Why should you consider Print On Demand (POD) business model?

~ A mini Thread ~

1. What is POD?

If you are not aware what is POD you can checkout my earlier thread https://twitter.com/freedom_hustle/status/1354063570250526720?s=20

2. Why POD ?

- Design once but leverage it across different products and platforms

- Satisfy needs of the customers

- Eliminates pain points of a traditional business

3. Design once and leverage it

- Once you create a design it can be leveraged across numerous products like t-shirts, mugs, books, stickers, etc..

- Your design can be used in over 20+ platforms

- So one design in 20+ platforms and atleast 5+ products gives you leverage

4a. Satisfy Customer Needs

- Big retailers mass produce with generic designs

- A POD business focus on niches

To quote an example people wanted to show support for nurses & doctors and POD satisfied that need.

It will difficult for big business to compete in this space

4b. Satisfy Customer Needs

- Another great example is "Will you shut up, man" was one of the quote which caught everyone attention during elections

- A POD designer put a design in with the same quote in one of the platform and within the next 24 hours she made 1,000$ profit

5. POD eliminates pain points of a traditional business

- No inventory headache

- Upfront automated setup

- Negligible investment

- Expand to multiple platforms

- Shipping by print manufacturer

- Setup the business within a day

- Validate your idea

- Scale your business
