noble is mostly doing a dust on shitsites and shitshops, but I already sent our new stickers to "the BitStickers" so that was a good idea. Other stuff will come with wordpress Nxt plugins

I think without a booth or naked ladies it is quite impossible to giveaway stickers during regular business talks with potential contributors
Who needs stickers when u have naked ladies? 
Nope, business cards are much more useful in a face-2-face. Swag is always nice, tho,
Pens (Admiral.fus idea, methinks) would be good in an f2f situation.
I'd also like to use stickers for guerilla marketing (ie sticking them everywhere, just to make Joe Public think about us a bit) but I'm holding back on that at the moment. Like to know waht other people might think about it, though?
Anyhow, I'm gonig to sneeze a lot and then upgrade my VPS.....
EDIT: on the subject of marketing, have a look at this, which some random guy posted on the main BTT thread a day or 2 ago:

In a world of scam/shit coins, these guys are standing out from the crowd with marketing, even though their product is no better/worse than DOGE, for example.

yes, moo are the best... Let's see what bring those Damelon's friends. If they provide beautiful designs, we should definitely jump on moo only 
I still am at the Frankfurter Messe, but have had a call from him.
We will call when I am back in Amsterdam on wednesday and I will ask him for some quick designs.
After that I will meet with his partner and we will work on a complete design that is coordinated in apparel and cards etc.
Some articles are assigned, but anyone can also suggest a new topic! We need to get attention of university and business guys now:

There is a little bounty for new websites, but we will probably have a fund for maintaining our websites. What do you think about this?
- spend 10.000 Nxt for updating all websites / month
- spend 10.000 Nxt for updating all social medias / month
(right now most of this job does QTBC, with some twitter, reddit and VK support)

Hey guys, due to very limited available free time I will unwatch this thread - in case someone needs me about something PM me.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Guys, consider http://www.moo.com for some future prints. They have marvelous business cards and other stuff like mini cards with different designs for every card. We could print different QR codes on every mini card for example. Moo quality is quite nice.

@Mario: yep, Gill sans was used for most NXT promo material up until now, but Fatih used BankGothic on his new box-of-chocolates design.
Fatih is a 3d guy but no designer, especially no typographer (no offense, Fatih. 3D is your thing, it looks good). The font looks super techy and has no good readability. In short: I don't like it
You're right. I'm not a good 2D designer. But I did my best.
Next time I will use Gill Sans. I think it's too late to change it now.
Thanks.
On the subject of the bumper stickers, I've made a mistake with Vistaprint. Ooops....i'm an idiot.
I ordered stickers from them 2 years ago at a great price: 100 stickers for 100 euro......the current price is €363 per 100 which is very expensive for a giveaway item. I'm going to look for other printing options.
Could i have some feedback on the price ? And on how much we are willing to spend on stickers/promo stuff?
I'm slightly sick, got a cold, I'll be not very present on the fora today...

We now construct a new Nxt Chinese forum www.nxts.info in order to promote Nxt forward in China and attract more newbies.
And the China web www.nxts.org will continue to serve as the wiki one.

I'm making some NXT branded mini computer cases for conferences and anyone else that may like one. I realize mini computers may not be relevant soon but it might help us in the short term.
I'll post some prototype pics when it's done. I'm not expecting any payment but if they are useful then that would be appreciated.
In future, the mainstream might buy a NXT branded computer because that's the crypto platform of their choice and they are happy to leave the node up and running 24/7 to support the network. But most buyers would need to justify their purchase, so if they could also do their email, browsing and file storage etc then that would make a lot more sense.
I think ArkOS + Nxt could be a fantastic choice, it is free and very independent I'll post some prototype pics when it's done. I'm not expecting any payment but if they are useful then that would be appreciated.

@Mario: yep, Gill sans was used for most NXT promo material up until now, but Fatih used BankGothic on his new box-of-chocolates design.
@Fatih: Love the images, very, very nice.
BUT....I've just checked the sizing for Vistaprint and they are slightly wrong for the bumpersticker format.
Stickers will be 279mm x 76mm when printed, which means that u need to take your images from 2835 x 6xx pixels, up to around 2835 x 810 pixels. Best way to do this is NOT to resize, but to add some more background to make the images deeper (more vertical).
If u can deal with German, heres a link to the Vistaprint up load interface for the stickers:
http://www.vistaprint.de/gallery/AGQBAAABAI8AAAA=/au%C3%9Fenaufkleber-rechteckig.aspx?txi=15107&xnid=UseCasePage_Bumpers+Stickers+%28linked+item%29_Stickers+%26+Decals_Labels+%26+Stamps_All+Products&xnav=TsrImage
I can maybe do another check for if u can get back to me fairly soon....
Image resolution seems good, btw, i'm seeing 72pixels/inch, Vistaprint aren't complaining.

I'll be in Prague on Monday, so I'll try to print something there. + I am reposting the stickers to the nextcoin.org thread
Sweet, I'll repost anything u miss, and get some hosted on ImageShack for the full versions, then anyone can get to them.
However: walking into a copyshop and getting these done could be expensive and/or more complicated than u might expect.
I know Vistaprint are good on price and reasonable on quality, but if u know a good copy shop in Prague, go for it.
Just don't want to miss the opportunity with Berlin.

No problem. I'll be AFK soon , back in about 5 hours.
Remember, don't do a complete resize, just add more top and bottom borders.
@salsa:
We need to get whatever designs we decide to use on to Vistaprint today, or it's going to be late for the Berlin conf.
Have u got someone to take responsibility for uploading, ordering, paying and taking delivery ?
