    I’ve been waiting for this! I currently manage a sticker business and learned that I prefer to outsource my sticker production because of convenience and I don’t have a lot of room to store all of the equipment. I know a lot of other small businesses that do produce their own stickers and they’re great as well!

    I know you don't recommend starting off on etsy or having it as my main website. But tell me if I'm wrong, I feel like it's cheaper starting there and easier especially as a small business starting off on a small budget and all. I want to believe starting on my own or on shopify is the best route, but the financial part scares me!

I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with big cartel. I know it's not quite shopify 😅 but their £30 a month fees are currently too much for me. So I'd like to start somewhere budget friendly while I get off my feet. If you have any wisdom, please part it here 😉🤲🏽 thank u

    Thanks for your video about selling stickers. I have been a sticker lover since I was a kid. For awhile now I've been thinking about creating stickers to sell. A possible niche I was thinking of doing is cat stickers. Right now I was thinking of outsourcing my stickers, but I may try out the vinyl and use my local public library's Silhouette machine to see how it goes in creating some sample pieces. Question: The vinyl material used with the cutting machine really will prevent an ink jet printed piece from smudging?

I would like to sell original sticker that ive made and sell it internationally on etsy, the problem is the shipping cost is too expensive from here (SEA) to there (usa). Around $12. Im afraid that it could keep me from etsy buyers when they see those big shipping fee while the sticker itself probably is around $4-5 (the average price in etsy). Could i ask for your tips or advise? Thank you❤️

    • @CreativeHiveCo
      @CreativeHiveCo  3 года назад

      Unfortunately, shipping is what it is. You will find that if a customer wants the item, they will pay for the shipping, even if the items cost is less than the shipping. I've seen this happen countless times. The other thing you can do is just set your shipping to more local areas/countries to start and see how it goes.

      It is, and is illegal. My advice to anyone starting any business is to use your own creativity and stick to your own designs, or seek out a commercial license from the owner of the image i.e. Disney so you can use it legally.
