what's up guys in today's video we're
gonna take a look at redbubble stickers
and specifically sticker packs uh if you
guys watch my redbubble shop reviews
that i do every other weekend on
saturdays and i review viewers redbubble
shops that you guys can submit to me on
facebook
a lot of the things that i see people
succeeding with lately have been sticker
packs now we know stickers do really
well on redbubble and we'll actually
touch on why i think that may be
in this video but or at least one of the
reasons
but
sticker packs are like giving people
more bang for their buck like you can
spend ten dollars on one sticker or you
can spend ten dollars on i don't know
six seven stickers on the same sheet and
i think it's under utilized by a lot of
red redbubble sellers so in this video i
did a test order of
every kind of redbubble sticker that
they offer and i'm going to show you how
i designed them
and what the finished result ended up
looking like so why don't we get started
[Music]
quick reminder take advantage of the
free weekly print on demand giveaway you
can find a link at the top of the
description two winners are gonna be
randomly selected and announced this
sunday also down there i've got an eight
day print on demand mini course that you
should take advantage of completely free
i'll send you one lesson a day via email
and i've got a great print on demand
facebook group that's also where you can
submit your redbubble shop to me for
review and i'll put a link to that in
the description to the the thread all
right so you guys are probably familiar
with redbubble it's a large print on
demand marketplace it serves a worldwide
audience which is really cool because
you can go sign up for redbubble right
now in a couple seconds like it's
there's no application process or
anything
it's free so you sign up it's free takes
a couple seconds takes maybe one minute
and then you can list a product for sale
that will immediately be available for
purchase to a worldwide audience that is
currently the world we live in today
it's crazy and i love it you know what i
mean uh redbubble is cool too because
you'll know when you sold it to somebody
that's international because you'll see
it you'll see what a currency unit they
paid in so just keep an email keep an
eye on your email inbox for the sale
notifications and check you know what um
currency they paid in pretty cool uh i
just got an email today from redbubble
where they are pushing
deals
on stickers uh so essentially they're
sending me this email not as a seller on
redbubble they're sending this email to
me as a buyer
and they're just trying to entice me to
purchase other artists
stickers so we should take a hint if
redbubble's pushing customers to buy
stickers on their marketplace hey maybe
as sellers we should be selling stickers
of course
redbubble's probably the top destination
for sticker sales online uh second
probably to amazon if i had to guess
because amazon's just a beast uh before
we get too deep in here i wanted to give
you a quick upload tip and this is why i
think redbubble stickers do so well in
it well in addition to the fact that
they're sending emails out specifically
for
increasing sticker sales
when you're uploading products to
redbubble
at the bottom of the page after you've
already uploaded your design and you
know framed it on all the products and
enabled and disabled products and
whatnot there is a drop down where you
can set the default product
for this design to be displayed on
and stickers are never a bad choice
unless it is i mean you know i don't
want to say it's never a bad choice
there are certainly some designs that
maybe won't look as good on stickers but
if you have a design that will look good
on stickers or that is intended to be
sold on a sticker
definitely don't forget to set that
default mock-up it makes a big
difference and i will show you that when
you go looking at stickers on redbubble
you'll notice that the way that they
frame the primary thumbnail for
stickers looks really good the way that
they frame primary thumbnails for all of
the you know 70 80 90 i don't even know
anymore
products that are available for sale
with your designs on them on redbubble
they do not all look good
they certainly don't all look good like
if you want to laugh go look at like
greeting cards thumbnails they look
absolutely awful or the acrylic blocks i
mean there's a bunch that don't look
good
so stickers are definitely a great
option the better that they are framed
in search results the higher the
likelihood of getting clicked you have
to get clicked before you get purchased
you guys already know that so
that's a quick tip all right as far as
me designing stickers for this test i
jumped on over to
vexels i love vexels they have
professional graphic designers on their
staff and they make it super easy for me
to just find good looking designs rather
than spend spending hours doing them
myself so i found a funny dog quotes set
and uh i went down the dog route because
i ended up just giving the stickers to
marielle my girlfriend who runs a uh
like a dog company dog food um really
dog treats uh right now so she's getting
on amazon as we speak and i'm sure i'll
have her on the channel to like tell you
her success story at some point in the
future
so i gave her the stickers though
because she's right now like doing
manual fulfillment and stuff via etsy so
the first test i took the designs i kind
of framed them in um a square
actually i don't think i had to did i no
i think i just doubled them so i made a
square canvas and then i doubled the
eight designs so that now i have 16 of
the designs
and so for my first test um i just did
exactly as they as they came
so you'll notice like it may seem like
this may not print well because some of
them are really thin lines but if you
look at
how redbubble frames them after we
upload them uh redbubble will add
a white stroke automatically to the
outside but it ultimately will also
depend on the the finish that the
customer selects when they purchase um
these stickers but what's cool is like
you can see here that the stickers are
not bleeding into each other they're
spaced out enough where uh this is truly
going to be if a customer purchases you
know 16 stickers in one pack so it's not
not a bad deal i would say
all right test number two i applied a
stroke myself so i went into photoshop
right click
blending options
stroke and then probably added like a
four pixel white uh stroke
now when i upload this to i also change
the background color to red so that you
could actually see the stroke because if
i have it transparent it wouldn't be too
obvious
then when i upload it to redbubble
you'll notice that redbubble still
applies the same stroke so they're not
able to detect that i had added my own
so then redbubble adds theirs to mine
and it gets really thick and the
stickers start to look like they bleed
into each other so
it doesn't look that great um as far as
testing goes i don't think that's great
but i still ordered a sample of that too
and you'll see how that came out
test number three i just set the whole
background to white so if i'm doing a
sticker pack but i upload an image where
instead of it containing kind of
multiple little individual
designs spaced out enough to be
individual stickers it's just one flat
you know white background and as you can
see here it is what we probably expected
it to look like but i have an
interesting thing to show you on how
that turned out in the final product
next let's take a look at how the
sticker finish affects the final product
so here is glossy
and if i had to pick one i think this
probably is probably the most popular i
think that's why redbubble defaults it
as the primary option uh next is matt
and matt vs glossy well glossy is going
to be glossy it's going to shine a
little bit more
matte will not
i think they cost the same right
okay glossy is one penny less if anybody
was wondering it does actually affect
the price matt is one cent more who
knows how they calculated that it's
going to cost a penny more but okay
and then transparent
looks like this you'll notice that
in my design
where there is a white
background
which i guess i probably magic wanded
the background off and then didn't grab
the stuff in the middle so it definitely
shows through
so that's one thing worth noting with
the transparent designs and since we
have no control over
redbubble giving the customer an option
between the glossy the matte and the
transparent it's something we should
just take into account with every design
we upload that is intended to be
optimized for stickers
let's see how these sample orders turned
out so the first
sample i ordered was an extra large
glossy sticker the extra large is 14
inches by 13.7 inches it is quite large
i will show you how that arrived at the
house because i did not expect it to
arrive the way it did
number two was a large sticker 8.5 by
8.3 inches
matte finish
number three was a medium size 5.5 by
5.5 inches sticker and it is transparent
and number four
small and glossy okay
now when you build your own stickers or
you buy your own stickers i should
actually say when you buy your own even
if i have them priced up with my markup
redbubble will automatically discount
them for me so that's why you see the
prices have kind of dropped off
significantly
and it looks like i probably only had to
spend
roughly 30 on this order even though if
i had waited for redbubble to run one of
their discounts maybe i could have
locked in no for sure i could have
locked in more savings because
i had done a video in the past where i
talked about how i was selling stickers
on etsy before like printful or printify
had stickers available so i was drop
shipping them from redbubble from my own
account to the etsy customer and i did i
was making a lot of sales in the fourth
quarter when redbubble was running sales
to try to get people on their platform
on the fourth quarter and i was locking
in like big savings so it was a really
nice um that was probably like 20
20 20 maybe maybe 2019 i don't remember
exactly
all right reviewing them so here we go
and i was going to do a video but
you see that tube on the left-hand side
this is basically why i didn't attempt
to do a video because i was filming it
myself and i couldn't show the rolled up
extra large stickers that came in that
tube which maybe looks small but i'll
show you for comparison in a picture
later that it's not small it's um
probably like a foot and a half long
uh so i wouldn't have been able to like
hold the sticker and film at the same
time so we're gonna do photos
so the order came in three different um
it came in two different shipments and
three different
uh
like delivery meth i don't know i don't
know what to call them packages i guess
because one's a tube and two are the red
things okay uh the first one though this
is the sample number one uh it is the
extra large 14 inch by 13.7 it comes
rolled up which was kind of annoying and
you can even see there that some of the
stickers are like
automatically peeling out because of the
fact that it was rolled which is weird
but you can also see that like
these extra large sticker sheets can
hold
a ton of stickers depending on how you
size your designs so i sized mine to
only hold 16 and they are quite large
this is sample number two and again i
have a better photo for reference later
to see how they kind of stack up next to
each other but we just went from 14 by
basically 14 by 14 inches to eight and a
half by eight and a half inches so even
though it may look kind of the same uh
there was a significant drop off there i
also sample ordered test design number
two which is when i applied a stroke
and then redbubble applied a stroke so
you'll notice if you kind of squint
that the stickers are bleeding into each
other and if i wanted to pull these out
i would have like each row would just be
one long sticker okay so that's not the
optimal way to do it you don't want to
apply your own stroke you just want to
let redbubble do it
because their their software figures it
out
number three and this is the medium five
and a half by five and a half and uh
everything turned out well great i guess
but this is also where i did a sample
order of the solid background so i have
16 sticker designs in one actual sticker
so someone could you know manually cut
them into individual stickers which is
what i'm sure marielle will do and then
probably send them to her you know
customers as little freebies but uh
if you do a solid background color and
actually earlier i was like you'll be
surprised at how it turned out but then
i went and double checked and realized i
was incorrect and i was mistaking it for
a different one and it did in fact come
as one solid background color so if you
upload
a sticker pack with one solid background
color you're going to sell one sticker
marketed as a sticker pack which is not
uh optimal
also i don't think you can even say
sticker pack on redbubble because they
don't like you mentioning the product
type because they automatically append
the product type to the end of your
title so
that is one little drawback there but of
course you know don't limit yourself
just to redbubble with your stickers you
should be posting them to amazon etsy
ebay anywhere else shopify if you're on
there
pretty much anywhere that you may find
customers also remember like
google
is where most people do their searching
you want to be indexed in as many places
as possible you want to dominate the
whole first page of search results and
the best way to do that is to just get
your stuff out there as many places as
possible right you knew that but just a
reminder
and then here is the uh
small 3.1 by 3 inch
and it looks like i ordered the one
where i had applied the extra stroke so
as a result you see that it is bleeding
together as one sticker
also um actually i don't even know if
that's true i should go back and check
because it might also just be that like
they're just so small that they're gonna
bleed together anyways
um definitely i would say the small
sizing is not optimal
for sticker packs as you can see here so
no surprise to anybody and if you want
to see the relative size of all of them
this photo pretty much does it justice
um the the one that came in the tube the
extra large is absolutely massive uh
relative to the other ones and it
doesn't cost us anything and i don't
think we really have to tweak anything
to account for the fact that they are
available on extra large large and
medium
but the smalls are not optimal and
hopefully people that purchase our
sticker packs won't purchase them on
these smalls because it's just not gonna
look good in the um
and you know when they're shopping
our listing and they switch from extra
large to large or large to medium
redbubble's mock-ups also change so when
you look at an extra large you see it on
like a refrigerator a refrigerator and i
think when you go to like a large it
goes to maybe um the back of a laptop
and when you go from a large to a medium
i think it goes to like a water bottle
okay so and then i don't even remember
what the extra the small goes to but
they do a good job of like showing
people what the final product is going
to look like before it exists so that's
one thing you know that redbubble's
definitely doing well in addition to
framing these uh designs for stickers um
pretty well in search results
