E220: In House vs Outsourced Production for Print On Demand + Another Free Tool

Print On Demand Cast: Print On Demand Tips and eCommerce Strategies for Selling POD on Etsy, Amazon, and More!

Welcome back to the Print On Demand Cast!
in this week's episode, I take a deep dive into the pros and cons of in-house versus outsourced production. From quality control to scalability, each method presents its own set of challenges and opportunities. Whether it's analyzing the cost structure of a large coffee mug order or the logistics of efficient shipping, I provide insights into optimizing operations and maximizing profits. With practical examples and real-world scenarios, I hope to arm you with the knowledge to make strategic decisions for your print-on-demand business.
At the end of the episode, I share a link to a google sheet I created that can help you figure out your profit margins for in-house and outsourced production. You can grab that for yourself at https://printondemandcast.com/production-comparison-sheet.
Plus, in this week's Point Of Interest, I share two updates from Printful that I thought we're pretty cool. The first is a new product - custom jacquard knitting, a technique that transforms yarn into intricate patterns within the fabric itself. This innovation could elevate your print-on-demand offerings to new heights, or at least new profits! Secondly, I share a limited time discount Printful is offering to their Printful Growth subscribers from Nov 1 - Dec 15. I spend a lot of time talking about the embroidered trucker hat you can get shipped to your customer for under $15, but there are a few other popular products on the list.
One last thing, if you want the full experience of this episode, you really should consider watching it on YouTube since I share my screen a lot.
Enjoy the show!
