All righty! You may or may not have heard that my dance company needs new costumes. Usually, they are about 400 to 500 bucks a piece for body, vest, skirt and petticoat but we've found a good and reliable company that will make us blank costumes for about 200 bucks which we then will "decorate" ourselves with glitter and swarovsky stones. In total, we need to raise 230 bucks a piece for 8 costumes.
So my sister had an idea to sell t-shirts. Sadly, us doing the shirts ourselves and then selling them will result in more work than money coming in plus we need to find the shirts up front. So we've decided to go with companies like Cafepress and Zazzle.
THIS IS WHERE WE NEED YOUR HELP!
My sister created a few non fandom graphics herself which she'll put up on a German website and offer them to our dance company and their families. Since I know that won't bring in a lot of money, I thought I could ask my fandoms for help. I want to put Farscape and Doctor Who shirts on Cafepress/Zazzle for sale.
My problem is though - I have no idea what to offer, let alone what people would be interested in.
What would you be interested in?
Do you have a graphic we could use?
How much would you be willing to pay?
And what would you be willing to pay for besides shirts?
We'd be eternally grateful for any input of any sort! Our goal is to get at least half the money for the costumes ourselves. I know, it's almost a grand and probably wishful thinking, but if we don't get a rather larger portion of funding set up for the costumes... we'll go naked! Seriously!
