all right redbubble shop reviews shop
number one galati designs i do like your
branding there with the profile picture
in the background there it looks really
nice says expressions
of feelings through new fashion very
cool joined in july 2020 1085 designs
uh actually the featured designs up here
uh well the name of the collection
sayings english is a little bit weird
like since the collection title is
public facing you may want to just kind
of keep that in mind when you name your
collection but i will say the minimalist
design style and the fact that you have
the dark foreground optimized for the
light background it does stand out i do
like that um again it's something you
don't see all the time so hey anything
you can do to break from the norm
and when your customer is searching
redbubble and looking through results if
if you're different because you're
optimized for white backgrounds and nine
out of ten others are optimized for
black i already like that i think that's
cool
these are some expensive pillows though
57 pillows
uh
i guess it's a floor pillow so these are
probably the big ones right yeah three
foot by three foot got it but
it's like i don't know if red bubble did
a good job framing how i guess they put
a coffee mug in there because yeah it's
hard to tell on a relative basis how big
these pillows really are um but there
must be huge
alright so what do you got going on you
got a lot of these floor pillows um
i don't know i mean honestly i'm just
taking a quick glance and i'm thinking
this isn't a bad idea like
the fact that it's on on the floor
pillows i mean we know that redbubble's
most popular products are t-shirts and
stickers but i will say that just
scrolling through your shop i like that
it's a little bit different when you
have the you know the basic like like
behind me afk away from keyboard right
it's just simple text right but you got
some big bold and then you've got the
smaller text underneath and it's an easy
design style like you could crank out
hundreds of designs very easily just
like that
it's minimalist but it stands out you
know what i mean it's executed in a way
that i think actually works pretty well
uh then you have a lot of like all over
print design pillows
i wish i say this all the time i wish it
was like amazon and we had a bsr to go
off of so we could get an idea of if
you're making sales or not i do think
you know this art is really nice but
i just don't know how many people go to
redbubble
and spend 60 on a floor pillow
when they could probably get one at like
a local you know store for probably like
25 bucks you know what i mean and unless
they came and looked for a specific
design but then they also have to like
your design enough um but overall i mean
this is an interesting like niche shop
i'm sure the designs are available on
other products as well but
uh you're clearly leading with the uh
the floor pillows okay and there we go
and you have the inverse
of the design style that i was
mentioning earlier where you have it
also flipped uh black black background
white foreground so i do like that i
like your approach i wish i knew like
how your sales are going
all right shop number two is i heart law
law and from the united kingdom 107
designs
uh your branding is is consistent but
not quite as good as the shop we just
checked out that shop before was pretty
well executed i will say but
all right let's check out i heart la la
so you got some pillows yourself but you
got the normal size pillows 18
7 cents you could always revisit your
pricing drop the pillow price to 17.99
simple like pricing psychology hack
there
um pretty okay kind of random you're
doing like a alphabet letters of the
alphabet
uh and you've got like dinosaurs on them
i wonder if you made these yourself if
you did that's pretty cool i like the
idea i just don't know like
is this you know from my first hand
experience i'm not saying that this
isn't something that people would come
and look for but is it you know what i
mean do they come to redbubble and they
type in like
a letter of the alphabet and then also
how do you
from an seo perspective how do you train
the algorithm to understand that you're
selling like pictures of letters
and then also like it's letter plus the
niche you're doing is letter plus
dinosaur or like letter plus animal you
know like m plus
stegosaurus right
you know l plus giraffe like i don't
know like is this something that works
i'm not really sure uh you might want to
increase the price of your stickers by
the way like it seems like they're
really low so even if you lock in a sale
you're gonna make you know pennies it's
not really worth your time unless you
got like a serious best seller
um
actually i was just thinking back like
my probably best-selling product on
redbubble
was a letter of the alphabet but here's
the thing i knew how to market it
i don't know i don't want to say
anything else but um
that that was yeah so i guess letters
can work but it wasn't that i had sold a
letter it was again just the keywords
that i associated with my listing that
ultimately led to
you know ranking really really high and
making a lot of sales
all right so let's move on to the shop
number three creative little o joined in
march 2021 367 designs that is a pretty
cool
um like kind of dragon floating through
the sky or something oh it's a little o
riding the dragon and you got consistent
branding as well you guys are killing it
with the branding actually this is
really nice
uh featured collection circle magic all
right so some
circles i guess with artsy i don't know
i don't know what to call it like you
got a kaleidoscope style uh you got a
whale in a circle you got an o with like
clouds you've got kind of an o with a
butterfly so
interesting i would mention like when
you do your titles you may want to use
um
like uppercase in the first letters what
is it called capitalized case is that
what it's called
let me see yeah it is called it's called
capitalized case so when you just upper
case the first letter in a title or
something it just because it's weird to
see it
without the first letter being
capitalized also probably increase the
pricing of your stickers
you can charge you know 1.99 easily for
a sticker you know what i mean if not
2.99 so i would definitely go in and uh
fix your prices uh your collections they
do look really cool anime inspired
circle magic illustration cats animals
etc
uh you do have some nice looking
stickers though for real i would just
revisit your pricing i think you can
definitely get a little bit more money
out of them than than just this
uh what else you got going on so
stickers t-shirts stickers t-shirts from
a product framing perspective i think
you obviously figured out that these are
the two that you're going to want to
prioritize we know that they are the
best sellers on redbubble
um generally speaking i mean your
graphics do look really nice i'm
wondering like when i see shops like
this where the design style is just all
over the place and really inconsistent i
wonder
like are you designing these yourself or
you know what i mean are you going
somewhere and like just kind of
downloading graphics you know google
images i know a lot of people do that
and you're not supposed to do that
um
and then just re-uploading them
so i don't know
uh but you have a very wide variety
of different graphics and these by the
way the patterns i mean you might as
well just skip uploading the patterns i
highly doubt anybody comes to redbubble
and types in
blueberry pattern right somebody come to
redbubble and type in blueberry pattern
and then of all things like they're just
gonna buy it on a sticker like if you're
gonna upload a pattern
i would intentionally go and pick the
product that you want it displayed on
and pick something like a
like a comforter right because at least
if you sell one comforter
the time it took you to upload that that
design is absolutely worth it because
you make a huge royalty on the
comforters so
anyways
shop number four
have we seen this one before that uh
that banner does look familiar but if
not let's go so tropic prints
february 2021 112
designs you've got the ruth bader
ginsburg i descent that was trending
recently so looks like you're still
active in here you got the 1973 roe v
wade
interesting that you're uploading
recently yet you joined in february 2021
and only have 112 designs maybe you're
very selective with your uploads maybe
you've been deleting some designs i
don't know
it looks like you got the ukraine stuff
pro-choice roe v wade pool enthusiasts
pool i was thinking like actually
swimming pool but you got the actual
game of pool
pretty cool all right and your design
styles by the way
look more consistent than that shop we
just saw
uh and i do when i see that i'm like
okay then you might be making original
designs here which is good
um
yeah you got some funny designs in here
i'll say that uh without actually
reading what some of them say because
i don't know the youtube algorithm i
don't know if it gets like some of the
the humor but you do have some funny
designs here uh anyways i like your
design style i mean at a minimum good
contrast good font selection um when i
say contrast too it's color contrast
it's also things like
if you have multiple pieces of text in a
design some of the text can be really
big and some of the text on a relative
basis can be smaller right it's all
about controlling
uh where people's eyes go when they
first see the design and then if they
like it enough they go from the big text
to the smaller text
using good color contrast against a
specific background color like i do
highly recommend
generally speaking unless you're like
really good at what you do as far as
design goes um just optimize for like
black t-shirts or wait if you want to
inverse that optimize for white or
optimize for one color like if it's this
brown you know kind of tan color um
optimize for just that you know but be
selective and just keep it keep it
simple right it's it's a lot harder to
make mistakes when you're consistent
overall though i think you're doing a
great job with this shop i think you
should keep uploading uh and i hope
you're uploading to other platforms as
well
all right shop number five is
what is this
mounir dsg is the the url and this says
m store store munir okay got it uh looks
like maybe
french i don't know what language this
is to english
works uberese
means works what language french okay it
was french uh but you only have eight
uploads so this can be a short and sweet
review
yeah you should probably just get back
into uploading on redbubble when you do
i would definitely
not use white text against a
white
shirt because then you can't read the
text so you got some improvements to
make um
yeah okay here we go shop number six
low carb lee from brisbane australia 267
designs
i like this you got a kind of an
introduction
of who you are and like as the owner of
the shop in your banner that looks
really nice and you got a nice high
resolution looks crisp it looks
professional and a nice little avatar
there as well a featured collection says
geeks we love
geek ghosties you've got like a sticker
pack there i like that maybe increase
your pricing um even at a dollar 88 it's
like yeah if you're getting a sticker
pack you know why not charge and i know
you can't do it on a per product basis
but why not charge you know
299 minimum it looks like this actually
is going to increase the price to 375.
uh okay it advertises as 188 when you
buy 10 plus got it so redbubble's just
kind of pulling a a little trick there
on us that's okay
um not all geeks are gamers prickly
um one thing i would say too with uh
just just being nitpicky here but
i think you could orient this the
graphics on this design a little bit
more vertical towards the top so it's
not floating in the middle of the shirt
i know you still are on a vertical basis
like more towards the top but i would go
even higher that's just one of those
things that you get a feel for over time
also different platforms uh print
differently like with merch by amazon
they used to have on the female shirts
it would render the designs like i think
lower and this they fixed this in the
past but like i remember i used to
like optimize my designs if it was for
females only in a different way just
based on the the vertical layout of
where they would print them on the
shirts um so fortunately they fixed that
but it's just something worth paying
attention to
and then on stickers like this you know
you your sticker is connected but i just
always
think to myself like if i'm doing a
design that's optimal for a sticker
like consider adding a stroke if or just
consider maybe anything that's going to
connect the design you know what i mean
instead of it being in pieces like you
had a sticker pack and this looks great
but if it's uh
you know like the design we just looked
at where it's text and then text and
then text
if it is a sticker i would just try to
you know make sure it's connected you'll
probably
protect yourself from returns and
whatnot by doing so
uh you got some interesting looking
designs here see something like this i
would save as a template i think this
looks really nice great color contrast
as well
and i think there's potential to take
something like this and just scale it
out
you know what i mean go
go to instagram or wherever people go
facebook i don't know
type in keto
memes right or just go to google images
type in keto memes
and then just literally keto meme like
title at the top in pink and then keto
meme uh explanation at the bottom right
and you can just scale this out and make
a whole
you know whatever you want to do like a
whole collection of keto designs on
redbubble maybe expand that into a keto
um themed etsy shop and it could even be
like a keto shopify website later on
down the line
you know who knows what's possible right
it doesn't hurt to try though and then
when you kind of think in one i'm not
saying by the way to only be in one
niche but i'm just saying that you know
if keto is your thing uh that's
certainly i like the way this design
looks and i think it has potential to be
scaled out so um you know it's just an
option right it's an option
i don't want to steer you one way or the
other but i do like that
uh it looks like you may have saved this
one as a template actually or is that
the same one from up here uh same one um
anyways yeah i mean from a design
perspective i think you're you're doing
a great job um you could probably skip
unless these are original i mean if this
is original then that's that's pretty
cool
otherwise though you know these like
kind of generic
designs
i just am thinking out loud here like
most
i'm pretty sure most people won't be
buying this like it's
you know what i mean what do people buy
right they come to redbubble and they
type in whatever the trend is right like
whatever's trending like uh pro row you
know what i mean if we go pro row
we're gonna see that a lot of sales are
taking place in this niche whereas like
an original you know watercolor or
marker or whatever however you did this
not trying to disrespect if it is your
original artwork by the way uh but i'm
just saying like you know are they gonna
buy this most likely not so you don't
even really need to take time uploading
it um something like this as well you
probably don't need to
spend time like danish meadow flowers
pattern
is anybody coming to red bubble to buy
that i don't think so and time is money
so it really ultimately becomes this
game of how is your like if your end
goal is to make as much money as
possible
and selling on redbubble is one of the
vehicles you want to utilize to get
there how is your time best spent in
this vacuum to maximize profits is it
from uploading like flowers flower
patterns and what looks to be like
original artwork or is it from just like
going to the trends
and jumping into the trends and applying
different design styles and whatnot you
know like
i would lean towards just following the
trends okay you got more keto queen
stuff yeah so if you like the keto niche
i mean i like this design style like the
color scheme i think you're on to
something here the keto sticker packs um
i think you could expand these out too
and like i said we know you can expand
off of redbubble and certainly do
um
i'm not trying to knock redbubble in
this case but i'm just saying like you
could certainly do better by just i
don't know if you're not on redbubble
too i mean or if you're not in these
other places but for sure like you know
upload them to redbubble and then move
them to etsy move them to amazon you can
create a branded amazon store if you
want to um shopify might be in the
future um ebay why not ebay too i sell
print on demand on ebay
as well so that's always on the table
and that's one of those accounts kind of
similar to merch by amazon where as you
continue to make sales they will let you
list more products for sale over time so
it's one of those things you want to
start sooner than later all right i
