Imagine this.
You see someone and say "Heck, that's a nice T-Shirt" and he says
"Thanks, I just bought it from The Rock Shop for $25".
Hrmm, you like the shirt, you want it... nut you don't have time to
fossic around in a shop which you don't know.
No problem!
Right click the shirt while it's being worn on the other avitar and
select "Buy" and bingo, you have the shirt and the creator has
the bucks... everyone's having.
"Viral Shopping"
How's that for an idea?
BTW: I make T-Shirts myself, and have noticed the description is dead.
Naming the shirt works, but try and add a description and it doesn't stick,
close the properties and then open them again... see, gone!.
Wolfie!

I wouldn't want the person wearing the clothing to get any payment from this, and hence they'd have to be able to disable it if they object to this form of marketing. There should be no ID of the wearer involved, so that inofficial means of commission can't easily be created. Care should be taken that such a thing could not be accomplished through product IDs or descriptions or...
In fact, I think the whole thing's a bad idea.
Why don't I want a commission paid? Because I don't want SL to be a place of viral marketing. The hucksterism is already bad enough.

Nowhere did Wolfie say that the WEARER was paid anything. From: Wolfie Rankin you have the shirt and the creator has
the bucks. Still, I don't like it. |

I would positively refuse to wear any object I identified as viral marketing like that, on general principles. I am not a billboard. You want me as an advertising space, you can pay me a hefty fee.

I thought in my head by the description that you were talking about making vendors part of the HUD, handing one out to each customer and letting them shop on their own without changing the pages on others, you could do it my referencing ID numbers in the vendor i think. Thats an idea i could get behind, but walking advertisement? only if my customers want too reference me do i expect that kind of treatment. and you'd be surprised how many do if they like your stuff, some people just buy it and never wear it, not sure why but who am i to argue as long as they pay?
