Hey everyone,
Today I looked into getting my zombie merch sold on
+ThinkGeek I have read over all of their guidelines which can be read by following this
{LINK}. The guidelines are fairly straightforward and simple enough. The only thing is right now I plan to make each one of my designs into stickers through
+RedBubble.
The problem I' am seeing is do I continue to try and keep control of my designs and how they are sold and marketed or should I close down the
+RedBubble store and pursue having my ideas sold on
+ThinkGeek. The downside to
+ThinkGeek is that you get a base pay for them accepting the idea and then royalties there after for the life of the product. I know this may seem fairly straight forward to some but as an artist I' m very careful when it comes to sending my art to a larger company as they could not copy my work but use it for concept.
Now let me say that my girlfriend, myself and her entire family buy from
+ThinkGeek all of the time so I can say with strong confidence that they would likely never do that. But someone may you can never be completely sure here. A huge plus to having my ideas being sold on
+ThinkGeek is the fact of how many people my design will reach. Also let's face it were else do you go to find awesome zombie,bacon, or
+Dr Who merch. What I would like to know from all of you is this. Should I continue to run my
+RedBubble store? or Should I submit my ideas to
+ThinkGeek and see if my designs are goo enough to be sold on their kick ass site.
The poll will be added to the right side of the Blog so please vote and let me know what you think I should do.Also here are the two current design I have added to my
+RedBubble store.
Cheers,
Joshua
