Eg
1: Subscriber Only Offers
Special
deals with our key sponsors. For example users can have their
own car tool kit personalised with their name or a simple
message engraved. Ordered through one of our key partners
Hello Dolly. (for example)
Or
perhaps if Girl Mechanic writes a weekly column for Dolly
Magazine, this is where users can subscribe to Dolly at a
discounted rate.
Sign
up for a something or other, or link your Car Park to your
My Space site and we'll donate a certain number of Greenfleet
points on your behalf. Feel better about driving when you
plant trees to offset emissions from your car.
Eg
2: Free
downloads
We
like to encourage creativity and the sharing of stories with
Gmech and her friends.
That's
why we offer free MySpace, Blogger and Facebook etc skins,
screensavers, ringtones and widgets for you to use.
Also,
using the Creative Commons License - Imagine a whole lot of
animated moves and flash layers using our characters, locations
and bits of cars and roads and maps etc - that you could pull
apart and integrate into your own short films, music videos
and websites without having to ask permission. This is were
we want the users to take what we offer - then play, recreate,
reuse, and resubmit with their own spin on things. Most popular
and best submissions as voted by our web team and other users
will be eligible for all kinds of great sponsor prizes.
Long
term - we hope to commission short films, ideally in conjunction
with the TAC Make A Film, Make A Difference campaign. Initially
though we'll be interested in offering prizes and sponsor
rewards for peoples' driving, car and travel related short
stories, illustrations, poetry, music, videos, photographs
and multimedia art that use components from our site to create
new works.
Eg
2: Collaborative Zine
Perhaps
users would like to contribute to a Gmech comic zine, created
collaboratively online and then made available at Zine Fairs
and public libraries.
Eg
3: Gmech Merchandise
This
is also where users can buy products from our own brand of
merchandising, they might be interested in vehicle log books,
travel diaries, stickers, badges, magnets and car seat covers.
But as with everything on the site, we encourage the users
to come up with the designs....
