Unprinted samples are available
Small quantities of unprinted samples of Motorcycle Coasters® are
available at
eBay.
Sets of 3 of the same color are $10.49 (as of the date of this newsletter).
Sets of 6 of the same color are $16.95. Shipping is free, including
international shipping.
These can be especially useful if you are in charge of marketing or advertising
for a club, business, or special event, and you know that getting a sample of
the Motorcycle Coaster® to show to people will help you more than any
website description or photograph. We have discovered ourselves that the
best way to get people to appreciate the Motorcycle Coaster® is to get
one into their hands. The small quantities available at eBay provide that
opportunity.
Or, you may just want a small quantity to use as drink coasters. With ten
colors to pick from (see our color samples
here),
there is bound to be one that coordinates with your decor or a color scheme
associated with your special event. If you’re buying them to use at home,
buy a few different sets. That way, when you get bored with one color, you can
change to another color. Or, you might rotate them seasonally, with
different color schemes for each season. Something like green, yellow,
pink, and purple for spring; yellow and blue for summer; red, orange, and black
for autumn; and white, red, and green for winter. Just an idea!
Is your image ready for a Motorcycle Coaster®?
Your image is the greatest investment in how your printed Motorcycle Coaster®
looks. There are two good ways to
determine whether your image is ready to use for printing:
1. Enlarge your image to 800%. Do this first. If, when you enlarge the image, the edges of the image are smooth, the image is print-ready. If the edges of your enlarged image are rough, the image is not print-ready.
2.
Print your image from your printer. If it
looks good when printed from your printer, it will look good when printed on a
Motorcycle Coaster®. If it does not look good when printed from
your printer, it will not look good when printed on a Motorcycle Coaster®.
It’s the old WYSIWYG rule (“what you see is what you get”).
Providing us with the vector image that’s needed to print your Motorcycle
Coaster® speeds up production and assures your finished product will look
great.

Is Your Image Ready?
Rush orders
Occasionally, it happens. Despite the best laid plans, a last minute order
for Motorcycle Coasters® is needed and a customer needs a “rush order”
status.
We don’t currently offer an upcharge for a rush order, though we are considering
it. It only happens rarely, and we try to accommodate customers in a rush,
within our means. We cannot always guarantee rush order status; it depends
on our production schedule at any given time.
With that in mind, the customer can also help the rush order process along with
one simple thing: be prepared. The two biggest things that slow down
production are not having the right kind of image, or payment for the order has
not cleared.
Once we have the right type of image and payment for the order has cleared, we
can then determine where we can fit the order into the production schedule.
That said, we’re pretty fast anyway!
Motorcycle Coasters®
are everywhere!
We want this to be YOUR section of the newsletter. Send us photos of the
Motorcycle Coaster® in use. If you use one or spot one in use, snap
a photo and send it to us. You may see one being used as a kickstand
support, or you may see one being used as a drink coaster. Either way, we
want to see! Give us a brief description of where you were when you took
the photo. We will use your photos in the next edition of the newsletter.
Of course, you can also send us public hyperlinks to your photos or albums at
Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, etc., which will work just as well.
Thanks again for your interest in Motorcycle
Coasters® !! So long, for now, until the next edition.
