Hi everyone,

This may an unconventional post to this forum, but I am a third year pharmacy student that is thinking about expanding more on her artistic side by opening an Etsy shop to sell pharmacy-themed coasters as unique gifts to pharmacist, nurses, and doctors. I had recently tried it as a class fundraiser and it was a huge hit out our pharmacy university. Do you think this has a chance with proper marketing, and if so, would there be any interest among this forum? I have any information you may need if your inquiries are serious.

Here's a sample of the work from the fundraiser:

Thanks for any feedback!

How much does it cost to make? How much do you sell them for?

 

[artsypharm]

Cost is relatively inexpensive to make, just depends on the order size. I sell them for 1 for $8, 2 for 10, 4 for $20, and each additional for $5.

You're not the first! I saw this a number of years ago and thought it was really cool. Also made by a pharmacy student: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CleanerScience/sold

I also think your idea is cool, but you'll be able to sell more to a broader market if you make them fun/expand beyond medicine. Maybe even make some with dirty words.

Sounds great! Thanks for the feedback 🙂 I LOVE the petri dish soaps btw...that's incredible

Lol, can't you say this about most pharmacy related merchandise?
