I work with a few of models on graphics and marketing. One thing that seems to be hard to pinpoint is the type of physical merchandise members would like to see. I've looked over tons of profiles and have seen many similar things such as used outfits/panties, cookies or photo prints. I've seen more unique offerings. I've also heard "horror" stories where a model purchased a bunch of a particular product, only to find little to no interest. Obviously, none of the models I work with would want to have a big box of "junk" sitting by her desk, so I'm trying to get a feel for what would work best.
Of course, member tastes and the reasoning behind their choices to buy are near infinite, but I thought I'd ask here on ACF. Models, please feel free to chime in as a fellow perv, and/or if you are willing, share what has worked well for you.
 
Every room is different and what one model sells a ton of, another will never sell. That is something VERY important I think people forget when it comes to merch.
Lot's of models sell panties like crazy, My room however doesn't really care about panties so much, so I stopped offering them.

I'm going to share my honest opinion with you in regards to any "swag" type items. In my experience they are rarely worth the trouble and cost.
I've found that the hours and hours I've spent designing swag items could have been much better utilized creating video content that the masses actually are interested in.
Making fun things for the occasional raffle, sure, that's fun! But I wouldn't expect to sell "merch" type stuff often if listing it on your profile. I have everything from mousepads, mugs, t-shirts and pens. I can't recall the last time anything "swag" was purchased... so I do not waste my creative juices making new items anymore.

Not meaning to be a bummer but creating things you are proud of only to find that nobody gives a shit, well that can be pretty disheartening. It is of my experience and personal opinion that unless they are prizes for a game or raffle, merchandise for general sale is a waste of time.

I still love the canvas print I bought from you. I think art is the best swag, but it can be hard to sale I guess.

Thank you! I actually think Art for me is really better than mousepads and keychains. Its the artistic stuff that I keep doing, such as the comic and prints, soon to be getting back into painting.
Art is by far my favorite thing to put out but I didn't bring it up since it's not really applicable to all models interest and abilities. I'm glad you like it!
I actually keep forgetting to even put a token price on the prints on the profile, I should do that.

Thanks, JJ. Your profile is actually one of the ones I'm referring to with unique offerings. The comic was such a bad ass idea, and those art prints are awesome.
My experience with mouse pads have been hit and miss. With one model, she had received zero interest in the mouse pads. With another, everyone wanted to tip for one as a contest, but when offered at a much cheaper standalone price, we sold one. I'm being asked my opinion on new items to try, but I'm hitting a block when it comes to things I think people may want. Personally, I prefer digital content and my desire for physical content is very little. I most certainly don't want to suggest to them something which will not sell at all. Funnily enough, on one model's profile I draw little cartoons for her tippers as a VIP list and she's been selling the crap out of those, yet physical objects not so much.

I'm to this day using the mousepad the hubbie won in one of your raffles, cause it's pure awesomeness!
 
I ditto JJ your stuff is epic. While I've never received anything the comic book and things from what I've seen are extremely unique and amazing.

I'm trying to offer merchandise as part of a package deal for joining a members group, but not to sell as general merch, I might throw something in a raffle every now & then but even raffles I don't have a ton of luck with so their few and far between. I wish I could offer something more creative than merch I purchase off a website but I'm not creative. I can't draw, I'm not artistic, my only skill is that I can sew. & honestly how many things out there that can be sewed are of any interest to men! Lol

Instead of maybe tangible things, it might be more effective to offer special members only desktop backgrounds?
