I could really use your input / Podria usar mucho de tu ayuda

 I need your input.  I really do.  I love being able to offer editable party kits so you personalize kits for your children, no matter if the party is big or small--let's face it personalized party printables are just awesome. But there is a small group of my customer base that is abusing this service and exploiting the files to resell them , print and sell etc. and claiming my photos as their own for their "business". I may be forced to stop offering editable party kits and just offer non-editable kits that I personalize for you. But then--where does that leave the customers who use the kits as intended?

(1) Would you pay a premium of $25 to have a personalized non-editable kit?

(2) Would you want printed & shipped items of the personalized kits?

Queridos fans:

Necesito su opinión! Me encanta ofrecer kits editables para sus fiestas, para que ustedes mismos los puedan editar para sus hijos sin importar si la fiesta es grande o pequeña. Vamos a ser honestos, los imprimibles editables para fiestas son fabulosos! Pero hay una minoría de gente que compra mis productos que están abusando de este servicio y están explotando de mis archivos para después venderlos o los imprimen y los venden, etc. y están reclamando a mis fotos como si fueran de sus “negocios”. Este dilema me está forzando a que deje de ofrecer kits editables para fiestas y solo ofrecer kits que yo personalice por ustedes. Pero me pongo a pensar que estoy privando a mis clientes que están utilizando los kits de la manera correcta. Tengo estas preguntas:

1- Estarían dispuestos a pagar $25 dólares por un kit que yo personalizo por ustedes?

2- Les gustarían artículos personalizados por mí, ya imprimidos y se los mandaría por correo?

Necesito mucho de su ayuda y opinión. Gracias!

un abrazo-Linnette

  1. I can´t believe those people! Taking your items and claim them as their own. I am so sorry they do this.
    To answer your questions:
    1. I do not care to much about personalised kits, so I would go for the cheaper unpersonalised one.
    2. I would consider buying the printed ones, just because it is a lot easier, and I think it would be great to recieve a paperglitter package in the mail :)

  3. I love your printable kits!!! I've ordered a few party kits and really love being able to personalize items. When I was doing my daughters party I was able to personalize items for kids who I had no idea were coming during the party. That made them feel really special and I wouldn't have been able to do that if I couldn't add my own text to your printables. Buying a kits that's already printed out and personalized isn't a bad idea but I'm just wondering how much more that would cost.

  5. Me fascina mucho tu trabajo, lo conocí hace algún tiempo pero no e tenido la oportunidad de comprarte nada, la verdad buscando por internet me parece que la calidad de tu trabajo es espectacular y no se consigue en ningún otro lugar, entiendo tu punto de vista y la verdad aprovechando que próximamente se acerca el cumpleaños de mi bebe, no me molestaría pagar para que lo personalizaras, al contrario me quitarías mucho tiempo que no tengo en el realizar este proceso, antes si me lo entregas impreso seria lo mejor, aunque no se que tan sencillo quede esta parte ya que vivo en Colombia y no se los gastos de envío. Espero que te sirva mi opinión ;) Psd: espero que si pueden realizar envíos internacionales me lo hagas saber. ah, y otra cosa no se dice imprimidos se dice impresos ;)

  7. Hola! Soy de Argentina y también me encanta tu trabajo... es verdaderamente hermoso. No me molestaría pagar por tu trabajo terminado, y para ser honesta, creo que es mejor, porque los editables (free) tienen espacio limitado y hay veces que los textos (por ser más extensos) no quedan muy bien.... Mi inquietud es la misma que la Sra. de Colombia.... ¿Podrías enviárnoslo por correo? ¿Aumentaría mucho el precio de los productos?

  8. I really like having the option of a personalised kit but dont think i could justify the premium price and would therefore choose the cheaper version. I also like in the UK and therefore a parcel would probably cost too much. Im sorry this is happening to you, what rotten people! Josephine x

  9. I thinking create a License Agreement with a one time fee for customers who are looking to use your printables for there business would be best! Let's face it, your creations are unique and beautiful! Who would not want to use it for there business. By creating this agreement you still own the rights but are not losing out on potential income!!!
