Why it can work
- Strong public demand signals
- Seasonal demand: Christmas, after new tool gifts
Why it might fail
- Dyson is a trademark with active counterfeit enforcement, so use compatible-with wording and no logos; no case against printed holders was found
Be aware before you sell
Some holder files bar selling prints, so check each or design your own. Dyson is a trademark with active counterfeit enforcement, so use compatible-with wording and no logos; no case against printed holders was found. Etsy asks for your own original design, so a licensed file may not qualify.
