This is more of just chatting and sharing with y'all kinda thing. I use to have the Mori Caliope cup I got the shirt as well. Full disclosure I sucked at cleaning my stuff I would let me cups sit for days. It was bad, one day I decided to stop being a POS about cleaning and cleaned my entire room and space. The Cali cup was bad and maybe MAYBE I COULD have saved it if I washed it but, I didn't I tossed it and told myself it's my own fault and that I wasn't allowed to buy any more cups until I learn to take care of shit. So I bought some cheap clear shakers (2) and told myself I have to wash these daily no matter what even if I meant waking up or getting up at 1130pm and forcing myself to wash it. Been doing that for two months now, I've built the habit.

I'm sad Mori Caliope had to be the sacrifice for me to get my shit together. Thankfully my iron mouse cup survived and I preorder the demon dice one. I think I'm ready to take care of my stuff haha.

Anyway, thanks for reading! If work ever picks up or I find a better gig I might pay the horrid eBay prices for Cali.

Hey Y'all! Not sure if it's okay to post this here, but if it's not, my bad!

I’m looking for some outside opinion on a small business I help with. It has been around for about 20 years, is Japanese owned (part of the branding), and works closely with independent artists. All the tees are printed in house in California, and none of the designs are AI made. The brand has a cool vibe and a long history, but the e-commerce side just does not convert the way it should or can imo.

We have tried affiliates and some content creator marketing, but nothing has really clicked yet. The tricky part is that upper management is pretty cautious about spending. Paid media is not off the table, but they are not open to big creator budgets or anything expensive.

So I am mostly looking for ideas that are low cost and realistic for a small brand, not zero budget, but definitely not high spend.

For anyone who has worked with small or artist driven brands, what would you focus on in this situation? Now, if this sounds like we are just dead in the water, then you can let me know that too! ;n;
