Learning From the Teespring Platform

Teespring.com sell various styles of tees, but this isn’t just any retailer, this is a tee manufacturer that has come up with a brilliant marketing plan that is a win-win for  everyone involved. Teespring lets you crowdfund quality custom apparel. It’s a simple as that.

There is no upfront costs, there is no risk and there is no hassle. So how exactly does it work? You design and sell custom apparel online by designing your product. Then you sell your product and that pays for the production of your product. Teespring then ships directly to your buyers. That means you don’t have to guess how many shirts you are going to need and you don’t have to spend your time chasing after cash. 

You start by launching your campaign. You use the online designer they provide to create your perfect tee or you can upload your design. There’s over 10,000 pieces of clip art in their library. Next, you set your sales goal. So, how many shirts do you plan to sell? This is the minimum you need for the shirts to be printed. Add a description and title explaining your campaign and then start sharing the word. Use Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and other social media outlets to spread your message and tell the world about your campaign. 

If you reach your goal Teespring prints your shirts. They take care of all the printing and the shipping and you get paid by them for the profits. This is an excellent way to raise money for a project, a charity, a memorial, or any other reason you want to raise funds.

For example, a couple wanted to adopt and so they launched a campaign on Teespring with shirts that said “Love makes a Family.” This was how they planned to raise the money for the cost of the adoption. They then promoted their crowdfunding campaign through their blog and social media. After meeting their goal in just 12 hours, they launched a second campaign. 

You can see how it can be a quick and easy way to generate funds. With so many causes looking to raise money, it’s easy for you to become a blur in the mix, but with Teespring you can offer a product that interests people and that they want to buy and that makes raising money that much easier than the traditional methods. Why not give it a try yourself?
