Hi Everyone!
I'll be launching a kickstarter soon. Feel pretty good with the creative stuff: video, and website, rewards, and copy, and engagement.
It's the swag that has me 100% stumped. Ordering it for video and then getting it to people.
I've spent HOURS of research but for some reason do not understand what I should do.
I have mock ups of t-shirts and totes from CustomInk - but they don't do shipping from their warehouse. I want to order their mock ups for the video (showing you can get this t shirt and this tote as a reward) and also take photos of this swag for the kickstarter page - but - then I'd have to send out all the t-shirts and totes.
1. And I don't know if this is the best route?
2. How do you cost out the t-shirts and totes? Do you raise the price on them, after you find out what a bulk amount would be?
3. Have you had experience with Zazzle RedBubble or Cafe PRess?
4. Is shipping from home more expensive than going with a company that makes them and ships them out, but how do I find out what company to use?
Please help - this is what is slowing me down. I need advice. Thanks for your time and ideas.
