If I made y'allidarity stickers sorts like what's in my header image, would you want one? Maybe an inch tall or something. Suitable for a laptop list or whatever.
I'm thinking I'd give 'em away, but not sure how to get them to folks economically besides handing them directly, but, like, most of y'all don't live in Austin, so.
@benhamill throwing a few in an envelope is not too bad. Some of us (me) are very very good at distributing stickers once they have a bunch
@benhamill I like to give myself a ridiculous project budget. Basically under $50 I will do it if it makes me laugh. Something like this might be a good bounding box on how much to spend on shipping
@ansate Sticker Mule will do a run of 50 stickers for just over $50. If there's more interest here I could do a bigger run and it gets cheaper. That's within my project budget, especially since it's not just for the lulz, but in support of a political/philosophical view I, uh, support.
@benhamill we can definitely successfully give away more. How does your willingness to pay change if I say I'm up to throw in $20?
@ansate 😁 I'll do some price checks of different sizes of run and send you some numbers. I'm bad at giving things away just because I'm stuch a homebody. 💖
@benhamill you just gotta find a few conference and meet up people
@ansate The design I have now, if an inch tall, would end up being 8 inches wide. That's a bit wider than I'd actually like, so I might mess with the design some. But... if that's what we went with:
50 $66
100 $86
200 $120
300 $150
A little more than when I'd guessed at the dimensions earlier. 🤷🏻 If you put in $20, I could probably get BFults or someone else at Under Armour to chip in another $10-20. Then I'd be willing to spring for the remainder+stamps to do a run of 100 and give them away (I assume you and I also get to keep a few each).
The price doesn't vary much until it gets way smaller than is probably reasonable.
@benhamill 8 inches is a lot of laptop space. I think 100 sounds reasonable, regardless of how much you adjust the design/size
@ansate Yeah. Even 6 inches is a lot of laptop space. I'm gonna mess with the design and see if I can get something going that I like. I was originally wanting to do a t-shirt, but there's too many colors. The font needs of a laptop sticker and a shirt are different, so I'll play with it.
Thanks for the encouragement. 💖
@benhamill if you still want to do a tshirt I've been happy with printful and they are chill about lots of colors https://ansatejournal.wordpress.com/2017/07/03/merch-no-money-up-front-big-cartel-printful/
@ansate Fair point. And the cost of a stamp (at least to places in the US) is less than I'm losing on a single sticker, so...
