Merch ideas/looking for input + multi-charge reminder
Added 2018-11-27 12:39:43 +0000 UTCHey! I'm working on a couple more reviews to get out soon- please feel free to limit your donations to 1-2 times a month if you do not want to get charged 2-3 times for November. I would much rather have people limit donations than get annoyed at me putting out 3 videos and stop supporting so I encourage you to do that and not feel bad about it.
Vistaprint is having a big sale so I'm looking at stickers and postcards as a kind of small batch test run. The image attached is a rough postcard design. Since I'm working with a deadline I don't have time to make something really nice, and I am not big on BRANDING stuff anyway, but I figured I'd make stickers out of a bunch of stills of our short films and some basic logos I did for a live show a while back since I have all that stuff onhand. The background is from a CC0 image and the skeleton/ivy is an edited screenshot from an unreleased short film of ours.
I will probably eventually pay someone to design a better logo. ANYWAY. I made a twitter poll for merch preferences https://twitter.com/plentyofalcoves/status/1067394184791945216 but feel free to comment here with what you'd like to see as well. The commentary tracks are the most popular so far it looks like.
One thing I might do is send people a signed postcard for a $5-10 ko-fi donation or something. But vs just selling stuff that risks going into the weird parasocial sphere. I dunno. I might also be able to send a sticker to $10+ patrons if I get enough/if y'all want them, though I haven't ordered anything yet so I can't make any promises haha.
