I'm starting a sticker club!

I have exciting news! I’m starting a sticker club! For the longest time I wanted to help bolster shop updates with more regular income and I thought it would be fun to start a sticker club on patreon. I chose stickers because I don’t really sell them in my shop normally. I sometimes put stickers in orders but other than that I don’t sell them individually or havent for a long time. However, they are a highly requested item.

So I started designing stickers well in advance and started working on my Patreon page. Then, I hit a snag. I started reading experiences from people who used patreon, both that I know and don’t know. These experiences involved a lot of concerns that made me second guess using the platform. I won’t go into all the details, just that it didn’t end up being the right fit.

Instead, I will be starting a subscription product on my own shop. This way I have more control, access to support and I don’t have to be sharing on two different platforms! Now for the good stuff.

I designed this logo for the patreon page before I decided not to do it and I think I’ll keep it or edit it slightly to have a nice graphic for the sticker club!

How Will It Work?

I will have a listing in my shop for the sticker club that you can subscribe to. I will keep the sticker club open always and basically, if start a new subscription by the end of a month you will still get sent that month’s sticker club!

When are you launching it?
I am aiming for mid july but may have to push it back to August!

What comes in the subscription?
Every month you will receive a 3.1 IN X 3.1 IN sticker sheet with 6-8 washi paper sticker on it and also an individual vinyl sticker (~2 in) of one of the designs on the sticker sheet. I will also decorate each envelop

What if I want more of the sticker sheet?
One of the perks of the sticker club will be a secret shop that you will get access to while you are subscribed. After I have sent out all the sticker club orders I will add whatever I have left to the secret shop so you’ll be able to grab more if you’d like. I will only make these available to everyone if there are any left after a long period of time.

How will shipping work?
I know that non tracked shipping isn’t ideal but I also don’t want this club to be expensive. I am still working finalizing but my plan is to have shipping included in the price and send in an envelope with a stamp to keep the costs low. The envelope will have a harder card in it to keep the stickers from getting damaged.

Will you offer the club internationally?
Yes! So, I want to try to open some slots for international customers to see how it goes. It will be a little more than for those in the US because the international stamp is more expensive. My only concern and I will need to make sure there is a disclaimer clear as day that shipping time will be long since these orders will be shipping via first class mail in an envelope!

What if I want to stop my subscription?
I will be using an app and you will be able to manage your subscription through them which includes cancelling it. You would just need to be aware of what date you start your subscription and to cancel it before that date on whatever month you choose to cancel.

Will you show the designs beforehand?
I plan on making them a surprise and maybe giving a sneak peak before I send!

How much will it cost?
I still have to calculate the total cost of items and shipping supplies but currently, I am thinking of making the US cost $8 and International $12 both of these costs include shipping.
