Confused « Thread Started on Today at 12:35pm » -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am confused. I thought this message board was for merchandise only. Now it's getting all cluttered up with other stuff that can already be found on the bands message board. Why? Hopefully I can answer this good for you nvrenuf. If you have any specific questions or comments, please don't hestitate to offer your opinion, it is greatly appreciated! 1. "I am confused" I'm sorry your confused. If there is any specific thing your confused about, please PM me, and I'll try to answer you to the best of my ability. 2. "I thought this message board was for merchandise only." When I started this forum, our ideas and thoughts for this place was not publicly noted. Merchandise from bands are sold on the Internet from small bands just starting out, to famous larger bands that are established. Since the Lovehammers are a larger established band, their audience, their fans, their customers, and their base for selling such Merchandise is on a larger scale also. The eStore doesn't just want to cater to one specific group, we want all groups, all consumers, and all people to feel comfortable, and to feel secure in ordering from this site. This store IS about the Merchandise that is sold by the Lovehammers. ..... QUESTIONS FOR DINO- Dino is handling all the questions that are brought here. That section is for him to answer only. ..... Comments/Suggestions-2 Sections within, one for comments and suggestions. The other for Suggestions for MERCHANDISE. Not suggestions for Tours, Chat, Music, or anything else, just merchandise. ..... Promoting The Store: Once again, an established band as the Lovehammers are, still rely heavely on fan support, ideas, and contributions. Part of those contributions arise from sells, either it be CD's, DVD's, Clothing, or Street Teaming materials. Ideas and thoughts for bringing in more consumers is simply a good business choice, financially and personally for the band. Either these promotional avenues arise from myspace banners, to newspaper articles, to word of mouth, to just about anything, to get the word out about this phenomenal band! ..... EBay- Dan Howard uses his abilities as seller for the Lovehammers to sell their merchandise from time to time. At times, he may have up a special item from a Lovehammer up for sell. This being said, the money goes directly to the Lovehammers, so this link is just to provide information to consumers, shoppers, new fans to check out what is out there for purchases. I DID add two new sections today. All for promotion of this store and it's Merchandise. One being .....Questions About the Lovehammers. I've listed each members name, and left it up for the fans to ask what is concerning them. Reasonings: A person, a possible buyer, goes on EBay to buy an item that they want. Do they just see that item and buy it? I wouldn't. I'd want to know about who is selling this item. Dan has information about himself, and explains with every sell, that all procedes go directly to the band. You can also see his sellers record, and his incredible perfect responses from previous buyers. As with this store, a new consumer comes here, has a question about the band, there's a place to ask now. There is ALSO links to fans sites at the top of this page. We have and will continually cater to new shoppers as well. People that are NOT familiar with Message Boards, and there are ALLOT of them, but still want the Merchandise! .....The other section I added was for Current News/Information/Happenings. These are directly linked to supporting the Merchandise, and the Band. Simple. Get more people to love this band, which isn't hard to do, get more Merchandise sold, hence a happy Lovehammer! Now it's getting all cluttered up with other stuff that can already be found on the bands message board.....Once again, a large portion of our registered members, and guests are NOT familiar with said Message Boards. Coming here will allow them to purchase the merchandise, feel comfortable in doing so, and hopefully they will become supporters in different ways for the band. This explanation is detailed. Please appreciate the fact that I took my time to answer you the best that I could. I'm here for you, the band, and for anybody else that may have a concern not only about the Merchandise, but about the band. If you are still having comments or a complaint about your said "clutter", then please discuss it further with me via PM's, either here, at LH.com, or at MartyCasey.org. Where I'm also a Moderator at. Thank you again for your concern, hopefully this helps. Merry Christmas hd..... Nancy

Thanks, Shy! We're hoping that because you don't have to register to post here, that people who are not familiar with the other boards or message boards in general will post here to find out about merch, the band, and more.

Nancy, I just want to say you did a very thorough explanation. I just wanna add my own lil' tid bit. Here is the place where all fans, those familiar and not familiar with message boards, can go straight to the questions and answers they themselves may be having or looking for. It's to the point, fast and convenient if someone is googling LH merchandise and have questions or need answers. Also great, like Nancy said, for the fans to be involved and give their suggestions for items they would like to see available. Everyone has so many great ideas and have really given a lot of wonderful suggestions. You all rock!

I just want to say this Board is awesome! It covers absolutely everything a person needs to know. Whether it be a new fan just shopping around, or we oldies being included in the growing demands of new merchandise ideas that the band and fans will profit from. The setup of the Boards is so perfect. I especially like the added links at the top of each page! Great job Nancy, Cee, and everyone involved. AND there is so much to do here too! Contests and referral points, awesome!

Great job on the store and this board, guys!
Hmmm...win a phone call with a Lovehammer of my choice. My family does not have a good history with phone calls with certain Lovehammers (hee), but I'll give the contest a try. If I win a certain little fan will have another shot at her big moment (and I may take a minute or two for myself. lol)

I have a comment about the images used - I mean, you see the shirt designs, but what does the shirt look like? For the hoodie you get a full image, and that's pretty nice. I think some people would be more inclined to buy if they knew what the shirt looked like before they committed to click - there are way too many 'styles' of T-shirts out anymore. You've got your retro-ringer (sexy), standard men's tee, women's cap sleeved tee...it goes on and on.
Say a small graphic that has a 'front' and 'back' shot photoshopped together of the entire shirt and the option to zoom in on the actual logo/printwork/etc?? Unno, but it's a thought.

That is a great idea. In fact, that is what we're trying to get with this month's contest ( click) We would like some pics of the clothes on real life people. The images that are on there now are the only ones we have available right now. You can click on the thumbnails now to see a larger view of the artwork. I will go back tonight and add some more description details to the clothing though. That is a good idea. We got the store up so quickly that I forgot to go back and add more details. Thanks for the input!
