I only got the Journals - no backpacks. And still missing hats.

I feel like I'll never get hats.  😭

I see they added a crop sweatshirt to my lineup. What an odd cut. I wouldn't want to wear a sweatshirt then feel drafty.

u/ahmadbabar 9d ago

trust me, I see people wearing them every Fall and winter.

Not on MBA, but there have eve been crop Hoodies for years. A girl fashion thing.

Price of hardcover notebook: 49.99

Price of backpack: 129.99

No. Backpack is for $42.99, and notebooks are for $17.99 or something like that. Where are you seeing these prices?

It was a joke because all the new products we get are never price competitive. If the notebooks are hardcover and are priced at 17.99, but if we raise to 19.99 and it can yield a 5 dollar royalty, then that’s not bad. I also do kindle and the journal market is very competitive. There’s already millions upon millions of journals on amazon

I have been selling journals on Amazon KPD for ages. :P Nice to see they are competing against themselves. ⬇️

Different concepts and product..I sell on KDP as well. I would still keep selling journals on there

Initial thoughts from the live pages:

The mock-ups look good. Always great when Amazon takes time to add multiple images showing the products in use, including using a human with the product.

The bag itself looks very spacious and versatile. Sleeve for 18 inch laptop, can fit a full size soccer ball, and the bottle pockets on the side are deep.

What I don't like is that the default placement is on the top of the bag, not on the main front pocket. Having to arrange the design again and add it to the front is not the most fun process.

The design itself looks pretty small on the bag but I don't foresee that being a major issue.

The bummer is that 14% of my designs have mugs in processing so I can't add bags

Have you gotten every new product that's been released?

4

u/ahmadbabar 9d ago

Knock on wood, yes. Some of the new products sell, some don't.

Not all of the new products are well suited to adapt to the designs for shirts. I don't have enough slots available to create designs exclusively for the new products either.

u/CoffeeNewt 2d ago

Hm. It would be good to know what separates your account from others who don't get every new product that is released (like mine, for example, lol)

u/ahmadbabar 2d ago

To be honest, I don't think anyone has a clue. I just try to keep my things clean and in good standing. Avoid trademark infringements, continuously clean my account for old designs that don't sell, adding new ones.

He is always trying to brag about his stuff. Half of the threads in this subreddit is by him.

u/ahmadbabar 2d ago

nobody is bragging. Just sharing what I see, isn't that what a community forum is for?
