Print on Demand: Learning From Your Customers (and Yourself, Too!)
Welcome back to my limited series podcast where we are talking all about print on demand!
Cause today? It’s a big one!
We are talking ways to expand by learning from your customers and yourself, too. We’ll talk about not being afraid to adjust your plans for your print on demand business, how sometimes we sell unexpected items, and I discuss ways I’ve pivoted my businesses in the past + ways I am currently testing products and designs in my print on demand Etsy shop. This was recorded in November and it still stands! I LOVE testing out new products. You never know what’s going to make people fall in love with your stuff! And honestly? Sometimes you’re surprised about what you fall in love with, too!
In our sixth episode of Lissa Talks Print on Demand, we are learning from customers.
In this episode, we’ll discuss:
Not Being Afraid to Pivot
How Sometimes We Don’t Love What We Thought We Did
How I Test Items in My Print on Demand Shop
A Refresh of Mixing What You Love With What Sells
Ways I Pivoted My Photography, Print on Demand Shop, and Mockups
How To Pay Attention To What Sells
Wanna know this episode in one quote? I’ve got you, boo!
“You started your shop to sell tee shirts to science teachers but noticed you’re mostly selling sweatshirts to women working in STEM. Where do you go from here?
One of the most amazing parts of Print on Demand is this: You don’t have to do things one way. More important? Because there’s no physical inventory, you can scale however you want. Traditionally, you’d have to order – and then off load – your products. With POD, though, you can test a ton of stuff and, if something starts to sell, you don’t have to wait for it to arrive and test. You can immediately start a new test.”

Literally forever obsessed with Printify. I use Printify for all of my print on demand printing and I’ll never stop singing their praises. They’re incredible! For design work, I’m totally in love with Canva and also love finding extra artwork + fonts on Creative Fabrica and Creative Market. For photography, I shoot with a Canon R6 and most of my mockup photographs are taken with the 35L or 50L. I do all of my editing in Adobe Lightroom and have since 2011! It’s my jam!
