Fascinating. How to handle the overhead of ordering supplies, maintaining inventory,
etc.? That requires people.
In Zazzle's case, they do it for you--essentially, they print on demand and
then drop-ship the item directly to the person who's ordered it. You-the-designer
set the price point, Zazzle takes a fixed cut in return for its services, and you
get whatever's left over. In other words, you effectively pay a bit more to get the
thing printed in return for them handling the supply, shipping, inventory etc.
hassles for you.
I don't know what fund raising ideas we can use.
Selling shirts and coffee cups requires serious overhead and
personnel. Yet sometimes I wonder what we could do to keep
Trinity moving at a nice speed.
There are websites that are already setup, that make it
relatively easy to sell stuff for you (like zazzle)
