POLL: Pet Stickers!

What theming system should we use for pet sticker batches?

Environment Theme - Grouped based on location and habitat (ie. swamp pets, fields pets, etc)

Colour Group - Grouped based on colours (ie. pink pets, green pets, etc)

Creature Type - Grouped based on pet species (ie. cats, frogs, etc)

Hi everyone! In this poll, we'll be looking at the type of bundling everyone would prefer for pet stickers specifically. We have a lot of pets with many favourites across the board so we're hoping this helps us narrow down how to tackle getting sticker merch printed.

We'll also be doing a subsequent poll to decide on which batch of stickers to do first, after we figure out the best bundling style. More polls are upcoming for other types of merch as well!

Check out our first merchandise related poll here.

Here are a few Q&A's about stickers and our merch plans surrounding them!

Will we get stickers that aren't pets but also items/NPC's too?
Yes! Our initial focus for polling is pet stickers simply because the bundling is so difficult to decide on due to how many pets we have. We'll be hosting more polls for other sticker types as needed.

What kind of stickers will they be? What's the pricing/ordering going to be like?
We're still looking at various options, but for pets we would like to print them as singular die cut style stickers. It's too early for any pricing announcements but the ordering will likely be preorders that are batch based.
