SVG Files

I have sometimes bought SVG files from SVG Cuts, as well as from My Scrap Chick.

I never paid more than $1/cutting file from My Scrap Chick. She has sales, and I take advantage of those. I usually buy 3D sets from SVG cuts. Theirs are often more detailed and elaborate 3D designs, so I am willing to pay a bit more for more involved designs. I don’t remember if I have ever gotten anything discounted at SVG Cuts. Their sets are reasonably priced IMO.

Most of the ones I bought from both My Scrap Chick and SVG Cuts have been box cards, but I have gotten a few 3D paper house designs from SVG Cuts.

I don’t have time to look them up right now, but you could look at SVG Cuts to get an idea of their prices.

I'd be interested in a price for a 12x12 cut paper product, rather than digital files. I don't own a machine. But I don't know if that's anything you're interested in pursuing.

Shipping is going to cost more than the product, so maybe bundle pricing would be helpful here.

That's exciting!

1. I typically spend $1-3 on a cut file. I'll spend more if it's what I'm looking for and I need for a specific project like when I was looking for a fairy cut file for a friend's kid's birthday invitations. That was pretty random though. 

2. I like SVG. 

3. I usually buy designs, I like hearts and circles looking at my collection. I think titles could be fun, especially if they are snarky and/or unusual but that probably won't sell as well as things that are more universal. 

Not wanting to rain on your parade AT ALL, but a couple things to keep in mind. (1) The files need to work across a broad spectrum of machines or else you need to mark the files for what machines the file will work in. For example, the dpi of a file makes a difference - Silhouette and Cricut will open the files at different sizes. Might not matter for some items, but will if pieces need to fit together (3d items) or need to fit within other files offered. (2) Score lines and pattern fills are managed differently between Brother, Silhouette, and Cricut. You want to make sure that you design files that avoid these issues. (3). Decide how much support you are willing to give. People buy files without having any idea how to run their machines, unzip files, etc. I have been contacted because the file isn't downloading - the problem is that the uyser doesn't even understand their download file on their computer and so didn't know where to find it. (4) Cricut is notorious for changing up their design space software - a file that worked one way before, now will not open properly or aft properly. because of a design space "upgrade". Have a policy about that and state what version it is "guaranteed" to work in. (5) Think about who your audience is and design accordingly. By this I mean - I would make the majority of my files fairly unfussy and complicated. Cutting intricate/multi-layered designs requires experience with the machine and knowledge of settings and techniques to get consistently great results. Not all your consumers will have these skills. You might want to mark the "hard" files accordingly.  (6). Please, please, please ensure that your designs are original and from scratch.  Do not trace someone else's work, trace copyright material, or grab stuff off Pinterest and copy it.  Be your own brand and do your own thing.

Crazy for a $1 purchase, but I share it because I have seen all of this and also seen consumers trash a website/etsy store for all the reasons above. Some Etsy shops provide great files that are well thought out, others not so much. You want to be in the first group.

I buy SVG files other than Silhouette Design store - altho with a subscription that is where I most commonly purchase files. I like bold, modern cards -- especially box cards or bendy cards. I do not purchase anything to just "sit around".
I buy from Marji Roy -- she usually has a nice funky Christmas project and she has been following up a lot with her "zig zag" projects; Mary whatszit at SVG Cuts - I like her graphic sensibility altho' she has been less productive since her remarriage and pregnancy and now new baby; I have a lot of Dreaming Tree -- pre-divorce styles since post divorce styles have been too "baroque" for me, also fewer cards.
I won't pay much more than $2.00 for a new file -- and that has to be one that I've over the moon about or can use more than once (yes, I know that a store bought card would cost much more than that - not even considering my time and materials).
I think someone might be ahead to create "elements" and show how they can adapt to several projects.
