What products in this video(or not shown) do you want to see in a sample review video? Comment your vote for products & colors below! I plan to start a new series ordering multiple colors/sizes of each product and trialing multiple POD providers and would love your input! Thanks for watching everyone!❤
My go-to t-shirt is the Gildan 64000. It’s really soft and has a more roomy fit. The 5000s get a lot of bad press for quality (which I think you agree with, from your bulk-buy comment). I was selling B&C 3001s, but they have a more slim cut and are not as soft/substantial as the 64000s. I also think that the 3001s have a less flattering cut for women. Agreed that Comfort Colors needs to be a part of one’s offerings, and the colors are awesome.
Just an FYI, as a Canadian myself....most of the time shipping from the US to Canada is cheaper than actually shipping within Canada. Any orders from Canada I've received, it was more expensive to switch to a Canadian Print Provider so I ended up sticking with my US provider and shipping from there. Our shipping rates within our country here are astronomical.
Chambray….. thank you so much Heather for always being so kind in sharing insights with us. I am really inspired to keep going despite the Challenges. I opened my store infinitiluxury few month ago and I must say being in Europe and targeting US market can be filled with excitement and at same time doubts to oneself if it’s really going to work out. Who else is based in Europe?
Chambray... I'm super interested in adding tapestries, seasonal pillows and the wine glasses to my shop. I'd love to see a video covering more about pricing - the pricing tips you gave in this video were SUPER helpful to me! Thanks for great info in this video!
I’m BRAND NEW and wanting to add to my digital print shop. I chose digital prints to get used to posting and now want to pivot. Thank you for these suggestions, it’s most helpful to us “newbies”!
I just started on printify and wanted to say I find your videos very useful. I’m glad to say I picked every product that you suggested before watching the video which makes me feel like I’m on the right path. Thank you so much.
Chambray... started following you yesterday and I love the tips your are giving everyone. I have had an etsy store for years now, and recently starting POD. Graphic Designer might as well.. Thanks Heather!
Heather, yes I did make it to the end of this video. I just found your videos yesterday through EverBee, and plan to have them all watched by tonight. My question is about breakage. I had a shop on Etsy several years back selling handmade pottery. I was enjoying it until one $89 bowl got broken in shipping. My customer even took a video of opening it to show that it was completely crushed. I immediately gave her a refund. Then started the process of trying to get the post office or Etsy to refund my money. First of all the post office never refunds the cost of their service, only the cost of goods, and then they said they sent it to my customer after about 2 months of debate. Needless to say the customer never received a cent from them. After the trouble of trying to get a refund from the post office (many phone calls to their 800 numbers plus trips back and forth to my local office) I finally gave up, accepted the approx. $100 loss, and closed my shop. In this case if an item is broken, who is responsible for the refund to the customer, and dealing with the post office? Would it be the shipper (Printify) or would it be on me? Do you know how it all works? If the customer pays shipping separately from the cost of the product then how does it all work with Etsy? Have you made any videos on refunds? Thanks for your time. I hope I have made myself clear. Eva
Chambray. No problem here. You are awesome. Thanks for your insightful videos. This video boosted my morale after bad dad passed away a few months ago. Makes me want to get back to business and start living life again. Need a video on step by step how to create and list personalization products.
Chambray… I’ve been putting off starting a shop for so long, I know I’ll never feel ready so I’m going to take a deep breath and start today! Wish me luck!
CHAMBRAY... I love your content. I am learning so much from you. I have not launched yet. I have been doing graphic design since 1990 but as a hobby. I just recently had to close my cabinet business due to landlord and overall skyrocketing expenses. I have followed you for a year now. Time to pull the trigger. You have got me excited on my new venture, plus I have to succeed at this no choice in the matter. This is it. So thank you for the amazing info!
Chambray....I love your content. It is well presented and very informative and a great help to me as I go thru the process of opening my store. I will continue to follow. Thank you for your content.
Chambray!!! Thank you Heather for always giving really great information, I've had my store since 2022 but haven't gone live just yet! I'm hoping soon! I'm just nervous of getting shutdown like most new sellers do!
Chambray... Love this presentation. I was wondering how to get to the Comfort Colors and justify the higher price. Just started back after an almost 2 year layoff (my wife had gotten sick and passed last September). Thanks Again Ed Ellis
Chambray… Thank you for this video. It has a lot of great info. I’m overwhelmed with all that Printify offers, but I think I’d like to try designing for something that the design covers the whole item. I think that would be fun.
Might try candles. My problem is just getting started. I have been getting ready for the past 2 years and have not really gotten started. Can you do a tutorial on stop being scared and get started already!!!? Thanks!!! Love your videos!!!
chambray.... great video. full of ideas. your the best! would like to see your ideas or thoughts on using what is popular in media as niche to apply in these types of products without the "copywrite" issues. i feel like im giving you a loaded question here but maybe a video on graphic designs for these types of products based on popular social media typos.
Chambray! Thanks Heather - would you be able to make a video talking about loss leaders for POD clothing shops! I keep hearing it but don’t know how that applies to us.
I took all my printify options down because I wasn't aware i had to pay them to make the product first before it ships out to customers. I'd say this model doesn't work if you are starting off with 0 dollars. Maybe I'll try and make some cheaper items on printify instead of shirts.
Chambray… thank you for such amazing content!! I just don’t understand why printify doesn’t do true color for Comfort Color. I passed on this based on the printify preview but now searching on Etsy as you suggested it’s gorgeous!!! So I guess on this I’m basically forced to buy mock-ups, right?
Chambray...I sell the comfort color t-shirts but not the sweatshirts yet though (but may do so in the future). I also sell mugs but I don't use district photo anymore since they messed up 2 of my customers' mugs (misprint). I hope they have improved in their quality and check before sending out bad prints. I switched to spoke custom products and even though they are higher in price, their prints are better. I might consider selling the glass sipper tumbler but it's hard to compete on price with other etsy sellers though.
Thanks so much for this Heather. I was wondering why you don't include Etsy ads or sales in your profit calendar. The problem I'm having is that I don't have Printify Premium because I'm not selling enough yet so I'm paying more. When I'm figuring out pricing in the calculator I add in a 20% sale that I always run and 13% for Etsy Ads, so my prices sometimes are really high. Do you have any suggestions on how to be competitive? Thanks again!
Hi Heather thank you for these wonderful suggestions. From the product suggestions can I have 3- 4 of these products in my shop or choose only one. Thank you❤
I already have some of those but tapestries, pillows and blankets sound interesting. Just started a month ago and only have had 2 sales so far. Hoping it gets better.

Where can we get cool mockups besides etsy? Like swimwear...

True that and I do the same
Hallo,
I wanted to say you’re a natural in front of the camera. Your insight has been greatly appreciated.
Thank you for sharing your experience.

Love the way you said "pillow". We called it a "kussing" in afrikaans.

You don't need to worry about it in Print on demand as these very rare.
When you are selling items are you having a design printed on the mug/glass/shirt? I was looking to use my art on products. Thank you. Chambray
I love the calmness of this video...thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

What would the process be if you offer a personalized option. Do we create the personalized design or does POD take care of that?
chambray.... great video. full of ideas. your the best!
would like to see your ideas or thoughts on using what is popular in media as niche to apply in these types of products without the "copywrite" issues. i feel like im giving you a loaded question here but maybe a video on graphic designs for these types of products based on popular social media typos.
Chambray! Thanks Heather - would you be able to make a video talking about loss leaders for POD clothing shops! I keep hearing it but don’t know how that applies to us.

Chambray =) Thank you for your videos - I'm a new student to POD Academy
Thanks for watching and welcome to the course!❤
Chambray…. Just discovered you and can’t wait to watch all your videos!!
Chambray… thank you for such amazing content!! I just don’t understand why printify doesn’t do true color for Comfort Color. I passed on this based on the printify preview but now searching on Etsy as you suggested it’s gorgeous!!! So I guess on this I’m basically forced to buy mock-ups, right?
Chambray! Thank you so much for your valuable content. ❤
Chambray...I sell the comfort color t-shirts but not the sweatshirts yet though (but may do so in the future). I also sell mugs but I don't use district photo anymore since they messed up 2 of my customers' mugs (misprint). I hope they have improved in their quality and check before sending out bad prints.
