GrooveKart: What Is Print On Demand Business

Free Youtube Training To Learn How To Build A Online Store From Scratch Here

Print On Demand (POD) is pretty much printing a unique design on a product and selling it to the market, specific submarket to make a profit. GrooveKart POD business provides you with the chance of selling items without needing to have a warehouse full of merchandise to print your design.

POD has been around for decades now, but it has seen a huge increase in popularity with the advent of digital printing technologies just in the last two decades. POD companies have grown significantly in number due to its increased use over the years.

POD is very popular within the e-commerce industry. Many small businesses and entrepreneurs who want to start building their own brand online use this method to start establishing authority against their competition and/or make an extra income or primary income.

In my case, it is my side hustle when I have free time or no clients to build an ecommerce website by using GrooveKart. Yes, there are other ecommerce website platforms but I’ve been using GrooveKart since 2021, so I know its “ins and outs” to serve my customers efficiently.

If you go to Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, and even Youtube, you have probably already seen someone trying to sell you a t-shirt, coffee mug, flags, leggins, hoodies, shoes, laptop cases, phone cases, stickers, keychains, backpacks, etc.., this is what POD is.

You can also sell your own merchandise if you create it at home and upload a picture of it to your preferred ecommerce website to display it on the web.

Doing it this way, you cut out the middle man, making you more profits in the long run instead of buying… at base cost and selling the item at your desired price.

Then again, the main purpose (I believe) of POD is to set up an online store and have the integration partners be your fulfillment center.

…print your design on the item the customer purchased from your website and ship it out to them from their warehouse to the customer’s home address.

Yet, another thing I love about POD is that you can take your business with you as long as you have access to the internet with your laptop, like going to Starbucks, local restaurants, hotels (if you are on a trip), parks, etc.

In this blog post I’ll go a little more in depth about POD so you can start your first or next business now, to earn more green bills in your wallet instead of letting them pass you by, like a free month's full paid airplane ticket with hotel included to the Bahamas islands, for you and your family.

Print On Demand Vs Traditional Print?

New POD companies like Printful, Printify, between many others have partnered up with big ecommerce platforms like Etsy, Shopify, GrooveKart, and Woocommerce so that you can integrate with one click into their system so when you make a sale, they take care of shipping it… to them with your logo and/or unique graphic design on the merchandise.

Previously, when it came to the traditional route of printing your graphic design on a product, you had to invest in a lot of expensive equipment and have it at either your house or at a big facility to do the printing.

Then immediately after, go to your nearest post office, Fedex or UPS store to ship the item out every time someone places an order through your online store.

As you can see, the new route makes it much easier for us entrepreneurs, small businesses, and startups to just focus on creating more cool products for the customers and driving traffic to their online stores to make more sales.

More and more POD companies are rising thanks to the internet which allows the businesses to integrate with ecommerce platforms even across seas which was not even possible like 3 decades ago.

In other words, you can plug yourself into Aliexpress by using GrooveKart to acquire merchandise for a very low cost and sell it to the United States for anywhere from 3–5 times the cost to make a profit from it.

Traditionally, before the awesome technology we have, one had to order by the bulk across the seas to obtain the product and store it at their house or at a warehouse and manually ship it out one at a time when a customer placed an order online, made a purchase.

This was a tedious process because you first had to find the vendor online, get on the phone, negotiate price, get samples, and the whole enchilada, but now.., again, thanks to technology, we can bypass this process and integrate with POD across the seas if one likes.

Overall, POD is such an easy business to manage because you don’t have to have physical inventory in your house or at your office, simply plug and play..,

this will bring customers to your online store and make sales. The integrated partners will take care of everything, the fulfillment process.

If by any chance, they run out of the products, they will email you so you can shut that product down from your site or you can set up GrooveKart to take care of this setting automatically.

How To Start A Print On Demand Business?

POD has opened up a whole new world of opportunity for entrepreneurs, as I mentioned earlier. Gone are the days of inventory and production. Nowadays, all you need is an idea, GrooveKart, and the ability to market your product online to generate leads and sales.

GrooveKart has some amazing partners such Slingly, Aliexpress, Printful and others who already have an integration app which only takes a few minutes to click and set up so people can start buying from your website and again, they will take care of the fulfillment process.

Let’s say you want to sell coffee mugs, but what graphic design do you want to print on it? This is where we start looking at the marketplace, such as wealth, health, or relationships. My recommendation would be to choose something you feel very passionate about.

My sister works in the dental industry, so for this example, let's say we want to sell coffee mugs to the dental workers, dental employees. We have two options, we can either create a very cool image or we can write quotes or even combine both of them into one coffee mug.

We can say a quote like “Brushing your teeth every day keeps the dental doctor away” with images of toothbrushes, toothpaste, and flossed string rolls. Now that I think about it, we can even target the walk-in customers too, to generate more of a profit... Ha!

If we were in the fashion leggings business, I would like to focus on only selling to people who like home fitness. Of course, people who love working out at the gym would be our ideal customers, so they can buy from us.

You can totally create a cute seamless pattern design with gym elements like dumb-bells, rope climbing, and other gym equipment with a background that makes these elements pop out, and that can be the start of creating your next product.

When it comes to building an ecommerce website, John Garcia & Frank Salinas who I believe are in charge of GrooveKart, have on Youtube multiple sessions on how to create from scratch your first POD business.

Usually, people would charge for this kind of insight, but they believe in giving away all their knowledge for free to help you make your first dollar online using GrooveKart in the ecommerce business industry.

Overall, as you can see, the options are endless when it comes to choosing what market and which industry you want to sell in and then who you want to sell to.

Why GrooveKart?

GrooveKart is the next big thing that is going to take over the internet in the market industry of ecommerce. Many people believe that they are the new “kids on the block", but in reality they’ve been here for almost a decade now, they are just now going “public” you can say.

GrooveKart, which is part of GrooveCm, has an awesome customer support service, so they are there to help you every step of the way. Plus, they have tons of tutorials on Youtube, like I mentioned above from Frank Salinas and John Garcia.

GrooveKart has made it easy to build your ecommerce website with them, they have pre-made templates you can customize to your desire. This is how I set up my online store, and the process was so much easier than creating your own online store from scratch.

But, if you create your own online store from scratch, you will have your own unique style no one has and that can work to your advantage!

Outside of having cool app integrations with big POD companies, they also have other apps to gamify your store, like the “spin wheel,” where the visitor spins it and in whatever they want (usually a percent discount), they can use it for that day before the coupon code expires.

If you have Facebook Messenger like Chatmatic, you can bring that over to your GrooveKart to help lead your customers into acquiring a sale, providing customer service, having a FAQ section, offering a discount, etc.

OMG... GrooveKart will automatically send an email after every purchase that is made by your customer, so you won’t have to worry about doing this manually to provide a great experience to your buyers.

GrooveKart has now announced on their roadmap that they will have “Affiliate Marketing” for ecommerce stores. This means that you can have people selling your products and for every sale they make, you can give them a small percentage of that purchase.

… to incentivize them to keep promoting your products and driving more traffic to your store so you can make more sales as well, essentially leading to more revenue for the business and more profit for your wallet to get thicker and fatter.

In 2022, GrooveKart will have this cool feature everyone has been waiting for which is “monthly membership subscription”. This will allow you to make even more money.

In my case, I sell t-shirts. So, I want to do an insider “VIP T-shirts" program where the people who subscribe to my monthly recurring t-shirt program can receive exclusive t-shirts that are not listed on my online store to show off to their friends and family.

Will Print On Demand Die In The Next Few Years?

The last few years with POD has been skyrocketing every other year by at least 10 percent, and that is because, nowadays, everyone is using the power of the internet and it has never been easier than ever to shop from your phone, like in the day and age we live in now.

If you type in on Google, for example, “Black Friday online sales statistics” you will see tons of articles, blogs, news, charts, pictures, graphs, images on how every year people are buying more and more online, which means ecommerce will never die.

… much less when you are selling and serving a specific product to a narrow population of customers who are real fans of that specific thing you are selling, such as: unique anime t-shirt design, unique landscape metallic poster, high quality print design, etc.., You get the point!

I believe it comes down to knowing exactly who your dream customer is to never die in the competitive world of the ecommerce industry. Once you have this element figured out, it just becomes easier to come up with new products for them to serve and sell.

The only time that POD will die is when the seller stops learning from the customer about their wants and needs to create more value for them. Once the buyer doesn’t see how the product can impact their life in a positive way, that's when a “marketplace” starts to die.

Conclusion: Grow The Thickness Of Your Wallet Now With GrooveKart

If you hate money, just keep on playing your favorite video games and once we (serious POD entrepreneurs) discover which is your favorite character to play as, we will create a one-of-a-kind poster of this video game persona and sell it to you for a very high price.

With GrooveKart, you also have the option to create your own website blog to drive even more traffic to your online store organically.

Overall, my best recommendation would be to give this a shot for the next 30 days and REALLY GO ALL IN. Once you make your 1st or next dollar online, you will start geeking out on what other strategies you can implement to make your wallet even thicker to eat all the food you want.
