New funshirt added and why I picked Redbubble

in #design7 years ago

This one was added to my regular online shop.

I decided I'll just have to stick with the one online shop, because I'll just give up if I have to spread my designs and energy across several shops. Maybe in the future.

So this is a slight edit of the one I posted on Teespring. That one is still running for 3 days, but obviously hasn't sold any yet. One sell wouldn't even be enough, because they'll only print if there are atleast 3 orders. So I figured Redbubble is a better way to go.

I edited the text and it is now hosted in my Redbubble shop. The good thing about that is that it'll get printed for each individual sale. And they also allow me to sell the design on many other products.

I don't usually sell my designs on every product available, but I make a good pick on what works for each individual design. The designs are available on atleast t-shirts. My photographs are usually not available on t-shirts, but they work well for things like pillows, bags and obviously prints.

I think this particular print is kinda funny as a laptop skin:

So I also shared my Steem designs in the past. I was afraid that after the logo redesign on Steemit, they wouldn't work anymore, but then I figured, I made them for 'Steem', not for 'Steemit', so they are actually still fine! Though the sticker (in my footer) could do with a color change now I guess!

I don't have a new design in mind yet, but I have no clue how to market them well anyway, so it's not like any will sell any time soon. Some say you should buy advertisement on Facebook, but I'm not ready for that yet. Maybe later, once I have more designs ready.

it's good to have your own shop ☺

Yeah, though it's just an account where I provide the designs and they do all the rest. So the fun bit's for me and the hassle that comes with printing and shipping is for them. Might not make a big profit, but that's okay. Not like I sell much anyway :-)

why you don't sell tshorts with steemit sign, you may have more profit then

Yeah, I have a Steem design shirt, but it didn't get any sales. It's still up there, but I figured I'll go to more general designs, since the Redbubble site is for everyone, not just Steemians. Once I come up with a good Steemit design, I'll make a new shirt!

@playfulfoodie, wonderful designing and your great efforts. i really live your work. keeep it up, my best wishes for you.

like as i said earlier, this is a lovely design especially this particular colour. i just dont like white colours coz of easy stain lol @playfulfoodie

Haha that's a fair point :D

Nice design. I also design my own t-shirts and I have been selling the design on a online shop, but I haven't sold any atm. I will check redbubble, if there are a lot of people purchasing there!

It's really hard to sell anything. I don't do much in the form of advertisement, so that basically means I don't sell anything either. I sold prints on Deviantart three times and I sold a bag on Redbubble once. I also sold Steem stickers there once, and that's about it for my online sales so far :-)

is this heat pressed?

Nice business by the way.

I was actually not sure how they manufacture this, so I looked it up on their site:

For our basic mens, womens & kids apparel we use direct to garment printing, which involves applying a pretreatment before loading the garment into a printer. This ensures the prints sink into the fibres of the textile, making them much more long wearing than traditional ‘transfer’ prints, which just sit on top.

Our full bleed range, which includes products like the graphic tee, leggings, scarf & A-line dress are created using a different technique called sublimation printing, which uses heat sensitive inks. Under heat, these inks turn into gas and combine with polyester textiles. Since the ink becomes part of the structure of the material, the images on the fabric don’t fade or crack, even after many washes.

I think taht is called acrylic, if the print looks like those branded shirts, its machined printed as in acrylic which is the highest kind that I know. Worked in the shirt printing industry for a while.

Ooh I see! Then you know much more about this than I do :D All I do is give them a design...

well, your sense of designing is interesting, you used the brown color. That color has good traits as in it has the feel of welcoming and a sense of being approachable. Hope you can bend more into the details, maybe use more of the space in the design like adding interesting subjects like more texts or other elements. But so far, this is good.

Aww thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate that :-)

haha! nice one😂!

Thank you! I'm happy you like the design :D
It was actually inspired by a shirt I saw that said "Bad puns are how eyeroll".

LOL! that's pretty funny too!
