Every day of month of October I am doing Ink art mostly Halloween theme, because I really do love Halloween. Halloween is my favorite time of year. In the video below is Day 4th of Inktober 2019. In the video is a code for Free Shipping to any order over $21.00 at www.mariahargis.com.
You can follow me everyday on Twitter for a new Ink art at @hargis_maria. Check out the “Spider and Qrow” T-shirt and I also have it on a jacket perfect for Fall.
Here is a video that I have made of my tips for design and sell your t-shirt using Printful. Printful is very easy to used and the design on the T-shirt and other items are very high quality.
So today I got some good news. President Trump have put in place a tariff on China products. Of course the large retail stores are not happy with it. Because it mean they will have to raise their prices on their product or change over to made in USA products.
This is good news for me because my products on my website, http://www.mariahargis.com are made in USA. My vendors get their product from American manufacturing companies so my prices will not be affected by this. It have been a challenge to compete with large retails stores such as Walmart. For example a mug at Walmart is price at $4.99 with little stuff in them. However, I could never price mugs at that price for good are listen higher at low quality under 50 items. One mug from the vendor is like $11.00. If you would wondering my mugs are price at $15.00 and this is normal with fellow vendors at anime and comic con.
Which I think is better for everyone, this means that the playing field will be level out so that small entrepreneur can compete with large retail stores. In fact, I have decide that I am going to have a sale for 4th of July to celebrate this change. I will be running a 20% off sale from today til July 7th, 2019 on all items except prints. I will be working on 3 new designs for 4th of July and will be release them on my product page on Monday June 17th, 2019. Use the code: MADEINUSA4
Many people say that they wish to support artist, the biggest way I feel like you could support us is to buy our art and products. We enjoy creating and wish to be able to create more. I get a lot of prices that my art is wonder but that alone does not confirmed that you like my art. When people really do appreciate something, they will show it with their wallets.
Sorry if this post turn into a sale pitch, I used to work in sales so it is a habit when I am talking about products. Feel free to tell me what you think of the tariff on China goods. Is this a bad thing or good thing for USA?
