A one-place stop for the best prices on Ron Paul materials. Prices listed in bold are from companies that I have successfully done business with. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of prices not in bold. Prices in italics are from companies that others have successfully done business with. Prices that are neither in bold nor italics are from companies that nobody has yet successfully done business with.

Please note that many materials can now be purchased through the official campaign store here (http://www.ronpaul2008store.com/servlet/StoreFront). All purchases will count as campaign contributions, but at the moment, it is not clear what percentage of the price of official campaign store items will go to the campaign. For example, if you purchase one campaign button for $3.00 and pay another $2.00 to have it shipped to you, the purchase will count as a $5 campaign contribution. The production cost of one button is probably about $0.10 to $0.20, and let's say it costs $0.50 to mail the button; your $5 campaign contribution will probably net the campaign a true contribution of a about $4.30. This means that if you're able to purchase that same button for less than $0.70 elsewhere, that may be your better option, as it'll allow you to make a greater donation to the campaign, and avoid counting the cost of the button towards your max campaign contribution.


Balloons

$0.16 per balloon at kardwell.com (http://www.kardwell.com/balloons.htm) (5,000 one-color 11" balloons, two-sided, does NOT include shipping

I've found this site (click me) (http://www.customink.com/lab/?E=arakiel_2000@yahoo.com&F=ronpaulrev&BN=true) that allow me to print the Ron Paul Revolution (black and red) on the front and back of a white T-shirt for $4.59 (1,000 shirts)

They're local. I'm going to check with them specifically to make sure that:

A. I get the prices right for other people
B. That they really want to go in this direction - we got the hookup from one of our members.

And they are on sale for $8.25 each, 4 for $33, or 12 for $99. Check out the specs and additional costs on their website -http://www.queensboro.com/7500P.html

Free Market Wins Again! Ron Paul Sticker Price Slashing!!

I just relisted my stickers on Ebay for $125 after shipping for 1000 (down from $175). Available to anyone, not just organizers. Competition is getting heavy over there, but hopefully I won't lose money. Either way, Ron Paul supporters win with low prices.

Check out ATAGSales on Ebay or go here:

I've been thinking an excellent idea would be to buy a bunch of decals (that are maybe half the size of a typical bumper sticker) with the "Who is Ron Paul?" meme on it and start plastering those things all over the place at bus stops and other public places where they are likely to be seen by lots of people. Does anyone know if there is a vendor producing something like this at an attractive bulk price?

Also, can you list my stickers next to Tom's (RonPaul_Stickers) we are now matched at $124.50. Plus, our stickers don't look the same anyway, so maybe a little variety?

Anyway, only asking. I can't lower my price on the listing until the listing ends once I've already sold some out of the listing, so if he drops below me by a 50 cents like he did last time then I'm stuck for my 7 day listing period before I can readjust the price.

Here's the link, but you may just want to say "ATAGSales on Ebay" though, as the direct links change every time I relist the auction.

Yeah, I haven't found anything cheaper yet than that.

I placed an order for 10,000 trifold brochures, using the official Ron Paul trifold fliers. I splurged on #80 paper for an extra $150 or so. Shipping was about $150 as well, and I think the total was about $700 for 10,000. I should receive them by the end of this week, in time for July 4th :)

$0.12 per bumper sticker at wizardwatson's eBay listing (http://ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=4048) (1,000 vinyl bumper stickers, includes shipping)




Hey! The high quality vinyl bumper stickers I offer are as low as less than $0.10 each (actually $0.0967 each) before shipping when bought in the double gonzo pack of 2,700. And not only do I have the absolutely lowest bumper sticker prices, I have the lowest shipping and I offer the convenience of a full range of choices on the size of the bumper sticker lots, i.e. 130 ct., 250 ct., 500 ct., 700 ct., 1,000 ct., 1,350 ct., and the double gonzo 2,700 ct. Anything above 2,700 is by quote - I will not be undersold!

http://content.onlineagency.com/sites/38289/images/rpp-bs10.5-x-3-no-legal.jpg

Please note: I do not have any ebay listings - the bumper stickers I produce are listed on ebay by others. The bumper stickers I produce match the image above and are an unofficial, unauthorized direct knock-off of the bumper stickers being distributed by Ron Paul's Presidential campaign. This artwork is the same artwork Ron Paul has traditionally and successfully used in all his Congressional races.

I also have the absolute lowest prices on WEATHERPROOF* coroplast 18" x 24" yard signs. (*as opposed to weather 'resistant' paper card stock signs which begin to deteroriate in a matter of weeks and definitely will not survive until November of next year whereas coroplast definitely will last two winters minimum).

So for the best values anywhere on the highest quality bumper stickers and yard signs, I've got 'em!

I am the owner of LMNO Tees (http://www.lmnotees.com/). We've been in business for 4 years now printing mostly our own line of funny shirts. Originally, we did custom printing for schools, teams, churches, etc.

Reading this thread I've seen that people are buying shirts by the 1000's, which is a LOT of shirts to have to buy to get a good deal. And since I'm deeply committed to Ron Paul's mission and want to help, I'm going to offer my services pretty cheap for the smaller orders. If there are several groups that decide to use me, I'll try to drop the prices even further.

This offer will include by default Hanes Authentic brand t-shirts (http://www.hanesbullseye.com/Catalog/CatalogProduct.aspx?ProductId=5250) with a 2-color print (if you like another brand, I can substitute. Less colors = less money). This would include your choice of 30 sizes/colors which don't have to be in dozens.

Here's a list of prices I'll offer to the Ron Paul groupies:

1 for $25.00 each (printed using vinyl transfer..yep...just one!)
2 for $20.00 each (printed using vinyl transfer)
6 for $15.00 each (printed using vinyl transfer)
12 for $12.00 each (printed using vinyl transfer)

24 for $11.00 each (screen-printed)
40 for $ 8.50 each (screen-printed)
50 for $ 7.75 each (screen-printed)

100 for $ 7.00 each (screen-printed)
200 for $ 6.40 each (screen-printed)
300 for $ 6.20 each (screen-printed)
400 for $ 6.00 each (screen-printed)
500 for $ 5.85 each (screen-printed)

For those unfamiliar with vinyl transfer, it is a proven process used by SpreadShirt which involves plot printing and heat-pressing a special material to the shirt. It is of comparable quality to screen-printing.

For $2 more per shirt, I can offer American Apparel brand tees, which are just about the best quality you can buy.

Please direct any questions to empirenine [at] gmail. I'll be out of town until the 4th, but I should be able to answer emails until this Saturday.

Happy Pauling!

Oh, and for post cards, a friend of mine has used GotPrint.com, and their prices appear to be as low as anybody.

www.gotprint.com (http://www.gotprint.com)

You can get 5000 double-sided postcards for $128, which works out to 2.6 cents each. Not too bad a price.

In the words of Forrest Gump, "we are not of relation", i.e, I am not affiliated with GotPrint in any way.

Would you print front and back?

Two-sided printing is no problem, but it does cost more.

If you're doing 2-colors on each side of the shirt (full-size both sides), price will be about $2 more per shirt.

If you're looking for a small breast logo front, large logo back, the price will be about $1 more than previously quoted.

For 2-colors front, 1-color back would be about $1 more each as well.

Quotes are going to depend on exactly what you need, but I'll try to be reasonable with prices.

I'm a graphic designer by trade, so that's the easy part.

I'd be happy to create artwork as long as its not TOO ridiculously detailed. A couple hours of my time is included in the price. And I'd much prefer that the buyer have SOME idea of what they want, rather than telling me "Just make something".

And sincerely, I'm offering these prices because I believe in this mission.

I have no idea about their quality (Gildan 100% cotton?), customer service, and turnaround, but customink.com provides 100 screenprinted shirts, with a 2-color print on front and back, for $753.00. That includes shipping.

I'm not sure if their prices are larger if larger graphics are printed. I assume so, but haven't tested it yet.

Gildan tends to be a bargain brand shirt, depending on the style number (some of their shirts are . I have never used them as they are a baggier fit than the Hanes Authentic tees.

I'd be willing to negotiate to come close to those prices if someone was really interested.

If they are charging the same price for full-color shirts as they are for single color shirts, they aren't screenprinting. Quality could be like that of Cafepress items that are inkjet printed/heatpressed. Be cautious.

Thank you for listing the best pricing. Not only is this a good offer but a good reference.

Would it be better if I found a local print shop to make the various merchandise instead of buying it online? In this way, we locals can have merchandise without the risk of a supply crunch and save on shipping costs and shipping time.

Local shops would indeed help when you need items fast, but you may actually end up paying more. Yes, you save on shipping, but you'll most likely have to pay sales tax. I've also gotten the impression from looking at the prices local shops offer that the web's competition has forced online sites to offer the most competitive rates. Some of the local shops that I got quotes from for full-color brochures were more than twice as expensive as the taradel.com prices, for example.

For individuals, I suggest joining up with your local meetup group, and trying to get enough donations together for someone within that group to make a bulk purchase of materials, and then distribute those materials to the individuals within the meetup group. I think that will be the most efficient use of our resources.

Office Depot has blank CDs on a great sale this week 100 pack for $10.
That's 1,000 CDs for $100 (Plus sales tax where applicable) you can find The white CD Sleeves on ebay for $20-$30 for 1000.
So for $130, and TIME we can make 1000 CDs.

It's good to see everyone talking about this, but is anyone coordinating the coordinators for possible larger buys? For instance, I don't know about anyone here, but if we could make if somehow affordable, I'd love to pitch in a few hundred towards a buy of polybag signs?

My best suggestion for this would be to post a new thread with "GROUP BUY: Ron Paul yard signs". People will post their interest and I'm sure some will have good resources for these signs. This is also a good way to gauge the interest and whether or not you'll need to go it alone.

I've been contemplating how to get my hands on some of these signs also, and a group buy always helps with prices.

I bought 10,000 business cards a few weeks ago, and sold those to the meetup members of my group at a slight mark-up. I then bought 10,000 brochures, and was able to sell a lot of those to the same meetup members (for the 4th of July events). We're having a meeting this Tuesday, where we hope to bring in even more donations, so that we can really start using our purchasing power to make some bulk purchases.

If you're a member of a local Ron Paul group, try to pool your money within that group. I'm not sure if the official campaign will be able to spend their time and resource to make some really big bulk purchases and then sell materials to the Ron Paul supporters at cost. The official site currently links to a cafepress store, and although the items are being sold at cost, they're being sold at cafepress's cost, which isn't cheap. Also, you have to pay for shipping. That's a lot of resources going to cafepress and UPS/FedEx that could be going to the Ron Paul campaign.

We certainly have pooled our resources within our group. It does help very much as we are doing well in that regard, but I just wanted to see if groups of organizers (as I Organize for Pittsburgh) are doing that. I will take your suggestion about a group buy, however. Thanks!

Special offer- two-sided, two-color, 18"x24" weatherproof coroplast Ron Paul/President '08/www.ronpaul2008.com yard signs packaged in boxes of 100 - wire stands NOT included at this price.

http://i1.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/ag/30/53b7_1.JPG

Prices:

$144.00 when using a US Postal Service Money Order (only)
$155.00 when using Paypal

In case you opt for wire stands -

Wire stands -

$65.00 per box of 100 when using a US Postal Service Money Order (only)
$70.00 per box of 100 when using Paypal

Shipping is not included in the above prices. Shipping via UPS

We can furnish the wire stands, but it is highly recommended you and your group make up your own wire stands out of a product called ladder wire which is typically available at your local masonry supply (ladder wire is used as re-enforcement in the construction of masonry block walls). You need to get the 10" wide ladder wire for this purpose. You can save on wire stands this way (no shipping costs) and DIY wire stands out of ladder wire will cost you about 45 cents or less each.

We are able to furnish these high quality yard signs at this unbelievable price because we add them to existing production runs. At this price we do not keep these signs in a standing inventory. Please allow up to ten days for delivery, it should usually take less than ten days to deliver. Once we get into a routine we should be able to shorten delivery time.

Why are slim jims listed when they are provided by the National Campaign for free? As are small amounts of bumper stickers (the white ones).

Just contact them and they'll send you the link to order them. Granted, it usually takes a couple weeks.

Why are slim jims listed when they are provided by the National Campaign for free?
a) Because the campaign only has a limited amount of them, and those that are able to purchase them should do so, leaving the "free" ones to those that cannot afford them.
b) Because the campaign only has slim jims using the official design, whereas ordering them yourself allows you to customize them.
c) Because it takes too long to get them from the campaign.

As are small amounts of bumper stickers (the white ones).
See above.

Note that if you go to the official campaign site, and click on "STORE" it links you to a cafepress site that is selling the bumper stickers for $3 a piece, and the campaign doesn't make a dime off of that.

Thanks for the reply. One question: your description lists www.ronpaul.com as the website printed on the signs.... that's not a Ron Paul for President URL... was that a typo? Do you have a graphic to show what your boxed 100 signs look like?

Hey all,

My name is Kari Lamanuzzi and I'm an assistant organizer of the RP meetup group for Western PA (Pittsburgh). One of our supporters owns a tee shirt printing business, and we have a deal worked out to make our group, as well as others involved in the cause, some money.

Basically, we can sell you white tee shirts with ANY Ron Paul customized design for $5 each. There's a minimum purchase of 50 shirts at a time, but we were able to make A TON of money selling them when Ron Paul came to speak.

By selling them for $5 each, our group makes a profit. With that profit, we're trying to get as many people as possible to New Hampshire for the primary. The goal is to get 1,000 supporters knocking on every door in the state. Lofty, but attainable.

So far, the meetup group in Las Vegas and Memphis are placing orders. If you need recommendations from other groups who have purchased our shirts, I can give you their information. The more shirts we sell, the more people we can have working to win the primary.

If you sell the tee shirts to group members for $10 each, you're making a 100 percent profit to do with what you please. If you need more information or would like pictures of our products (Ron Paul himself wore our tee shirt!) I'll be happy to provide them.

Email me at klamanuzzi@gmail.com or send me a message here. Thanks!

I think it may be time to re-edit the first post. The campaign itself now has a pretty great store, and for instance, beats ronpaulstickers.com by about 25 bucks at least, on 25 yard signs. $102.00 shipping included from the official store at http://www.ronpaul2008store.com/servlet/StoreFront.

Everything else is about as cheap as supplies can be, and I think they are still making a very minor amount of money on each purchase, since it counts as a contribution.

$0.016 per card at vistaprint.com (http://ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=92) (5,000 color cards, front and back, includes shipping)
$0.03 per card at libertytalk.com (http://www.libertytalk.com/liberty_card.php) (10,000 color cards, front and back, gloss, UV coated, includes shipping)
--> NOTE: libertytalk cards are twice the price of the vistaprint cards, but for that price you get a far superior product.





My cards are now just 2.3 cents per card on an order of $10,000. I've recently reduced prices at www.LibertyCard.org. Plus, those larger bulk orders get nice 800 pack sleeves.

Plus, get free Ron Paul bumper stickers, quiz cards, and in some cases I will send a cool "Discover Liberty" newsletter which is published by the Advocates for Self Government.

It's time to get ordering and hit the streets. We only have about 90 days left.

Not to be a jerk, but your cards are 2.5 cents per card when you account for shipping charges that can't be avoided. Caveat emptor.

But on another note, you are right, 90 days left to get the word out. If we don't win the Republican nomination, we don't win.

I'm not sure that the best strategy is to purchase campaign materials in bulk. For example, if I were to purchase 10,000 slim jims through the campaign store, it would cost me about $400 (including shipping). I've been ordering them for about $260 from a private vendor. Unless the campaign is making $140 on an order of 10,000 slim jims (meaning, they pay less than $260 combined for printing, packing and shipping the slim jims), it makes more sense to buy the slim jims from the private vendor and donate $140 to the campaign directly.

I think it would help a lot if we knew just how much of the store sales go directly to the campaign.
