Hey there, it's AG. Hope you're doing well. I'm going to be talking about print-on-demand and 2021 it's something that I haven't really spoke about in some time. Let's talk about print on demand as a whole and the differences in 2021. So I'm other printful website, which many of you know is, I guess, like the go-to when it comes to print on demand, along with a handful of others. I'm in no way affiliated to any of these companies, but I just wanted to suggest these, because these are companies that I've used in the past so quickly, just looking at the homepage, they have a few stats that I agree with, which is in 2020 e-commerce is predicted to grow by Kim sent its booming. We all know that apparel remains a global market heavyweight that is true. There's physical stores are shutting down. Yes, they are. And it's going to e-commerce is easier than ever. That's absolutely true. And that's something that I continually say. So one of the things with print on demand is it's great for creatives, people who are creative, who specifically who are able to create designs themselves. That is a major convenient point. It's great for those who want to start an apparel brand with very little equity and scale scale it up. And let's not forget Jim shark, you know, started by Band Francis. He started with a dropshipping model, and he was screen printing as well. So this is your and now they're obviously a multi-billion dollar company. So when people ask like is printed a man worth that can't even make a profit margin from print-on-demand? Absolutely, yes. Will it make you hundreds of them? Thousands all those within the first week? Probably not.
But it is a long game. So I just wanted to give you a reminder that Jim shark was essentially, you know, firstly, Drop Shipping. And I want to talk about quickly a big difference in 2021 when it comes to print on demand. And what exactly is new ever since? You know, back in the day, I was making quite a few Dropout, not Drop Shipping what Drop Shipping and print on demand Blog. But there's a lot that has changed since, you know, those videos and one of those things is the ability to create what we call a Opie. So which stands for all over prints, and I'll show you what I mean by that right now. So if we go into printer fi, let's just go into the home page there. Now, provide a option called aop. Actually, if we go back, there's on the side bar somewhere. Yep. Aop clothing. So you're able to you previously, if you're in the Enderman space, you understand that there's restrictions in the dimensions and areas you're able to print on. But AARP, which is relatively new. It's not completely new now, but it's going to grow in 2021 no doubt as we're able to completely print all over the material. So if we jump into an example here, hopefully able to see an example here. So with this sweatshirt, right yours, you can see that you're able to literally print all over this sweatshirt or the shirt. So let me let's quickly jump to this video. Yeah. So with this it's literally an all-over print shirt. And this changes the game completely because it gives you it opens up a whole new dimension of creativity and prints that you're able to sell. And I personally, I think it's just it looks a lot more customizable, rather than just, you know, like a rectangular box to Able able to print on. That being said, this is relatively more expensive, so you do need to be wary of that. So if we go down here, you can see that it starts from 31 dollars USD. So it's definitely not cheap in any means you're able to print on tights you're able to print on t-shirts, even pencil skirts. So there's all sorts of crazy options. Nowadays. I'm going to give you another alternative, because obviously printer Phi and print full to very big companies in the print-on-demand space. But there's another one called subliminal eater. And these are these they they really focus on aop. And they also focus on custom printed cut and sewn all sorts of different products.
So if we go into products here and click into it, you can see that there's a big focus and aop. As you can see when it comes to blankets. Yoga leggings, hoodies, PJ's, whatever. It might be even masks. So again, I'm not affiliated to to these guys, but this is a really interesting development in this space, in something that's going to be quite large in 2021. So this is if you're in the print-on-demand space, and you already have successful print on demand store like someone last three students, this is something that you definitely want to test out. Now if you're starting up, yeah, sure, you can test something like this out too. But just be wary that the cost of these is going to be decently higher than your normal print on demand shirt. So I want to stress again that well, not again. But I want to stress that branding is extremely important when it comes to print on demand, because it's all about marketing and branding. And I wanted to give you a quick example of this, which I mentioned in a previous video, which is black and black is the Pinnacle of great branding. And they started out as a Drop Shipping business in which they've now, you know, turned into a full private labeled business. But they have terrific branding and marketing. So this is, you know, a lot of print and demand apparel and the just a power brand in general. But you can see here that they sell things for a premium. And it does. So let me tell you now, they're a seven-figure store. So this is an example of a terrific apparel store. So if you're thinking about going to this into this space, you should aspire to an approach like this, because it's going to be different for every single store and every single brand. But the point is that they, they do it terrifically, and they execute it terrifically. And that is why there are seven figures store. So branding is really important. Digital marketing is more important than ever, especially when it comes to apparel and selling apparel, because it with apparel, you're not necessarily selling a resolving of a problem. You're selling fashion, and that can be more difficult to sell. So, as you can see, it has a lot to do with branding. You generate demand through bran. So, like, ask yourself, why Supreme so popular? Because it's their marketing, you know, it's not because they necessarily have such an amazing feature.
You know, it's still a t-shirt, but it's their brand. So just bear that in mind when it comes to print on demand. These elements I'm talking about are so important. And aop is so important when it comes to print on demand. Another thing that I consistently have mentioned in the past is place it and place it as my go to. And I still have an account with them where you're able able to mock up almost absolute anything, especially when it comes to apparel very, very quickly. So to give you an example of this, if I zoom in here, if I hover over this, you can see that this is it looks like a real picture that you've taken, but it's essentially your mock-up it's and uploading of an image onto a mock-up. So I'll give you an example here, if you go into this image here, I'm going to upload my logo. Just an example. You know, let's just upload a master logo onto this answers t-shirt. And you're also able this is a really cool party, also able to change the color of it. So let me give an example here. So I'm going to use the Mastery logo as a quick example. Here, I'll crop it, and then I'll probably want to move this actually. So I'll resize it and have it probably up here. So you can see, like, immediately, it's not like it doesn't look fake. It looks like an actual image of a real t-shirt, and you can even change the color here. So let's change it to like a nice teal blue, some sort. So you can see here, you can change the almost absolutely any color. And it looks amazing. So you can change it to a white gray, whatever it might be. And you can start to see the potential here to create great mock-ups. Maybe I should have this for the Mastery students. But yeah, the point is place. It is a great way to, without much Capital, create a large range of mock UPS, you know, without hiring a photographer editing, the photos that sort of stuff. And this is a really quick, simple, convenient, cost-effective way to have your print-on-demand t-shirts and designs on display on your website in a very appealing way, and very important because, like I said, it's all to do with branding and marketing when it comes to the apparel scene. So this is something you should definitely check out. If you haven't already, I'll leave a link down below to a free trial. I believe a potential discount. So go check them out. But just to recap overall aop gonna be huge in 2021 I'm telling you, and then beyond that marketing, all right, marketing marketing if you don't have Facebook ads down pat, if you don't have your marketing branding down pads, you're not going to be able to generate a a strong enough profit margin. And then beyond that, make sure that you use mock-ups, place it so extremely convenient and important, but predamond, definitely not dead. And it's if anything, it's expanding.
There's more options. There's more things you can print on mogs, Jaws, whatever, all sorts of crazy things. And it's really fun if you're creative, and you're part of a person that is of a creative nature, and you love branding, you love creating stores, and it's still profitable if you do things right.
