We will, finally, be releasing the NEW Classifieds section in the coming week. We will have to take the forum down for 24-48hrs to do this.

Once this project is out of the way, the next thing is for us to make a start on SportsMaserati.com branded items such as tax discs, key fobs, mugs etc.

Can you please give me an idea of what items you would be interested in. This will also co inside with the release of a new logo and branding.

What I am proposing to do is sell them as packs, so you pay a fee and you get a mug, car window sticker, key fob etc.

This will prevent the forum spending lots of money on various items and selling lots of one an none of the other.

May I suggest you look here to get an idea of the sort of thing can be offered:

http://www.4imprint.co.uk/tag/14/Pr...e|6593910484&gclid=CInH-460zLQCFYXLtAodCkoAxQ

All products will be very tastefully and minimalist designed.

Excellent news!
Personally I'd look at stuff like mugs and tax disc holders. Might well be interested in clothing as well, that will rather depend on the new brand / logo.

Good stuff, Matt.

You could also consider branded folders (I keep a folder for each car - V5, MOT, receipts etc.); mouse mats (this is a forum, after all); umbrellas; clothing - as above, depending on what they look like.

Monogrammed eyelid props please...





This is excellent stuff Matt thanks... Perhaps an eye to 100 years of Maserati too?

Excellent Matt. Looking forward to getting the classified section up and running, as I think that will bring more traffic our way.

As for forum goodies, then all of the above, however perhaps also something for forum meets such as flags and a couple of awnings? More expensive, but hopefully can come on the back of continuing forum sponsorship?

Great news, Matt, really well done. Although I don't know how we'll cope with the forum being down for a couple of days. We might all have to do some work instead!

I'd certainly be interested in clothing (with a discreet and tasteful logo, naturally! :)) T-shirts and zipped hoodies never go to waste.

Looking forward to seeing the new classifieds section, especially as it's the bit I sponsor too, exciting times. I've got the best stock I've ever had in at the moment too.
