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
The problem we run into is that stickers on say spreadshirt are like 2$ for one. At least it’s a premium water-resistance vinyl sticker, but not the kind of thing you would buy 15 of to stick around town, maybe just one for your laptop.
We can get cheapo stickers on aliexpress though, like 3 bucks for 100, and I was thinking we could dropship those for like 6$ (all proceeds go to prolewiki to fund our hosting and other projects, it’s not like anyone makes money off this), but that would also require us handling customer data and sending the information over to the ali seller.
I was thinking of making pins too, actually one of our comrades has a pins machine and made a prolewiki one, it looks amazing.
We obviously don’t have the capabilities (either in knowledge, resources, or simply even time) to make these things ourselves, but it’s proving more difficult than I thought it would be to find a third-party seller lol.
Edit: I mean we could also buy a reserve from aliexpress, like 1000 at once, and then ship them in simple envelopes, but someone still has to make the envelope, keep track of stock, post the envelope, etc. + shipping costs will be higher than going through a reseller.
