Hi Gemma,
Absolutely love your photos and crafty decorations! I’m a single mummy of two boys and am trying to find a way to make money around them. I’m a graphic designer by trade but always enjoyed designing characters and crafty bits….any idea how I can start small with some products? I have little money to invest and all companies want massive quantities I just can’t afford. How did you get your stickers printed, is it possible to do just a few at a reasonable price?
Hi Lexi!
I’m so sorry it’s taken so long for me to reply! I didn’t receive a notification of your message!
Just like you, I don’t have very much to invest either, I printed the stickers through vista print and I think it cost me roughly around £15 for 250 stickers which is a bargain! It really helps having your logo on your products to spread your brand and get yourself seen. I’ve slowly and comfortably been making enough stock over the past few months ready to sell at my first craft stall which will be on December 5th, I can’t wait to see it all finally come together!
My advice to you would be to take it slow, don’t rush everything and go at your own pace. People don’t realise quite how much work goes in to making products, advertising them and successfully selling them. I’m still constantly learning new things, everything is a new adventure for me which is why I started this blog to document my journey.
Slowly but surely I will get there, and you will too! You just have to keep confident, manage your costs efficiently without breaking the bank and not overwork yourself.
I suggest to start off making products which consist of materials that are inexpensive, and don’t take in to account the amount of time it takes you, after all if it’s a hobby you love then your time is free as you can enjoy it… And any business needs a lot of time and effort to grow!
I hope this has helped!
Would love for you to send me your details (Facebook page/website) so I can pop along to look!
Thank you for your kind words!
