Hi Cassiy, I have a question to ask. When selling on Etsy, do you recommend focusing on selling a specific product such as mugs, or is it better to offer a variety of products like mugs, t-shirts, phone cases, and more? Thanks

@CassiyJohnson

16 күн бұрын

I've sold lots of products within one store over the years, the best products I have found are Sweatshirts, T-shirts, Mugs, Ornaments and Tumblers. I would suggest if you are just getting started to focus on one product to get your shop going and to learn what it really takes to design for products on Etsy, then when you get some consistent sales coming in, then I would branch out to other products.

The Holiday

One other question. Do you recommend selling with shipping included for Christmas ornaments?

Hello cassiy, i was doing my setup on Etsy, they required one time fee to open the store. Or is their way i ain't did something wrong? I'm asking you because i was watching all your Etsy + printify videos you made for us

It's A Wonderful Life!!

Just in time. I was researching the ceramic ornaments. I made some but I wasn't sure if the print would be accurate like the pictures. Because I ordered a sample of an apron and part of my print was cut off. I had to redo it.

You can sell them to customers?

You mentioned at the beginning you'd talk about packaging, which I didn't see/hear. What do they ship in? If it's for a gift, I'm guessing the recipient needs to go out and get an extra gift box?

@CassiyJohnson

13 күн бұрын

Sorry about that, I ended up cutting out the packaging parts of the video because it was really long with those and I didn't think people would want to see but I should have left it because you aren't the only one who's asked! I might record some KZread shorts videos and post about the packaging but they all just basically come in padded mailer envelopes and no receipt inside or they may have a packing slip but it does not say any amounts that were paid on them. No extra gift box or anything on any of these options!

The US always get the cool stuff on Printify. I hope at some point they offer a wider choice of ornaments for 🇬🇧

@CassiyJohnson

Totally agree, hope you get some more fun options in the future! What I've found is that most people end up selling just to the US even if they don't live here because it's a little simpler.

I got the ceramic circle one and hated the quality..it looked blurry and washed out. My art was at high resolution and it was vector art. Will try the other ones. They look better.

How big is the print area on the sled ornament?

I'm confused. I don't do POD but I thought the product went straight to the customer. How would you be able to intercept to retie the hanging ribbon. Love your videos!

@user-zo2ss1rf2i

13 күн бұрын

Hello! So from the Printify site all you would do is enter your address for the order instead of a customers address. I've followed Cassiy for a while and in a previous video she explained that she manually fills her orders (unless something has changed that I missed) though you do have the option to have printify fill them automatically. Manual fulfillment is typically done for custom orders and automatic is typically non-custom orders. Hope that helped.

I was planning to awkward styles ornaments but directly, do you recommend them?

@CassiyJohnson

16 күн бұрын

I have seen them make good quality shirts before, I’ve never checked out their ornaments. They did have some longer production times compared to other printers but again that was on clothing so you’d have to do a test for yourself and check out the quality and shipping time to be sure!

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. * Question if someone orders more than one with different family names as gifts for example. How would we accomplish that in Printify?

@CassiyJohnson

15 күн бұрын

So with personalized listings you need to make the listing on Etsy instead of publishing a listing from printify like normal. So here is what it would look like 1. Make listing on Etsy with no SKU numbers 2. When you get an order for these, they will show up in your "other orders" section on Printify because it's not connected yet. This will keep orders from accidentally going through with the fake name on it like "Johnson Family" 3. If they order 2 ornaments and want different names on each, then sometimes this can be confusing because it will only let you upload one design file. So what you'll do is upload one of the design files and then import the order. This will NOT send it to production yet. So once you import it, then go to the orders page and edit that order. Change the first design to quantity one, and then add the second ornament onto the order so that now you have one version with the first name and the second ornament with the second name. Hope that was clear enough!!

They are doing some testing on their site and you likely got entered into the beta test for that feature only offering printify choice.
