You can put your logo on a bunch of products for no upfront cost at all. There is a company called CafePress and probably others that do this as a service without the big setup and minimum runs that used to make such a venture cost prohibitive.

You create an account, upload your high resolution image and place it on all kinds of products. When a customer orders a product from your website, they take the full price that you set as your "retail price" and they deposit your "profit" into your account.

Say you have a coffee cup with your logo on it. CafePress has a base price to you of $8. So you set a retail price of $12. The customer pays $12 and CafePress prints it and ships it to them, and deposits $4 to your account.

I've used them and recommend them. Here is our store for AxTelevision

I've got a store with Cafepress also. In fact, now that you mention it, since we changed our website earlier this year I forgot to add a link to the cafepress store.

Hasn't done alot of business but costs $o.

Having products like this (and not forgetting to link them to your webpage) with your logo on them gives you instant credibility. This CafePress concept really makes you look big time like you've invested in a ton of products.

The customers that see these products and buy from you, do not know that it cost you nothing but time to set up your store. And they get High Quality products from them when they order.

It's a beautiful business model.

I had to comment on how cool Cafepress is. It’s a groovy thing to be able to sell products with your logo on them, but it’s good for other things too.

I had them send me a mini poster with my logo on it. That’s what I use during my shows. I laminated it and put it on the lid to my carrying case. That way everyone sees “KidsComedian.com” all during my forty five minute show.

When I do my lecture tour, I wear a golf shirt with my logo on it. That way, my shirt, my box, my lecture notes, and my products all have my logo on them. It creates the Brett Roberts brand.

And, here’s something you may or may not be able to use. I have several shirts with my logo on them. Sometimes I hire people to twist balloons or face paint. The people I hire all wear the shirts. That way everyone looks uniform and my web address is all over the place.

Here’s a link to my Cafepress shop:
