hey what's up guys happy saturday today
we are going to be doing some more etsy
print on demand shop reviews it's
episode 34
and i don't know if this is a record or
what but we are reviewing crazy dog
t-shirts with over
000
yes 150 000 that is absurd that's an
incredible amount of sales if you made a
dollar profit per sale you're still
sitting on 150k plus profit i'm sure
they make more than that so we're gonna
review crazy dog shirts 150 000 plus
sales on etsy lifetime five-star average
review i haven't looked too hard ahead
of time so we're going to be kind of
learning on the fly uh you know
sometimes we go and we do some shop
reviews where we're looking to critique
in this case i think we're all looking
to learn from one of the best out there
doing it so i'm excited let's get
started
[Music]

down there i've got an eight day print
on demand mini course completely free
it's going to walk you through how to
start your etsy shop integrate it with a
print on demand production company and
get started selling print on demand
products on etsy it's completely free
and i've got a great print on demand
facebook community if you guys aren't in
there yet i'd love to have you all right
let's check out this etsy shop all right
here we are at crazy dog shirts all of
course link to it in the description in
case you want to check it out yourself
so the first thing i noticed they have a
big banner and they've got the slider
functionality enabled they're showing
off multiple products they got some
mitts some oven mitts here
what did it say it said all all orders
are shipped the next business day so
basically offering very quick shipping
buy three shirts get two free just add
five shirts to your cart and enter code
to free at checkout so hey another
strong incentive to increase the average
order value uh and if people don't
include that code at checkout they're
not gonna get there too free so another
way of
you know increasing the average order
value because they may they may miss
that
screen printed by hand in rochester new
york
try our hilarious and buttery soft socks
so they're promoting socks specifically
maybe that's like a best seller of
theirs or maybe they have a large profit
margin baked into the socks
but anyways yeah so we have just been
studying their slider and check out how
they lay it out too photo big text with
call to action
right i mean we should be studying this
taking notes uh this is a shop that you
know has achieved you know basically the
pinnacle of success on etsy
uh what do they got going on with their
announcement here at crazy dog shirts we
specialize in funny customizable shirts
in different colors and styles printed
on ultra soft shirts making these super
soft comfortable and breathable 100 of
the designs that crazy dog t-shirts
sells are created and printed in-house
we have partnerships for more exclusive
designs wow
so hey props to them they've also got
exclusive partnerships to offer things
that maybe other people don't offer
also i want to just point out too like
you know how i always talk about the
importance of good thumbnails well check
this out i mean this socks thumbnail
is popping off the screen even relative
to their
own other thumbnails like the socks
thumbnail here
is really like and that's a featured
item ahead of valentine's day by the way
do you think it's coincidence that one
of the top etsy shops
ahead of valentine's day uh has a
featured items list of all valentine's
day shirts like they know exactly what
they're doing so guys i mean what's the
difference between them and you well
i don't know but you know it's also one
of the things is either you take this
initiative and either you both do or you
know they do and you don't right so like
try to
lessen the gap between
the best and you as you aspire to be the
best i'm assuming you don't own this
shop if you do though definitely hit me
up um
anyways let's check out some of their
design styles you know i'm not like a
huge fan of this design style because
it's red on red but at the same time
they have probably a ton of eyeballs on
their shirts
just given how successful they are on
the platform so i mean i'm sure that
they don't have to worry as much about
standing out in search results because
yeah i'm sure it's certainly you
definitely stand out in search results
when you see 150 000 uh sales and you
know however many reviews they have like
let's do a quick um test on this here
just to see
what their shirts actually look like in
um
in search results
so i want to see their shirt plus i want
to see their competition
yeah so check this out right we this is
good to do by the way every now and then
put yourself in the shoes of your
customer like we're pretending that
we're the shop owners right now how do
they see our shop or our shirt so we
look across the first row all right all
right all right nothing big not a big
deal
um you know one shop has 4 700 reviews
okay that's a lot but then we scroll
down to the second row and boom there's
a shop with
over 25 000 reviews
average five-star review
with free shipping so rather than
running a sale they're offering uh free
shipping
and they're charging 17 let's see if
they're doing the um
loss leader strategy but you guys see
what i'm saying like
they don't have to worry i guess as much
about standing out in search results
because they just have 20 like what's
their edge well they have 25 000 reviews
who else does probably nobody on this
you know entire page right
they're figuring out what's working for
them
uh you can see how they structure their
listings here you know you've got your
standard shirt on white background i'm
wondering why they did white background
maybe they you know mix it up i'm
assuming they probably mix it up
definitely on the socks they do
uh where'd it go here we are they
highlight the design itself in
a close-up i wonder if that's actually a
picture it looks like it could be
instead of just doing like a
computer mock-up they've got the size
chart that's always a good addition to
any listing like with t-shirts uh people
definitely pay attention to that
and they've got kind of a little company
profile right here
saying why choose crazy dog t-shirts you
know and they they're kind of breaking
it down for you why their company
special etc
all right so let's do a size let's do a
xl
quantity one okay so they're not doing
the uh loss leader tactic
that a lot of shops do you know and
honestly the lost leader i had somebody
message me and say like i'm not a big
fan of the idea of that because it feels
like you got duped as your if you're a
customer on the other side of that you
know when you see
a shirt listed as
11.99 then you come into the listing and
you say oh i'm a size xl and then the
price jumps from 1199 to 17.99 you're
like what
um but you know at the same time like if
etsy didn't like that didn't want that
they could fix it
um on ebay they do the same thing but
then i also noticed on ebay that's where
i do a lot of my shopping like
they'll also sometimes show the range so
it would say like 11.99 through
17.99 instead of just 11.99 right they
do this sometimes not all the time so
it's something that the platforms could
fix by not fixing it
uh they could you know
by not fixing it they're incentivizing
people to do it is what i meant to say
uh check this out down here so they've
got their shipping policies like
explicitly stated
uh etsy's even like showing kind of the
timeline here you know you place your
order today january 31st they will ship
it out tomorrow february 1st and on
february 5th
it will be delivered it says estimated
though so i'm sure like they're not
going to guarantee it
that being said though this does look
you know really good and it's tough if
we're outsourcing to printful printify
essentially doing anything other than
fulfilling these ourselves it's tough to
compete with these guys um but you know
where we have our edge
is right here
okay in search results
all right because in search results
not everybody's gonna go and see oh yeah
25 000 you know reviews that's why we
should buy from this guy they're not all
going to see that
so we can do kick-ass thumbnails great
designs that pop
run a sale maybe offer free shipping too
and do the loss leader to get them to
click you know if we combine all these
things
we have a fighting chance against
somebody like crazy dog t-shirts who
obviously is you know absolutely
crushing it let's just hit refresh
yeah they gained like five sales in the
in the time that we were looking at
their shop
must be nice right let's scroll down and
see what they got going on so they're
utilizing sections here
zombie halloween fall
maternity teas
uh the maternity tees that's kind of an
interesting take on whoa this one nine
people have this in their cart it's like
a little cat
chilling on the uh the stomach
um this is actually okay so they're
definitely using 3d mock-ups by the way
you can kind of tell
on how they look
uh valentine's day maternity tea
football maternity okay this is cool
cool interesting take you know when you
have your own company too like doing the
printing you can although one thing
though if they're actually doing all
these like
they have to keep all these in stock in
these different sizes and colors like
that's a lot of stock like this is
probably a huge company
and they're probably selling you know
not just on etsy if i had to guess
because this is just the maternity tees
look how many different colors they have
you know i mean each
each color plus size combination is a
different skew so they got one two three
six sizes
and
five colors that's at least 30
skus just for the pregnancy tees so i
mean
hey if they're executing it you know
more power to them but that's a lot of
work
the flip shirts
these are awesome i would love to be
able to sell these um it's just infinite
ideas i would man they're they're
selling these for 17 bucks too that's
crazy
i'm assuming they're getting like you
know probably a great deal on the
the base cost of the shirts
and
they probably have to have a graphic
designer do the mock-ups if i had to
guess because i wouldn't imagine that a
computer mock-up could do
both the uh you know the two people side
by side but either way i mean if you're
making as much money as these guys are
it's probably not a big deal
um but i love that
so it looks like they've got some niches
in their sections they've also got
sections for you know product type men's
t-shirts women's t-shirts kids shirts
baby and toddler masks
socks mugs so they do mugs too wow
that's crazy so they do mugs as well and
they're selling them for 9.99
with free shipping or no there can't be
it can't be free shipping it is 9.99
plus free shipping
that's tough to compete with guys i'm
just gonna say what i see um they're
shipping mugs out
and
covering the base cost of the mugs
and making a profit margin at
9.99 it doesn't seem possible but
yeah um that certainly makes it harder
for us to sell mugs on etsy but at the
same time guys like you know
these these they only have 80 mugs
listed for sale on their shop maybe it's
because there's not as much money in
selling the mugs i'm surprised they
don't up their prices
uh but you know i wouldn't let that
deter you from selling mugs because like
they like i said they've got 80 mugs
so you can list 800 right and you can
definitely lock in more mug sales
probably than they will
but that 9.99 price point is definitely
attractive
they have dog shirts that's awesome
print on demand dog shirts
and aprons and oven mitts so a wide
variety of products it appears that they
are keeping in stock so we hit refresh
one more time
all right they didn't make any sales in
the last like two minutes since we last
checked um guys let me know your
thoughts about crazy dog shirts in the
comments below this is definitely one of
the most impressive shops that we've
reviewed to date
i'm certainly like you know
learning from them and also just kind of
seeing how they operate their business
i'm sure etsy drives a ton of traffic
and you know we could probably find them
on
amazon as well i'm just going to venture
i guess let's see yep and here they are
on amazon
as well i'm sure doing
quite quite well
so i guess that is an option you know
you buy factory buy the machinery
keep these skus in stock and uh
hire staff to fulfill orders and
that one day shipping you know that's
in theory could make these prime
eligible for seller fulfilled prime
although that's kind of a
been a crap shoot for a lot of people
that tried it but anyways guys
thank you for watching let me know your
thoughts in the comments below
should should i go buy a factory hire a
bunch of workers
keep all these skus in stock and try to
replicate their success should i do it
guys let me know but thank you for
watching please enjoy the rest of your
saturday please like and subscribe by
the way and i will see you guys tomorrow
with the new top five niches of the week
