sticker store advice? :(
2 years ago
General
So.... we haven't sold even one single sticker... I realize that these things take time. But it's been very discouraging for a while tbh :( I put effort and think they're cute and fun- and they're physically sturdy/resilient to the elements, we print them and cut them at home and test them on cars, skateboards, water flasks, etc. which have stayed for months now. And I've seen ones that are way less cute or zero effort and easily torn with hundreds of sales and the same price as ours. Obviously we are doing something very wrong but idk what. I post new stickers on here and twitter/bsky when I make more designs, and it maybe gives a small spike in page views but that's it. It might help to get some pointers from others who make or buy stickers- any advice? I thought this would be kinda a piece of cake and help to pay for the kitten spay but so far we've just sunk money into it for nothing :( I don't want to give up tho.

Reaching out to people that are interested in stickers and trying to understand what's in demand for the market. I get the feeling that generally online people seek things like telegram stickers of their own characters. But con-goers may be more interested in physical stickers. Sometimes both happens (Get physical stickers of art they commissioned).
Most vendors I typically find at cons have stickers on the side but they focus on selling other services. Pins, prints, various crafts, custom badges, etc.
I think it's less to do with the quality of the sticker and more to do with the content of the sticker. But whatever you can do to better understand the market demand is probably a good start.
