Hello,

I'm going to start selling mug designs and try to become a supplier.

Here is my first pack (Teacher Pack), all my own designs. All designs come in PSD format and ready to be personlised.

Would anyone be interested in buying this kind of thing? And what sort of subject would you like to see?

Each pack would be £10.00.

After some research, I've found out that templates that are currently for sale on the internet, use out-dated designs and have not much style to them. I'm trying to offer a fresh design approach, something a little bit something and upmarket.

But at this stage, I'm just finding out interest not selling.

why not? I am sure he puts more time in to them than a tenner worth?
Also mind that you keep them forever and you gain commercial licence. 2 mugs sold and you already made tour tenner up :)

Hmm ... I see your point Paul, but that's from the viewpoint of him selling one set of designs.

If he sells the same set 100 times then he will have made £1,000 for his efforts with no extra work attached. I think a couple of quid would have been a more respectable price to ask, and I certainly wouldn't have paid £10 for them.

However, others may have different opinions and its all about how desperately you need them and how much you are willing to pay.

Tricky bit, is if he sells it a 100 times, how many of the same mug are then going to be popping up all over Ebay, Amazon, Etsy, Folksy, NOTHS ... it doesn't work well as a business model long-term for him or his customers, unless there's some kind of exclusivity clauses within the license.

If they were more elaborate then I might be tempted for a tenner but not for those, also those templates wouldn't print like the mock ups shown.
