Why it can work
- Few sellers compared with other products
- Estimated $5.59 profit per print hour
- Seasonal demand: Spring to autumn, plus tournament dates
Why it might fail
- Disc maker logos are trademarked, so club logos need permission
- Thin public evidence, so treat these numbers with care
Be aware before you sell
Design your own, since a mini is simple to model. Disc maker logos are trademarked, so club logos need permission. Etsy asks for your own original design, so a licensed file may not qualify.
