I'm thinking of possibly creating a new newsletter experience - a 'penpal club,' based on traditional 'snail mail.' Would you be interested in receiving physical mail rather than a digital newsletter?
Regarding a physical newsletter, I'm initially thinking of an idea based on a seasonal theme and correspondence. This would entail 4 mailed letters a year. These letters would include a decorative envelope, with a typed letter of news and stories from me, along with a gift (i.e: a mini signed art print/stickers/bookmark). Would this be of interest to you? If so, do you have any suggestions of what you would like to be included?
How much would you be willing to spend on a seasonal newsletter by post? (4 per year)
On another topic, I would love to read your thoughts on customer experience. When you receive an order from me, do you appreciate the branded gift wrapping that I use? Or would any type of gift wrapping be suitable and appreciated? At the moment I use a tissue paper I design myself, with my logo on it. This type of packaging costs more, so I'm wondering is it something I should continue to invest in, or find non-branded pretty alternatives?
A product I may add in future are calendars. As it can be tricky to know how many to get printed, and because I do not want to be left with unnecessary waste, I am leaning towards offering perpetual calendars. This type of calendar can be used for any year. Would this option put you off from purchasing a calendar? Or would you prefer a calendar associated with a year?
Are there particular products you would like me to consider adding to my shop in 2026 onwards?
What country do you reside in?
