One more. I have a memorial SS El Faro shirt made by a guy on Facebook. I wore it at sea on the second anniversary (Oct 1) this year. People want and buy things like this to honor and remember those who gave all in this industry. I think if you came up with a nice version from gCaptain, it would do well especially if you offered to set aside some or all of the profit to benefit the families. I know at least one family (Mike Holland) has a scholarship set up for aspiring young mariners, but I don’t know all the details.
By the way, John, thanks for joining AMMV. Worthy organization. I urge all of you to check it out. American Merchant Marine Veterans.
This kind of an enterprise (gCaptain) requires that you keep many balls in the air at the same time. Some ideas will work, others will fall away. Even the big boys with lots of money are feeling the pains of finding their customers, understanding the changing needs of those customers and maintaining those relationships. There grasshopper is the key.
Yeah, shipping is a problem but you should have got a coupon for $5 off future orders which is better than 20% off a pen.
If you didn’t get it then here it is “welcomeaboard!” (Note: this code is only good for repeated buyers).
P.S. I’ll lower the price of the pen for the next hour so you get free shipping too… But, as they say in the commercials, act fast to receive this limited time offer!
I’d buy a Capt Ron Shirt that had some of the movies best quotes under the picture. Like, “It’s the tides boss, sometimes they work for you, sometimes they work against you, and if I’m being honest I’ve had these problems with the tides before…” or “Nobody knows Boss…” That’s what makes those movies so great. It’s the dialogue.
Thank you Admin for the very cool and unique shirt! The comments section of this thread alone motivated me to purchase it. I wrote my password down too so I don’t have to ask for a new one every time I log in.
