Anthrocon!
13 years ago
General
Hey all! It's now official--I'm going to Anthrocon. :) I have a table in the dealer's room where I'll be selling leather stuff! I have a pretty good idea of what I'm going to be offering, but if anyone has any tips, tricks, and ideas I certainly wouldn't say no to them! I'm trying to hammer down my pricing right now, so any feedback on this would be really appreciated. Currently I think things are broken down too much. I'd like to have more broad price categories.
- bracelets
--- skinny bracelets with runes or simple designs on them 1 $8
--- thick bracelets with simple borders and a tooled design in the middle 1 2 3 $13
--- thick bracelets with fancy borders and a design (because fuck those runes) 1 $16
- bracer-y things
--- mini cuffs 1 2 $25
--- bracers 1 2 PRICED INDIVIDUALLY
- bag-like things
--- soft pouches (no examples yet) $10
--- big belt pouches 1 2 $65
--- slim belt pouches 1 $25
--- sporran-flavored bags 1 $35 (not sure about offering these just yet)
- collars
--- normal-sized collars 1 2 $25-$30 priced individually?
--- XL collars (for fursuits) (how big should I make them?) $35-ish
- miscellany
--- tiny books 1 $7? not sure
--- journals 1 2 $25-$30? priced individually?
--- keychains (no examples, but I've done 'em before) $5
--- earrings? necklaces? bone carving stuff? should I even bother?
- big stuff
--- corsets... I would like to finish 2 corsets and have them there, but I have no idea how to price or make them. So!
--- armor... I'm working on a breastplate right now. That may be there. We'll see.
--- pauldrons? headband armor? should I even bother?
Also, an unrelated reminder! My art contest is still going on: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/4169377/

I wish I could go, but Pittsburgh is like... 8 hours away? possibly more, never been :/
But then think of EVERY. OTHER. fuc con that is mid west and west. boo. You win some you lose some.
1) MLP somethings
2) the certified as or pawprint things
You seem to have a lot of runes and or viking esque stuff, make sure you have pawprints and shizz like that in your designs in general to cater to your audience a bit more. But i assume you've already thought of that.
Those leather journals would probably do well as sketchbooks--and such lovely ones, too~ Much better than those "I bought a sketchbook and glued faux-fur to it" things I see so much.
I hadn't even thought of them being sketchbooks. That reminds me of another idea I had... making a leather sheath for a 3-ring binder, so people can put commissioned art up in there. I should revisit that idea!
