Wristband Poll

[EricNY]

[EricNY]

Ok based on the new wristband topic to indentify us as naturists lets get some info

[krcNY]

I voted for clear

[nakednudists]

I voted for clear...no color=no clothes.
I can't wait to get one.

[FireProf]

Clear, yes...I'd wear it, not sure about my wife, she might from time to time, maybe not as often as I would. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

btw, thanks for posting the poll ercNY! http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Nudeinbama]

Clear, and non visible,just like we like clothes to been, not there.

I wouldn't wear one, the wristband fad is dying, they are kind of lame now, it seems like everyone has a band out for everything, it was better when there was just a one or two of them, when it accually ment something.

The "fad" wristbands may be dying but for those wristbands that do mean something, we shouldn't allow the meaning to die.

Young people get tired too easily and bored with fads very quickly nowadays. Though these young people are the main reason for many "fads" or trends, these young people don't realize that some of these so called "fads" direct our attention to causes that are very worth while and bring attention to those causes and shouldn't be allowed to fade away.

If you believed in a cancer cure, were against drunk driving or believed strongly in naturism, you wouldn't wear a wristband to show your commitment just because some of those your age now think it's lame or no longer a worth while cause or just a "fad." http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[dan t]

Clear, sounds good.



See Me

If anyone even notices that you have one, how would they know for sure what it means?

[nakednudists]

Simple Jon-marc, they ask and you tell them. After awhile, they will have an identity to them...as the yellow ones do, for example, or the pink ones.

[FireProf]

Jon-Marc,

I think the idea is for us to tell them what it signifys. Some will be very up front about it, others may be reluctant, but for the most part I think the idea is for those of us that purchase them is to identify other nudists in the crowd.

We'll all be checking each other wrists out from now on! Strange body part to watch as strangers walk by. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I can see it now....."hey pal, you checking out my wife's butt?" "No, actually I was looking at her wristband!" http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[DoctorSurferDude]

Awsome! Thanks ErcNY for the poll. It seems pretty apparent that I'm wrong about orange and the color is CLEAR or nothing at all http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Clear was my second runner up, but I was told it would be hard to read or notice....but....seems like a landslide favorite.

The slogan or saying I had in mind was "Live Naked"...kind of sumarizes the nudist lifestyle without stereotypical labels and at the same time a little tounge-n-cheek about the whole wristband fad.

Personally I think it's an effective way to promote conversations about nudism. It's not nearly as bold as a t-shirt, but people also can't pass judgement at a distance. It allows for conversations, questions, answers, and you can easily remove it if you see your boss around town http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

So I guess the idea is kind of out there now....free to steal. ...On your mark, get set, GO!! hehe

[FireProf]

I really think you've got a great idea here and we need to send e-mails to TNS and or AANR and see if this is something they want to have made and sell on their websites or INA can take the lead.

At any rate, there will be some initial costs. Do you remember any of the particular costs for purchasing 1000 of these bands?

If it's not too expensive, some of us here can venture into this, it doesn't have to be one of the established org's. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif


Update: I just e-mailed a company in San Diego Ca. regarding these. This company has a 2500 wristband minimum order. I'll get a quote and then start comparison shopping. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

How about alternating clear & orange beads? Or otherwise a group or pattern of orange beads in a line of clear beads.

Maybe the orange beads could have letters or symbols on them with some hidden meaning regarding naturism.

Again...just why do we want to do this?

It seems best suited for the activists among us, and they don't need a wristband to start that conversation. I doubt that I would wear one.

[FireProf]

Found another company in IL that only has a 1000 wristband minimum order.

I'll keep everyone posted. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif


Another update: The company in San Diego will sell a minimum order of 1000.

They are asking me whether I want the "Live Naked" imprinted or debossed. ????

I would think debossed....it is more expensive. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[FireProf]

Here's the initial quote! http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

Cost of 1000 debossed clear silicone wristbands is $1391.00 tax included, not shipping.

Looking at approximate cost per wristband not including shipping of about $1.50 a piece but that's not making any money off this, it's selling them for what it costs.

My wife loves nudism but I think I'd get an earful if I spent $1400.00 on this little venture! http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

It's still feasible for one of the large organization to do it. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Unwired]

1000 debossed clear silicone wristbands: $1391.

2 nights hotel stay after being kicked out of the house by your wife for spending nearly $1400 on wristbands: $200.

Starting a movement: priceless. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[Trailscout]

I wear a wristband with my car key when I am at nudist functions or when I go to the jogging trail to exercise. (I often wear only shorts without pockets).

I voted for clear because it would be less likely to leave a tan line.

[BackpackerBrian]

clear for me. Although a nice shade of green would be good too . . . the color of nature http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[nudeM]

Count me in as a clear vote. I think is would be nice if someone would take the lead and start a movement, but after looking at the price, one would surely want to have at least 1000 pre-paid buyers.

Sure, for $1400.00, plus tax and shipping and first-time set up charges, you are looking at an astronomical amount.

I have a connection and will proceed to check this out. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[DoctorSurferDude]

$1400 for 1000 wristbands is not a very good deal. But I've been pricing these companies for 2 months, I found some better deals. So pricing is definately something to consider. The goal is to break even without having to sell "all of them", yet keep prices reasonable.

Another issue is availability. Ordering 1,000 is the first step, but managing the commerce of it is the next step. My brother and I did web design for a few years after college, so our plan is to set up a simple e-commerce webpage where people who wanted a wristband could buy it with secured credit card processing using a company like PayPal linked to the product website. And that's an aditional cost per transaction.

So I still have to do a little math....but I think that they'd end up being around $2 per bracelet for a single order and closer to $1 per bracelet for larger orders. Larger corporations are probably not as poor and frugal as me, and probably would hire out tech work, so I dare them to beat those prices http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

-- Why would anybody want a bracelet? Personally I think it's a good way to share your interest in nudism passively, with non-nudists (good for non-activists who don't preach it). The purpose is to raise awareness. It allows for an exclusive conversation situation as opposed to a t-shirt or cap which may yeild no questions, only silent judgement. It's subtle enough that a person could wear it at will and not feel like a billboard for the nudist cause, yet obvious enough that some stranger is bound to ask out of curiosity. That stranger, a cashier, your nurse, a friend...they may just be a nudist waiting to happen. Raising awareness and finding new nudists, I think that's a good reason to want one http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I wear the "One" wristband (http://www.one.org). People ask me a few times a week what my bracelet means.

I just placed an order for 500 clear "Live Naked" wristbands with a fair-priced company. Should be ready in "3 to 5 weeks" pending they approve the word Naked...

How about a tan colour for the wristbands?
I would say a tan colour is close to the colour of skin. (we nudists display lots of this!!!)
The sun only deepens a tan colour.

Seriously, any colour is fine with me.
I would wear it.

Hey shay...You can buy six no problem, but if you want a half dozen it will cost extra

[DoctorSurferDude]

Thanks for your interest guys! http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

So...the company wrote back today and the order went through. They have to make a mold and then make the bands, etc. So they estimate that it will be 3-5 weeks before I get that big box on my doorstep.

ercNY, for sales and distribution Fresh Air and myself will get a domain name, make a website and link the website up to PayPal's secure online credit card processing services. So sales will occur online via the website and distribution will occur from my house I guess. I don't think these will sell in exuberant amounts, so I'll probably just mail the orders once or twice a week.

I think I'll go price some envelopes today and research shipping charges. So we'll make sure to keep shipping charges way cheap too.

[EricNY]

yea keep it way cheap....just in case Shaybare wants to buy a half dozen instead of six http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[puffledud]

I'm going to agree with Jennifer1 on this. There are so many wrist bands out that no one even notices them any more, let alone know what they mean. Yesterday I saw a yellow one (sorry, Lance) that said "shop-a-holic", so what's the point? People will know I'm a nudist by the lack of clothing that I'm sporting. And those people who I do not what to know will continue not to know.

That's cool, if you don't like the idea or want one, you don't have to buy one. This surely isn't a mandatory thing to do. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[Nudony]

I'll buy one for the heck of it. But I wonder, even if this gains in popularity, what the odds will be that someone will notice it at the supermarket, come up to me and say: "Oh...so you're a nudist too? Would you like to come over to my house next Sunday for a nude pool party!?" LOL!!!

However, I still support the idea.

[Sun_Lover29]

I love the idea. Being home nudists, the Mrs. and I are always wishing there was a way to meet new nudist friends. But we are not so open as to wear a T-shirt or hat that declares our postition. Maybe this will help. And in no way would I wear one because of a fad or being cool. Good Luck in your venture. We'll take 2!

I'm thrilled at the response. I'm not sure if my brother has read the thread yet, but it sounds like a lot of people have the right idea about how this could "work" to promote nudism in more than one way.

I wish I had them now to sell, but it's going to be a few weeks. I hope this level of interest will be present at that time too.

I guess bands are "typical" now. But, I still usually wear one. Perhaps they'll end up in the trash someday, but for now, wasting a dollar won't hurt my pocket.

Great idea for a wristband! I'll order a couple!

[nakednudists]

Hey shaybare, I would hold off on six or even a half a dozen. You might want to see how popular they are and then place your order. Start off with 2 or 3, and if you still aren't sure, you could always get a couple or a few if that doesn't work out. Which one do you like better shaybare-clear or no color? http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[nakednudists]

Why would anyone ask? I never ask about any kind of bracelet I see on someone if I even notice it.(Jon-marc)

I wear a purple bracelet for alzteimers (I know, I think I bashed that word), and people are always asking what it stands for. You probably don't see anyone wear one because you live in a nudist resort-they wear nothing. This is for mainly people in the textile world, wear clothes mean everything to many people. People are alot more noticing than you might think. If we get enough of them distributed, more will notice-hence, nudism goes wild!!!
Well, maybe one day anyway.

Hey Doc -

You know Christmas is coming up. Why not use it as a marketing opportunity for nudists to buy their nudist friends a bracelet??

Another venue would be to sell to the clubs, which can re-sell through their gift-shops. I'd be happy to talk to Paradise Valley and Paradise Lakes. Maybe other forum members could do the same???

What other oportunities are out there that you all can think of that would support this venture??

[DoctorSurferDude]

Definately Brian....the plan is to first make it available to those in this forum, then online nudists in general. After that we'll mail a sample and flyer to resorts, a few at a time. If after that point they are still selling in an excellent fashion, then we'll place an ad in the AANR bulliten and if that works than other magazines. Eventually Europe might show interest...or overseas....do you think they dig wristbands? who knows, maybe it's an american fad http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

You all have been so helpful with ideas. I wish I could just mail out free bands for everybody, but that would get expensive and I'm far from rich. I guess I could start collecting names of resorts where you guys who that you'd like to see the wristbands at. Then send the sample/flyer package to those resorts first, or to whomever is interested in talking with them....I gotta figure out some sort of payback incentive for those who would be so kind. But till then, Paradise Lakes and Paradise Valley are on the list.

Yep, the Europeans are doing the wristband fad as well, though not to the same extent as in the US. (See a Dutch one below.)

It's always good to have a member of a club/resort to talk to the club about selling the wristbands for the personal touch. Naturally I will help out in any way I can for such a great cause http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Thanks Doc for stepping up and getting it done. Let me know if there's anything I can do from here in TN to help. I can at least get info to the resorts here in TN when you're ready to do that.

[P.J.]

Interesting poll.

My vote was for the clear wristband. Apparently the majority agrees. Unlike the common colored wristbands, a clear one might provide us with the opportunities to break the ice and explain what nudism is all about...or let us keep those who would never understand guessing.

Once I suggested that we follow the example of recovering alcoholics who are in the 12-Step Program (attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings) who identify one another by asking, "Are you a friend of Bill W?"

We could ask a recognition question such as, "Are you a friend of Corky S?" or "Are you a friend of Corey M?"

Or else, decide on the appropriate wristband.

[sliver]

I also agree with the idea of a clear wristband. Make them available in the skinnydipper Shop as well as on-line and I bet you'd sell a bunch of them. I need two.

Hold on can someone fill me in on this wristband thing...I don't have the patience to go back and read all the post (i know, college student procrastination)...

Where can you get one? Or is this just a hypothetical topics?

[Zorro]

No one's mentioned this yet, but the only time one would wear this wristband is when one is clothed. There's little point in wearing one at a resort/beach/etc where everyone's obviously a nudist...

BTW, I voted clear & I'd wear one.

[NakedGary]

If you don't sell them all I'm sure that the INA store could make arrangements to take on or sell the remaining due to their large web presents and exposure.

Well, here is Belgium, and yes they are a big thing here in Europe. A lot of people wear them, going from kids to adults.

You can buy them everywhere, in stores and on several open markets.

http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif SWEET!! http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I'll be placing my order too. Great job, dudes!

[Naturist Mark]

Very cool. "Live Naked" is also the message on a T-Shirt design I did for NakedAmbition a couple of months ago. Great minds drive in the same gutter ... or something like that.

While I voted I wouldn't wear one, but they do make a great gifts for someone who would.

In addition to putting on a stupid throw-it-away bow on a package addressed to someone this up and coming Holiday Season, one could just as easily put a wristband on in its place, thus making if wrapped in a towel or some useful wrapping, and tied all together with ribbon or string, completely recylcable/reusable at a later date.

Thanks Doc/Fresh Air. I'll be placing my order as soon as the page is ready.

[Chance]

It's a great idea, but I hate even wearing a watch. It's a miracle I had flip-flops on when the avatar pic was taken. Roof was too hot for bare feet! http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Wife loves this stuff though and may buy one or more.

Just to let you know, I got my wristbands yesterday. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Hi, we just got our order of 5. They are great, thanks so much for helping us spread the great news of nudity.

[Nues]

I received my order today. Just wanted to say thanks again Doc/Fresh Air.

BTW, one of you guys writes like a doctor. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

My order was delivered today. If it doesn't fit or you don't like it on your wrist, it fits well on your ankle. [Live Naked Ankle Band][See image below]

Maybe you started something, with this "Live Naked" Band. [I left the wrist out on purpose] It can be worn at other places you guys, it should fit well and be about the right size. It’s very pliable and adjustable.

Not letting your minds wander is this "Live Naked" promotion, decoration, or attention for nudists and naturists, or a multipurpose band of many "Live Naked" uses or purposes mentioned in previous posts in this forum.

Rings/bands Mentioned in other Forum Posts (http://clothesfreeforums.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3400016152/m/9880099473/r/2960025673#2960025673)

Any other uses you can think of?

* A canned drink paper towel insulator/cooler holder band.

* A promotion band to hold your cigarettes and lighter together, or purse, cell phone etc.

* Place holder for napkin silverware at a nude or regular dinner or gathering.

As you might have guessed by now, the Doc and Fresh Air are twin brothers. Here is another news flash. Both of them are inturns and
would-be future doctors. Sawdust

[Nues]

Yeah, I've picked up on that through their posts. I just wanted to give them a little jab. I'm sure they will make fine doctors one day.

[Nudeinbama]

The wristband could also be used to hold your car keys secure to you when you have no pockets to place them in(nude of course). Just another great use.

Christmas is coming! http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif Use them to decorate your tree then let your friends and family take one home with them as a gift. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I'll be wearing mine when I run the New York marathon on Sunday 11-6-05 http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif Wife has nothing to say on this or any forum. But she did place an order like I feared. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[Naturist Mark]

I've got mine now too. Very nice!

It is hard to read the printing on them in their 'bare' form. But since the printing is recessed into the band it is very easy to color them - and it won't rub off. Use a color fine point 'sharpie' or similar marker for a great effect.

[Fresh Air]

Naturist Mark,

Yeah, that was the trade off for being clear that we didn't know about ahead of time. Though, it allows one to be a little more subtle in public if they so choose. The coloring thing is a great idea.

[Fresh Air]

Frank,

My deepest appologies. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

...and about the doctor writing. It wasn't ME!

Sam? ...have you been scribbling again?

Actually, mines probobly worse than Sam's. Thank goodness for the digital revolution.
