I subscribe to two monthly subscription boxes (female ones, make up and skin care etc) Didn't realise you could get ones that are aimed at Nerds Yeah they're massive and sell millions each month One of the latest crates for nerdies is the Stranger Things one this month Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazzaswfc Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Tbf I understand the appeal . Could work as long as the items were not duplicated and not too costly although I guess with all current subscription type boxes they are sold in the thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) to make them profitable. The ones I get will All receive freebies from the cosmetics industry - mini sample for you to try and they hope you will start to purchase in the future.

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?) Doesi t come with a free play off final t-shirt ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 I'm trying to knock up a mock up of what would be an exciting Wednesday Crate - but struggling If any photoshoppers or creatives out there could mock up what a Wednesday crate could potentially look like (use the examples above for ideas on what's in em) then please do :) Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Quist Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I can understand the idea behind this and obviously targeted at younger members. As long as not used to get rid of rubbish stock coyuld see it being fun. Not certain if you could do an adult version. Some on here would be more able at this than me but could include things such as fluffy handcufffs edible underwear, masks, and ball gags. If box had a surprise element could put interest back into many lives but may impact on attendances but if club making money they would be happy.

darra Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 For years Baseball have been doing something similar. Bobble head figures of players, Backpacks. Hats BB caps gloves scarves towels etc etc. Mostly supplied by sponsors so at no cost to the team presumably. Toronto blue jays usually capped it at the first 20k fans in the ground.

Orlando_Trustful Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) They are great ideas. I saw them advertised for all sorts of stuff in New York recently. It is way more than just sports teams. It would be a fantastic thing for a club to do, say every 3 months or so. Imagine getting a box at the start of the season with a t shirt and a jumper, a scarf and hat ready for the winter, a book with info and facts on players for the coming season and some of these bad boys of the new players. You could also throw in all sorts like coasters, a mouse mat with the season fixtures on, mugs, ties etc for the family. It is the sort of thing I would sign up for even though I'm not a kid. However, you just know what it would be like if the club were left to organise it. A total shambles.
