Transcripts
if you're looking to start a
print-on-demand business with pernify I
do want to give you many tips prior to
ever starting or if you already have a
print on demand printify business open
this video is going to be super
information packed on things that I
personally wish I knew prior to ever
starting a print on demand business with
printify I want to say first of all
welcome to my channel if you are new
here my name is Heather I have done 450k
in Revenue in my time with Etsy and
print on demand I have quit my nine to
five and now do this full time with that
being said the main company I've used
since the beginning of my printed me in
business has been printified I have
learned so much through the time working
with printify as a company that I wanted
to share 10 different things that I wish
I knew prior to starting with printify
that actually saved me quite a bit of
money and time and made me more
efficient in my print on demand Business
Without further Ado we're going to hop
straight into this video
thank you
so the first thing to know is using the
best seller area on printify now if you
go to the drop down of categories you
can look at best sellers so what
printify does is they have a area that
shows all the best-selling products on
their website so this is across all
platforms we're talking Shopify that's
the eBay and any other platform that
integrates with printify that list is
showing you exactly what is selling and
what's high in demand right now as far
as product types go so if you ever need
ideas or inspiration or to know what to
even sell in your first print on demand
business this is a really great place to
start because you can see oh this
product really sells well and this list
does get updated so maybe next month
there might be new items on it so if
you're ever looking to pull inspiration
for what to design for and different
products to create for or that's one of
my favorite places to go because
printify has that data and you can find
it all there on what's really selling
for other sellers which is a great
indication to you what you can go into
as well so the second thing to know is
that you can design on printify and you
actually do not need any other design
software if that is not within your
budget I will say there is a lot of
other programs that have free trials or
free memberships that you can use such
as canva let's say you want to use
certain graphics on canva you can do so
and one of my other softwares that I
would recommend is creative Fabrica you
can pay further all access trial I do
have a link in the description for that
with a discount so if you would like to
try that out I suggest that as well for
maybe finding Graphics to use with the
text that you can add in on printify
printify actually has 300 different
fonts that you can select from now so
that is a huge plus of again just using
printify and a benefit that you can just
design and do everything in printify and
printify is free really if you wanted to
start an Etsy business you could just do
printify and also Etsy you just have to
pay 20 cents per listing for Etsy but
also you could start a printify pop-up
store and you don't have to pay Etsy
listing fees if you have social media
and maybe friends or family that you
want to sell to on printify pop-up that
is an option as well so the third thing
is you can create product templates and
buy product templates this is where you
create one product you set the pricing
you can duplicate this and put in your
design so it makes the process of
creating a lot of different products at
once very quick so that's something that
I personally do is I copy about five
times every product that I create
especially if I'm creating different
designs for one product and it's really
easy to do and I highly recommend using
the duplicate or copy feature on
printify under the my products area this
is going to speed up your workflow so
much quicker than just creating every
product individually and again this is
something that I wish I knew sooner so
the fourth thing to know is you can
scale your designs to multiple product
types really quickly by replacing the
product in the my product section so in
the video that you'll see on the screen
I am going to duplicate that product and
I'm going to just replace the product
and that's going to take the design on
one product and I can switch it to any
other product that I would like and it's
a really neat feature that again I just
wish I knew sooner in my print on demand
business because then I would have been
able to scale my business quite quicker
knowing that I can take a design that
goes on a t-shirt onto a mug and then
onto a tote bag and I didn't have to
individually create each product I could
just duplicate replace product duplicate
replace product so the fifth thing that
I wish I knew was that printify premium
actually saved me so much money and by
Saving I would say actually profit
because I made so much more profit by me
using printify premium it knocked off a
dollar off of every order and once I hit
the order volumes of over 25 to 30
individual products being sold I was
making back the money that it cost for
printify premium which is around 25 to
30 dollars I haven't recently looked at
it but I think you saved more by paying
annually and I pay annually so it was
literally so much money I was saving
once I got to the threshold of 100
orders and then I hit 300 orders a month
and then 500 orders a month and I got
back in profit thousands of dollars over
the course of a year so I highly
recommend doing printify premium because
you're going to keep so much more more
profit by switching to printify premium
once you hit that threshold that it
makes sense for your business so the
sixth thing to know is that printify
supports their sellers way more than I
think is talked about that I've seen
throughout just the Etsy and print on
demand community and just print on
demand community in general and I've
heard other people on other channels
talking about it but this is something
that maybe a lot of new sellers assume
that printify won't support you and help
you as a seller but it's actually the
complete opposite they want to support
their Sellers and business owners who
are partnering with them and one way
that they do that if you have defective
items or you have a missing package sent
to your customer printify will replace
that and not charge you unless it's
outside of their policy of course I do
want to say I would read print advice
policy usually it's a 30-day policy so
let's say your customer reports a item
missing 45 days or 90 days is after I
actually had that happen I had a
customer who reported their package
missing 90 days later I just want to say
it was really a tough scenario because I
had to tell the customer no and that was
like the first time I had to say no and
they were not happy about it also to say
a lot of postal carriers they do have
some sort of insurance and usually most
of those postal carriers you have to
contact within 30 to 60 day window or
else printify or any print-on-demand
provider cannot file a claim so with
that being said if you have a lost
package if an item is defective let's
say a sleeve has a hole in it that your
customer is claiming that there's a hole
or maybe there's a stain on the product
maybe the print was incorrect printify
takes care of you all you have to do is
submit a order issue underneath the
order within usually it's a few weeks to
30 days printify will reach back out to
you and in most cases they will replace
or refund you so that you can refund the
customer and they don't only just refund
you the amount of the product they
refund the shipping they also refund the
taxes if you were charged for taxes so I
can't say enough that printify actually
really cares about you and your business
and they will take care of you so the
seventh thing to know is that with
printify you can transfer and copy all
of the products that you created on the
my product section to a completely
different platform with a few clicks of
a button so when you create that new
shop on printify's back end and you
integrate it to let's say Shopify and
you select all of your products on Etsy
you can copy to and select that new shop
after a few minutes all of those
listings will be sent over to that new
shop and a lot of the times all you have
to do is publish those listings so again
you'll select all and publish if you
want to do it all together in bulk or
you can add it feature pictures of those
listings prior to publishing to Shopify
so the next thing to know about printify
is that they have a feature called order
routing so there are hundreds of print
providers on printify and one of the
huge benefits of working with them is if
let's say a Gildan 5000 t-shirt that you
sold in size small goes out of stock
with one print provider that you
selected so let's say for example maybe
Monster Digital Monster Digital is
pretty reliable with their stock though
so I will say I haven't seen that happen
but let's say that did happen and Swift
pod had that Gildan 5000 in color white
and size small in their inventory then
you can route that order to swiftpod and
they will print pack and ship that item
and send it to that customer so this is
one huge Pro of printify and one of the
reasons why I really love this company
because it has been able to save my butt
to be quite Frank I I would say hundreds
of times at this point I will say
printify is still a Top Choice for me
for that reason of the order routing so
the ninth thing to know with printify is
that you can apply for a resale
certificate now I want to say that I am
not a tax professional so I cannot
answer many questions as far as resale
certificates go now there is what
printify has on it which is a resale tax
certificate and this will make you
exempt from getting charged from
printify for that tax however I do want
to say that this is based primarily per
country that you live in in per state so
you will want to talk to some type of
tax expert or professional if you have
any further questions if you go to apply
on printify's website they do provide
more information on how to get what you
need in order to apply for this resale
certificate so the temp thing to know
with printify is that printify has now
custom branding options available for
your print on demand business so they
have custom inserts that can be inserted
into packages with that being said you
can use canva templates to create your
own type of thank you message that you
can send to each and every customer and
what I recommend for these branding
inserts is to offer a coupon for people
to come back and then also if you are on
social media make sure to say follow on
social media for maybe more promotions
and discounts and just little custom
inserts like this can go a long way and
also give your business some more repeat
purchases as time goes on I will say
this is only for certain print-on-demand
providers so Monster Digital is one of
them and Diamond tea is another one of
them and you can also brand the inside
labels of t-shirts and other parts of
products now with these two print on
demand providers I know that a lot of
other print-on-demand providers will
open up to doing this type of custom
branding as time goes on so thought I
would share that at the very end of this
video with that being said guys that's
it for this video don't forget to hit
that like button subscribe and comment
what videos you'd like to see next on
this channel thank you so much for
watching and don't forget to stick
around for that blooper reel because
one is coming it will be here shortly
see you guys
so the second thing that I wish I knew
sooner I'm gonna repeat that actually
design on their
I can't speak today
I can't speak today
ever I can't speak ever
the struggle is real the struggle is
real I'm gonna pause this
