Conference 7.286::digital

    	Try the bookstore in the Parker Street training center. PK03 is the 
    facility code I believe. I don't know if you can place internal orders there
    nor if this is actually run by Digital (i.e. have a DTN), however. 
    
    	Also, try asking someone in sales where the pens, notepads, etc.
    (used to?) come from.

    RE: PKO3 Bookstore
    
    They have closed down.
    
    And sorry, I can't recall any site that has an open store anymore.  MR1
    used to have one on a part-time basis but that was a few years back.
    

    The employee activities committee at MKO1 has a store that's open for a
    couple of hours a day two days a week, Thursday and Friday, I think.
    
    Send me MAIL on Monday and I'll check the times and get you a contact
    person.
    

    HLO has a logo store that sells items with the Digital logo.  Send mail
    to Honey SHARE::MAYO and she can probably tell you what is available.
    Also, the old ACTs had promotional material available.  Most of it was
    purchased locally from companies that specialize in those things.  If
    ordered in a reasonable quantity, the prices were very reasonable.  For
    example, I believe the gold plated mugs (NOT suitable for the microwave
    oven due to the gold plating) with the Digital logo cost about $5 each.
    
    Bob

    The store located here at MKO1 is open daily from 12:00 - 12:45PM.

    CXO3 has one run by EAC as well. It is open 11-1 on Fridays only..

    		Anyone seen the Alpha AXP T-shirts with the neon
    	orange and greens on black T's . Pretty sharp.....just
    	can't find the order forms anywhere........

    Call IMAGE FIRST, INC. 800-822-3440 or 617-969-1875.
    
    They are in West Newton and IO have sitting in front of me a small
    brochure with about 16 pages of Digital logo stuff, shirts, pens ,
    knives, etc. 

    
    
    		Image First is not stocking merchandise for individual
    	purchase per say, rather they cater to group purchases from
    	activity's directors, etc. They do have 3-4 items around,i.e.
    	mug , nylon bag w/shoulder strap circa 1990,and a t-shirt with new
    	logo (only the i's changed with new color scheme), and are working
    	on an offering of new ink pens.........
    
    		Just so we don't flood them with calls.........

    Geez, do these prices seem outrageous to anyone else?  Are we trying to
    get our name out there or not?
    
    
    
    Mike

    Mike, Most of these items are for sale only to DECcies. Generally to
    raise money to fund various employee activities. They're not being sold
    as freebies to give to customers.

    Thanks for the clarification, Alfred.

    The store mentioned in Notes .11 (PKO3) is closed.

I just checked the prices for logo sweats (shirts and pants) at ZKO - $15
each. Hooded sweatshirts are $20.

You should understand that most of these stores are run by volunteers,
working on their lunch breaks. That includes contacting vendors, screen
printers, etc. You can expect to see a wide variation in pricing, as well
as a variety of styles and colors. 

    I read the preceeding entries with (sarcasm intended) amusement.
    This is an (another) issue that I feel that DEC has (again) totally
    missed the boat on. Don't you people get it? Where are the marketeers?
    Where are the advertisers? Are they all ignorant or just incompetant?
    
    Granted, some customers have "20.10" rules about receiving "gifts" from
    vendors, but most do not. It the most inexpensive form of continuous 
    advertising you can have. Every time a customer picks up that coffee
    cup that sez "Digital Has it Now" on it, they will be reminded of that
    fact. Will we ever have "it" again? Not unless we wake up. All the
    politically correct bullsh*t in world can make up for missed
    opportunities, and we seem to missing them by the truckload.
    
    I for one would (and have) given away "trinkets" to good customers out
    of my own pocket, and still enjoy the goodwill of those people. I
    wasn't trying to influence a purchase or buy votes, just good
    old-fashioned "Hey - these are cool (object-name-here), want one?".
    
    So, here's the plan. "Offically licensed, for sale to the public,
    advertised in paper media, Digital Logo'ed stuff", AT A REALISTIC
    PRICE! 
    
    Handle that.
    .mike.
    

    Well, the logo store at HLO just closed 'for a while' but I believe the
    one in SHR is still operating.

    re: .17
    
    That's exactly what I'm trying to do.....
    
    re: just about all
    
    I've gotten mail from several folks trying to help me out, but I will
    be on the road for the rest of this week at a customer site. I will be
    following up with all of them and will post my results here. Thanks to
    all who replied to me, either via mail or this note. Once again you've
    demonstrated what Digital's more valuable asset really is.

    I was talking to a friend the other day at the Student Services Window
    at PKO3.  There was a large box of mechanical pencils with the DIGITAL	
    logo imprinted... and she was just giving them away.  She said some
    sales person dropped them off (she mentioned she had about 8000 of
    them) because they were no longer the "correct" logo.
    
    For YEARS I have tried to get DEC to include some trinket like this in
    the student kit boxes our customers receive (yes...even our DEC
    EMPLOYEE customers)... NO DEAL!  TOO EXPENSIVE sez they!  
    
    I'd bet any single one of the Customer Training Instructors (now DLS)
    spend many more hours face to face with more customers than practically
    any sales rep.  They give these things away... why not us, too?  What
    an opportunity missed to put just a small reminder to the many students
    (many of whom are decision makers in their own companies) who pass
    through the various training centers.
    
    We can toss them away because the color is wrong... but, we can't
    afford to give them away to our customers.

I get all of my Digital logo and AXP stuff from Recognition, Inc. They are in 
Connecticut and their number is 800-933-5525. Tell them I sent ya.

Jim

p.s. They are having a sale on some of the obsolete ALPHA stuff.

    >p.s. They are having a sale on some of the obsolete ALPHA stuff. 
    
    As a point of clarity, the sale items contain version 1 (pac man) of
    the logo. Since we haven't reached sizeable mass in installed base yet,
    I doubt that customers will notice or care.
