3 Pricing Strategies For Your Etsy + Print On Demand Business in 2023 (Etsy POD For Beginners)

[@ComeHobbyWithUS]

I'm just starting my POD Etsy shop, but I'm learning so much from your videos. I'm all about being organized and your videos help. I structure my day with one hour of walking when I first get up. Then I make a cup of coffee and have my Bible Study/Devotional time, Then I allow myself 20 to 30 minutes to take care of personal emails, social media, etc. THEN, I'm actually ready to start my business day. I try to be ready for this by 9 a.m. My business day starts with what I "think" I want to accomplish this day. Then I watch any of your videos on topics I think I need. Sometimes I am allowing myself to click on a video in your playlist, completely at random. This constitutes my morning group business meeting. Your videos give me the information and the encouragement I need. Next, I review my to complete today list, then I actually get to work on designs and listing. I thank you so much for meeting me virtually in my morning business meeting. You are a great partner in my new venture. 😀

I watched parts of a few videos and no one’s video gave me the right info. Your video did and I watched the whole thing. The $24.99 + free shipping is exactly the advice I need!

[@lesliehintz2484]

Can you tell me when changing the tshirt prices to $24.99 do you change it on Printify first? THat's what I've been doing. Changing the prices to $24.99 and then go over to my Etsy shop and click on the box on that liisting and then go to editing options and then to edit prices and that's where I put the $1 incremethat's supposed to raise next size up to a dollar but all of my sizes are showing $24.99. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Also there is nothing that says "bulk." Please any help would be so much appreciated. My shop is a mess right now.

[@visionsofheaven]

Thank you :). I originally followed your pricing strategy, and the folks who follow me in my regular work are fine with it. I started wondering if I should lower costs, charge for shipping, and run sales, but honestly am not sure if I have the bandwidth for that since my regular job is a passion too. How wonderful to hear your free shipping strategy is working so well. This is a breath of fresh air :)

Thanks Wendy, really appreciate your support and sweet comment!!

[@marcososa1986]

Hi Cassie, thanks for the info! I have a question, so Etsy sent me a message on one of my orders saying this: Your order contains multiple products types or print providers that have different shipping rates. As Etsy automatically applies a flat shipping rate, this may result in a loss of profit. Both products are from Printify, but from different providers, luckily Etsy charged the shipping fee for the most expensive product, but almost zero for the other product (which was sent by a different provider, and charge the full shipping fee by Printify). So I ended up paying double the shipping cost (on Printify) than what was charged by Etsy to the customer. How do you compensate the prices then? Or how would you change the shipping settings on Etsy?

[@bernyalvarez7426]

Hi Cassiy. For success on any items be it shirts or mugs or tote bags besides having good designs how many does it take to have of each item to increase chances of a sale? I get most my views on my diaper bags and swimsuits. No sales yet. I’m just recently getting a better grasp on designing and use of good mock-ups etc thanks to you.

[@CassiyJohnson]

It's less about how many you have for sale and more about how much research you did on being prepared. Did you make sure you are selling in a niche that is in high demand and people are currently searching for and buying? Did you make a design that not only looks good but is also a trending design style for this year like checkerboard or retro fonts and colors? These two things can be hard to master but once you do, you should start to see sales!

[@dianeallewelt7062]

As a complete newbie, I am SO SO grateful for your knowledge and expertise. While watching this video I did a compete cost comparison of the Gildan 5000, the BC 3001 including free shipping at $24.99 each, with the ComfortColors1717 not including shipping. Surprisingly the PM is less than 20% for Gildan 5000 and 13.09% for the BC 3001? Looks like I will start with CC1717 without free shipping for a WIN ($29.99=29.45%PM)! I would love to share my Google Sheet with you as I added printer details, alternate costs, the package insert and custom tag options if you like. I am so very grateful to you, I am hoping to get a PhD in Etsy TShirts like you one day :)

What shipping do you use? Usps first class?

[@biggercommunications2053]

Hi Cassiy, This video was very helpful. I just have a quick question. I know that you can opt out of Etsy Off Ad fees until you hit $10,000 in sales. Then they will charge 12% for each sale that came from one of their off site ads (if the person clicked on the ad of course). So, once you get to that level, do you raise the price of the shirt to include that potential charge, keep the price the same, or price somewhere in the middle? Thanks! Jessica

[@CassiyJohnson]

Hey Jessica great question! I just leave the prices that same because this doesn’t happen super often. I get even on my busiest months maybe 10-20 offsite ad sales. My biggest month ever I think I had 50 out of 2000 items sold were from this. Ideally you aren’t losing money on it when you get these sales and they will help boost your listings to get more organic sales!

I tried to add this free shipping but it doesn't show free shipping on my shop. So I a bit confused, not quite sure how this sale works any advice would be great.

[@LaurenDelsackAstrologer]

Hi really love your videos! Is offering free shipping just for customers in the U.S. or people in the country where you sell? What if somebody in Europe buys something from your shop in the U.S.? Is that also free shipping? That would take a chunk out of my profit, no? Thank you for helping me understand that.

[@Betty-v8o]

Hi Cassiy, thank you for sharing all your insight and knowledge. Your videos are super helpful. I have two questions. You mention that you use the 24.99 free shipping strategy. Did you start off with this strategy as a new seller? I am wondering if you think people would still buy at that price from a new seller that has not yet established themselves and may only a few if any reviews. My second question is about shipping. So I understand that shipping is applied to each item, but say you have a sale for 10 shirts, each item is applied a 5 dollar shipping fee, the shipping cost for this order is $50? Whether the cost is passed on to the customer or incorporated into the pricing, am I understanding this correctly? Seems high, but I am new to this.

[@ImogenShade]

Maybe have it qualified for free shipping over a certain amount? $50 in shipping feels wrong!

[@addiedivers4063]

HI! Do you use an excel sheet to organize your products? How do you keep all your products organized with pricing etc? Personally on Printify you can only organize your shirts by brands and not by design. I would love something where I can see the design I have in all the different versions I have of the same design. Because the price also differs whether you have one or two sided shirts. Sorry for the long winded question. Hope I made sense!

[@CassiyJohnson]

I don't really track stuff like that, I typically just spend my time making new things until something starts selling, then I notice it's selling and add that designs to more items if that makes sense! Try not to analyze this business to death.

[@FitQTees]

I was wondering about this. Especially how they can stay in business selling $6 shirts with free shipping. I was assuming the kept stock in blank tops and printed them themselves. Thank you for clarifying!

[@CassiyJohnson]

I think that my best advice to this would be to really try to work on your mindset that you know this is a learning experience and no one is good at things right when they first try them. There is likely lots of little places you can slowly improve on. I tried to have a mindset in the beginning that if I got no sales for a year but learned a lot, then it would be worth it! Obviously we want you making sales before that though so here are a few tips just in case you are missing anything. 1. Spend 50% of your time working on designs for what will be selling 8-12 weeks from now. Spend the other 50% designing for what is selling NOW. Make sure you are working on things that are currently selling. 2. Make sure you aren't just making up a design that "looks good" each time you go to design. It's not enough for it to just look nice on your computer or phone, it needs to fit within the trends that are currently selling this year. Are you doing retro fonts and retro colors? that is a huge trend this year. 3. Do you have absolutely GREAT mockups? I'd recommend Moonlit Mockups if you don't have literally the cutest mock ups yet. Are you including the ugly printify or printful mocks in your listings? don't do that if you are. 4. SEO, are you spending time taking seo from other best sellers? Are you using the full Title space and tags space? Are you putting the most important keyword you want to rank for first? 5. Do you have cute photo cards in your listing and a cute size chart? 6. Do you have a nice looking description that answers all of your customers potential questions? 7. Do you have a nice logo and banner? If you are doing all of those things right, then you might just need a little more time. But if you really are doing all those things, then the sales should start coming!

Hi Barb, so glad you enjoyed my video! Yes a lot of times I run a 20% off sale but price my items at $30.99 so then after the sale it's $24.79. But I have recently found out that in states like California, you need to sell something at the non sale price at least 1x per month. So I am going to re do my strategy probably!

@@CassiyJohnson please share how you decide to change it, it would be useful to all of us

[@vondalowery4604]

@@CassiyJohnson could you not just choose one or two items to sell at regular price the entire month and discount all others at 20% and be okay for states like california. OR perhaps once per month put everything in the store at the regular price for instance on the 1st of the month for a couple of days and then change it all back on sale for the entire rest of the month?

Hi Cassiy, Do we have to list in the Etsy product description that we are using print on demand products?

[@CassiyJohnson]

No you do not! You just have to select in the listing that you are using a production partner.

[@simplelifeofsusan]

Hi Cassiy, I wanted to get your thoughts on this. I have been working on T-shirts, Hoodies, and Christmas Ornaments so far. I do not have a lot yet. Anyway, I want to offer mugs also. So my question is, would you advise dedicating a full shop to mugs? I can’t help but think it will be more professional. I really LOVE creating drinkware both POD and physically. I’d love your opinion. Or is this what you mean by creating one general store offering multiple products. (Not sure if you mentioned this in this video or another one).

[@CassiyJohnson]

If you are just getting started, then I recommend trying to focus mainly on one product type in the beginning so you can better understand what types of niches and design styles sell well on those, what customers value in a product, what types of photos sell the best, what features to highlight in your listing to get more sales, what makes a great description for that product etc. Then you can branch out to other products. But I personally would put them all in one store because it is much more simple to run one store instead of multiple and quicker to grow it with number or sales and reviews. But you are fine to do it either way you would like!

Any advice on how to price gildan 1800 with the price from the printify provider varies due to color and size?

[@CassiyJohnson]

I actually just showed exactly how I do this in this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqTZgqyLoZyXh8U It will answer all of your questions

[@scallau01]

Thanks so much for this video! It's so helpful! If you don't mind sharing, what is your recommended price for hoodies (Gildan 18500)?

[@CassiyJohnson]

It all depends on how much you are paying for the hoodie, I'd recommend trying to get close to a $15 profit per hoodie. They can go for anywhere between $37 - $49 usually.

What do you mean when you say that to price the shirts at 24.99? All sizes? I'm not following, please help.

[@26agica]

hello Cassiy, another excellent video, I am just taking your profit calculator!!! but not so much to count, I have still no sales, I am waiting for your beginning class. When doing a new own design for bestselling products, can I use the same titles and tags as bestsellers or should I add always less competition keywords as you showing in the video using sales samurai?

[@CassiyJohnson]

Hi Agnes! I would recommend using a lot of the same titles and tags as the best sellers because you know they are working but then throw in a few more lower competition keywords as well if there are some that make sense for that niche!

[@26agica]

@@CassiyJohnson Fantastic! So I can copy bestseller tags but at the end using sales samurai I add some lower competition keyword from the same niche, correct?

[@CassiyJohnson]

@@26agica Yes that is a good strategy!

[@davidlarsson5709]

Okay, but how do you split test pricing? Make another listing with same product/design and just change pricing? Or do I have to test one strategy for X amount of time, then change prices on same listing and test again? Or is there a way to split test on etsy?

[@ranaabid2918]

Well done 👍

I’ve made shirts with front and back print and print full wants to charge $20+ for the shirt alone. So to include that along with profit, I’m looking at up to $40. What is the best t-shirt brand to use to help keep costs a little lower so I can remain competitive. Not even including shipping costs

[@CassiyJohnson]

I sell the Bella 3001 shirts on Printify personally but a lot of people like the Gildan 18000 or the Gildan 5000 because they are a little bit less but still nice. Here is a video I made on the costs between Prettify and Printful if you are curious about switching! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2HClmilmZV4jLc

[@workliferecognition7002]

Thx I changed the tees to the 5000 but even the largest shirts still came up to $35 or otherwise I wouldn’t have much of profit. Thinking I’m just better off with 1 sided tees till I can afford 2 sided tees
