Tattoos and Shot Glasses

Tue Apr 22, 2008, 7:16 PM
Is anyone reading this a webcomic artist? Do you sell merchandise? What works? What doesn't?

Of course, everyone is encouraged to participate in this. I want the fans to tell me what they want as well. Any opinions at all.

The success of the merchandise at Penguicon has led me to a realization: I must make more stuff, and go to more cons.
So, you guys get to help me decide what!
Which of these things would you like to see for YU+ME? Which for Lesbian Pirates? Tell me which you would buy, and which you might not buy, but think would be a good idea.
The prices are approximations.

More shirts - $15-$20
More buttons - $1 each, $7 for pack of ten
Posters - $10-$12
Messenger Bags - $25-$30
Tote Bags - $12-$15
Temporary Tattoos - $10 for pack of 8
Enamel Pins - $7 (they're metal!)
Shot Glasses (probably more appropriate for lesbian pirates) - $5 each
Playing Cards - $6
Stickers - $2 bumper stickers
Patches - $8
Mugs - $10
Calendars - $20

Is there anything else you can think of? A lot of this came from hanging out with Ms. Breeden.
I figure I'll start with a few, and expand the merchandise lines as I sell stuff.
I've got some good designs for all of these things, which will be shown in a few weeks.

Is anyone reading this a webcomic artist? No, but not for a lack of Ideas.

I would not mid it if Dolls were an option.

Buttons, shirts (For Lesbian Pirates would be awesome), posters, bumper stickers, maybe patches. Messenger and tote bags sound kinda bad. They might work, though. G'luck with merchandising!

All of that stuff sounds pretty awesome. I agree with you in that shot glasses would be best for lesbian pirates. The things I would definitely buy are the posters, the pins, calendar and the playing cards:D I love playing cards for some reason they just make me happy ^^;

I'm not too sure about the tattoos though I probably wouldn't sell them but thats just me.

yeah and i think the prices are fair, though I usually see calendars being sold for 15 bucks.

okay so i would totally love posters, and of course more shirts and buttons! i think everything is really a good idea . =)

Love. :sun:
As a fan I would say......
I would most definitely buy Lesbian Pirates temp tattoos, though I really am too old for them xD I'm thinking they might not be very popular in general, however....

Buttons would be a big seller for both...an inexpensive way for fans to show some love.

Lesbian Pirates calenders and playing cards would be awesome with pin-ups of the girls....

as for product ideas...one word: Panties

Whatever you do decide to make, I will probably buy

Buttons are awesome, and I personally would buy posters.
I think posters and shirts would be the biggest hit, I'd buy those. I agree that bags don't sound like a good idea.

Beats me, man. Beats me why most dudes suck. Sure as hell ain't my scene.
Beanies.
Or corsettes. They're actually easy to make, I could give you a guide to, if you want. You could iron on, or aplicate on, different Yu+Me pictures.

I'd buy one >>
Temporary tattoos would be awesome!
