So I just have a couple questions for those of you who have sold buttons in the past! 1) What size did you sell, or what size sold best? 2) How many different designs did you have? 3) What company did you go with? Or did you find it was better to do it yourself? 4) How many of each design did you get printed, and how many of each did you sell? Thanks!

I had 7, only because the place I ordered it from (now out of business), allowed you to submit up to 7 designs per order. 3. I went with Shushuu, before the drama with them started, and now they're gone. I'm not sure where else you can get them done though, hopefully other posters can answer that. 4. I can't remember the exact numbers, but I did a chibi FMA set, so I printed like 15 of Ed and 15 of Al, 10 of Roy... and so on for the 4 other characters. It was kinda good to have 7 different designs because some people bought a whole "set" of 7 from me. Basically make more of the popular characters, it doesn't matter if you personally like your designs for a less popular character better. It's usually the popular characters that sell no matter what. Hope this helps a bit!

I only want 20 of each but the place I'm looking into requires you to order at least 50 in order to process your order. I'm trying to see if they will do 50, but split it between 2 designs so that I have 25 of each instead .

You also get free shipping for Canadian orders. I'll definately be using the same people again if I make buttons this year

I had 14 last year (9 from ouran and rest random fanart) 3) What company did you go with? Or did you find it was better to do it yourself? I also used shuu shuu when they were running. they are not around anymore though. self promotion plug. I also offer custom 1"buttons as well. my site and other good options are (from what others say) busybeaver mod-buttons --> apparantly shuushuu was based off modbuttons 4) How many of each design did you get printed, and how many of each did you sell? i estimated which buttons will be popular. so for the more popular ones, around 25 each and non popular ones had 10 each 200 in total. and got sold out have fun Lookie here!!: Deviantart + custom Buttons Last Edited By: jinyjinjin 08/07/29 03:06 PM.
