What should I do...

Should I charge the same price for the shirt to Miata and Mazda 6 guys who want to come join us for lunch??

The deal is: $10 for shirt and they eat for free!

Let me know what you guys think.

I think there are only 10-20 of them who wants to attend and check out our event.

I dont see any reason why they should pay more or less.

I say if it is more maybe something like $12. If you charge much more it may turn them off from coming. I would probably just leave it $10 though.

The only reason I can see for having them pay extra is to cover the cost of the shirt and lunch that the sponsors are taking care of for the "Rotary" crowd. Most of the sponsors are rotary based and are contributing to this event in hopes that they will see the return in added business. It is not really fair to them to cover the costs of people that are not rotary based (unless we can convince them all into a 13B motor swap!)
But on the other hand we are trying to make this event continue to grow for years to come, so you can also say the more the merrier for the same price!

I know that is not much help Phil, but after I wrote the first thought, I decided to contradict myself!

Thank you so much for the input everyone..

I guess they are part of mazda Family and I'll honor $10 per shirt and provide them with lunch. I think since we had great number of sponsorships, I don't think this will be an major issue.. Also unless 100 miata and 6 guys show, This shouldn't be an issue. However, just in case, I'm only going to let 20 total to buy shirts at this rate.

Sorry so late on this; just a thought. Family is nice and all, but riding someone else's effort cost money. I've never met you Phil, but from reading in here, you are working you *** off. If they are befitting from your efforts, nothing wrong with making it worth while for yourself. my .02

I know... Its little more work for me.. and I've already spend 30 more minutes this morning because they messed up on payments... But Thats expected as my direction might be bit bad.

Anyhow, Maybe some of them might turn into rotorheads..

That was the reason I was going to vote to keep the cost the same. Seems we're on the same page.

The more the merrier... no ricers allowed. "Other Mazdas" are an acception.

I thought of that when I read the first post in this thread. At first, this probably was going to be a Rotary-only event... but now that we've got such a great event planned (Thanks to Phil, John, etc)... who wouldn't want to share the wealth??

That's probably one of the other events that's been crammed into Fontana.
