TheCoffeeMonsterzCo Starter Guide
Posted by Helen Wang on
Welcome to TheCoffeeMonsterzCo! This blog post will give you the ultimate introduction to our little world. Whether you are looking to just to spruce up your planner with some adorable stickers, or join in on our fun events, our family welcomes you. There is a lot to cover, so let's get started!
1. About Us
Our small stationery business is based in British Columbia, Canada. TheCoffeeMonsterzCo (TCMC) was established on March 6, 2016 by me (Helen!) when I was in Grade 10 of highschool. We started with a few wonky emoti sheets, doodles, and kits. Nowadays, our business is powered by a team of people as there is no way I can fit everything I have to do into 24 hours! Here is our current team, and you can read more on the about us page.

2. What We Sell
Our shop is primarily a sticker shop. Our emoti & doodle stickers are perfect for all planners out there, and we also make planner kits for specific planners. Over the years as we have grown, we started selling more fun stationery items and accessories! These are what I typically call specialty items as they are seasonal. For example, washi tapes, pencil pouches, charms, sticky notes, etc. As a small business, we are very limited in the amount of inventory we can keep on hand. For this reason we are actively looking for a larger warehouse space so we can hopefully start stocking our specialty items regularly!
3. Types of New Releases
Our stickers are readily available all year, but our specialty products are not. So, how does one purchase our specialty items? Let's go over our different methods of selling items:
| Regular new release |
|
| Preorder |
|
| Preorder hybrid |
|
| Overstocks |
|
The best way for customers to get the specialty items is to participate in the preorders and preorder hybrids. We rarely release specialty items in the form of a new release nowadays to ensure customers are able to purchase freely. Overstocks would be what we consider the last resort for customers to get our special items as leftover items are limited to, well, what is left over!
4. Annual Sale Events
We don't have a set calendar for our shop as things change every year. The best way to stay tuned with new release announcements would be through our Facebook group community and on our Instagram account. We also send out newsletters but only for our big events, and not for regular new releases. There are several sales that happen annually without fail:
| Shop Anniversary |
|
| Helen's Birthday |
|
| Black Friday Weekend |
|

Comments
Why are washi tapes always sold out? I never had the chance to get one or sit by a computer, waiting for a release. Adults have life responsibility being a care giver and taking care of family members. Having washi tapes bring me small joy to my difficult life (including stickers).
I wonder the same, not only for washi tapes but other specific products, even willing to pay for international freight, customs and everything I could never find those products available…I hope that now with a new office you can increase the items in stock 🙏☺️
I agree with the comment above regarding washi tape, vellum, etc. It would be nice if there was more stock or limit per order so that people couldn’t buy them to resell and lovers of your products could have an opportunity buy direct from you to support you vs. a reseller! :)
Hi, I have a cuestion. Why the Washi tape are always ’ Sold out?
I never has the chance to buy any washi tape. How do I now when they are available, I check the principal page
