I’m guessing you can’t vote on mastodon if you don’t have an account, so you can vote here too.
We need to figure out:
- what they’re going to look like
- who to sell with (redbubble, spreadshirt, maybe even aliexpress, etc)
- pricing, though it will probably be affordable. We plan to give them out to our editors on request, so you buying a sticker will fund them to our editors. Really by buying stickers from us you help support the website.
but they could be shipped out to you by the end of the week…
or the next, it’s a bit hopeful lol
Depends on the price and price of the shipment. Like for instance you say 5usd which is not a lot, but maybe it is another 5 for the delivery since it is a small item, plus some other shit like taxes on the dollar and imports it is like 12 13? I live with 20usd a week, so you know, it is a tough choice. I am sure I could do it one time but it hurts honestly, maybe not everyone is on the same situation but you know, my particular case.
spreadshirt prices items based on your region and then decides what to give the seller themselves, it’s all automated. So I can’t really give you an answer but you can look at stickers on their website to get an idea on the average price.
Problem with that method is it’s unreliable. We don’t know how much we’d make on each sale (even if they’re just to support the website and spread some goodies I don’t want to make just 1 dollar on a 20 dollar sale).
Another way would be aliexpress sellers but we’d have to set up some sort of dropshipping platform to automate as much of it as possible, plus we’d be handling customer data. And as far as stickers go on ali, they sell them by the hundred, which I doubt most people would need – 10-20 is more realistic if we can find that somewhere.
