If someone wanted to spend a little money to make a little money, they could go ahead and buy the stickers with their own money and re-sell them at a dollar a piece. $150 for 1000 stickers. 1000 stickers sold at $1 a piece = $1000

$1000 - 150 = $850

Thats a decent chunk of change assuming someone could sell all 1000 of them for a dollar each. Even if you sold them for 50 cents a piece you would still make $350.

However, splitting the cost among a group of perhaps 10 people, each contributing $15, would be less risky. If profit is not an issue then all the stickers could be given away for free. If profit is an issue, the stickers should be sold to local residents (possibility of Nubblies discount such as buying at-cost, in this case cost being $0.15 a piece). The free stickers should be given to people who are outside of the Warsaw area such as those in college.

OR

The 10 people in the group I mentioned before, could each sell 15 stickers for a dollar a piece or 30 for 50 cents a piece, thereby recouping their initial investment of $15. Then, after the initial investment is taken care of, the stickers could be given out for free.

OR

Do it the slow way (donations) and collect the money from people until $150 is reached and then go from there.

The point is no matter how this is done, it will take some organization. Arrangements need to be made on what design will be chosen, who will order the stickers, and how many everyone will get. Resale of the stickers may or may not be an issue depending upon what everyone wants.

For this idea to get off the ground some decisions need to be made.
