2023-08-21 Merch progress report

A small progress report…

I’ve ordered the postcards. I don’t really think the art book covers are good enough for postcards, so I only printed 5 sets (10 cards each); not sure if anyone will want them, I’ll deal with that later. The TAT postcards are the anniversary illustrations plus one hidden design (one random out of three). All of the images have been posted on the web and SNS.

I’m nervous about the acrylics because of the color adjustments (). I also ordered a few keychains as gifts, though I’m not sure about what the actual goods will be like…
They are finally shipped out! *fingers crossed*

Most of the tasks are done. I can finally take a break for a few days…My health check results are not a big problem. No issues with my lumbar or cervical spine, just muscle strain from sitting for long hours…along with some other small things (stressed and weak). I can only exercise more (no more sitting in front of my desk)…My parents start to drag me out for walks😂.
I’ll think about how to balance exercise and projects (:з」∠). (not giving up the projects!)

Not sure if there’s still time for making stickers and washi tapes. It would be a pity not to have my own sealing stickers…I also bought some photo props, a bunch of wrapping paper and ribbons, tho I’m not good at taking beautiful merch photos or making cute packages.
The wraping paper looks nice, but when stuffed into a white plastic bag, it somehow look dirtily colored… I’ve bought a bunch of wraping materials for trials and errors, which became a bit costy😂😂.

I can start packaging when the postcards and acrylics arrive…(if I don’t print tapes and stickers)>_<
I originally planned to package and ship as soon as I got home, but it turned out to be endless whooshing noise of deadlines…(I have a feeling, the noise will be there untill September).

As for my holiday, I went to a shopping mall with my friends. The little shops are so much fun. I also had my first milk tea at Chagee (It’s extremely popular in China, very delicious!) And the osmanthus latte from Starbucks is also really tasty. That’s what I love about China, everything is so delicious(!)


小小的谷子进度汇报

定了第二波明信片,
美术书封面感觉不是很好用,只印了5套(一套10张),不造有没有人要,以后再说吧,
TAT的明信片是7周年贺图+一张隐藏款(三张随机一张),都是以前发过的图,大礼包尽量把三张都塞上🥺

第二波亚克力有调色所以还是有点紧张(),还印了几个钥匙扣想当特典,不知道什么效果……
终于发货了(但是包裹还没有揽收……)

该办的事差不多都办了,终于可以喘口气休息几天……体检结果问题不大,腰椎颈椎也都没问题,腰肌劳损,精神紧张,体质虚弱,只能多锻炼,真的不能坐着了,于是会被爹妈强行拉去散步😂
以后会再想想怎么平衡运动和填坑(:з」∠)
(填还是会填的(!

贴纸和胶带不知道还来得及不,没有自己的封口贴真的会很遗憾!
谷美道具也买了一点,包装纸和丝带买了一大堆,但我还是觉得摆拍水平非常不行,包装的sense也很不行,牛皮纸信封+雪梨纸+星星网纱挺好看,但塞进白塑料袋里怎么就看着颜色脏脏的(……(照片开了很大滤镜
狂买一堆材料,试包装的成本还挺大的😂😂
翻出万圣节胶带封了个口(幸亏什么都带了一点回来!),加点黄色好看,思考一下需要什么样的胶带(

这几天如果有空就搞一搞(!
又下单了一波包装用品,等片片和亚克力都到了(如果不印胶带和贴纸)就可以包装了>_<
但是忍得住不印吗,我原本打算是回家就可以包装寄快递了,没想到还是没完没了的死线滑铲……(有种要滑铲到9月的预感(。

去逛商场了,现在的小店都好好玩,在霸王茶姬喝了第一杯奶茶(好喝!),星巴克的桂花拿铁也好好喝,总之啥都好吃啥都好喝(!
