About
The Genshin Christmas Catalog is a free fan made PDF made up entirely of ads designed by creators of Genshin fan made merch, to showcase their products. Hoyoverse’s extremely generous policy on fan made merch has given artists, writers, and other creators many unique opportunities. Because of this, countless amazing products, pieces of art, and publications have sprung up, but because they’re spread across many different venues, customers sometimes have difficulty finding these treasures. The Genshin Christmas Catalog’s goal is to help buyers lay eyes on products they’re interested in, that they might not have ever seen otherwise, and help Genshin creators be seen by more potential customers.

Mission Statement
To create a free catalog-style zine, that helps promote Genshin Impact merch makers, and helps customers find exactly what they’re looking for this holiday season.What this is
The Genshin Christmas Catalog is going to be a free PDF, made up entirely of ads designed by creators of Genshin Impact fan made merch, to showcase their products. Hoyoverse’s extremely generous policy on fan made merch has given artists, writers, and other creators many unique opportunities. Because of this, countless amazing products, pieces of art, and publications have sprung up, but because they’re spread across many different venues, customers sometimes have difficulty finding these treasures. The Genshin Christmas Catalog’s goal is to help buyers lay eyes on products they’re interested in, that they might not have ever seen otherwise, and help Genshin creators be seen by more potential customers.How it works
We plan to be open for ad submissions between August and mid-October. Contributors will design ads for their stores and/or products in PDF form and email them to us before the cutoff date. After we close for submissions, all ads will be sorted into appropriate categories, to make it easier for anyone browsing to find merchandise they’re interested in. Then all ads will be combined into one big PDF, that will be uploaded to the web in early November. Potential customers will be able to download this catalog and the ability to view a wide variety of merchandise will, hopefully, help them find more things that they love, and aid them in their Christmas shopping. We’ll be promoting this catalog through several popular Genshin Impact merch promoting Twitters, channels that promote zines, and word of mouth, for maximum visibility, and to drive more traffic towards the stores of all contributors.How it’s organized
The catalog will be split into two sections – the first, will be divided into categories that advertise merchandise by type (Apparel, Accessories, Stationery and Stickers, etc . . .). The second half of the catalog will organize merchandise by character.
