﻿Shoes—they reside at the bottom of our outfits, and at the top of the fashion industry.
Should you add shoes to your own store or start a shoe brand? Oh, absolutely. You can
follow the example of countless brands that already sell shoes through Printful and gain
thousands of dollars in profit. I’m not just here to encourage you to go after your dream
of selling shoes online, I’ll also tell you about one of the easiest and safest ways to do it.
So, how can you start a shoe business? The good old way of selling products through
brick-and-mortar stores is definitely a great place to start if you have money to invest
and knowledge on what steps you need to take to make your business succeed. But,
if ordering hundreds of products and renting a space is out of the question, for now, there’s
a much more suitable option that doesn’t require a big upfront investment—print-on-demand.
Print-on-demand (or POD for short) is an order fulfillment method where products are created only
when an order is made. And in Printful’s case—without order minimums. So a POD company
takes care of the fulfillment and shipping process for your store, while you work on creating product
designs and attracting new customers. With Printful the sky is the limit and you’re
able to sell your shoes on the top ecommerce platforms and marketplaces all over the world
from the comfort of your home. If you see a high demand for your product you can be sure
that we will take care of the fulfillment process, no matter how many orders you get. If that sounds
good to you and you’re wondering how to get started with Printful, keep watching!
If you’re not Printful customer yet, the registration process is
easy. Make sure to register your account so you can start designing your own shoes. Once
you’ve created your account, you’ll be able to start designing your shoes right away
and connect Printful to your online store. To guide you through the process of starting your
own shoe store we’ve prepared plenty of thorough tutorials on the topic of setting up your store,
designing products, and tackling shipping profiles, product pricing, and billing. If
you want a detailed walk-through on how to get start your own print-on-demand business,
take a look at our video course. I’ve left a link to it in the description of this video.
If you’ve got any burning questions about selling custom shoes,
let me know in the comments, and I’ll do my best to help you!
Currently we offer four different styles of shoes that you can design
and sell on your online store. To create a design, you can use any design
software, or you can do that in Printful's free Design Maker. With the Design Maker,
you can choose from over 50 collections of clipart elements, more than 30 text fonts, and millions of
stock images, vectors, and patterns. You can combine all of these parts to create
high-quality designs, just like these. Once a customer buys your product,
we fulfill it, pack it and ship it. As Printful is a white label company, our name
doesn’t show up on the product or packaging. That means you can personalize both the shoes
and their box, by adding your own logo. Once you’ve created your shoes and added them
to your store, you have to get people to buy them. Here are some selling points
that’ll help you market your footwear. Each pair of shoes is only made once someone
purchases them, which means you don’t keep a stock of unsold products that could end up
in a landfill before ever being worn. That is a huge concern in this day and age, especially for
younger generations who really care about the sustainability of brands they buy from.
The second thing is that you also produce one-of-a-kind shoe designs. Who wouldn’t want
to have high-quality shoes with a unique design? It’s an attractive feature to people who love
fashion and the longevity of their accessories. By buying from your store they’ll have a trusty pair
of shoes that will look like no other. Are you already selling custom shoes? If so,
please share your experience with me. I’m really curious to hear how it’s going for you! Well, that
is all for today! Good luck with building your own shoe store, and see you in the next video!
