......... Stickers!
As I am building out my wholesale catalog and have taken a few courses, I hear repeatedly that it's important to have a collection of different products at various price points so retailers can pick and choose. They should also all be cohesive and relevant to your brand so they fit together when displayed in a shop.
Alongside my daily journal and manifestation desk pad, I already have notecards and art prints. I want to add stickers to my collection since they are a very popular item that people like purchasing. Think about it: when you're in a shop, coffee shop, or anywhere really, there are ALWAYS stickers, usually at the checkout.
Over the last few months, I started drawing in Procreate (also had to learn that!), which fits my mindful and whimsical stationery brand, and finally made my stickers - at home! I had to learn how and bought a cutting machine that I got off FB Marketplace, brand new. I tested papers and laminates. Lots of fiddling! Here is the result attached. I love them! Even if I don't use stickers myself 🤣. They cost about 20¢ each to make at home, just including material costs, and can sell for between $3 and $5. I will make them myself for now and outsource when volume grows. I also make my greeting cards and art prints at home.
Next up will be bookmarks and notepads!
