Try Change: Playing It Safe?

Playing It Safe?

I recently read a fantastic quote that was posted on one of the blog communities I belong to:

"The riskiest thing to do is to play it safe"

It made me think about our decision at Try Change to expand our line of inspirational shirts from Cafe Press to actually sell them directly to retailers. About a month ago we made the decision, met with a local designer and put together our marketing plan.. Over the next several weeks we will revamp our website, make final changes to the new designs and set up meetings with local and national stores. We could have played it safe, kept our shirts on Cafe Press and hoped for the best but we decided to take the risk in hopes of a great reward not only for us but to have the opportunity to share our message of peace, hope, faith, diversity and positive change with as many people as possible. Also as stated before a portion of all profits are donated back to Volunteers of America Chesapeake.

In the coming weeks we will reintroduce you to the story behind Try Change and our partnership with Volunteers of America as well as an opportunity to win some free Try Change shirts. In the meantime we ask you to help us spread the Try Change message by sharing our blog with your members. The logo above is part of the whole re-design and we'd really love to hear what you think...please send us an email or leave us a comment here on the blog!
