Convention Merch Inquiry!
15 years ago
General
Possibly considering Anthrocon this year. Not the entire weekend, probably only a day (unless we end up crashing with someone - don't want to pay for a whole weekend of hotel room and all). Don't want to leave empty-handed, of course. My only real goal when going to conventions is to recoup my losses (hotel, registration). We want to go and see peoples, but we don't want to spend a crapton of time around ~furries~.
So, what's selling well at furry cons lately? I'd like to get rid of a lot of my ~stuff~ lying around - like those sketch packets I had up on Etsy forever and those originals I did with scrapbook/that are matted. I've been considering getting stickers made, but I'm not sure who does them well these days (I'm a big fan of the work Paper Forest/Printsess did for Celesse and Bara-chan). Do prints sell any better than in the past? Are people buying more trinkets?
I know commissions are the big seller, but I have no intent of doing any - outside of maybe art card sketches. If I'm feeling up for even that.
I may do some art card sketches to sell, maybe some topless ladies. I should see what species might be popular sellers - outside of the typical ones, of course.
So, any artists with advice for what sells decently, let me know! Also, buyers, let me know what you like to purchase!

Badges man, badges. Especially those that work with the con's theme.

Like I said, I'm trying to avoid commissions. :O
