back window of a truck on my case from a old sponsor. Doesn?t look bad and I could find a space for small artfully done AZ.
 
AZB stuff

I wouldn't wear a wristband ever... why, I don't wear jewelry of any kind, it bothers me when I am playing.

Keychain idea, don't care for it.

A small identifiable logo type ID tag. Something that said AZB on it would work, and attach to a zipper pull on your case, and for pete's sake, if you don't have pockets on your case, you are overdue for a case update.
(maybe a round circle border in black, with a yellow 'AZB' in the middle for a tag, or another color combo, red, blue, and white work for me since my case is black, and they show up good).

I like the AZB t-shirt okay, although I think it needs 'dressed up' better on design, and more identifiable.
 
I dont have anything on my case now,
I would not wear a AZ wrist band,
I hate bulky bundles of keys and keychains,

I would however, if it were (I cant think of the word for it but lets say) not tacky, or gaudy. Put a small bagtag on my case, like the instroke comes with the real leather tag, just clip it on there.
 
Holly and I have discussed this issue when we were doing the AZB shirts. Holly has someone that she is dealing with who made the shirts, so I think that "key chains" will be offered sometime soon on this site in the market place. I doubt that wristbands will be there..
