This is what my friend does for stickers. She buys her sticker paper on Amazon and prints them at UPS. They charge her 60 cents per sheet. She then cuts the, at home. This way she has the freedom to get as many as she wants.

it is expensive and cutting by hand makes me scared ...if you order in bulk you pay around 0,20 p each ...so lets say 300 would be around 60... i used to make mines with cricut but i prefer to order my cards and stickers from a printer as they are far more professional xx

I don’t think she’d want to share cause of competition or other reasons. I have seen samples overseas of some of her designs when I’ve purchased my own products. So I think that’s what she does for some products.

@@abbycat000I respect your opinion but I have to disagree because her sharing manufacturer would be just that. We are not making the same material meaning no one can copy her work without penalty . She has the rights to her Art. I was speaking more along the lines of her saying “hey I really like sticker mule for stickers” . I don’t make stickers or stationary but it could be helpful to hear from someone with this much experience how to go about finding manufacturers for any product using your own artwork.

@@gabzwilson2750 I’m letting you know cause I’m someone who asked her through Instagram once. She (or perhaps an employee) said that hopefully I would understand, but they wished not to share manufacturers for her “bigger” products like planners and desk mats. But hope you get a response.

Thank you for all these helpful and insightful videos. I have had my etsy shop for about 10 years. It's more of a hobby and brings in a little income in conjunction with doing craft fairs, but I have never thought of upgrading from a sole proprietorship to an LLC, but I have been considering since I also sell on Faire and do a lot of craft markets.

Do you think this would work for people who buy their designs? I'm not an artist myself (I've tried 😂) but I LOVE making stickers, bookmarks, and notepads. Just not sure how large I could scale this. I do have a license to use the designs and sell them, just kinda feel imposter syndrome since it's not my own original artwork. 😶🌫 (I do edit the images/designs to make them work. So ex. I purchase digital paper and/or clip art to make a notepad)

Also to print them at another business did you take your drawing or painting to them. Can you please help me understand the process. Much appreciated. Thanks and all the best to you.

My daughter and I started our stationery business on Etsy using our own artwork just over a year ago which has ticked along very slowly with very few sales. This year we have tried to get onto Faire so many times (I think 5 times in 4 months) and everytime they just keep telling us that there is far too many people doing Stationery on Faire and will not let us on. Do you have any hints or tips as to how we can get onto Faire please? We sell Greetings cards, bookmarks, wrapping paper, Writing paper gift boxes and lots more. It is so frustrating to be knocked back every time by Faire that keeps letting more and more shops on, but we cannot get onto it. We use only recycled products of paper, envelopes and gift boxes - even the ribbons are recycled plastic bottles. Any help please!

That's so frustrating! I'm not sure I have any extra insight. When I was first denied, it was because they weren't letting sticker makers on at all. So once I saw a brand selling stickers on there, I applied again and got on. Maybe you can highlight what makes you different in your application? My other tip is to make sure you're using social media to drive your sales! Have fun with it and keep trying - it only takes one video to jump start your sales!
