			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been tossing around a few ideas for new products I could introduce this year, and figured it would be a good idea to ask for your feedback. Everything is just ideas at this stage, and I haven&#8217;t done detailed investigation of raw materials or costings, so please don&#8217;t be upset if something doesn&#8217;t happen or ends up a bit different!</p>
<p>Possibilities include:</p>
<p>* Adding a mini-sheet of 4 or 6 coordinating stickers to the lettersets. </p>
<p>* Lettersets with larger paper, approximately 6&#215;8&#8243;. This would fit nicely in the current size envelopes when folded in half, and I&#8217;d combine 8 papers with 4 envelopes (and perhaps stickers, as above).</p>
<p>* Or the opposite, teeny-tiny lettersets! About business card size &#8211; little things are super cute. I wouldn&#8217;t be able to print on the envelopes, as my printer freaks out about feeding very small sheets, but I could use nice coloured ones that coordinate with the design.</p>
<p>* Postcards. I&#8217;d offer them individually, with a discount for buying several like with the buttons and magnets. (The main problem with these will probably be choosing which designs to print, I have to do them in bulk which limits the number of designs it&#8217;s practical to have in stock&#8230;)</p>
<p>* Gift tags. I intended the write-on labels to substitute for gift tags, but given how many requests I still get for them it seems there&#8217;s a demand for a more traditional kind as well! Would a flat shape or a folded mini-card be preferable?</p>
<p>* Post-it notes. I haven&#8217;t got quotes for printing these yet so they might be totally unreasonably priced, but it&#8217;s an idea!</p>
<p>* Blank notebooks with illustrated covers, again I&#8217;m not sure how realistic pricing will be on these but I&#8217;m keen on the concept!</p>
<p>Please leave a comment if any of those ideas sound particularly interesting to you, if you have any feedback or suggestions about them, or if there&#8217;s anything else you think might fit into the N&#038;B range well!</p>
<p>(I&#8217;m already planning to re-introduce recipe cards in the coming months, as I think I&#8217;ve figured out a way to produce them satisfactorily, and t-shirts/tote bags are also underway subject to logistics&#8230;)</p>
