I’ve started working on my Merch line up for BLushCon this upcoming June. I already have existing merch stocks from before that I’m going to sell so at least I already have some!
Apart from those I already have, I made three (3) additional sk8 merch: (1) tadaai sticker sheet, (2) tadaai heart pin, and (3) lanreki heart pin. I’m in the middle of making a machablossom heart pin one. So far these are my designs:
I want to make an Ainosuke pin but maybe I should stall producing them.
The con I’m going to this June will be outside of the province where I’m currently residing and my friend suggested that I should at least try to earn back the money I spent. I thought about this already but the reason I joined this con in the first place is not because I want to make a profit, so it’s okay even if I don’t earn back everything, I just want to experience exhibiting my fanbook at least once.
Sk8 is a niche fandom, and it’s not really that popular in the Philippines. Despite that though I really like it! That’s the reason why I’m motivated to make merch for the fandom. Good thing I am also part of the JJK which is popular. I ship satosugu and itafushi so I’m going to make merch for them also. I’m also thinking of making tododeku merch but I’m still not sure whether I should pursue it or not.
What is clear to me is that I should design merch first before thinking about my catalogue for BLushCon. Huhuhu
Moreover, everybody seems to be looking forward to the convention. I hope I can sell alot. It’s my first time tabling properly. I accompanied my friend last time to observe and tried selling sk8 merch there. That was my only experience. I was culture shocked. I’m not a sociable person that’s why I was surprised. At least now I know how tabling sorta works. I think I can mentally prepare myself now.
