Product Planning

I get asked a lot about products and how I plan them, so there’s a simple answer, I think about what I would like. I look at the photos that I have and I think about what I would like to see them on. Would I like to see them on a canvas, a keyring, a mount or a card.

Sometimes it’s hard to know what will look good on a product without making it first and sometimes it doesn’t work, but that’s the meaning of trial and error right? (That’s what I’m going with anyway).

I sometimes try out products myself; I may give a card to someone or a keyring, or I might just wing it and put it on a canvas and hope that it will succeed.

If I’m doing an event, I plan my products very carefully. I don’t like to make too many of the same product incase I am left with it for a long time, however that being said I make sure I have a certain number of the same design and product so that I have them available as soon as someone places an order. Once I am out of that design or product I will then be able to explain that it has sold out for the day, but take the order and post it to them the following day. This then gives me time to make more products, sell what I have already and create new business.

I love making different products as well as taking new photos for potential products.

I hope you all enjoy them as much as I do creating them.
