@owlstalk Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Some of you may already be familiar with Loot Crate subscription boxes. Basically you sign up and every month you get a box (crate) delivered to your home with surprise bits and pieces in there with a value of way more than your subscription payment. So for example you'd get a limited edition t-shirt, a beanie, a backpack, some books, posters, headphones etc etc etc Now have a look at the above photo that I've posted - if all that was Sheffield Wednesday related instead of the Call Of Duty and was great quality that's surely got to be worth stocking and sending out right? If I was a young fan of the club and something like that dropped into my lap each month I'd be well happy. Done right it'd sell via word of mouth. It'd need to be good quality and classy to work, but done right it'd do really well I reckon - either as a monthly subscription thing, or just once or twice a year (maybe end of season or start of season and then one at Christmas?)

Big Ron's Sovereign Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 How much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club could set it at whatever it wants to depending on the level of stuff they were going to put in the boxes. PS - you pay for them up front without ever knowing what's going to be inside them which is great and exciting as you never know what you're going to get!

I reckon if it was done right and aimed at mainly the younger fans it could be popular. But the quality and price would certainly need to be reasonable. Maybe add some limited edition stuff in there... not incorrectly printed photos or watches though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 My son might like that. He likes his Call of Duty. He had the right monk on the other night though when I survived Jason on Friday the 13th and he got slaughtered. As I pointed out to him, he's just rubbish when it comes to PS4. Cost him a quid too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This idea isn't for everyone but is absolutely massive in the states and now over here. The idea of getting a mystery surprise box of ltd edition merch is brill for many people out there who like the idea of it (or who have seen the stuff in the boxes that have gone out before) The idea would be to make them so brilliant that word of mouth convinces everyone to subscribe to them Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like those postcards you used to get as a kid and have them signed, I'm sure I had about 4 of Kevin Pressman for some reason. Every month might be a bit much but maybe every 3 months? So you're getting 4 crates throughout the year. Could also tailor it around a fans age range (kids and adults packages)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly yeah Exclusive and limited edition stuff packed boxes with signed stuff too - that'd sell, excite the younger fans, be a talking point, and win over some cynics of the megastore/retail dept Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weshallovercome Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 A great idea, Neil....... it's probably the only way of getting rid of the playoff final tee shirts and Danny Wilson mugs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompeyowl Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Sounds like a great idea until the loot comes and it's filled with scooter key rings, 'limited edition' balloons, a photograph of Lewis McGugan and a Play Off Final T-Shirt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
