hey what's up guys so with the fourth
quarter coming uh just about any and
every product type is gonna see
increased demand across the board
that means if we have not challenged
ourselves to
maybe sell an all-over print product
right that's a nice viable way
of standing out from the normal
print-on-demand products that we're used
to seeing and there's nothing wrong with
the normal print-on-demand products like
that's the the base of my recurring
monthly income but in this video i want
to sell some out of the box products
like the ones you see behind me here um
we got an all over print backpack a
hoodie a headband a mouse pad a gamer
mouse pad which i actually really like
that i use i could show you i could lift
my mouse pad up but i have one of those
like really big ones because it's
actually really nice anybody who's a
gamer um you know you typically use
really low mouse sensitivity so you need
a bigger mouse pad anyways in this video
we're doing some niche research coming
up with a design idea
hiring penji okay a professional design
team to execute the design for us and
then uploading them and creating the
products that's what i'm going to show
you let's get right to it
[Music]
real quick reminder i have some free
resources for you all linked in the
description i've got my free print on
demand giveaway i've got my free print
on demand eight day mini course
delivered via email and i've got a great
print on demand facebook group so i hope
you check all those out
all right so i
was inspired when i went to printful by
the way when you create new products in
printful the default view is new
products so it like right away it's
giving me all these great ideas and as
you saw in the thumbnail i was really
liking the idea of that big gaming
mousepad we know christmas everybody's
getting gifts for each other i think the
last two years in a row i got a mousepad
for christmas like i requested one uh
because it's always nice to just refresh
it if you're like me i'm always at my
computer i eat my meals not not dinner
but i eat like you know breakfast lunch
at the computer stuff like that so they
get dirty uh so hey mousepads i'm like
if i would get one maybe other people
will get one it seems like a good gift
and i typed gamergift into google trends
and just looked at the last five years
and i noticed that this trend overall is
growing or at least it appears to be
growing to me especially the big peaks
that occur
around christmas
so i'm all about it
so then i do what i do you know if you
caught my video yesterday i'll head on
over to the big ecommerce websites like
amazon type in the primary keywords do a
quick scroll just getting some ideas
i'll do the same over at etsy as well uh
etsy's another great marketplace to
datamine for ideas you don't need to
have some paid tool not that they don't
help but you don't have to have them you
know you can just go and do it you roll
up your sleeves and do it the
old-fashioned way
i can even go over to redbubble and also
see what designs what design styles are
trending over there all right
ultimately
i decided you know i i at a minimum i'm
using this as my inspiration i've got
the printful like all over print large
gaming mousepad that's the inspiration
uh there's also some cool products they
had the um like airpod like apple airpod
uh that's what they're called right i
don't use apple products but
i'm an apple hater uh habitual one uh
but anyways yeah they have the airpod
cases that you can customize uh all over
print backpacks headbands i'm thinking
along the lines of like maybe we can
market all of these to like the same
um
the same what is it like demographic
like
almost like the gamer like a young gamer
uh is the the target audience right so
they may have some of the same like kind
of demographic characteristics they they
would be a computer gamer uh they maybe
have some air pods that they listen to
when they're going to school they got
the backpack and you know hey some of
them have long hair right
not the stereotype but i mean hey i'm a
gamer myself so i should be allowed to
speak to what i've seen over the years
and a lot of them do have long hair for
whatever reason and that's okay
so maybe the gamer headband keep your
hair out of your face while you're
gaming i like it
now we have kind of a niche uh and my
design idea of course the hoodie oh man
i almost forgot the gamers and their
hoodies of course gotta have that all
right we're good all i think they're all
all over prince actually one of the
products ends up not being all over
print but i'll show you that when we get
there so i am again going to reach out
to penji the thing is when you join
penji you actually can put in as many
requests design requests as you want so
it would benefit you to use it
pretty much regularly right
typically they're turned around in 24
hours or less i have another video that
i did with penji i'll link to it in the
description where you can see the exact
steps for creating a request but it
takes minutes you know what i mean it's
taking less than five minutes to create
a request if it takes longer to create a
request than it would for you to create
the design something there would be a
problem so obviously they made it very
quick very easy simple to create the
design requests i created two with two
different design ideas
the first design idea i came up with was
thinking along the lines of like retro
gaming all right and i guess you know
now that i'm thinking about it computer
gamers probably don't care that much
about old school nintendo but this is
why i reserve the rights to come up with
multiple design ideas and what's cool is
penji actually
delivered a couple different variations
of this design so i'll show you the
outcome in just a second
also i was thinking like hey board games
right a lot of people who play computer
games
or console games also play board games
the 20-sided dice
sells like all the time really well
i don't know how many board games use
20-sided dice but i know there's at
least one that's really popular so
anything 20-sided dice i feel like has
the potential to make sales just be
really careful with keywords obviously
you don't want to infringe on any
intellectual property
all right so the designs
that i found in my penji delivery box uh
shortly after creating the the design
requests
look like this so this is the first one
here
we've got the
20-sided dice
and i mean i'm really liking it they
delivered two different versions one
that's kind of light foreground the
other dark foreground so that's i mean
this is the one that if i had to pick is
going to make the most sales
we just know that there's a lot of
demand here and here we have the second
delivery they actually uh broke it down
and did three different kind of gaming
style controllers and they're really
minimalist they don't have any branding
or anything like that on them but
obviously if you're a gamer um you will
recognize like oh yeah these look like
video game controllers and i guess
depending on like your age um what
decade you were born you probably would
want a different um one of these three
designs since they kind of look to me
like they are speaking to different uh
age groups
all right so let's jump on over to
printful let me show you how i utilized
these designs to create products
so i'm here in printful i did a search
for mouse pad and i realized they
actually have like a square mouse pad uh
that's 18 by 16 inches and then they
have the gaming mouse pad which is 36 by
18 inches and i went ahead and i
selected the gaming mouse pad now when
you go to design and you add your uh
designs
what you can do number one like i mean
my design here is actually big enough
that it fills the whole um space but i
would recommend actually like i chose
the light foreground design so i'm gonna
go to background fill then i'm gonna
click you know black you know but if i
want to i could go red i could do
whatever uh i see fit you know whatever
i think looks good um you know you have
flexibility here but i typically like to
keep it simple with the black mouse pads
i think that's probably what's gonna be
most popular
also
just so you know with this design like
we paid for a professional designer to
make a tileable uh repeating pattern
design so i can make this smaller
okay and then i can click where it says
pattern
and i can click block and then look it
just duplicates it and because the
graphic designer is a professional they
know what they're doing it looks
beautiful here
with a tiled um
you know mousepad design and then you
can click mockup view and actually see
what the final outcome is going to end
up looking like so you've got mock-ups
here you can use these in like an etsy
shop i mean do you guys see these
mock-ups here behind me these look
really good um this would look great as
like a primary thumbnail for etsy
um
you know with amazon you need the white
background so definitely with amazon
you're a little limited but that's okay
um this would be the gaming mouse pad i
think gamers typically recognize the
like really wide like my my mouse pad
right now is literally like my hand's
like outside the screen trying to show
you but it's like very wide it's
probably 36 inches as well
um
but this is what we're aiming for guys i
mean this is it and printful's got some
great mock-ups in here for the mousepad
specifically so unfortunately my vision
for the airpods is not gonna come true
oh by the way they have a really uh nice
base price they're only ten dollars for
printful to fulfill these so this is
something that you should consider just
adding a couple to your shops for the
fourth quarter see what happens
especially if you have some best-selling
designs but all over print designs are
not optimized for the airpods
unfortunately the backpacks i think have
big potential um what kid doesn't need a
new backpack pretty much all the time
too i always had a beat up backpack i
probably need one right now as an adult
too i have the same backpack that i
always travel with and it's it's seen
better days uh so i added the pattern
but you'll notice a white pattern on the
white background does not show so i'm
gonna click background fill in printful
and then you know whatever color we
think is going to look best we can go
ahead and do that also again you can
make the pattern a little bit smaller i
don't know how small i want to make it i
still want the controller and the you
know the actual design to be able to be
seen
um we can go ahead and have it pattern
again like i just showed you earlier
with the mouse pad uh and then you know
kind of take liberty with how you want
to adjust this you can add the pattern
to the top panel the bottom panel the
inside pocket but you don't have to i
mean the main one i would focus on is
the front and pocket because that's the
main part that people are going to see
then you can go ahead and click a
mock-up view
and just give it a second and then boom
printful's already out here creating
beautiful mock-ups of our new all-over
print gamer backpack all right and let's
check out the headband now so with the
headband i'd be more willing to
potentially like
make the pattern uh small you know by
just
zooming uh pinching it down and then
again just using the pattern
functionality in printful i think it'll
show a little bit better with the
headband as opposed to the backpack you
know because again we're always
controlling to make that primary
thumbnail as good as possible so i think
this will look great and again you can
always check the mock-up view as well
it'll generate these mockups and give us
you know plenty to work with in terms of
like i mean you know i always think etsy
where we can customize the thumbnails
now printful's all over print hoodies
are pricey but not that many people do
all over print and not that many people
do it well but i do have to just warn
you that it is gonna be tough to book a
profit when you are doing uh all over
print in printful specifically uh just
because you know this i think this had a
base cost of like 42 dollars maybe um so
again doing the same thing adding the
pattern
having it tile for us you're going to
want to add it to the back as well the
right sleeve the less left sleeve pocket
hood no don't necessarily need to do it
in the inside label but understand that
all those can be customized as well
if you skip it then you know i'll show
you what it actually is going to look
like here in a second with the mock-up
view unlike the backpack though yeah
it's definitely going to be more
important to
add the pattern multiple times to each
panel of the hoodie here in printful but
guys that was a bunch of good all-over
print products
short video but
i hopefully you feel comfortable that i
gave you the steps uh the big thing is
to separate yourself you're gonna have
to bridge the gap between designs that
everybody knows how to make
and
the pattern designs right that's why i
hired pengy
to create these pattern designs for me
and again when you work with pengy
you're getting
unlimited design requests so again
you're going to benefit if you use them
and right now as we are one month away
from the fourth quarter sales rush to
beginning it's probably the best time to
consider
hiring a professional designer i did the
previous video as well where we did a
halloween design like matching designs
for a human and their
pet dog i'll link to that in the
description so check that out guys but
