AATOTD#16: For those in the US with online stores, consider using https://t.co/iMdWLwVx2J or https://t.co/EKGJHvE8aT for shipping. It's cheaper than going into the post office and you can print labels and ship straight from your mailbox!

AATOTD #15: Bringing someone to help you table at cons can be helpful in a lot of ways! It's useful to have someone guard your table while you're out shopping or on bathroom breaks, and you have someone to help with setup and breakdown.

AATOTD#12:
Let a product prove itself before stocking a ton of it. Even if you think you have a winner, test it out at a con or online first. If you sell a lot, great! If you don't, you didn't waste a bunch of money.

AATOTD#9: Zip ties are a lifesaver when it comes to table display construction! Always carry some to help stabilize your display, both in an emergency and as a preventative measure.

AATOTD #5:
When referring to your customers, use gender neutral pronouns unless you are certain of their gender. Convention goers are all different, and just as they should respect you, you should respect their identity. It will mean the world to some!

AATOTD #4: It's ok to use the same designs for different merchandise. Many people are partial to certain items and might buy one design on a charm but not on a button or vice versa. It's hard to predict what will sell so a diverse product mix helps!

AATOTD #3: For fan-artists, don't try to stock artwork from every series. You'll never be able to please everyone, so stick to what you know/want to make merch of. You'll have more fun talking to people about series you know, too!
