Ideas for Gear / Merchandise (Add yours!:

  • Umbrella: http://www.hisupplier.com/product-392397-Umbrella-Toy-With-Cartoon-Fox/
  • Kumi: https://vikingkarwur.makes.org/thimble/how-to-make-a-kumi-papertoy
  • Baby Onesie: http://bit.ly/1nYzVLk
  • Dog toys / gear
  • Kids' sizes
  • Socks - dress socks with the Firefox browser logo on the ankle, to be worn with suits by policymakers (and me when lobbying!), generally hidden under a pant leg
  • "Keep rocking the free web." and other phrases known to Mozillians that have broad enough appeal to sell shirts beyond the inner circle.
  • The original shirt series. I was told that Mozilla was funded by Chris Beard selling T-shirts from his desk. This is an amazing story! Can we produce a series of those original shirts?+1
  • Firefox checkered paper notebooks, on it's header we could add the Firefox for Desktop or Firefox for Android UI.

Cool Ideas for Marketing (List yours!):

  • FF10th Anniversary limited edition (t shirt? origami fox?)
  • Easter eggs in messaging or landing pages (or Firefox code?) that have hidden discount codes (e.g. Find the Mozilla fox and unveil a store discount code!)
  • Open Badges on Webmaker translates to credits associated with free/discounted gear
  • T-shirt design contests -- community designs; community votes for the winner -- winner featured in the store (could work for items other than Tshirts)
  • Items crafted by Mozillians (Etsy tie-in?)
  • Holiday promotions, including unusual holidays like: Pi Day, National Talk Like a Pirate Day, May the 4th
  • TOM’s style buy-one-give-one model
