Printing on demand is one of the best fields that customers prefer when buying online, because they feel that they are buying something unique and not many people have it.
When the buyer enters an online store that relies on printing on demand, such as the one in the picture above, the following happens:
- The customer chooses the design he wants.
- The customer pays.
- The site prints the T-shirt for the customer.
- The T-shirt is shipped to the customer.
And that's not all, many sites allow the customer to upload the designs he wants and then print them for him according to the previous steps.
Simply print on demand depends on publishing designs on your account or online store in T-shirts or stickers, etc., and no design will be printed unless there is a request for that product.
This field is considered one of the wonderful fields, as it does not require capital to start or any experience whatsoever, and this field is also included in the ideas of passive income.
There are two ways for ideas that you should work on in this field in general, which are:
Evergreen: or ideas that are always green, frankly the literal translation is not good, so I will try to explain, as we are talking here about ideas that bring visitors and customers permanently, and we do not resort to any methods to bring customers seasonally or for a limited period, and frankly I prefer this method because it will bring you profits continuously despite stopping publishing designs.
Trending: Or popular ideas, this method is the opposite of the first method, as here we must work on finding popular ideas in the current period, such as New Year’s or Halloween, and this method is considered good as it brings you profits faster compared to the first method, but it has very big competition.
Profiting from print on demand is one of the best ways to profit from the Internet, especially if you are interested in the field of e-commerce in general, and this is for several reasons, the most important of which are:
You do not need capital because you can start for free or with a very small amount
The risk is almost non-existent in this field because the printing process does not take place until the customer pays
The profit margin in this field is higher than others in general
You can upsell your customers very easily and increase the number of orders for each customer, which doubles your profits.
Print on demand is not just for t-shirts
One of the biggest misconceptions among many is that print on demand is only for t-shirts, and this is completely wrong, as there are many products that fall into this field such as:
T-shirts of various types (hoodies - regular t-shirts - sleeveless t-shirts) and others
Mugs
Hats
Pillows
Shopping bags
Small rugs
Blankets
Socks
Wallets
Mobile phone covers
Frames
Wall-mounted posters
Posters that are pasted
Water bottles
And many others, imagine that you have an online store for print on demand, and you promote one of your wonderful t-shirts, and when the customer arrives at your site to buy this t-shirt, he also finds that he can buy the same design he likes on a mug, pillow or sock.
Don't you think he will buy one of these products as well?
This is Upselling and for this reason this field is very profitable as I mentioned earlier, even if you promote through Facebook ads or others you will achieve great profits because the customer will buy more than one product at a time which means that the cost of advertising will be less.
