Quick poll question:

If we were to offer bumper stickers would you put one on your car?

John: What are you planning for a design?

Essentially, it would be the logo... (top left of this page)

What I am envisioning is that people could stick them to their trucks / trailers / pumpkins when hauling to weigh-off sites.

I know I get a lot of looks on the way to a site. This would give onlookers a reference to where they can get info on growing them.

So from that perspective, I want it to be easy to read. Maybe we can slip in something like "I'd rather be growing"...

Post any ideas for a design here...

Two bumper stickers:
<<<Pass on the left....PUMPKINS!

Pass on the right.....SQUASH!>>>

I would definately be interested, I wouldn't be able to put it on my truck (my husband hates stuff stuck on the vehicles), unless I put a dent in the bumber and needed to cover it. However, I would put it at my desk at work, "I would rather be in the patch", than there any day.....Karen p.s. brings up a good question though from a new grower, how do you get a Big Pumpkin (like the 900 pounders I saw in the photo gallery) to a contest?

We ordered Bumper Stickers.

We went with standard stickers depicting our logo. They are 3.5 inches tall by 13 inches accross. We felt that there would be no way to put a slogan, and have them readable at a distance. So we sacrificed the slogan for high visibility.

They didn't come in yet, so details to follow on how to get one...

How much you going to charge for each John? Discount for multiples?

8/29/2001 4:28:46 PM

South Hill, Virginia

I think the slogan should be:

"Size matters.....BigPumpkins.com"

Thanks John for all your work. Hope they come in soon. Suzy in Sloughhouse.

For those who don't like bumper stickers, maybe those static stickers that stick to the windows? They go on and come off easily.

I like the slogan from "svrichb"
Size matters.....BigPumpkins.com

Svrichb,


How cool, that was the slogon we used on the very first "homemade" T-Shirts we made... (They're in the BigPumpkins.com museum now).

We decided to then go with the more family friendly version:

"This ain't no beauty contents"

BTW, not sure about price yet on the stickers....

How about "The biggest pumpkins on earth"? I was going to say melons but pumpkins are not melons, anyway saying melons might be going a little too far.
