Title: Contributor Welcome Package Program

Your name/handle: @saint.burban

Proposal abstract:

Joining the Maker community can be intimidating. Receiving a welcome package elicits excitement, raises morale, spreads positivity, and helps newcomers feel welcome. New members that feel positive vibes are more likely to be engaged, and bring others on board with them.

Implementation: New, existing, and positive vibe members are eligible for a custom welcome package if they have not received one already.

Two options:

1. Use the swag store

• Create welcome package item (xs/s/m/l, genders for shirts?)
• Custom discount code allows 1x free welcome package.
• Con: No handwritten note from Burban with it

2. Don’t use the swag store

• Coulter sends Andrew Burban a few boxes of swag(outlined below)
• As newcomers join the community, Burban sends them a google form to fill out their shipping info(outlined below)
• Burban puts together each welcome package, including a card with a hand written note.
• Burban individually ships each package.
• The budget of this CDIP is to reimburse Burban for shipping labels, cards, and swag related costs.

Contributors will provide:

• Shirt Size (Multiple sizes if they have friends to share with)
• Cell Number (real or throw-away)
• Email (real or throw-away)
• Address (any shippable address)

Packages will include:

• Vintage SAI Socks (and/or) new sock designs [From Sock Club]
• MakerDAO Shirts [Provided by Coulter’s Team]
• Random MakerDAO Apparel [Provided by Coulter’s Team]
• Personalized Card
• Possible Other Gifts: Books and more

This was put on pause at submission, until we did an extensive user research campaign in November 2020 for #969 and the swag store launched.
