When the cleverly named DK on Pittsburgh Sports Shop opened online, most merchandise was pretty expensive. Clothes and stuff. Well, we’ve finally gotten some cheaper stuff and — not exactly being a fashion icon myself — I’m more interested in this product line, anyway.

It’s mugs for $9, mousepads for $5 and 8GB flash drives for $10. Here’s the direct link.

I’ve mentioned this before, but this doesn’t generate much revenue. The manufacturers keep 80 percent. So the only reason we’re doing it is, hopefully, to help brand visibility. We’ve been delighted with the response in that regard, really.
