Bumper Stickers

Would you buy an Andre Rieu bumper sticker, if Andre offered such a thing for sale?

 

I've just submitted the idea to the helpdesk & asked them to unveil the bumper sticker at the Phoenix & Tucson, Arizona concert in December.

 

I've included a link to this topic in my helpdesk message, so they can have a ready reference to this topic of conversation.

 

<Bill scratches his head in stunned disbelief that this idea hasn't been brought up years ago>

 

What would you like to be included in the full color design or designs of the bumper stickers?

 

I'd like to see the bumper sticker devote a portion of the space on the left side to a photo of Andre's smiling face & a portion to the right side with a photo of the entire JSO orchestra.

1)  What about a BumperSticker with a space at the bottom, where each Fan who purchases one, could write it (in permanent ink) the date of their local concert?

2) What do you think about Andre's website having a Design Contest for BumperStickers?  They could select more than one for printing and maybe have a meet & greet with the selected designers? Perhaps 4 concert tickets to a local concert?  Or....what do you think ??

    Bill, this was bought up before, I still have a bumper sticker on my back bumper now.I think it was an Ann Smith in Maine who made up a bunch of these and we ordered them from her,they were very inexpensive and very attractive.I'm sure there are several fans who bought these.Sally, do you remember ?

      Hi Shirley <g>

      I would dearly love to buy 6-12, for my own vehicles & to give to my friends that are Andre friends.  Can you put me in contact with Ann Smith?

          Hi Bill & Shirley: I have one of those bumper stickers too, Shirley. Do you know she paid for those herself? (I think I and some others sent her 1$ or 2$ a piece or something to help with the costs.)

          What a great idea. Everyone, Everywhere could have an Andre Rieu bumper sticker.

          I would like to see what Andre's design would be.       Here is one of Ann's:::

            Yes, I do remember now, I sent a dollar and a sase for two. One had the year of the tour and the other one, which i still have is black 7 white with a violin and the name Andre Rieu. I thought they were very well done. and the black shows well on any color car. Looks classy!

    I would buy them. I have some made for our cars whenever upcoming concerts are in our area, to help advertise the concert. I have met some nice people and Andre fans when they see the bumper stickers. I think they would be a nice addition to Andre's boutique and I would certainly purschase and display them on our cars!

      So many of Andre's fans are creative.  (I am not one of them.  lol.  I always say I cannot sign my name and have it look pretty, so my talent is to enjoy pretty things)...

      Ann with the Bumper Stickers.  Linda made fabulous Sweatshirt designs.  Suzie does glass etching.  Ruth sews and creates stationary.  I'm certain Bill is creative because..well..just to look at his wardrobe, colorful!!  I think I'll move to another blog page and put up a story about craft work Andre Fans create.  Everyone does something.

      I would love to see Andre's Website Logo or Banner on a bumpersticker.  That would be awesome.

        And yes..perhaps his tour dates.. wow.

    Ann Smith had some very pretty bumper stickers made with Andre's name on them. She made them available to fans. At the same time, I had some made up advertising the upcoming concerts and included those in with the sweatshirts packages. I have a few extra bumper stickers in my drawer that say "In Music there is Harmony. In Harmony there is Peace" with Andre's website on it. If there are a few of you that would like one, e-mail me lindastinner@yahoo.com  and I will send you one at no cost.

    Hey there Sally, I'm still here for awhile, then off again. However, I would probably buy the bumper sticker and display it in the corner of the rear window. Sorry, but I don't do bummper stickers on my car. Why can't it be displayed in CA instead? Joan

      Hi Joan:
       
      I am with you.  I do not tag my car with the stickers, but I do use removable tape and put them on the inside of my rear window.  I like being able to change them.
       
      I think Bill wanted to see them first at his hometown concert, but if Andre sold bumper stickers on his site, I am certain they would be sold and used world-wide.
       
      What a great way to spread the word about his wonderful music and to meet other fans & friends.  

      And...WELCOME back.

    I would love to have a bumper sticker for my car. I've been waiting for the concerts this year so that I could get a "real" picture of Andre, not the one's I can download off the computer. I want an original. I planned on making a bumper sticker off that site that Linda mentioned, I had seen them earlier this year and decided to make my own, beings I couldn't find anyone who had them.
    I do wish that Andre's site would offer them...I have looked many times in hopes that they would decide to offer them.
    If they do, then I will certainly purchase a couple of them, I never buy only one
    If I do have someone make one for me, I would have to think of what I would want on such a limited space...there is so much I would love to say!

    I would definitely want a picture of Andre. Like I say, I have so much I wish to say, that I don't know exactly what I would put on there. I have been thinking though.

    To our Webmaster Sally, Speaking of talent . . . I couldn't begin to do a website like this! That, my dear, takes talent!!! I'm like Barb, still trying to figure out my way through "a blog". It's sad, but true!

    I do not usually like bumper stickers on my car either, but this black one was so classy! And, I did have the one with the concert dates and I had no trouble at all removing it afterwards.I also used one on my bowling bag and suitcase.

    Hi everyone, I would love to have a bumper sticker on my car. This would be great when we go to the concerts and who knows how many new fans we could get when they see the sticker! I am not very talented at designing one but I will buy several. It is a great idea!

    hi Shirley!
    I almost burst out laughing when I read your message!!! Hahaha! Yes, I know that a car is a BIG responsiblity, but...it's fun!!! You know, maybe when I get into the university away from home, I could drive the other girls that attend that university. I dream about it 24/7...even at church this Sunday. Shame on me! Oh well. Anyway, I ride my bicycle sometimes. Thanks for the advice "Mama Kirk"!

    Hello Everyone. Don't know where my email was, but some time ago Chris T. sent me 4 new Bumper Stickers she designed. They are well worth taking a look at. I will post them below and on our News Page. For top-level copies of these, email Chris or myself.
