Custom mug marketing images

Brilliant work :-) I just know that my customers would question the mug handle though! Very different to the 10oz mugs I use.

Thanks Justin, it's not an issue to model other handle types to better reflect your own stock.

I trust you alan ;)
as you dont even need high res photos there is no much use of somone else graphic for you.

how much??

Hi Al,

thanks for your reply and the thought you put into it. To be totally honest I had the question in my head and I was going to leave it to someone else to ask but thought I would throw it out in the open first - I'm glad I did!

Whichever way you do business I am sure that everyone will be happy and as I said before Al, it's not a case of distrusting anyone - it's protection of assets and I know that you would feel the same way.

I think all we need now is confirmation of prices, if there is an extra charge for the image shown in 3 angles (like your examples) and if there is any discounts for bulk buyers?

Oh - and like Justin said, it would be nice to change the handle to match the generic mug (maybe based on the european mug below?), after all it would be a shame to put all this effort into something and then have someone say "the handle on my mug's different".

Well done Al - waiting on you now mate :-)

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who commented and enquired on the rendering idea, all very positive. I'm struggling with costs though so what I'd like to do is propose a cost and get some feedback on it, over-priced, under-priced, reasonable, lemme know.

For a set of 3 images using one design (shown below) with your own artwork, what does everyone think of £6 (£5 if your a full member of the forum), embarrassing admission - I'm not a full member myself yet, but I will be soon :) and happy to discount further for bulk buyers.

Justin - I've revised the handle, the old one was a bit on the large side, oops :)







Like I said, I'm just throwing it out there for feedback. What I would also like to offer is a free set of renders to everyone who commented on the thread (Justin, AdamB, Paul and Sarahjayne) just PM me with your email address and we'll sort out getting your own set of renders showing your own artwork.

Cheers
Al

is that a made up image ???????
i would never of known the difference
wow well done

i love the idea of it all but on my shop the images are all square
anything else and it would throw it out and not look right i think
altho i haven't checked lol
*note for today check with an oblong image

Very fair price alan! I dont know if you looked on my mug on my site. I payed muh more for similar thing but my is flash animated an is rotating...

[AdamB]

On the other side of the fence on this one Al (thanks for the FREE render by the way appreciated).

To be honest (hey, it's always the best way) this would be out of my budget if I was going to get all my templates done onto renders.

I don't have a problem taking a photo of a mug so this would have been an alternative to that but at the price you suggested it would be cheaper to make every mug and taken a photo of it - then I'd have a digital example plus an actual product to look and feel.

This was a mug that I made last week and took some images of it to show someone else that was asking about the same theme:

This is what i was thinking adam. Great idea if you need nice mokeup for catalogue or email sample etc...


Alan. How many pwople will order more then 3 you recon??? Many? i dont know. I have about 400 designs and if i would like to render them all i would have to get the morgage lol. How about sell your template for about £15-£20 and everyone would create they own graphics whenever they want :-)
just an idea ;-)

[AdamB]

Paul, I don't think it's a case of having the template - but more being able to use the 3D render software and the maniplulation of the image onto the 3D image, unless you have the program I'm sure the template will be useless (i.e this isn't done in corel draw or photoshop).

I may be wrong though? (over to you Al)
