Help Jessi Figure Out Shop Updates!

Welcome and thank you for taking a few minutes to share your feedback with me here! This survey is to feel out what you might be interested in seeing me offer for future shop collections.

My aim with this survey is to use it to create small, sustainable collections (maybe 1-3 a year) with a limited inventory to minimize waste. Reading your responses will help me determine what routes are best suited for both these purposes and for your tastes!

Thank you so much for sharing your time and your thoughts with me!

What do you prefer to see a small indie shop offer?

A curated collection designed around a singular theme with cohesive designs and/or a motif

A random assortment of the artist's most recent creations, regardless of theme, cohesiveness, etc.

I prefer individual items be added throughout the year on a regular basis

Accessories (bags, bandanas, hats, scrunchies, scarves, etc.)

What time of year do you most often like to see new collections offered?

Spring

Summer

In anticipation of specific religious holidays (Christmas, etc.)

Do you like to see subscription services offered in addition to shop updates?

Yes! I like subscription services (quarterly or monthly) where I regularly receive a small number of updated items (prints, stickers, etc.), and I like being surprised by the artist's choices in items

Yes! I like subscription services to regularly receive items, but I prefer to see what the items are before I sign up/like to know what kind of items they are before I decide. I also like the type of items not to vary too much and don't care for surprises

Yes! I like subscription services for digital access to things like Discord servers, hangouts on Zoom, wallpapers for my phone, etc.

I'm not a big fan of subscription services, but I'm not opposed to them; sometimes I like to hop on for a month or two, then hop back off

I like the idea of subscription services more than the reality
