What is a Company Share Post?
Half the trouble with merchandising your art is discovering what all of your options are. For that reason, when I discover a new company that caters to independent artists, I'll share it with you as a Company Share post. This is not a review, and the companies I share have no idea I'm writing about them. The purpose of this is just to let you know whats available so you can investigate and see if the services are right for you.

Beespoke
I found out about this company when an artist from the Artist Alley Network International Facebook group shared this company.

There are a few things that made Beespoke stand out as a printer worth sharing.
Currency Converter Pricing
Beespoke is a company based in the UK and by default displays all prices in GBP (British Pounds). But you can easily change all pricing to your currency using a nifty drop down menu at the top of the site. So when you select USD (US dollars) all prices on the site are conveniently converted to USD. I find this helpful for knowing with certainty how much my order is going to cost, rather than relying on my somewhat dubious math skills.
Zero Limit Printing
Typically when you print buttons through a company, they have specific amounts you can order like a set 50 buttons, and all the buttons have the same design. So, if you want 20 different button designs you end up having to order 50 of each kind. Which can be quite a burden on the budget.
Beespoke offers Zero Limit Printing, which according to the website means that if you order 50 buttons (or whatever it is you are ordering) then you can have 1 or 50 designs or "any number in between", at NO extra charge. Yay!
Crystal Shard Sticker Sheets
Sparkly, holographic stickers are becoming more popular, but its not always easy to find companies that can shinify your stickers. Beespoke has an option on their sticker sheets to add the Crystal Shard Effect.
Packaging
If you like your art to come in a cellophane bag with cardboard backing they have packaging options with some of their products.
Portfolio Books
Beespoke is geared specifically to meet the needs of convention artists. They print inexpensive portfolio books for customers to flip through at your table. This is really nice if you take on site commissions and want to show what you can do.
Bundling
This nifty idea allows you to get a variety of products and save some money. There are general bundles which include different print sizes, buttons, stickers and sticker sheets. And there are specialist bundles which focus specifically on one product.
Rewards Program
There is also a rewards program where you earn points for every pound you spend. Earned points will save you money on future orders. Obviously they value their customers, and want to have them come back because they are happy with their service.
Definitely check out all of the options. Even if you don't order from them, it may give you a better idea of what you are looking for in a company.
