Hey everybody... it's time for another poll! You guys all know that I love brainstorming new ideas. These are some ideas that come to mind when I think of our future. Don't forget part 2 of Daisy drops tonight, and to sign up for emails if you haven't already! https://subscribepage.io/tfcemails
Build a gunge tank? I don't think I've seen one in any of your videos but the wife would look good sitting underneath a large, full, translucent tub of ooze, just waiting for you to pull the string.
Aside from opening a physical store in the northeast(Boston would be great ), I would love more variety with substances. Maybe Nutella or peanut butter . Or more savory.
From me to you, as not only your friend? but as a fellow producer....
We opened a merch site when my store was a "sister store" called jayce and jillys house of mess, which my sister (in real life) did scenes with me and my friends...and we did separate scenes to contribute to the store. the merch site literally sold maybe one thing in the years it was opened and we had some cute stuff. Selling slime could be useful but with the economy as it is (and take it from me) most people will go to making their own slimes before purchasing slimes. I know I cant afford purchasing slimes unless someone helps me out.
as far as opening a physical place with sessions? I think that is something a lot of people would journey to as? people look for a place of solace to have their wam fun! I have had ppl travel from as far as pennsylvania and drive from texas to do sessions! alas, making sure that things stay on the up and up, that people continue to come and that the sessions arent too far in between.... making sure you can pay that monthly rate on the place, etc. as? I, too, when I worked with ariel.....thought about us renting just an apartment to do nothing but shoots. This kept things out of our homes where we didnt feel like we had to scrub tubs for 4 hours after shooting and didnt have to tiptoe around friends and family. I would say? Go ahead and offer sessions in your area and see how many people are willing to come through before making a huge decision like that. The uk has a great following in the wam area but around here? We have a lot less.
but? I am not bursting your bubble! I think the idea is fucking wonderful! Hell, i would be there! I just dont want you to get into a position where you feel like you arent making what you are putting into it. hell, i shoot from home and after all is said and done? im barely making it by. but? you guys do a LOT of different fetish stuff...and have had a lot of amazing scenes and you both work together to create something that has so many different genres of fetish!
I would save save save until you could literally be able to sustain the place for a year out of pocket... they say you dont profit from any open doors business for about 3 years. so? anyway, i think its an amazing idea! I just dont want to see you all get in over your heads bc i LOOOVE your stuff so much! I think your ideas and dreams are so big and so amazing! I truly hope you can do any of these things or all of them and flourish! I will most certainly be a customer!
Just to piggyback off what Jayce said, and totally not trying to burst your bubble either, but just want to offer advice. While 110 votes is awesome for sessions, it's not a big number as far as getting consistent appointments. If you're renting a separate space for them, it might be months in between when people are able to afford or schedule trips there. If you have a lot of local wammers, that would be great and you may get plenty of regulars.
But honestly, I've had every fucking person flake out on me that has set up appointments with me this past year. A lot of people here have proven to be unreliable, and incredibly inconsiderate to my schedule. Some people only have one opportunity to schedule with you and it's hard to know who will follow through and who won't.
HOWEVER, with those things aside, these are our experiences, but yours could be very different. Darla Devours and Messy Girl seem to have a lot of luck with booking sessions, so it's obviously different for everyone. Definitely if you feel that you could have success with this, then give it a try and see how it goes!
Late to this but the US really needs more gunge suppliers. I new Splatter Emporium just opened (and they're great) but would love to see a few competitors enter the space and have new products show up and stuff. Just wild that the UK can get it so easily and it has taken years for anything to show up on this side of the pond.
I give you my story of what I do when go see Darla I live in the UK. I normally find a hotel that did last year for a long weekend but this year I rent a house for most week and other people help pay for it. did group season 3rd one as well..
