What if your POD designs aren't the problem, but your timing is?

If you're confident in your design and your chosen print on demand products but still aren't seeing any sales it could be time to look at when you're adding your listings.

Christmas listing timeline showing research in August, design completion in September, and upload in October before shopper searches rise in November and December.

Shoppers may have started looking before you uploaded.

Print on demand shopping starts earlier than you think. Christmas shoppers don’t always wait until December. If your listing goes live after their search has started, it probably won’t be found.

The holiday

When the actual event is

Christmas may be December 25, but that’s not the date to focus on.

The search window

When shoppers start looking

The shopper that likes print on demand marketplaces starts looking several weeks before the event itself.

Your upload date

When the listing needs to be live

Your listing has to be submitted early enough to clear review and be found in the POD search results while shoppers are actively looking.

Artkecco's print on demand planner helps you adjust and improve your timing by showing you when to start preparing your designs so that they're ready at the right time.

1

Choose what you’re designing for

Pick the holiday, gift occasion, niche day, collection launch, or special sale date.

2

See when to start the work

The POD Planner shows you when your research date, design date, and estimated upload dates are.

3

Know what to work on next

Your customized reminders let you know what needs your attention now and in the weeks and months ahead.

A product is not available for purchase just because the file is uploaded.

Marketplace review takes time

Redbubble, Zazzle, TeePublic, Amazon Merch on Demand, and other popular print on demand marketplaces may not show every new listing in the search right away.

Production and delivery take time

Your upload date also needs to account for the POD providers and fulfillers that will make and ship the order.

One design can need several upload dates

The same artwork may go live in the search results at different times across different marketplaces.

You have limited time to make everything

Review all of the up coming niche dates and events and choose what you want to work on. Decide which opportunities need attention now, and decide what's worth making.
