Hi Ken – Anything is possible, but I haven`t really seen or heard it. Of course, “a lot of dough”, “sustainable income”, “short period of time” and “fairly fast” are all relative and open to different interpretations for different people. A lot of dough for one person may not be worth the effort for another person, and for some people, a short period of time can take months. and other years. I think a sticker business that is “sustainable” and profitable over several years is quite feasible. Beyond the “hot idea,” distribution is really essential – bringing it to stores (through hustle and bustle) and online notoriety. Just as a truly viral video is unlikely but happens, a good sticker idea could also go viral – you just need to be ready to stock up when lightning strikes. It is also important to protect the idea as much as possible and take advantage of it early when there is little competition. There is usually not enough money to fight imitators, so it is very important to be able to get to market, especially if there are no plans for other branded or new items. But if there are no plans for more items, it would be a waste of the distribution network necessary for success. I am happy to review or discuss any specific ideas or projects you may have to determine feasibility. Other software options include Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
Artists can choose the program they prefer as long as the software can create a JPG or PNG file. I wonder what equipment I will need. I searched the Internet but couldn`t find an answer.

Hi Adam – Here is a link to another article I wrote about this protection issue. websticker.com/blog/how-do-i-protect-my-great-sticker-idea/ Is it necessary? I`d say this usually isn`t the case, but it`s good to do all the necessary research, put trademark and copyright symbols on art and graphics (no need to sign up), and then pitch the idea in order to stay ahead of any potential competition.

Hi Tati – I have a lot of thoughts about this. Perhaps we could continue to talk. I think that`s an idea that can certainly work. I`m more inclined to a kiosk in a mall than a real store. One of the many beauties of stickers is how little space you need to inventory them and how easy they are to show (just cover a wall or sign, a car or whatever). I think the key to success in something like this would be to keep it small and focus on a specific niche (like kids or your state or action sports, etc.) and have a big name. as well as unique stickers from you. Another advantage is the ease (with today`s technology) of ordering inventory and getting started. Email me if you want to think more – I also have a few stickers that I think would sell well in a kiosk environment. Hi Jeff, I am using Adobe Photoshop to create a design that I want to turn into a wall sticker, please let me know what kind of paper and printer should I use? and is it enough to use Photoshop software to create a wall sticker? Thanks in advance You can also provide your customers with software to make stickers and let them create stickers themselves.
