6 Huge Benefits of Print on Demand
Jun 29, 2022If you're looking for a fast, low-risk, low-cost option to start a t-shirt brand then look no further than Print On Demand.
I'm going to briefly explain what Print On Demand is and tell you six key benefits to using it to start your t-shirt business.
So let's just jump right in...
Print On Demand, also referred to as POD, Drop Shipping, or Made To Order allows you to start a semi-automated business by outsourcing the fulfillment process.
It is not only the cheapest way to start a t-shirt brand, but also the quickest.
So when working with a Print On Demand partner, anytime an order is placed on your website they automatically receive the order, print it (i.e. print the graphic onto a blank t-shirt they supply), and then ship it to your customer on your behalf.
Now that you understand what it is, let's talk about the six key benefits to Print On Demand...
#1 - IT'S VERY LOW RISK
Since you don't even spend a dollar until you've actually made a sale, it is pretty much risk free.
#2 - IT'S A HUGE TIME AND SPACE SAVER
Because the fulfillment and shipping process is totally outsourced, you don't have to worry about storing inventory, printing on any shirts, or shipping out any packages.
#3 - IT'S GOING TO SAVE YOU A TON ON UPFRONT INVESTMENTS
Once again it's all outsourced. This means you don't need to buy blank t-shirts, inks, print transfers, and expensive printing machinery.
#4 - IT'S EASILY SCALABLE
Scaling up in quantity or in number of styles or colors is generally frictionless since Print On Demand vendors will often hold huge inventories with numerous variety of t-shirts, colors, and styles to sell immediately.
You can literally sell hundreds or even thousands of products in a short period of time without ever having to pre-purchase materials or hold any inventory.
#5 - IT'S A SEMI-AUTOMATED BUSINESS MODEL
By outsourcing the fulfillment process, you're freeing more time to focus on design creation, marketing, sales and other revenue generating activity.
#6 - IT DOESN'T REQUIRE YOUR PHYSICAL PRESENCE
By outsourcing the fulfillment process you're also outsourcing the one component that requires your physical presence. This allows you freedom of time and location!
I've been able to live abroad and travel the world, all while running a t-shirt brand because of the Print On Demand business model.
