How was pricing determined for your store?
Store prices take into account the cost of production for items as well as a small markup to generate a small amount of profit per bundle, which we will be used to compensate our contributors for their incredible work. Our goal is to provide our contributors with a physical copy of their work for free (i.e., a free full bundle and complimentary shipping).
As our project includes a 170+ paged zine and an exclusive array of merchandise, the prices set in our store are inclusive of these costs and are priced as competitively as possible according to market value.
