Thanks for watching!
very helpful, worth the watch
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
Very informative. I am thinking more of where I should start. I have to think about the information I took in before deciding.
Yes, laying out a plan and getting organized is the best place to start for sure!
I use a lot of print options and have found Printful quality good, but they are taking a long time for fulfillment this year. Also, customer service is spotty. They are easy to use and fairly cost-efficient so I usually start there. My print customers seem happy. I haven't seen the frames so I'm happy for the insight that they may be cheap looking. For higher-end items I go to other pricier PODs. I recently tried canvaschamp - wow, not happy with the extremely LONG processing and lackluster customer service! I will not use them again! Have not tried Gooten, but thanks for the tips. They seem to have a lot of options! (Just a heads up - your captions are reading Gooten as gluten!) :)
Thank you for that catch! And good reviews and advice too! Thank you for watching!
You are AWESOME!!! TY
Thank you for watching!

Wow i was with the dilema today exacly with that companys and redbubble and i am subscriber i saw your video and for start i go with print because i dont know if the people will like. But thank very much help a lot 😘
Welcome aboard! I'm so glad that you found this video helpful!
Thank you! I just starting researching print options last week! I couldnt get Gooten designer to work. It continued to distort my images no matter the changes I made on my end.
Oh that's disappointing! Did you contact their support to see if they could help with the issue?
@@CreativeHiveCo I did. They said they'd look into it. I assume with the holidays and generations shipping issues, they're having a lot of support requests.
Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope they are able to get back to you with a solution!
Would Love to see an updated review of this
Thank you for watching! Stay tuned for more helpful reviews. :)
Me too. Curious if their shipping costs have lowered.
Greetings, thanks so much for your help. I am brand new to this, although I did self-publish a book on amazon last year. I am based in Canada. My first question is about the international market and drop shipping. I understand that printify is now in the UK... My question is, for selling my designs on posters/ t-shirts/ stickers/ etc with worldwide distribution, do I set up an online shop with etsy/ shopify, and then use the resources of different POD companies, in different countries, to avoid high shipping costs and taxes (making my product more affordable to the customer). Thank you. Jay
Hi Jay, if you are drop shipping using a POD service then they have their own shipping structures, and can likely integrate with website services. Here is an article specific to Printify's shipping set up: help.printify.com/en/articles/1665448-how-do-i-set-up-shipping
You are so cute and this video was amazing. Unfortunately, these print providers are not on my top list. Hope you can do more reviews of new providers like awkward styles
Thank you so much for the suggestion Floriana! ❤️❤️
What are your thoughts about Printify? I find they have more option than Printful but can seem pricey if you don’t have the premium membership. I need to look into Gooten though. Appreciate the video. Your content is so helpful!
Printify is definitely another option but if I had to pick I'd still go with Printful or Gooten first if they had the products I was looking for.
Gooten’s customer service response is 72 hour during the business week which can be really tough when trying to track down a missing order...which happens more than I would like. But I do agree their selection and quality is good
Yes, and with the COVID situation I know that their customer service has been backed up, but they are helpful once you get them!
I was thinking about signing up for your workshop. What exactly is it and does it cost money
If you are talking about the 3 Secrets Workshop, that is free and can be found on my site creativehiveco.com. If you're talking about my A Sale A Day course, you can read more about that here: www.creativehiveco.com/a-sale-a-day-business-closed/ 😊
Comparing the two, printful is more favorable because it's affordable and as of now I want to start with making just (tee) shirts :)
That's a great place for you to start, and when you are going to focus in on one product it can make the choice a little easier.
Hello Mei! I make handmade soaps, and I would like to know if it's a good (or way too bad) idea to add print on demand products like towels, or soap dishes in my store. Or it's better to have a separate business or website only for POD products? Thank you, M!
If it works with and jives with your niche, then yes. So towels and soap dishes obviously would pair nicely with soap, whereas something like cell phone cases would not. Just make sure they have the same vibe as the soaps you sell so your business stays cohesive.
@@CreativeHiveCo Awesome, but for example, Is it okay that the customer receives many packages from different locations, at different times? If they buy a soap (from NZ) + towel (from US)... It means, it would affect my brand in any way?
I would just disclose it in the listing, something like, this item is coming directly from the printer/warehouse/etc. and will arrive separately from the soap. That way you have it out there upfront and there's no surprises for the customers.
Hi, I am thinking of integrating printful AND gelato with my woocommerce shop. You mentioned it was possible? Will system collade?
Because printful does not have the canvas sizes I want but they mount framed prints. Which Gelato don't etc.
As long as everything is fully integrated it should be totally okay! You may just have to have separate listings for the different sizes due to the different dropshippers.
@@CreativeHiveCo there is company that delivers framed posters, but they don’t come framed, customer have to mount it themselves. Is that a downsize?
How do you source the art and designs to sell? Are you making them all yourself?
Hi! When it comes to designs, it's completely up to you if you'd like to hire someone to create the designs for you or if you'd do it yourself. Either works. 😊
What do you think about Awkward styles POD?
Hi! I don't have any personal experience using Awkward Styles but you can check out these reviews:

Big disclaimer: Gooten won't do business with you unless you are already shipping 100+ products a month
I haven't know that to be an issue working with Gooten. I know many businesses that have used it with no issue.
@@CreativeHiveCo I tried to make an account yesterday and received an email that said I need to have 100 orders a months to work with them. Must be a new policy.
@@CreativeHiveCo it seems to be a new thing. I got the same email he did. How can you have 100 orders if you are just a start up? That really sucks!
I had that same issue a couple of days ago :-/ however, I contacted customer service and the person sent me a link where I was able to create my account! You just have to be persistent!!! 🥰
Can you please let me know why is postage cost of Gooten you have mentioned is killer? Are the seller pays that or the buyer?
Thank you in advance
Hi Judit, the postage costs should be passed on to the buyer.
What about Gooten's economy framed prints? Shipping for those is better than printfuls....how are they different from the regular framed prints you mentioned? Thanks!
For the regular framed prints you have way more options - different papers, mats, frame thickness, colors. It all depends on what you want to offer.
@@CreativeHiveCo Thank you for responding!! I am just starting and Gooten seemed like a good choice for QUALITY framed prints....however someone else on here stated gooten only accepts established stores with over 100 sales....their site also makes it sound like they want businesses that work exclusively with them. So as a beginner....I can't find good options for framed prints. Thanks for thus video!
Have you had any experience with Art of Where? Their website seems promising
I have! It's my preferred site for print on demand, but it can be slow and expensive. They have a huge variety of really nice products and the design interface is fun to use once you get the hang of it.
lauracolorstoo thanks for the info! Honestly the main thing keeping me with printful is it seems no where else does embroidered tee shirts which is a huge draw for me
@@AmieOkami the quality of art of where is awesome, so far every product I've ordered myself was stellar.
No personal experience but I've heard people talk about it. I would check their reviews/ratings in the Shopify store!
What do you mean when you say that you give the customer the option to choose?
Hi Lenny! I mean we are giving them different product options. For example, we offer framed prints via Printful, and canvas wraps via Gooten. The customer can choose which style of wall art they prefer 😊
@@CreativeHiveCo multiple options via different suppliers within one listing? Is it possible to ship all that within one same order?
Hi Lenny! I'd be happy to answer your question. Can you send me an email at mei@creativehiveco.com. Thank you! 😊
I use eckward and linked it witch printful, I haven't actually manageg to sell anything yet since I set up my e-commerce and Instagram shop. I'm wondering what id the quality. I'm more into selling my original digital and traditional painting.
The quality on both is good and it will depend on what your art looks like, too. There is always the option of a local print shop if you are looking to just do prints, as well.
This doesn't work for me. The stores don't connect or go online after creating the product.
You should definitely contact their customer service department for help - they are the experts of their platform and are usually really helpful.
Gotten is nice but their shipping is ridiculous. $17 to ship an art print that already costs maybe $12 for them to make ? That’s the only reason why I don’t use them. I will never use them. And the quality for Printful is sad because that’s what I mainly want to sell. Any other POD ?
Hi Aurora! You can check out these other POD companies too:
Printify
Zazzle
Gelato
Tee Junction
FineArtAmerica
Art of Where
Customcat
Teelaunch
Teespring
Forgot about printify
So far, Printful and Gooten are what stands out to me but Printify is definitely worth checking out as well. 💕💕
have you tried PRINTIFY ?
We haven't personally tried it, but I have heard good things about it as an option.
Honestly these print on demand shops are borderline. I would love to get to a place where I can move away from and find manufacturers with high standards even though it will carry a bigger burden.
It really depends on preference. Finding a reliable quality manufacturer is certainly another option one can consider. 😊
Considering you work with crafts and prints, something i dont have any knowledge with, but when it comes to apparel, your info is misleading, as no one use the printing equipments that printful has so far in the market, and the color option is not simply white and black and grey as you mentioned, it is way more than that. Just an opinion here just to show ppl the both side of a story.
I understand what you're saying, Rami. My goal here with this video was to give people an overview of the two best options, but people are definitely going to have to visit each to get an idea of which will work best for them. Thanks for your comment!
Have to say, I got a test print from printful and the quality wasn't great, which isn't really suprising considering they use 150dpi essentially half the resolution of normal print standard. Im sure its fine for simple designs, but for anything with much detail, I honestly wouldn't feel right charging customers for it. Must look at Gooten 🙏🏻 Not convinced POD is the way to go in terms of quality art prints
It can definitely be a challenge to find the right fit for you and your work, and it can be hard to put your work in someone else's hands to print for you!
This is why I upload my files at higher resolutions than what they recommend. The 150dpi was iffy to me so I decided to just keep it high, like I normally do
@@AuraQueenDraconis how did the poster quality turn out then/
@@HtheKing I haven't done a poster yet but the hoodie, tote, and skirt turned out well. I did do a glossy postcard which was excellent as well, but not a full size poster. I use 600dpi on all my art that I upload
