LAUGHING AT MY NIGHTMARE

A long time ago, I proposed the idea of making shirts with my blog name on them, as a way to help spread the word. I decided shirts were too expensive/complicated, but I have a new idea that I think will be 1000 times better and more awesome!

Wristbands.

I want to make silicone (livestrong style) wristbands that say Laughing At My Nightmare!

There are 3 reasons I want to do this:

     1. To make some money for myself.

     2. To raise some money for SMA research. (I was thinking 50% of my profit will be donated to SMA research.)

     3. So we can all have awesome wristbands that everyone will be jealous of.

Here are two initial ideas I had for design:

The wristbands will be the same size as livestrong bracelets, but the text will be printed rather than engraved.

What do you think of these designs? Which one do you like more? Would you be interested in buying one? 

I was considering a price of $2.00 per wristband. Do you think this is a reasonable price? Too high? Too low?

Lastly, I was thinking about selling these through my ebay account, but I was wondering if you guys knew of any other methods for selling a bunch of items online? I can forsee shipping being a hassle, not necessarily that it will be expensive, because it shouldn’t be, but just physically taking them to the post office every time someone orders one. Shipping is the only challenge in my mind, but I’m not too worried about it.

What do you think?!?!?

23. coffees-and-cats answered: I would post on them that you only ship on— and pick two days of the week. That way you can ship multiple orders at once.
24. situationsare answered: I’d say $4 and set up a bigcartel.com account. It’s free and links to a paypal account (just have to pay a paypal fee).Also, reminderband.com
25. russkie69 answered: Purple is a color that’s been rather appropriated by the Gay community. It might confuse. I’d go with the other design.
26. dovesflyfrommyheart answered: If you use USPS you can schedule the postman to pick the packages up with regular mail. Plus the packaging are flat rate prices.

29. angelingx answered: change the font? try the basic category from dafont.com or some font that aren’t as bold. maybe include your tumblr in smaller font size?
30. maeanalda answered: I would buy a dozen and give them to all of my friends! With shipping, if you use usps.com they will pick up at your house for outgoing mail.
