First off we just wanted to thank everyone for the incredible support we have received at the Splatter Emporium over the last 3 months. None of this could be possible without everyone who showed us support and purchased our products! This is only the beginning and we can't wait to show you the new products we have been working on behind the scenes.
With all that being said we need your help to see what types of products or services you'd like us to offer. We want to offer a complete WAM experience and have some ideas but ultimately we want your feedback to create an amazing experience for all of our users. We have lots of ideas we want to run through in this forum to test the waters and see what people think.
Now, these are all ideas on the drawing board so to speak so we can't give full specifics on costs etc. just yet.
One of our biggest questions has been focused around product discreetness. We understand WAM is not something the outside world knows or cares to understand so we take pride in shipping our products in discrete packaging where nobody will know what is inside. With that being said it gave us some ideas. Now personally as a wammer myself I would always have a voice in the back of my mind telling me the checkout worker at the grocery store would judge my order as I walk up purchasing 20 cans of shaving cream making it harder for me to have the EPIC sessions I've always dreamed of. This inner thought would make me put everything back on the shelves and just purchase what I thought was a "Normal" amount to avoid the public embarrassment of WAM. Now, I have no idea how many other people think like me because I can definitely be the crazy one here, however I'd like to think there is a group of fellow people that feel the same as me. This is what led us to the idea of bulk purchasing common grocery WAM items and shipping directly to customers discreetly. I have no clue what types of pricing we'd get but I'd assume it would be slightly more cost to YOU the consumer in exchange for having that privacy and convenience. Again this is a forum just testing out ideas so if nobody would benefit from this we have no hard feelings and are just trying to find ways to help the WAM community be more fun/better/and accessible.
Onto the next idea!
We have given thoughts about building mystery boxes for purchase that will give people a surprise messy session. Some examples we could think of would be having a Savory Box, Sweet Box, Gunge Box, or even a mix of all. Inside these boxes would be a bunch of random ingredients (that constantly change) to ensure an amazing session while also having the element of surprise. We have toyed with the idea of introducing a monthly subscription for WAM products shipped straight to your door each month and thought these boxes could work perfectly for that, or even just be a stand alone one time purchase. We've even thought about including WAM Instructions for those who WAM solo, or just want to have that extra fun of a session not being "in your control" -- We'd love feedback on these ideas as we think it could help create a NEW and UNIQUE experience when purchasing products. (We could even hire producers/models to create this as a video if that would be more appealing than just reading a paper). We would include a way to let us know which substances are off limits or what your preferences are and we would curate your box from that.
Again just all ideas on paper at the moment but if enough support arises we will factor out potential costs for these experiences.
I just wanted to thank everyone again for the help and support. We can only improve with your feedback so we'd love to hear as much of it as possible. We want to enhance everyones WAM experiences and elevate this to a new level.
This will be it for now and I can't wait to read and reply to your responses! Just a reminder at Splatter Emporium all of our US Orders of $40+ has FREE SHIPPING and we do ship internationally!
The mystery box idea sounds fun! I like that you already thought of splitting the boxes into certain categories too. Personally I'm not a fan of savory mess but sweet is appealing, so being able to choose would go a long way!
I'm absolutely someone who worries about people giving me weird looks at the grocery store and honestly I would be willing to pay a little extra money to avoid it!
Curiouspaints said: What about a black or dark colored bag that goes to cover the gunge when shipped?
Right now we use blank white poly mailers which depending on the colors you order, you can kinda see through it. There is no way to tell what the item actually is but can just see some of the vibrant colors. We could look into switching to a dark or black mailer if enough people wanted that extra level of privacy. That being said we do have a few customers that request we ship in a box and we are more than happy to provide that! If someone wants that, they can simply place an order and shoot us a message on any of our platforms with the order number and we will happily take care of it!

Definitely! I personally go through waves of WAM where I can't decided on substances so a surprise might just be what people need to enhance their sessions. We are just trying to find a good target price point people would pay for this experience. Any thoughts?

I am so glad I am not the only one! I appreciate your answer and maybe we will look into offering this!
Also side note to anyone following/reading this... If you are a lurker and don't want your comments shown be sure to just send us a message and it will be kept anonymous to us! Just genuinely looking for some feedback.
I LOVE the idea of a monthly subscription. I would definitely love to get slime shipped to me monthly.
I share your embarrassment when it comes to shopping for WAM sessions. Even when I do curbside pickup, I feel a sense of embarrassment when my shaving cream, pie crusts and cake batter is brought to my car.
I've seen a number of subscription boxes priced at $20-40/mo depending on what the box is, how much is inside, and if it's imported goods or not. Somewhere in there seems reasonable to me; my guess would be around the $30 price point. Any thoughts on how much you'd want to include in a box? Part of the price also has to cover shipping of course, and I'll bet sweets and savories will weigh a fair bit more and take a larger box than slime packages. You might even want to have the slime mystery box be a lower price compared to the others because it ships relatively smaller and lighter.
I also don't like buying a shit ton of supplies at the store, but AimMe does not care one bit so we usually split up at checkout. One thing that would nice is being able to buy bulk shaving cream cans or shaving soap pucks that are cheaper than Amazon. They're surprisingly expensive (compared to Walmart) on Amazon as are the pucks. I'd def be interested in something like that. Maybe things like those squirt guns that you put the tip into water then pull to fill it and just push to squirt it out, you could find ones that work with gunge and sell those? Stuff like that would be cool imo.
A mix for making pies would be ideal! I generally use shaving cream because my wife is not fond of the dairy smell that lingers with whipped cream or cool whip. Having a nice non-dairy/ non-sugar option to replace shaving cream (which is good but a little to "stiff" for lack of a better word) would definitely be somethingi would buy. I bought some of your slime mix but haven't found time yet to use it, but from the looks of the promo videos, it far exceeds the quality of other slime mix I've purchased in the past from Amazon.
