Alan. How many pwople will order more then 3 you recon??? Many? i dont know. I have about 400 designs and if i would like to render them all i would have to get the morgage lol. How about sell your template for about £15-£20 and everyone would create they own graphics whenever they want :-)
just an idea ;-)
Paul I think the graphics might be put on the template with a program such as Boxshot 3d so if that is the case then the template would be of no use without the program.

Al, just one thing customers who don't kow anything about Dye Sub might look at the images and think that the wrapped completely around to the handle, could the image be adjusted to show the gap?
I also am of the mindset that the price is prohibative if more than the ocassional mug needs doing.

Hi all,

Thanks for feedback, very much appreciated. I think the cost I tentatively proposed for feedback is way off, I had no idea of the number of designs people were offering, a complete re-think is in order, I'd appreciate help too to help find the best solution and cost. I think something more realistic would be in the region of a pound per render and not to offer a fixed 'bundle' of 3 which keeps things flexible and let's people state exactly what they want regarding image sizes and mug model positioning, does this seem fair?

Please, please, please propose other solutions.

Smitch6 - Can supply render square or oblong in whichever size required, flexibility is the key here, everyone has their own way of selling and no two sites are the same, the service won't work if people have to alter their existing site, offering fixed image ratios was just silly, sorry about that guys, oops :\

Paul - Good idea and I wish I could but as Jack mentioned the template model is in 3D, people would need the 3D program and know how to use it to apply their own designs to the model.

Just to clarify, I'm proposing £1 per render instead of £2 per render in a 3 view 'bundle' so that people wouldn't be ordering images they won't use and can order renders that match their needs.

Thoughts appreciated
Al

sorry guys :)
I know this is not in corel or ps. is in 3d studio or similar and i am VERY quick learner :)
so in my case i woul preffer to pay few quid and do the rest by my self. but I am sure this solution is not best for Al.

Is this an option Al?

As Paul said - most of us are quick learners and it would be more cost effective to do them ourselves - not sure your views on it though?

You could have a sliding scale with qty discount.

1 @ £5.00 each
2 off @ £4.00 each
3 off @ £3.00 each
4 off @ £2.00 each
5+ off @ £1.00 each

you can change the above prices to what you think but this could work

Just like to say though - even as good as it looks, i'm afraid i'll stick to my camera.

Hi John,

Thanks for that, you want me to put prices UP???? :) lol, I proposed new prices in my last post, just £1 each (even if ordering one) with a further discount for bulk.

I haven't had any feedback on the new prices yet so we'll see what happens.

All the best
Al

Hi FlyingAl,
Sorry mate, not been the best of days - I should have read your post twice. :wink: The images look very good and I can see you getting quite a few orders at the price you're suggesting.

Cheers John
