What is a Printify Pop-Up Store?
Printify Pop Up Store is a new business model that just started recently with Printify. It’s still in beta phase. It started with you and for people such as myself in mind who started with other POD channels such as TeeSpring or RedBubble because we didn’t have the funds to start a regular POD business such as Printify or Printful to cover the fulfillment fees.
POD typically requires that a seller have the funds to cover the fulfillment fees for any order received before it can be processed and shipped to the customer.
And, so now with Printify Pop-up Store, I was extremely happy when I heard this from a TikToker.
I couldn’t believe my ears. So, I went directly to Printify and yes it’s true. And I decided to create my popup store with Printify.
How to Get Started with a Printify Pop-Up Store?
It’s easy and completely FREE to get started on the Printify Pop-up store.
If you already have an account with Printify, you can just go to your Printify account and in the left side menu, add a new store, and select Printify Pop Up Store.
From apparel to home decor, Printify offers a wide range of options for individuals looking to start their own online store without the hassle of inventory management.
- Go to Printify and sign up for a free account.
- After you sign up, answer a few questions.
3. In the dashboard, on the left side menu select “Add a New Store”.
4. In your store settings dashboard, you will create your store. You will add your store name, branding information, Payout information, themes, order processing, and much more. It’s really easy.
5. When you’re done, you can start creating your products and add them to your store. I used Canva to create my designs. You can use Kittl or Adobe Illustrator to create your designs. On the Printify catalog, you will find more than 850 products you can choose from to sell in your store.
6. When you’re done adding all your products to your store, you can promote your store link in your social media bio. I use Beacon.AI for all my social media links including TikTok. It’s completely free to use. You can add all your links (unlimited), social media accounts, and much more to promote your online business, even if you are just starting.
Pros:
100% FREE to start. No fulfillment fees.
Easy to use.
Printify takes care of everything.
Great for beginners who want to start an online business and gain some experience.
Cons:
Available in certain countries.
You have to bring your own traffic. Must learn how to do SEO to bring in organic traffic.
No custom domain. You can add your logo.
Limited themes. Up to 5 themes to choose from.
Limited customization.
How to Promote Your Printify Pop-Up Store?
The only downside, in my opinion, is that you’re solely responsible for attracting traffic to your store. It’s unlike Etsy or Amazon where the customers are already searching and ready to buy on the platform. So, because it will be your store, I suggest to start learning about SEO for eCommerce.
I added my Pop-Up store link to my website Store page and to my Beacons.AI. profile page.
Learn how to write product descriptions using targeted keywords for each of your products. Or, you can start using ChatGPT and give it a specific prompt for a product description and meta description. Make sure to add in your prompt your targeted keyword.
Any outcome received from the given prompt can be edited before publishing your product description.
If you want to start a side hustle with no money such as affiliate marketing, Printify Pop-Up Store, or providing a service to monetize your skills, you can start by using Beacon.AI to promote your business. It’s like having a mini website in the palms of your hands.
