I don't know about you all but I would like to see some new merchandise from SNC. I would really like to see more variety and designs. Right?

whoever thought of the charms idea- brilliant and the musical cards- i would definitely buy one and i normally don't buy those things and @annrnic thank-you for the laugh and @jillyj98 thanks for starting this thread
New trading cards.
....with bubble gum. (I almost said kittens.)
Anybody know if there are new trading cards out yet? Haven't been in the store recently, so I was just curious.
As far as the city charms go...they do return to alot of the cities each year, so it may not be that much of a problem. I'm sure they have had stock for more than a year. Since they are small, it might not be too much trouble to cart around! For those cities where they may not return they could always buy the yearly tour ones!!
Another idea:
I would like a few of those musical cards - For birthdays...and especially for Christmas! Since it is Vanentine's time I could go for one with the SNC rendition of Beber's: Baby, baby, baby...that's nine times we just sang "baby"!!! I'd get a kick outta sendin' that to people! (Plus it is short and sweet!!!)!!
sounds like some really good ideas. I like the brochure idea and the charms, but any new items would be great, as long as they are available for the UK fans too.
Yes, I agree that a more extensive range of merchandise would be welcomed. At the Bournemouth concert last night, we were limited to the CD and T-shirts. I have the CD already, and I don't think that it would do much for SNC's brand image if a 59-year old groupie was seen out and about in their T-shirts. In fact, I would expect Jerome's street cred amongst his brothers to plummet to absolute zero!!!! How about offering a glossy programme with information about all the band members? The show was great, though.
I'd have to buy a charm for each guy, then maybe a couple extras of my favorites. Oh, but we aren't supposed to have favorites, are we? ;)
Fab4tune.... I understand your point about the city charms, but maybe if they offered them at the show in limited supply maybe like only 50 on hand for each show until they are able to get the word out for the charms and if by chance they have extras afterwards then they can offer them in the online store for those who might have wanted to get one buy didn't have the money at the time. Maybe the same with the charms for the individual guys.
I love the charm bracelet idea too but don't think they'd make charms for each city the group performs in only because they would be stuck with the ones that don't sell. The other individual charms including general tour charms (like "Spring 2012 Tour") would be awesome to add.
I think from a marketing standpoint/perspective they have to consider what products will sell to the average fan attending a show and what would interest us *Chasers*. We're much more interested in merchandise focused on the individual guys & individual events whereas casual fans just want a general souvenir from the show. Hopefully we can show them we have enough power in numbers to purchase the more specific items that Chasers want and crave!
Oh.... I would love a knit hat for my son and scarves would be so cute!!!
Thanks GML! I would definitely love to have a charm bracelet... although my best friends already think I am a little insane when it comes to SNC and they just don't understand it. Of course they have never seen the guys in concert so they don't know what they are missing. I could probably convince one of them to go, but the other one won't even listen to them... smh
Coffee mug and/or beer coozie with "Straight No Chaser...it's an a cappella thing"
I have an SNC bottle opener/key chain from AC - it's very nice! They should bring it back!
I still want another baseball hat - and they could do knit hats for winter! Might as well throw in scarves, too.
@mama2josh23 I love your suggestion for the cities on charms for the bracelet - I didn't think of that! What a great idea! Some people will buy multiple bracelets - one with just the cities of all the concerts they have been able to attend!!!....memories!
I'd like to suggest one of those individual can or bottle "thingies" (I'm so technically minded?!) that keep your beverage cool. I imagine they would be quite inexpensive to produce and certainly easy to cart around! They would be Great advertising and conversation starters (getting the word out!) and something everyone could as well as practical & affordable......add a few to every order!
Great thread,@jilly98!!! Thanks for starting it!
The Charm bracelet idea would rock. A silver link bracelet with a permanent SNC charm already attached. Then have a couple of charms that would be descriptive of each of the guys so that you can pick your favorite charm. Then also some general charms, microphone, a youtube charm would be fun too, that way you could also add on a charm from your city (or the city of your favorite show).
Dottie, I like your ideas for the bracelet too!
I would love to see some new merchandise too. I go to the store frequently, hoping to see something new, that I just can't live without...lol. I would love to see the hoodie in more sizes. I really, really, REALLY want a hoodie....how about in some larger sizes? There are lots of plus-size Chasers and we all want to wear our Chaser love too. I'm also interested in a charm bracelet....that's a great idea! We crave new merchandise...if you sell it, we will buy it!! Just my humble suggestions...thanks for starting this discussion Jill!
Oooo, hey! A charm bracelet! I hadn't heard that idea before. With collectable charms that you could add each tour/season? That would be great! They could do the ten different mics in their logo, releasing one at a time....each of the guys names on a heart or circle shape so you could add them all or just your favorite...
What about a bead? There are lots of ladies who wear Pandora charm bracelets or something like them that would add a bead that said "SNC." For that matter, the bead could go on many things...I think crafters would love that.
Guess I should scroll down & read all these comments at some point to get the scoop!
@KristinC. I just now saw your May 16th comment - LOL! Too funny!
@Fab4tune - Bobbleheads - what a fantabulousw hoot that would be! (Wish I'd have thought of that!!) I've never bought one in my life but would buy all 10 or 12, for sure! Love, love, love that suggestion!
I sure hope they can get going on these suggestions, as they are really great, and we are HUNGRY for some more merchandise!! (Although I can't afford the individual merchandise suggested!! for all ten!!)
Posters, Bobbleheads, and Charm Bracelets...Oh my!!! PLEASE !!!
I'm definitely all for the jewelry ideas -- especially the charm bracelet that someone mentioned a while ago!
I would be all for braclets or necklaces, zipper pulls, hats, post its (although I don't know if I would ever use them... lol), key chains, magnets and definitely a canvas tote bag. I don't know if I would ever buy a mousepad since I can take one of my pictures from the concert in Baltimore and have one made. I also think that as much as I love "group" merchandise, it would be nice to also have individual merchandise as well. Everyone has (secretly or not) has thier favorite guy(s). :)
Chris W. needs to check out this discussion. Awesome ideas posted here all year long! Thanks to @jillyj98 for starting the thread.
I have SNC post-it notes from my first concert in 2009. They were handing them out free as we left the venue! I won't use them now that I am a raving Chaser though- don't want to use them up! At least not until they start making them available again.
BIGGER SNC car magnets. The ones available are too small.
I need a new hat! I love the one I have and really, really want another one, or two.
Yes, we Chasers are hungry for any collectible memorabilia from SNC. Bracelets sound great, Bobbleheads, post it notes and tote bags rock. Oh where oh where will the money coming from???
Lynnette, I know, I bought the black shirt, and noooo way was it xlg....was more like a medium. Even though the shirt is strechy, it doesnt fit. :( ...Hopefully when they come to Philly in April, they will have correct sized merch.
I thought the Webcrew said that the black "Back to the Shore" t-shirts would be sold through the website once their run in AC was over. That never happened. The sizing on the t-shirts sold at Harrah's ran very small, otherwise I would have bought one there. I really loved those shirts. I would definitely buy 2 or 3 if they were available again (in bigger sizes). Are the "I'm A Chaser" t-shirts going to be offered again? I would also buy:
1. Bobbleheads
2. Key Chains
3. Coffee Mugs
4. Post-it-notes
5. Magnets
6. Cardboard Cut-outs ;-)
7. Tote Bags
I just hope there is plenty of merchandise at the uk shows. Mugs, key rings, magnets, and a t shirt that has their pics and comes with a sharpie so they can sign it for you would be awesome!
I got the calender! But I noticed that what they sell at the shows is not the same as what is online here. I would certainly like the two to match.
That is a fantastic idea! I would totally get all ten!!
Just realized today that we Chasers must have Straight No Chaser BOBBLEHEADS - I think all of us would collect all ten (maybe they can make 12 styles for all the Blake & Kirby fans) - What do you all think
I'm sure Atlantic Records marketing / merchandising could easily get these made of our handsome group members & K-Merch would sell out at the shows
Thanks, Eileen. These things don't always occur to me. What is this site doing to my keyboard? I'm not having trouble typing elsewhere.
