Swag Packs

Currently, Cami and Josepha have the ability to send swag packs to WCs and meetupsMeetup Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month). Learn more about Meetups in our Meetup Organizer Handbook.: 100 or 200-count packs of mixed stickers and buttons, or 100-packs of lanyards. Iโ€™d like to propose some changes.

First! all the superdeputies will now be able to ship swag and lanyards to the WordCamps and meetups they are supporting. Thatโ€™s @brandondove, @kcristiano, @adityakane, @karenalma, @mayukojpn (plus Cami, Josepha, Andrea, and me). Yay for speedier swag.

Second! Right now stuff is packed like this:

  • 200 buttons and stickers (each, in one shipment)
  • 100 buttons and stickers (each, in one shipment)
  • 100 lanyards

I propose that we change our swag options to be packs of 250 and 500 rather than 100 and 200. Even a small WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what theyโ€™ve learned throughout the year and share the joy.

Since lanyards arenโ€™t likely to get used up or distributed over the year at meetups, thereโ€™s no reason to send more than they need, so sticking with 100-packs makes sense.

What do yโ€™all think?

(This is purely about packaging. What designs should be included will be coming up in the near future.)
