The Story Behind the New Cheese & Volleyball Store

OK, so we're gonna start selling stuff (t-shirts, mugs, buttons, bumper stickers).

Yeah yeah, we know, we know. But the honest-to-goodness truth is we're doing it for three primary reasons:

1. We think some of you might actually enjoy purchasing some of these items (if we're wrong, well, we're wrong)
   
2. We feel it's sort of a cool way to show people everywhere just how insanely, unbelievably, extraordinarily proud we are about volleyball in this state
3. We wouldn't mind making a few bucks
   

We can assure you that the last point is the least point. Hopefully by now we've proven beyond a reasonable doubt that we're passionate about the state of the sport in this state. And that ain't gonna change anytime soon. Even if we don't sell a single item.

On the other hand, selling some stuff might actually give us a few more dollars to throw into making the blog better.

Here's how the store works: We're using an outfit called CafePress to do all the heavy lifting (credit cards, returns, etc.). They have a sound track record, but they take a hefty cut for their troubles. To visit the store, go to cafepress.com/VBCheese. Eventually we're hoping to have a "storefront" right on the site, but we're not quite there yet.

Check it out and let us know whatcha think. Merry Christmas, Wisconsin.
