Get the first piece of AR swag ever made

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with ActiveRain

(Is that how you spell swag?)

A few months ago we hired an awesome graphic designer. He was toiling away at the massive compound one mile from our office in Redmond WA where his talents were being sucked from him. (yes, that compound, that company, that Redmond WA). You have seen some of his work on the new localism and the New new localism.

His latest project has been to design a Localism/AR land rush T-shirt. I'm not at liberty to show you the design just yet, as it is TOP Secret. However, I am at liberty to let you know:

Every ActiveRain member that sponsors a minimum of 5 communities/cities on the day their state Land Rush takes place will receive a free Localism/AR T-shirt.

(for members in the states/provinces that went Monday, or Thursday in WA, and may have sponsored one or two more just to get the shirt, you have all day today to get your total to five)

This is the first time we have produced anything like this. What can you do with your new Localism/AR T-shirt? The possibilities are endless..........

  • You could wear it......I know, I know....how boring.
  • You could use it as a flag to surrender to the British
  • You could tie it around your head in the last mile of your marathon to keep the sweat out of your eyes (or like me, in the first 100 yards of your 100 yard dash)
  • You could send it back to us, have us autograph it, then burn it as a sign of your frustration at not having 'that great post' you wrote get featured
  • You could cut the sleeves off it, cut a few hole is the back and rip it off in your next backyard wrestling match ala Hulk Hogan (that one was for you Sardi)

I'm serious, the possibiities are endless!!!

Yesterdays Land Rush went better than we anticipated. Our members secured over 1300 of their favorite communities. It was very exciting for us to see there are people out there that are starting to understand our vision for Localism. Jorgen, the lead developer on the project, is now on to programming his butt off to add the cool tools and features that will truly make Localism the World's first Neighborpedia and give you what you need to engage and connect with your communities.

I want to personally thank everyone that participated yesterday and last Thursday. Your support is not lost on us, we appreciate it more than I can put into words. Thank you!!

BOB - I hadn't planned on sponsoring any communities because I was waiting to see what the value is.  Now I can comfortably spend $45, knowing full well that if no business comes from the sponsorship, that I at least have a t-shirt for my troubles.

This will be the most expensive t-shirt I ever bought!  The good news is, I have sponsored all 5 of the cities in our county so no one else can get them.  The bad new is...our whole county doesn't even have 40,000 people.  Let's see....$1 per person per month...this is deductible right?  (Still hoping us country bumpkins will get a break on sponsoring a small county.)   Regardless of the cost, it's a great thing you're doing here and I'm glad to be a part of it all.  I'm already getting a few locals mentioning finding me on localism, and I'm just getting started.  Oh, and I'll definitely need a size large.

Also Bob, will there be a special edition peach shirt for Crouch?  We discussed putting the pit stained peach shirts on ebay...I bet one w/AR logo on it would bring us even more money!

Firstly Bob, I agree....you should all use your t-shirts to surrender to the British :-P

Secondly, how can I get a tshirt? I can't sponsor a community! ;-)
