My Spreadshirt Strategy To Make More Sales - Print On Demand
my own print-on-demand journey today I'd like to write to you about Spreadshirt again and my strategy on Spreadshirt and how I upload and the differences between the European and us marketplace as you might know
I really like Spreadshirt, it works really well for me as you can see here, this is the last three months I can actually change it to the last six months as you can see this is where I started i think I started in week 45 46 last year and then I started to get the first sales and started to ramp up and now as you can see I mean you know you've got a bad week then you've got a good week I mean some of the good weeks I had yeah eight or seven sales a week I think after just a few months into print on demand this is really good
in terms of my strategy, i upload 20 designs every day occasionally some designs get rejected for marketplace standards and that is because they are spreadsheet they are very I think very careful they have a few other standards in place compared to other websites like redbubble so they actually check designs I guess it's a sort of a bot that checks these designs for example on redbubble if you upload it will definitely be on the marketplace with Spreadshirt some designs go into a pending mode and then I think someone has a look at them or they will be checked by let's say a bot or whatever but definitely some of them are getting rejected not many though not that many on the European marketplace for some reasons
the same designs get rejected on us marketplace from time to time not that many but still, i get more rejections on us marketplace which is a bit strange and it's not necessarily for copyright issues you know I don't have any copyright issues that don't infringe on any copyrights or so it is more about their marketplace standards
sometimes it's just nothing you can do you have to contact them and then prove that you actually have the rights on this of this design well however I wanted to talk to you about the difference between both marketplaces because the European marketplace which basically includes the UK marketplace the german one the french one I think there's an Italian one Spanish one a dutch one and I think there's also I can't remember that there are quite a few marketplaces in Europe and they all connected and this is what I get sales you know from different countries really I mean I'm based in the UK but i get sales on different from different countries people order from Denmark from Germany wherever lots of different sales and I think it works really well for me.
Spreadshirt Strategy To Make More Sales
now if I go to us marketplace this is what I had so only two sales since I started and also I didn't start in week 45 last year I think it was a few weeks later maybe more like a week 50 but I still would have expected a similar number of sales at least, however, i think Spreadshirt don't know but I think spiritual is a german company it might be wrong but they've been around for me, mean I think they were one of the first print on demand companies and I think that might be one reason because they might be quite big in Europe i think in us probably not that big and that might be the reason that just the traffic is a bit lower,
I checked that recently and I actually saw that the traffic on us marketplace was a bit lower but however, it wasn't that much lower so I would still expect a fair number of sales especially because i upload the same designs on the European and us marketplace so it is a bit strange i start to change my strategy today a little bit because what I normally do in terms of uploading
i upload every day 20 designs I start to run the upload tool every morning the flying upload tool i put 20 designs in, and upload them so flying no I mean spreadsheet they have 20 uploads per day you can do basically this is all done by the automated upload tool however i think what happens on the spreadsheet if you go to the stretcher website so if you go to the Spreadshirt website and let's say you want to buy something as a customer and you go to men's t-shirts, for example, well you know there is a category here newest now if someone is just interested in new shirts for example or if you're interested in let's say here there's an autism awareness shirt so let's say you're interested in that and you just look for autism awareness and then you click on the news because you're just interested in the newest designs
well if i upload them in the morning like in six or seven o'clock in the uk you know it will be the middle of the night in us so people might not actually see it because as the likelihood is that less people are you know looking for shirts during the night however in Europe people will you know when they start shopping let's say in the morning people will actually see them in this newest let's say category here so what i'll do from now i only upload the European to the European marketplace in the morning and in the evening after work i will upload to us marketplace and maybe that will give me a difference maybe then because people might actually go and look for the newest shirts you know they might actually see them
then because that would then be in the middle of the day in us or maybe even late morning so that might work and it might give me a few additional sales so that's what I'm going to try now because i don't understand the difference in terms of sales between both marketplaces it doesn't make sense to me so maybe really and it came to my into my mind this morning maybe it's really the different timing so yeah this evening I'll start to upload to the us marketplace for the first time in the evening and see if that makes any difference it might not be, but maybe it will and I'll keep you updated on that but then besides that I really like Spreadshirt i use as I said flying upload
