Some great dA product ideas have been officially submitted! THANK YOU.

I am so grateful to everyone who sent me there ideas and requests for products for the dA Shop or to sell in your user pages! Below is an aggregated list of the top products you suggested that I believe warrant further exploration. There were plenty more suggested of course; if you want to fight for something that didn't make this list please do so, I am here to be persuaded. Just keep in mind my biggest qualifier is whether or not the product has broad appeal, is affordable, easy to produce and has marketing legs. Welcome to my world! So here is that list of the top ones that I believe have real merit in no certain order:

1. Art Books AKA Coffee Table Books, Portfolio Books, or Photography Montage Books
2. Art Greeting Cards
3. dA Skins for your laptop, iPhone or iPod (think Gelaskins.com)
4. dA Travel Mugs ( the stainless style variety that fit in your car for your commute)
5. Premium Wallpaper Packs - idea is floated of generating $ to fund and trigger items in your Wishlists!
6. Matted and Framed Art or Photography Prints (Arrives ready to hang)
7. dA branded Art Supplies ( Notebooks, Pens, Stationary, etc)
8. dA branded Camera Bag(s)
9. Self-Printed Tshirts ( you design the Tshirt and have it printed just for you)
10. Business Cards
11. dA Pin ( lapel, hat, etc)
12. Collectible trading cards with dA Artists work
13. Skate board and Snowboard skins
14. Last but not least. dare I add dA branded underwear to this list? There are a couple of important people to convince here at HQ on this one you do realise, right? So no promises, but we should give it a fair shake.
15. Digital Picture Frame -- upload your favorite dArt to a cool Frame that features digital Art, photography, films and animation. Hangs on the wall or sets on your desk.

Now comes the tougher part. If you would like you could help us provide insights as users, Artists and dArt fans over the next few months to help us decide which ones to offer and the features that they may have that will be useful by our group. Look for questions or Polls on my page. Your input is invaluable, trust me, I am a professional. <srs bsns grin>

So that's it for now. You will be pleasantly surprised to know that we ALREADY have two of the above listed products in the WORKS for this Holiday Season! Can you guess which ones?

Enjoy your week's end.

and....Thrive.
