Hi everyone,

Please give me your oppinion

When I use to be about 20 years old I used to do mugs with your own pictures on them, t-shirts and all other stuff. But the machine that I use to do it with it's worn out. I used to do it mostly for babies. Well science I have had Alex I have been thinking of starting again, but I will need to buy another machine, so I was wondering...I am thinking of starting this business again, this time more for you guys here on YT with the faces of your pets, or yourselves. So can you please tell me if something like this would be available here on YT, how many of you would you buy this things?

This is what I am thinking of doing:

MOUSE MATS
COASTERS
T-SHIRTS
MUGS
FRIDGE MAGNETS
KEY RINGS
(all of this with your own pictures)

I need to know if you would be interested so I know if it's worth it for me to buy the machine.

Thank you
Maria

Maria, I think that sounds like a great idea. I would love Murfee magnets or key chains.

I would buy!

I think it's a cute idea and most of us do prefer to support YTers but... the only thing I would consider is are the items you would offer any different than what can be purchased through the photo dept at Walgreens, Walmart, etc? I would think as an independent small business it might be difficult to compete price-wise. I wish you the best of luck with your decision though.

Thanks Nikki
I would offer a lot more personalised items than Walgreens, Walmart have to offer and I can make them exactly to your own specification. I work with Paint Shop Pro X and also Animation shop, so I can make designs with your furbabies for no extra cost(something that the big retailers don't do)

Would the shipping charges be a lot coming to the U.S.??

no it wouldn't because my hubby has his own company and I can send it through that, so it won't be expensive.

Bump...

I think it's a wonderful idea!! I would love keychains and shirts with my babys face on it!!!

Hokule'a · 03-15-2008, 06:03 AM

I'd be interested

xtine · 03-15-2008, 12:32 PM

Maria i think that's a great idea!

And regarding pricing being more expensive than like walmart etc.. you know i have my own card busines and to tell you the truth, my prices are very affordable and a lot better quality than walmart.. i have had my own pictures done at walmart before, and sadly they color correct everything at the walmart here

so what you see is't always what you get..

You know that saying, you get what you pay for

but i'd supprt you all the way hun if you decide to go for it!

I hope I didn't come across as though I would rather shop at Walmart. The difference in quality that you pointed out is an example of exactly what I was questioning. I think most everyone would rather pay a bit more if the quality is better and most of us would even pay a bit more to support a fellow YTer. I was just try to answer the question honestly.
