Update about my online shop adventures~
🕑 Added 2024-03-27 00:00:03 +0000 UTCHi hello!
I have some stuff to share~
(Also I have a question at the bottom, so if you want to see that, but don't want to read, just jump to the end!)
You might recall that I showed you some Dress-up girl designs not too long ago and teased that they will become a certain kind of merch eventually. Well, while I can't show the actual items just yet, I can at least tell you, they are now in production!! WOOOO!!
ANDDD I can also tell you about where these items will be available: ETSY!🎉
I have been working on my store next to the Diamond Dive updates for quite some time now, slowly chipping away at it, trying out different logos and branding designs until I finally figured out what I want it to be.
(My first trial was this Sailor Moon inspired logo, and the name "StudioMadamka"... it works, but it somehow isn't IT, you know?)
I want my store to be focused on fashion-inspired stationary and accessories, so notebooks, sticky notes, keychains, stickers, magnets, even bracelets are in the long-term plan.✨
So I knew what I want to store to be, but when it came to the branding, I was still in trouble...
I mainly wear black, am a goth girl at heart, but as you already know from Diamond Dive, I also do love me some pink and frills and high heels and nails... So how do I communicate all that? How do I choose between girly pink and edgy black? And how do I add all the other aesthetics I want to include??
Well, I realized I can actually just merge them all with the right setup, and I figured this out all thanks to the movie Mean Girls and specifically the Burn Book's design.
So without further ado, let me show you what I cooked up. Here's the branding for my new etsy store, DressUpBabes!!🖤🌸
As you can see, Charlotte and Dahlia are my main models, hahah <3
The store is already up and running, and it has the keychains you can see in the header listed (except for the goth one, it sold out at my latest Artist Alley table, the new batch is currently in production lmao), so if you would like to get one, click here: DressUpBabes!! 🖤🌸
I haven't fully fully opened it yet though, there are a lot of items missing (stickers, more keychains, some prints) and I will be listing some Diamond Dive stuff as well later, but I will definitely let you all know here first when that happens!
Alsooo~~ I wanted to ask a question related to all this.
As patrons, would you want me to share a 5% shop discount code every month as a reward? Is that something you'd use? I'd love to give you a discount, but I don't want to spam you lmao, so please let me know whether I should do this or not. Thank you!💕
Soooo... that would be all, I just wanted to chat w you all a bit about this whole new adventure, hehe~~ What do you think about the design? Or the items in the shop? What other merch/shop stuff would you be interested in from me in the future? Should I write more updates like this, as I'm figuring stuff out w the shop? 🤔 Let me know!
Hope you're having a great day~

Yeah, it's definitely a question of whether it can work within the janky Patreon UI.

It takes a bit of time to set it up, but it's worth it if I can reward my patrons a bit more, hahah <3 Thank you for the feedback! <3

Updating it in a pinned post could be a good solution, yeah!🤔 I'm a bit concerned how easily people would find that, given how messy patreon's UI is... but it might still be better than spamming you all with an extra post each month. I guess I could do a post reminder whenever I actually have new products as well, so I'd kill 2 birds with one stone in that case and it would feel a bit less like spam maybe. Hmm. I'll have to think about this a bit. Thanks!

Everything here looks INCREDIBLE and I'm so excited!! Also, Discount codes sound really good! A bit to keep up with for you, but I'm sure they'll be appreciated! Updating a patron-only post and having it pinned may be the best option so you don't have to make a new post for each one, or send unique ones to each patron or anything!

If you don't want to spam, maybe you could do something like have a pinned post with a link to a document that you update each month with the new code?
