Title: GS banners
Post by: nut465gs on May 07, 2014, 11:48:11 AM
I have a quote from the printer for printing 15 banners. The individual cost for each banner, shipping tube and estimated USPS shipping will cost me about $45. I would like to ask $50 for them. The extra $5 I plan to pass onto Loren to help defray the costs of keeping the website up and running. Should anyone feel compelled to add a little more onto their check, that also will be forwarded onto Loren. I would hope that this meets your approval and that you feel that the information and camaraderie you have received from the website is worth at least $5.

So far I have these people as interested parties. Loren, Milton, Mark, Alan, Jon T.,Paul, Dan H. Tom and Glenn. Anybody else? Please send me a PM (private message) with you name and address and I will have one set aside for you and shipped to you once payment of $50 has been received.

BTW, the banner measures 2' x 4'. It's printed on heavy vinyl with grommets at the corners.

Thanks,
John Egel

I had ten banners printed as that was how many people initially expressed an interest. They are in order; Loren, Milton, Mark, Tom, Jon T., Alan, Paul M, Dan H. (two banners), and Glenspgs. However, Boobybuick and Sodak65 had asked about Paypal payments, but I can not use Paypal. Therefore, I would like for those ten to let me know there contact info via Private Message. If you are no longer interested, please let me know and I will put Bobbybuick and Sodak65 next in line. If there are more people willing to commit to purchasing a banner, let me know. I can always have more printed in lots of ten. I currently have contact info for Loren, Milton, Mark, Paul and Dan H. and those banners will be mailed out today. Let me know how you like them.

Thanks,
John

Disregard the 70 in front of the banner. This banner is really nice. Top quality.

Thanks so much for the banners john. Sending the check out tonight. Here's a picture of it hung in my garage and then a pic of my dads banner in his garage.

Nice photos guys.   :thumbsup: Paul, nothing wrong with your 70 being featured.  :cheers2:

Still waiting for mine, but it will eventually arrive after Canada Customs does their thing with it. Glad to hear you've already received my payment John.  :occasion14: USPS provided excellent service in expediting it to you.  :headbang:

The last banner was shipped yesterday. Thank you all for helping out with this project. I only ordered ten banners printed rather than fifteen as that was how many people spoke up initially. Unfortunately, two more members have since indicated that they would also like to have a banner printed for them. Therefore, if I can get eight more members to commit to get a banner printed, I can have another run of ten printed at the volume discount. Just let me know.

Thanks guys for posting the photos of the banners displayed in your shop/garage. I have attached the Buick literature which was the inspiration for having the 2' x 4' banners printed. If you will notice, there is a 2' x 16' banner also used in dealership windows. I know that this banner would be quite a bit more expensive to have printed, but if I get enough members interested, I can get a price quote for ten banners and see if there is still an interest.

Were you looking to print the full 4 panels or just the long one?

This was originally meant to stick to a showroom window.

Were you thinking of printing this in paper, vinyl again or ?

Grommets for the wall?

Fold over top with a rope to suspend at ceiling height?

I could see a vinyl, single long panel, on a rope suspended at ceiling height tied to my garage walls over my 65's.

Just an idea I know.

Price could very easily be an issue.

Milton,

The 2' x 4' banner was made to be similar to those three smaller banners. I was thinking about a similar design on a 2' x 16' banner like what is also on that literature. Maybe change the type to say "The new 1965 Skylark Gran Sports are here!". Of course, it would also have the black and white checker flag and GS!. This would be printed on a vinyl banner with grommets. The cost, I would estimate, could be over $100 for each banner.

My banner was waiting for me this past Saturday when I finally got home from the road.  :occasion14:  Put it up on Sunday, and took this photo today.  :cheers2:

I suppose that I should also show a photo of the banner in my garage. I should explain the reason that my garage looks so sterile. We added a third car garage addition to our home. I just finished installing the cabinets and work bench. I'm using an extra hood as a bulletin board for photos.

If anyone else would like a banner printed for them, let me know. If I get eight more members interested, I can have another run of ten printed for a group discount. To the two member who would like one, I could have just two printed. However, the cost will be about $65. Send me a PM if still interested.

Thanks,
John
