my friend has a fursuiting business but we have no views whatsoever :'( can you guys at look at the website? and you can order stuff if you want ;D
http://furprizecostumes.webs.com/ (http://furprizecostumes.webs.com/)
suggestion. she needs to post some of the stuff she makes and demo it no one is going to buy just based off a price sheet.
its in the gallery
Even if its in the photo gallery, when you sell to the public, you must assume people are lazy (no offense to anyone!)
You must make the commission prices as clear as possible, including example links or photos put into the page.
In this day and age, if a person cannot find what they are looking for in 3-5 seconds (on the internet) they will look elsewhere, which means no commissions for your friend.
The links at the top of the page are really hard to see, they dont stand out. It took me a good while to figure out where the gallery page was. :3
Just some info for your friend~ (i didnt want to spam their commission email with this) I wish them luck!
ok, il edit the site
The site has been renovated for the better. :P There are pics and now its easier to find the links (i dunno really what to call them) :hug:
I have to ask, how old is your friend? Most people won't commission minors period, especially not for something as cost-intensive as a fursuit. There's no legal way for someone to pursue their money/product in case something goes wrong during the process if the artist is a minor. If she is, I'd *strongly* recommend putting that on the front page so that people are aware of that going in. :B Apart from that, best of luck!
Just a heads up, I clicked the link to the site and it is down......might want to fix that.
its either http://furprizecostumes.webs.com/ (http://furprizecostumes.webs.com/) or you lokked at the site RIGHT when we updated it XD
Just one criticism if you want this to be a reputable businesses try to refine the language you use. This includes proper grammar and trying to use a more mature vocabulary. People are entrusting you with a lot of money so you have to show that you are mature enough to handle that responsibility.
I know T^T its just my friend (who does most of the writing) isn't the best writer
all in all, is my friends fursuits/drawing ok?
And i think im going to ask her to lower some prices like for art/badges
please leave feedback (I dont mind negitive comments I just need to know what to change on the site)
:hug:
You are very excited with what you are doing I give you props for that. You may not see any costumers till you make a name for yourself and post some of your art work. It's not going to happen overnight it might not happen this year. In order for artists to go from where you are now to where you would like to be, they have been doing this for years to all their life. You can show off your links and ask for feedback but the level of workmanship doesn't correspond with the $$ Right now you're looking for a quick buck. You have a great start for your ages but need to practice a lot more. Post more artwork do little project like maybe tails ears practice your techniques and show them off. You are off to a great start I hope that you keep with it and expect great creations from the two of you.
:-3
argh I have a picture of a nice badge but imgur isn't working for me
if imgur starts to work i'll have a pic up in no time but there are pics on the site.
and since no one is buying anything we are doing an event where the first ten people that buys a badge its only 5$
P.S.im not the one drawing, its my friend I am a horrible drawer :(
-Lime <3
Here is the sample (http://i.imgur.com/lPtUU.jpg) and im using my badge as my profile pic too
but my badge was a bit rushed so there is no shading or much detail
Im open to more criticism 8)
I really need feedback :o
There isn't much more feed back to give. Gain more experience by making ears, tails, gloves, and feet. Don't just sit around waiting for someone to order. Show off the stuff you make whether it be at a con or festival or whatever. People don't know you exist so you have to show them that you do. Also by the look of it your friend had only one fursuit under her belt which isn't much experience compared to people that have been doing it for years, but do remember they started exactly where you did.
thank you ;) :-3
alot of fursuit commission advertisement comes from the fursuits that are out & about, free advertisement XD like ravewoif says get out there and show people what you can do.
Me and my friend are working on my fursuit! ;D
