From November to the end of December, people look for gifts that mean something. A creation bought directly from the artist is one of them. Get ready now, not in December.

Time: one hour now, then a few posts until December.

1. Pick your gift selection

Three to five creations that make good gifts, at different prices: an accessible piece, a middle one, a rare one. Make sure they're online, with good images and a few lines each.

2. Set your last order date

If you ship, choose a last order date for delivery before the holidays, based on your carrier's delays. Write it on your physical creations and in your posts.

3. Make something for the season

A small end-of-year edition, a signed version, a bundle: one thing made for this moment gives people a reason to buy now.

4. Announce it in three steps

Mid-November: show your selection. Early December: remind people of your last order date. The last days: point to your digital creations, which need no shipping.

5. Close the year with a thank you

Publish a News post that thanks everyone who supported you this year. They're the ones who will be there for what comes next.

Your gift season is ready

Gift Season Playbook

Oct 5, 2026

A record, a print, a T-shirt: a physical piece is something people keep. On HYK you sell it directly, set your own shipping and follow every order.

Time: one hour to set up, then 10 minutes per order.

1. Set your shipping first

Before you publish, create your shipping method: the countries you deliver to, your rate, and a price for each extra item. The buyer pays shipping on top of your price.

2. Show the real object

Photos of the actual piece, in hand, from several angles. Give the format, the material, the size and the edition. People buy a physical piece with their eyes.

3. Say how many

Set your stock so you never sell more than you have. If it's a limited run, say it: 50 numbered copies, 10 signed prints. The Pricing Playbook explains why it matters.

4. Ship fast, add the tracking

Pack with care, ship within a few days, and add the carrier and tracking number to the order. The buyer knows where the package is, and you avoid most questions.

5. Make the unboxing count

A handwritten word, a sticker, a small print: a detail in the package is what people photograph and share. Ask them to tag you.

Your drop is ready

Physical Drops Playbook

Sep 21, 2026

Your community follows you everywhere. Give them a reason to come to HYK: something they only find here, or find here first. That's how Nikkfurie released Ghost Company 2, as an HYK exclusive.

Time: 30 minutes to plan your next release.

1. Choose what to keep for HYK

An unreleased track, a demo, an alternate version, an original piece, the sketches behind a series. It doesn't have to be your biggest project: what matters is that it's only here.

2. First or only

Two options. First on HYK: your subscribers get it before everyone else, for a few days or weeks, then it goes out elsewhere. Only on HYK: it stays here. Decide, then say which one it is.

3. Say it everywhere

In the description of the creation, in your bio and in your posts: “Only on HYK” or “On HYK first, one week before everywhere else”. An exclusive nobody knows about brings nobody.

4. Tell your subscribers first

Announce the exclusive with a News post before you talk about it anywhere else. The people already with you should be the first to know.

5. Price it right

Exclusive doesn't mean expensive. Keep an accessible entry point and, if the piece is rare, say how many copies exist. You set the price and keep 100% of it.

Your exclusive is ready

first or only: decided and said
