Print On Demand Ideas

[Kurt]

Hey Jeffery...I don't think this is the exact kind of ideas you had in mind and that you generally mean designs...but how about some unconventional marketing ideas using POD?

Maybe you want to target a certain small business owner to sell services or products to. Do some research and come up with the names of the owner and secretary then customize a pair of mugs with their names on one side and your contact info on the other. CustomCat sells and ships two 16oz coffee mugs for about $15. This wouldn't work in "bulk" but for targeting a few specific businesses may work.

Create niche products to use as prizes for contests. There's a hundreds of different POD products available and they aren't limited to tees and mugs and there's something to match just about any demographic.

Sponsor a youth sports team. Come up with a cool design and put your company name and contact info on the jerseys/tees. (And don't forget to send out a press release to the local media about sponsoring the team.

Here's a short list of some options:

• aprons
  
• backpacks
  
• baseball tees
  
• beach towels
  
• bean bag chairs
  
• blankets
  
• canvas artwork
  
• car seat covers
  
• clocks
  
• curtains
  
• floor mats
  
• hoodies
  
• jewelry
  
• laptop sleeves
  
• luggage
  
• luggage covers
  
• metal prints
  
• neckties
  
• ottomans
  
• phone cases
  
• posters and wall art
  
• puzzles and games
  
• tote bags
  
• watches
  
• welcome mats
  
• yoga mats
  

Any creative marketing ideas for these?
