I have a couple of other “hobbies” that have websites/business dedicated to samplers for those hobbies. I feel like it is cost prohibitive and wasteful to buy 10-50-100 packs of strings because if you don’t like them there isn’t much you can do.
Does anyone know of a sampler that gives you 3-5 strings of a few brands(kitty, blueprint, toxic, sOMETHING…etc)? It is a good way to charge a little more per string because it allows me to try a few. So instead of 16 cents per string you can charge 25 and I can try out a few different brands to see what I like.
Yoyoz used to do this but is unfortunately gone now (and as it was in the uk shipping would have been more than the pack).
Would be cool to see a couple of new shops use the idea though! ;D
I know a blade sample company(For old school shaving tryablade.com) thats only purpose is to allow you to customize a sampler. They do pretty well for themselves as well. They charge a little markup on each blade but since they are $0.10-$0.50 each, a little markup isn’t terrible.
