Hey guys! New here...I make shirts for little guys!
Hi Everyone!I create T-shirts from my Original Art (Cats, Birds, Butterflies, Fine Art, and more)...http://www.zazzle.com/amberafternoon
PS...forgot to mention my Squidoo/Blog, where I attempt to keep current updates on what's happening in the major and a few of the minor PODS (CafePress, Zazzle, Printfection, Spreadshirt...). I post new products, current coupons and sales, and other related news. There's also a place to share your POD shop. Thought people here might find it useful: http://www.squidoo.com/podnews
I used CafePress, Zazzle, Printfection and formerly used ArtsNow for T-shirts (stopped because their labeling doesn't meet US standards). I make the most off of CafePress, Zazzle second...and Printfection NIL after several years, which is sad because they have great quality shirts. But most of my sales come from the marketplace. I like Zazzle the best for quality and communisty, BUT their shipping is messed up. If you buy more than one type of thing you get charged the shipping price for both things--so if you buy a shirt, a button, a card, and a pack of business cards your will pay the minimum shipping for each different type of product. So if you bought a shirt, a magnet, and a greeting card, you would pay $12.97 shipping. The shipping is not so bad if you are buying a lot of one thing...but you think that they could find a better cheaper way to ship stuff together.
I prefer Zazzle because of its ease of use but all my sales come from CafePress. Go figure!
I LOVE Zazzle - I have a line of inspirational and humorous T shirts as well as flower and nature photo T shirts. I've looked at Cafepress, but Zazzle seems to beat it hands down.http://www.smilineyestreasures.comhttp://www.zazzle.com/smilineyestreasures*/
I have tried CP and SpreadShirt both but imho no one beats Zazzle...pls visit my t-shirt gallery athttp://www.zazzle.com/TamsTees*
I have designed tons of t-shirts and other products check my zazzle page out.here's the linkhttp://www.zazzle.com/djmbred9009/myfanclub
Lets start this off, first I would like to mention a few POD's (print on demand). www.spreadshirt.com This company has excellent customer service and specializes in flex and flock printing. They have recently jumped into DTG printing. for european sales www.spreadshirt.net www.zazzle.com This company I cant brag on enough. They have a huge array of products for you to add your graphics to. They make advertising super simple with a ton of tools. The commision schedule is designed to help you maximize profit. www.printfection.com This company has really good products, but the real plus there is the ability to make multiple products at once. www.cafepress.com This is one of the largest POD's on the web. customer service leaves alot to be desired but they do offer a wide variety of products, and recieve tons of hits to the marketplace. The only advice I would have for anyone thinking of getting into this type of designing is to check them all out and see which one fits you best.
Having used both Cafepress and, just recently, Zazzle; I really like Zazzle. Seems to be more in touch with trends in todays markets. Of course this is a personal preference as tat says so check them all out.
