We have been receiving a number of emails through the holiday about the "BFT Gift Shop" from people looking for a variety of items. In the past our biggest problem was running out of inventory when an item was still on the site (so orders were then placed in the black hole of back ordered). Finding time to ship items and the very slow turn around time on getting new product in. We have found a way to address all of these problems. We have added a budget to stock inventory and we won't be launching the store until inventory arrives. The new store has inventory control so items won't be able to be purchased that are not in stock and we have someone who is going to handle all shipping. So we are confident all of our Gift Shop problems are now solved.
To accommodate the interest in a bigger gift shop with a bigger variety of items we are creating a real BFT Gift Shop (a separate commerce site) and planning on stocking as many requests as possible for items.
We have ordered some pretty cool items. Our goal here is to offer items as close to our cost as possible, not to make big profits off BFT gear so we should have some pretty cool stuff at pretty reasonable prices.
BFT is posting a poll in the polls board that I would appreciate it if you take a second and give us feedback on items you are interested in. If we can find them and get them at a reasonable price we will try to add them.
Also the big question we have is do users prefer the 3d embroidery or the standard embroidery. We will be doing both but need to know which of these items to stock more of.
