Thinking of using Patreon's new shop for retired designs?
2 years ago
Thought I've been having but I'm not sure how I would make it work since the shop is meant for digital media sales.
But I have to retire my original designs for stickers pretty frequently since they very rarely become decent sellers, at most I'll make 1-3 sales through a course of many months and I'll just retire the design and replace it with fanart bc that is the way of the world...
But I thought it could be a cool perk for Patreon! Doing it that way I could just print one copy for anyone interested and send it off and I don't think Patreon charges listing fees just a fee when the listing sells, so it wouldn't be of much risk for me having to pay a bunch of money up front for nothing.
Retired designs have already been an option for the sticker club members to pick for their monthly packages but it's hard to organize them into one space so I'm not sure people are aware this is a thing I offer.
Anyway let me know what u all might think of this? I think I can have the Patreon shop open to the general public and not just subscribers

That's actually a really fun idea! I'd love to see how that goes and take part potentially
