Question: We are limited financially (a budget of £4k) - would a crowd funding scheme work?


Without wanting to sound harsh, I don't think many people would crowdfund someone setting up an online pound shop.

If we offered rewards?

I am aware of the ins and outs of crowdfunding, and people have a spare tenner whack it in and get something out of it.

When trading on ebay, we have come up with possibly bundeling up cheap items into boxes and sellig them

So 10 x £1 cleaning items go into a box

10 x £1 art things
etc
etc

Just a thought , why restrict yourself to a £1 ?

I am sure you would still sell well if everything was less than a fiver,

There will be a little more chance of making a profit .

hmmm good plan, we had considered this; we have recently devised a plan for ebay sales - a ' hamper'  of low cost items, to make selling them more economical. e.g all cleaning things (lets say 10 of them) in a hamper for £10 plus delivery

well I paid something like £25 to lootcrate for a really shitty box of excrement....so you could try something along those lines.....creating value where none exists

https://www.lootcrate.com/

As this is a football forum maybe look at the demand for a football centred crate with lesser known teams' scarfs etc. A quick google suggests it is already being done but I can't see a specific football one.

That is a great idea. Have unfashionable team scarfs, keyrings, posters and flags and bits like that; possibly have a smaller factfile on lesser known footballers...

I'd make it a team of the month box. Have playing card sized factfiles of the players and maybe a laminated team photo with extra info on the back or a large magnet https://www.stickermule.com/uk/products/custom-magnets, throw in a scarf or similar and a programme (you should be able to negotiate a good deal for a large order from a smaller club), and make the box open up into a picture of their ground taken from the away end. You could expand it to include lower league clubs around Europe.....you could then possibly ship to Europe too.

I've no idea how many people would subscribe or how many you'd need to make a go of it.

It is a very good idea: perhaps  have people nominate players for team of the month to boost online presence and rely on word of mouth
