If you’re an artist, designer, or creator looking to expand your brand, creating and selling your merchandise is an excellent way. Whether for your art, a message you want to share, or something fun, selling on-demand products allows you to generate income without the overhead of mass production and inventory. But where do you start? And how can you make sure that the process is simple and streamlined?
In this blog, we’ll explain how to make your merchandise and how FiberArt makes it even easier to create, customize, and sell on-demand products that perfectly represent your creative vision.
Creating and Selling On-Demand Products
On-demand merchandising allows creators to design products and make them only when customers order, eliminating the need for bulk purchasing, warehousing, and upfront investments. All you need to do is create the designs, set up your online store, and let a printing partner take care of production and shipping.
On-demand selling is ideal for artists because it lets you focus on what you do best—creating—while someone else handles the logistics. You don’t have to worry about unsold inventory because products are made when ordered. And with this setup, the financial risk is minimal.
You can sell a wide variety of on-demand products. Clothing, accessories, art prints, and home decor items are all great options, but custom blankets are especially exciting. Whether you’re selling your designs or creating items for your specific community, on-demand products like these offer a unique way for people to connect with your work.
How FiberArt Helps Creators Make and Sell Their Own Merch
At FiberArt, we’ve made it easier for creators to design and sell custom textiles and home decor products, particularly blankets, through a seamless integration with your online store. FiberArt specializes in manufacturing high-quality, customizable products made on-demand, giving you all the benefits of on-demand selling without sacrificing quality or creativity.
Here’s how the process works:
1. Create Your Designs
The first step is to create your unique designs. This could be anything from artwork, logos, patterns, or quotes—whatever reflects your artistic vision. With FiberArt, you have the flexibility to customize your designs for a variety of products, like blankets. You can design blankets that speak to your audience, making them functional, stylish, and memorable.
2. Set Up Your Online Store
Setting up an online store is simple with platforms like Shopify, Etsy, or WooCommerce. These platforms allow you to display your products, manage orders, and communicate with customers. Once you’ve set up your store, you can integrate FiberArt into your sales process, enabling you to offer your customers custom, made-on-demand blankets (and other products seamlessly).
3. FiberArt Takes Care of Production and Shipping
Once an order is placed, FiberArt takes over. Our team handles everything from weaving the blankets to ensuring your product is shipped directly to your customer. We manage all the production logistics, saving you time and hassle. All products are made in the USA, and because there’s no middleman, you’re getting a cost-effective, direct-to-consumer experience that lets you keep your margins higher.
4. Enjoy Seamless Integration:
FiberArt makes it incredibly easy to integrate custom product creation into your online store. From the moment you upload your designs to the platform, we work in the background to fulfill the orders. Your store will display your custom blankets and other products, but you won’t have to worry about inventory, production schedules, or shipping times.
5. Promote and Sell:
Once your store is live, it’s time to promote your merch! You can use your social media platforms, email lists, and other marketing channels to drive traffic to your store. Since FiberArt handles production and fulfillment, you can focus entirely on growing your audience, building your brand, and designing the next wave of products.
