I love Printful. And here’s why. If you know anything about me, you know I get pretty excited about online marketplaces and the power of being able to scale on a shoestring budget. Printful is kind of a mixture of those two things.
Printful is a print on demand drop shipping service, which means it’s kind of like marketplaces you’re probably familiar with such as Zazzle and Redbubble, but with a bit more freedom and creativity.
With Printful you are responsible for driving your own traffic to your site, whether it be a Shopify or BigCommerce site, or one of the dozens of other kinds of sites that Printful integrates with. However, they have an amazing selection of items you can print your designs to and dropship, and they handle all the shipping, etc. which makes everything flow super smooth, and they can make your brand look amazing.
In addition to all the coolness that Prinful already is, they recently created an integration that will allow Printful to fulfill orders you sell on marketplaces such as Amazon and Etsy, so very very cool.
And don’t think that you have to be some super creative person to create your own online store and have your products fulfilled through Printful. Even if you’re not an artist but you can see the power of Printful and how all these simple pieces fit together, you can just hire designers on places like oDesk or buy designs that others create and sell on design marketplaces such as Creative Market.
The possibilities are endless. And Printful makes it simple.
