Hi all!
Okay, so this is a serious question that I wanted to pose to you, my readers.
Over the last year, I have had more than a couple of people tell me that they would love it if I sold something other than just books. Examples have been "shirts with Tink on it" or "coffee mugs with favorite quotes from the book" etc. Simple things like that (though a few people have said they would buy figurines, which I priced at hundreds for a prototype, so maybe not that)
(In 2018, I briefly looked into having enamel pins of the girls made and then sold. Unfortunately, the enamel pin company went out of business and I haven't thought about it since.)
Obviously I am super busy, but I did a bit of research and found a few companies that offer services where I could design things like shirts, sweaters, coffee mugs, etc. and then they handle the rest, including manufacturing and shipping. You would buy directly from them and I would receive a small royalty.
So the question is this: if I were to do something available like this, what would you even want? Would love to see some ideas from you. The big (and only) reason I ask this question is because I want some honest opinions. If I get almost no suggestions, then I know that it's a small minority that want to see things like this and won't pursue it in the near future. If I get a hundred of you who want Tink buttons, then I will look into it.
And don't worry that this would spread me thin. With the right ideas, I could pay someone to design it. This is just a "Hey, would love to hear your thoughts" kind of thing.
That's all from me, I am back to writing!
