Title: Bitcoin sticker project on Kickstarter
Post by: Rival on October 30, 2017, 04:02:11 PM
Hello all!

We have just launched a kickstarter project for a series of stickers relating to bitcoin! Including such memes as "HODL" and "To the Moon", these stickers would be awesome for computers, car windows, or even skateboards! Come on over and check them out!

I'm not to well-versed in sticker economics, but it seems a kickstarter is a bit overkill for such a small project.

Aren't stickers dirt cheap?

Please. It’s actually called stickernomics...
I guess the Kickstarter could be used as a means of gaining more publicity as well as a way of avoiding having to create an e-commerce site.
Having been said, $2 for a sticker is a bit much ImO.

Actually, the sticker ecommerce site was completed some time ago for the original series. (bingies.com)

As to the cost, it is not unusual for similar sized / quality stickers to retail for $4.99 on Amazon and other sites. Selling stickers comes with lots of hidden costs most don't recognize, which only become trivial when you sell them by the tens of thousands. Ours seem rather reasonably priced compared to current market trends. Sure, you can find random stickers for less, but you could pay quite a bit more as well.

I understand you are incorporating memes into your designs... but be aware you are competing with volume players like bitstickers.net (http://bitstickers.net) that offer hundreds of designs for pennies each.

Good luck  ;)

Yeah, there is certainly always going to be competition. However, no one can sell you a sticker and ship it to you for pennies. Even if you could have your stickers produced for free, transaction fees, commissions, and postage will eat up the lions share of $1.00.

The truth be told, it is nearly impossible to sell a physical good online for less than $1.00 and expect to make any profit unless you sell tens of thousands, and even then you are only making a few cents per sale. Unless your customers decide to buy in bulk.
