What are the pro's and cons of POD

Print on demand is a where you work with a supplier to customize products on your behalf, like t-shirts, hoodies, baseball caps, mugs, bags, hats, tote bags, posters, wall art, the supplier prints your designs on the products, then you sell them under your own brand.

​

That means you don’t have to pay for the products until after you’ve actually sold them from your store, so you do not need to buy the items in bulk, print them yourself and have them sitting in your shop or offices, storage facility, you do not need to hold any stock yourself.

​

With print-on-demand, everything after the sale, the printing, the shipping to your customers, is all managed by your print on demand partner/supplier.

 

Once you have chosen your provider/s and set up your online store, to show your products, everything else can happen automatically. The product is ordered and then printed and then shipped to the customer who just purchased it from your online shop.

​

You can use a print-on-demand partner/supplier to:

​

• Test your market idea with a new product line for an existing business or new business, e.g. tops, bags, caps, all without the risk of having to buy all the products first and have them sat on your shelves or your storage, waiting for people to buy them.

• Print on demand is a great way to make money, leaving all the printing and the shipping of your products, whilst you spend your time, looking for the market to sell them to and coming up with creative designs to put on your products, if they don't sell, you have not wasted your time buying and stocking the products in advance.

• Create products for a potential target niche of customers. e.g. People who are passionate about bikes, running, fishing, walking, the list goes on, find your niche and design for them.

• Create one-off prints to test for yourself, see if people like them, take pictures of the products and put them on social media and on your website, when you find your market, ramp up the awareness about your products on Facebook, Google, Instagram and enjoy the sales. The supply and shipping of your products to your customers is already taken care of.
