love all the info, super helpful! I was looking to see a deeper comparison of quality. I resently got a samole for the Gildan and it leaves so much fluff it's almost unwearable. I washed it and dried it and it's still the same :( do the other 2 do the same?

Hi Mandy, I love your channel. You give so much information. Do you offer shirt reviews. Thank you

@studiomdesignsco Год назад

Do you mean tshirt reviews vs sweatshirts? If so - then yes, I’m hoping to do more of these types of product comparisons in the near future! 🤓 Let me know if you meant something different with your question 😊

@mattschauer6256 11 месяцев назад

Hi Mandy! Thanks for the great video series! What size px do you use when creating your sweatshirt designs?

@studiomdesignsco 11 месяцев назад

I pretty much always use 5000x5000, but if I’m making a longer vertical design (vs a typical horizontal chest design) then I will sometimes bump it to about 6000x4800 just to get a better ratio to work with 😊

@lissetteh2216 Год назад

What do you recommend for shipping when you have different items and different provider. I have each shipping profile set up for the item but I had a sale where they purchased multiple items and it only charged one shipping fee. Example a shirt and dog bandana

@meganarchie1802 Год назад

Do you/can you do "pocket designs" on the gildan 18000?

@auraoflight4429 Год назад

Thansk So helpful! Do you recommend to use Monster Digital for sweatshirts for the print quality? (besides SwiftPOD which you're using)

@studiomdesignsco Год назад

I use Monster Digital sometimes as a backup (along with Duplium when I run into color shortages - they're in Canada and I'm in the U.S. but I still have good luck with them), but SwiftPOD is generally my primary printer :)

@melanielandi5195 7 месяцев назад

Hello Mandy! I cannot find a tutorial on how to do embroidery sweatshirt. Could you make one please?

@studiomdesignsco Год назад

At the moment I don’t currently design for embroidery (you have to create a very specific design file), but if that changes I’ll definitely post about it! 😊

@angelacolley8362 Год назад

I recently came across your channel and have been watching every video. I love how you explain everything in depth. I noticed you didn't include sales tax anywhere in the calculations. I'm located in Canada and use Printful. Each time they fulfill an order there is some amount of taxes added. I know you're not an accountant and can't give tax advice, but do you account for that somewhere? It can make a big difference in profit margin.

@Bekind95 9 месяцев назад

For GST/PST/HST + income tax for Canadian sales, I would personally plug 20% into the spot where it says Offsite Ads to cover this. I would charge the full shipping price as well, and I would give myself a few dollars buffer. I am new to POD, not Etsy handmade, so take this with a grain of salt. Also, I have a feeling that there are far more US buyers than Canadian buyers, so might not be too big an issue anyway, but still, I would personally do what I said above.

@chantelaylward 10 месяцев назад

Mandy you are a wealth of knowledge ! Appreciate it so much. I am Canadian and am so torn on whether a Canadian printer such as duplium or using an American printer such as Swift pod would attract or deter a USA customer. Since the main customers using Etsy are Americans wondering if I should gear my shop toward the masses. Do you have any input here ?

@Bekind95 9 месяцев назад

To the mass would get my Canadian vote.

@elsarave-williams6839 Год назад

I just found your channel. Loving how you explain things! About backups, do you contact the customer to ask if it's ok to sub with Jersey or do you just do it? Also, if Jersey is more expensive, do you eat the cost or have customers pay the more expensive rate? Thanks in advance!

@studiomdesignsco Год назад

If I’m wanting to substitute I do reach out to the customer and let them know I have an alternative for them. I then put a time limit and say something like “Let me know if you have any concerns. If I don’t hear from you by end of day tomorrow I will proceed with the alternative option”. That way I’m not stuck waiting around for them. I had to substitute a fair amount during the holidays and I got zero complaints or cancellation. I also typically absorb any cost differences (which are generally pretty minor in most cases) 😊

Hi, can you do a video on how you get product to step by step for getting niche, title and tags ,that you use for real in your store. Your real honest strategy you use.

@studiomdesignsco Год назад

My course playlist on my channel covers all of my various strategies and processes for each of these in-depth 😊

@blissessentials524 Год назад

Do you use a certain white color for colors like sports grey, sand ect..and certain white for the black sweatshirt?? I had a customer saying the white was not pigmented enough for her liking

@studiomdesignsco Год назад

For white I use #FCFCFC. On mockups I make sure to lower the transparency of the design so that it’s not as vibrant. I also make sure to include in the description that DTG printing means that ink will soak into fabric and gives it more of a “vintage/distressed” style. It’s the nature of DTG in general (and every once in awhile a customer won’t like it), but it does help to set the customer expectations where possible 🤓

@hallierebeccachesnut2705 10 месяцев назад

Hi there. I was wondering why you didn't mention the color discrepancy of the Gildan 18000? There is a yellow tint to the whole design compared to the other ones. The white is slightly yellow, and the blue bar in the design is more green on the Gildan.

@studiomdesignsco 10 месяцев назад

That was actually just my phone camera trying to autocorrect coloring with all the different colors in the frame. The sand color sweatshirt made my phone overadjust on coloring especially. In person though the design colors were very similar. Good eye! 🤓

@rayfinkle9369 10 месяцев назад

I got a sample today and the Monster Digital 18000 colors were pretty weak. My design is very intricate and colorful. I think I might have to spend $8 more per sweater to go with Comfort Colors :( Guess I'll have to get a sample.

Since you sell sweatshirts and other expensive items, do you just always have the Etsy free ship over 35 turned off?

@jayjayf9699 10 месяцев назад

Why do you take the L price and not the others , and do you do all the size and colour variants ? How do you decide which sizes and colour variants to choose ?

@lorrihalliday1499 Год назад

Good Morning Mandy. Your videos are Great. Thank you. I am so curious are you a one woman business? You have so many things going on it seems overwhelming to think this is possible to do it all alone.

@studiomdesignsco Год назад

Lol I get that a lot 😅 My brain literally doesn’t stop (which can be a blessing and a curse), and I’ve also always had a very entrepreneurial spirit. That being said, yes at the moment I run my handmade business, print on demand shops, and this channel by myself. Thankfully my print on demand shops are relatively passive now (which is why I love it). In general I tend to work in time blocks, use lots of post it notes, and have just learned to be very efficient with a lot of tasks. I’m hoping to have some help with my handmade business soon though which I am not afraid to admit will be nice 😊

@P-Funk69 Год назад

That calculator looks great. Now I’m toggling between alura etsy calculator and a sale price calculator to generate strategically the price after discount so it’s a .99 or .95 price. It would be great if you could show somehow in this calculator as a line item what your product price would be after the discount. Then it would replace all of the tools you need to set prices. I’d buy that. ❤

@studiomdesignsco Год назад

That’s understandable! I do have a line in my updated version that has “total that customer pays” that adds up the item price, discount, and shipping, but that’s a little different than I think what you’re asking for. I personally don’t put a whole lot of priority on the .99 and .95 pricing, especially since having a 24-hr ongoing sale turns it into a weird number anyway (which I actually like because it looks less “planned”). I set my profit percentage in Printify that I want on the item, turn on the sale percentage in Etsy that I want, and that’s the sale price that the customer sees. But I know lots of sellers prefer to price differently, which works too. There’s no right or wrong way, as long as you’re making a profit that works for you 🤓

@danimotherofchickens479 10 месяцев назад

Most not people will not pay $39 for a sweatshirts, specially not in this economy

@danimotherofchickens479 10 месяцев назад

And definatley not 49$

@studiomdesignsco 10 месяцев назад

If the design is in demand and for the right target buyer they absolutely do. My average order value is $39 for sweatshirts (and even higher for popular colors that cost more, like forest green), and that is even with a discount. Focus on creating good designs based on research and you will not have to race to the bottom on price.

@rayfinkle9369 10 месяцев назад

@@studiomdesignsco Exactly. People pay more for designs they want. Look at Under Armor, Nike, anything at Nordstroms, SuperDry, John Varvatos.............
