Preview - New sticker soon
🕑 Added 2019-08-10 05:09:51 +0000 UTCHere's a sample pic of an upcoming sticker!
In the merch side of things, I'm partnering up with Crowdmade.
tl;dr: NEW STICKER and other merch COMING SOON! It'll be a crowdmade exclusive one. Old stickers'll still be available on Redbubble.
The "was long, still read":
I've used a LOT of stores in the past (Shark Robot, Redbubble, Teepublic, Teespring). At the moment, my store is on TeeSpring, but I'm not 100% satisfied with how they work. (Tedious to set up products, can't edit, etc.) I like Redbubble but they don't have the Shelf API (which shows merch below my youtube videos).
Crowdmade's gotten in touch with me for a partnership. Unlike RB and Teespring, Crowdmade is basically limited in who they work with; they also handle the design aspect, after I provide ideas + graphics, so it's a little less work on my end too. A lot of animators (both Storytime and classic) have partnered with them. I haven't gotten full details of the partnership yet, but I'm honestly expecting something standard and fair (I mean hell, even Jacksfilms uses Crowdmade.)
They also have the Shelf API to show their stuff below my channel's videos which is excellent, like I do with Teespring.
They do stickers, but they're not print on demand: rather they're limited batches with a narrow profit margin, so unlike Teespring or RB, I have to be selective about what stickers I sell through them. (Teespring has a big profit margin but as a result their stickers are more expensive, and Redbubble has a tiny profit margin so theirs are cheaper. FTR Crowdmade's prices are closer to RB.)
So, that all considered: I should have a few new merch options coming soon, and existing ones will be moving over to Crowdmade. Stickers will stay up on Redbubble, where shipping options are better and you can get more sizes and its cheaper, and I plan to do more periodically, with occasional exclusive ones going up on Crowdmade. As for my Teespring, I'll be shuttering it if things go smoothly transitioning to Crowdmade!
Some stuff to expect that I hadn't looked into much or couldn't before:
- Phone cases
- Mugs
- Pins (in the future)
- Embroidery (this is something I couldn't do period before, and it's print on demand so it's guaranteed I can do it. WHO WANTS A POCKET CESIL?)
