+CubsFanSean Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) I am developing a 9 to 10 part series. For those who complete all the series, I plan on giving the first __ some sort of prize. I have some FTF bumpers stickers I made that people enjoy but I was wanting to do something different. I don't want to spend tons of money but yet I want it to be cool enought to be worth it. The theme of my cache is Secret Society--anyone got any ideas and about how many I should I give out and/or ideas for what would be good to give out--geocoins just are too expensive. I know this is not required, this is just a hard series with two or three difficult caches along with puzzles etc. . . I figure those who've done it all deserve something. Thoughts/Ideas??

+Renegade Knight Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Pathtags, aka Trolly coins. Cheap coins that would make a most excellent cache prize for completing a series. Custom Embroidered Keychains are something I've used. Folks used to collect these (more than a few of us did this) and hang them from their cache packs. Quote Link to comment

Pathtags would be fine but to get a fairly good deal, I'd be looking at 50 to 100. . . . doesn't that seem like a ton, or is that okay, to give it out to the first 99 since i'd keep one LOL.

+Tavisman Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 An even cheaper idea that has a lot of kudos associated with it is a series medal. Make a 'Completed the Secret Society Series' image and put it on the bonus cache web page. Those who have completed the series can copy the image to their profile page. Quote Link to comment

Carolyn We had a local cacher who did them up for us. Anyone who can embroider using a sewing machine can fold over a simple strap on a split ring and make them. Not sure what you would call the kind of shop who could do them locally. Ask around though and you should be able to find someone. A tropy shop would be where I start since they may also make custom emboidery on jackets and such. Quote Link to comment

My fancy sewing machine does embroidery. I may have to play with that idea. On the other hand, if someone else did it, I would have more time for caching. Thanks for the idea!

Sean There must be umpty-zillion possible ways to reward your FTF team! I would bet that whatever you chose (and something unique created by you would be best), the memory link to the experience is much more valuable than the object itself. Quote Link to comment

Note--agreed--this is not necessarily for the FTF--this is for completing the series--they are altogether different . Quote Link to comment
