3 Christmas Design Ideas for your Print On Demand Store

Triple Your Holiday Sales: 3 Essential Christmas Design Ideas for Your Print-on-Demand Store 🎁

Robert, an expert in the field, shared three specific, high-potential design themes that you absolutely must have in your store before the Christmas season officially kicks off. By implementing these three concepts and utilizing smart AI tools and keyword research, you can position your brand for a significant spike in holiday revenue.

Let’s dive into the three design themes and the critical strategy required for execution.

The Three Must-Have Christmas Design Themes

Robert suggests focusing on three distinct design styles that have proven success potential during the Christmas shopping frenzy. You should aim to create at least five designs with each of these themes to maximize your listing potential.

1. Classic Christmas Pattern 

The first, and arguably most essential, design style is the Christmas pattern. Pattern designs are versatile- they work exceptionally well on everything from apparel to home goods. This type of pattern design will definitely sell if you use the right keywords for it.

What makes a Christmas Pattern sell?

  • Christmas Trees 🌲 
  • Santa 🎅
  • Snowmen ☃️ 
  • Decorations (Ornaments, lights, etc.) 
  • Gingerbread

2. Embroidered Christmas Style 

The second concept elevates the design aesthetic by focusing on texture: embroidered Christmas pattern or anything embroidered and Christmas. These will be definitely selling this season.

Embroidered designs offer a premium, vintage, or handmade feel that often translates into higher perceived value. When generating these concepts, you are creating an image that convincingly mimics the look and feel of high-quality stitching.

3. Stained Glass Christmas Aesthetics 

The third highly recommended theme introduces a visually striking element of artistry: stained glass Christmas. Over here you can write any name like tree, gifts, or snowman-it just has to be related to Christmas.

This design style mimics the beautiful, multi-colored panels often seen in classic art. The vibrant colors and distinct black outlines inherent in stained glass designs make them stand out on products.

Strategy: Generating and Optimizing Your Designs

Having the right themes is only half the battle. You need an efficient strategy for generating these designs and ensuring they are listed correctly to maximize sales.

Leveraging AI Tools: Midjourney

Robert highly recommends using Midjourney, an AI tool, which he uses on a daily basis and suggests you use as well.

Generating Designs in Midjourney:

  • Explore Existing Concepts: You can begin by simply typing one of the required keywords-such as "Christmas pattern"- into the search function. You’re going to get thousands of designs of Christmas patterns.
  • Save or Generate New: From the results, you can take the designs from here if you want to just save them to your computer. Alternatively, you can generate your own designs by specifying product needs, such as writing in an air aspect ratio for a MacBook case.

Quality Control: The Essential Checkup

A crucial step often overlooked by new POD sellers is quality control. Always open up the generated design and take a critical look at the details. Robert warns that if the image doesn't look proper-for example, if "the Christmas man hasnt a two eyes and a mouth and so on" there is a risk that you're going to add an image which doesn't look good.

Volume and Keyword Research

The action plan is structured:

  1. Generate Volume: Go to your design tool and write in one of these keywords and create at least five designs with each of these theme.
  2. Keyword Mastery: You must definitely use Alura or any other research tool to find the best keywords for your listings. By doing this, Robert is more than sure that you are going to sell them.

Maximizing Products Per Design

A final, advanced optimization technique is maximizing the number of listings you can create from a single design.

Instead of one design per product, you can strategically use one image and two keywords to generate five or more products. This dramatically increases your store's size and search presence. You should log into a print system, go to the course section, and check the video that explains how to generate more than one product with just one image and two keywords. You should definitely use that method in your store.

Key Takeaway: Start Now!

The success of your Shopify POD store this Christmas hinges on preparation. By focusing on these three proven design aesthetics- Pattern, Embroidered, and Stained Glass - and coupling them with smart AI generation, rigorous quality control, and robust keyword research (using tools like Alura), you are setting your store up for maximum festive sales.

Don't wait; start exploring and generating those designs today!

How to earn extra 10$ on each POD order with Screen Protectors!

How to earn extra 10$ on each POD order with Screen Protectors!

Boost Your POD Profits: How to Earn $10+ Per Order with Screen Protectors! The Alerioprint system recently introduced two exciting new products that offer sellers a fantastic opportunity to dramatically increase their profit margins on Print-on-Demand (POD) orders. The focus is not just on selling these products individually, but strategically using them as high-margin upsells. Here is a detailed guide on the new products, implementation, and the three crucial methods you can use to leverage them to earn an extra $10 or more per sale. The New Product Line: Screen Protectors The new offering is screen protectors, available in two variations: the regular HD screen protector and the privacy screen protector. While these items can certainly be sold separately, their true value lies in bundling them with existing products, particularly phone cases. The ability to earn $10 or more per sale makes them a powerhouse upsell product. Pricing and Costs For sellers using the Alerioprint system, the pricing is structured as follows: Product Variation Cost (with VAT) Regular HD Screen Protector $3.99 Privacy Screen Protector $4.99 (€1 more than the regular version) The suggested selling price for this product on your store, before applying any discounts, is typically $22.99 or $23.99. Sellers are, however, free to sell it for a higher price if they wish to. The key insight is that selling the screen protector as a standalone item, after calculating costs, standard store discounts, and the 16% fee that Etsy takes, may not leave a significant amount of profit. However, when successfully sold as an upsell product alongside a phone case, you can easily earn a profit of $10 or more in euros or dollars on each transaction. Implementing the Listing in Alerioprint and Etsy The process of adding the new screen protectors to your store is straightforward within the Alerioprint system. Step 1: Creating the Listing To create the product quickly, navigate to the system and go to "add e-hop listing". Select the Product: Pick one of the screen protectors (e.g., the regular one). Select Your Store and Model List: Once you select your store, the system immediately presents the model list. An important distinction for screen protectors is that there are way more available models for them than for the phone cases. Model Quantity: You can add up to 70 models inside one list. For demonstration purposes, the mixed model list was selected. Keywords and Tags: The system provides a template. It is important to note that for the screen protector product, you are allowed to leave the "keyword one" and "keyword two" fields empty if you do not wish to add keywords. If you do want to add keywords, you certainly can. You can also add tags and materials if you want to, though the process demonstrated left them as they were. Step 2: Preparing Your Etsy Store Before finalizing the product creation in Alerioprint, it is crucial to first set up the appropriate section inside your Etsy store. Navigate to Listings: In your Etsy store (or test store, as demonstrated), go to your listings. Manage Sections: Open any listing, click on the small wheel icon, and select "change section". Add the Section: Hit "manage sections" and use the prompt down below to add a new section, such as "Screen Protectors". Step 3: Finalizing the Product in Alerioprint Select Section and Shipping: Pick the newly created section (e.g., "Screen Protectors") and choose your shipping method. Review Pricing: Hit "next" to review the pricing. This is the stage where you calculate your profit margin by taking the selling price and subtracting your store discount and the 16% taken by Etsy. Submit and Activate: Submit the product, activate it, save it, and it will appear in your Etsy store within a few seconds, ready to sell. Three Proven Methods to Upsell Screen Protectors The key to maximizing profit is integrating these screen protectors as effective upsells. The source outlines three distinct methods for achieving this goal. Method 1: Linking Products Through Etsy Discounts This method utilizes Etsy’s native marketing and sales tools to automatically bundle products. Access Discount Tools: Inside Etsy, navigate to Marketing and Sales and Discounts. Create the Link: Search for your best-selling phone case. Then, search for and select the screen protectors you wish to link. Set the Offer: Select these items and hit "continue" to link them. You then add your desired discount (e.g., 25% off). Customer Experience: When a customer views the linked phone case product, they will be shown an offer to "buy together for a better price," indicating that the screen protector is available at a discount. A Critical Note on Linking: The only significant drawback to this method is that you can only connect one screen protector to one listing. This means you would need to create multiple screen protectors to connect them to all of your inventory. An alternative strategy is to focus only on connecting screen protectors to your bestselling phone cases. Method 2: Personalized Offers via Messaging (Post-Order) This method involves direct interaction with the customer after they have placed an order for a phone case, but before you finalize and create the order. Identify the Opportunity: Go to your messages or orders section. Message the Customer: Open the order and proactively message the customer, informing them that you have screen protectors and asking, "Would you like to get one?". Create an Incentive: To maximize conversions, create a promo code specifically for this offer. You can do this by navigating to Marketing, Sales, and Discounts, and selecting "promo code". Example promo code: "50 off screen protector" (You can write anything you want). Set the discount amount (e.g., 50% off) and set the duration (e.g., one day, a few days, or one month). Draft and Send the Offer: The source suggests using tools like Chat GPT to create a professional and "nicely looking" text message that includes the offer and the promo code. You must also add the link to the screen protector listing inside the message. By doing this, you inform each customer who places an order, which is an effective way to drive more sales and increase your revenue by $10 or more per order. Method 3: Targeted Email Campaigns The third method is a broader marketing approach focused on previous customers. Collect Emails: Ensure you are collecting customer emails. Launch a Campaign: Send out an email campaign notifying customers about the availability of the new screen protectors. Provide an Incentive: Offer a specific discount ("x amount of discount") within the email to encourage them to return to your store and make a purchase. Conclusion By immediately adding these screen protectors to your stores and strategically utilizing these three upsell methods—whether linking them via Etsy discounts, offering personalized promo codes, or using email campaigns—you are poised to significantly increase your sales and profits, potentially boosting earnings by $10 or even more per order. Good luck!

How to send out e-mail campaigns to Etsy customers

How to send out e-mail campaigns to Etsy customers

Targeting Existing Customers: The Definitive Guide to Maximizing Sales Through Free Email Campaigns Did you know that you can send out free emails to your existing Etsy customers and earn additional money? Hey, my name is Robert, I am the co-founder of Alerio Print, and in this video, I am going to show you how you can, for free, send out news about your new products, new designs, everything you want to, to your existing Etsy customers and earn money from that. This robust, step-by-step method allows you to leverage your established customer base for recurring revenue. While the specific tools detailed herein are tailored for utilizing customer data originating from the Etsy marketplace, the overarching principles of image optimization, list segmentation, effective content creation, and strategic timing are foundational to any successful e-commerce marketing strategy. Phase 1: Product Preparation and Campaign Foundation The initial step involves defining exactly what you want to promote and ensuring all necessary assets are ready. Establishing Your New Offerings Let’s assume, for example, that you have created a collection of autumn designs with several products, or perhaps a whole new section of new products, or even just one new product or something new that you want to inform your customers which have been purchasing something from you on Etsy. The most effective way to start is by creating those collections and adding them to Etsy. Sourcing and Preparing Visual Assets You have to download the images for your email if you want to add some of your product images, of course. Once you have created all the listings on Etsy, you can go to a mockup library (for example, for MacBook case designs) and download all of those mockup images if you need them. The image which you downloaded actually is in a big size—for example, 5 megabytes (MB). This size is too big for an email. If you want to add it to the email as an image inside it, it has to be small. The ideal target size should be around 100 kilobytes (KB) or 200 kilobytes (KB).   Phase 2: Mastering Image Compression for Email Deliverability Because a 5MB file is vastly oversized for email standards, a process of rigorous optimization is required. The Importance of Compression What I suggest is to find some kind of image compressor. You just load the image and compress it. For instance, a 5 MB image might compress to 1.29 MB, but this might still be too big. You might need to open up the compressor once again and compress the image repeatedly. Right now, it might be 1 megabyte, which is still too big, but you can use it for this purpose. You have to compress your images as low as possible to ensure fast loading times. This process must be applied to all of your images that you intend to insert into the email. Phase 3: Extracting and Organizing Customer Data Next, we will need customer data out of our Etsy store. You can go inside Orders, and you can download all your customer details from there, but we will not do it one by one. I will show you the best way to do it automatically. Methods for Data Collection (The Automated Approach) You can use a Google Chrome extension. You open up the Google Chrome store and type in Etsy order email extractor. Find it, open it, and install it to your Chrome browser. Then, go inside Etsy, open your Etsy orders, and find the extension on the top corner. As you can see, it opens up, and you can extract all your emails and save them to a CSV file. This file will be downloaded to your computer. Now, you have the complete list of all your previous customers from Etsy. Phase 4: Choosing an Email Platform and Building the Audience List There are many options for sending out emails, such as Milechimps, Sendinlue, and Brevo. Selecting a Cost-Effective Platform The sources identify a platform called sendox.com. This one is considered the cheapest and the best way. The free version of this platform allows you to save 1,000 contacts and send 3,000 emails per month. You can use any email sending platform, but this one works well and has a decent amount of customers you can save for free.  Importing Contacts and Creating the Audience You have to create your audience. Create a new list, perhaps named "Etsy customers". Then, hit "add contacts" and select the option to import contacts. You can either copy or paste, or upload the CSV file you just downloaded from the extractor. When uploading, confirm which column is the first name and which is the email. The system handles duplicates; for example, 14 entries in the list might result in 10 unique contacts. If you have a decent amount of orders, you are going to have a lot more customers. Phase 5: Designing the High-Impact Email Campaign Now that the list is inside the email campaign program, you need to create an email. Utilizing Templates and AI for Content Generation You can hit "create an email" (or use a created template). You must select your customer email list and add a subject (e.g., "New fall case collection") and preview text. The body text (e.g., "Hello customer, we're excited to share that...") can be generated by asking an AI tool (like Midjourney) to create a short email campaign text. This text can then be refined by GPT to look nicer with some emojis. Integrating Optimized Images and Links You must then add those images which you compressed earlier. There is a little image sign; you click on it, browse the image, upload it, and insert it into your emails. What is important is that under the image you can link your products. There is a little link button. You click on the image, click on the link button, and it will show you the option to add the link. You open up Etsy, open the specific product you want to show, and copy the link from the product page. You paste the link there and save it. This way, you can drive customers directly to your products. You can write down the price and everything if you want to, but don't add too many visual elements—three to four images is enough for one email. Remember to compress them as low as possible. Implementing Calls to Action You should also add a special button, which you can create in your own style, linking directly to your main store page. Phase 6: Maximizing Conversions with Special Discounts You should add a special discount for your existing customers. Creating the Promotional Offer on Etsy Go inside your profile under marketing sales and discounts. Over there, you create a promo code for them. You can add any amount, like 30%, 20%, or 15%, as you wish. Crucially, you must set up a limit of the date for the offer (e.g., till the end of October). Once the code is created, you copy it and add it to your email list. Phase 7: Strategic Scheduling and Final Launch Once the email is complete, all you have to do is send it out to your customers. You can set up a sending date or send it right away. Choosing the Optimal Sending Time It is not good to send out emails during the night or during the middle of the day. You have to check time differences and find out the best time you should send out the emails based on where the main amount of your customers reside (e.g., USA or inside Europe). If most of your orders are going to the US, check the time in the US and schedule the sending time so that in the US it would be like 10:00 AM in the morning or perhaps 2:00 PM mid-afternoon. Conclusion: Continuous Sales Growth Through Retargeting This is how you can send out emails to all of your customers regarding all the new products and new designs. You can save this as a template, and whenever you add some new designs, you just extract your customers and send them out. I am more than sure you're going to get some sales from your previous customers for sure, if they were satisfied with your products and designs. This method works and you definitely have to do it.
