Alex was extremely generous with his time and this is one of the longest interviews he has done. ❝ Having a brilliant idea is the most important aspect of starting a print-on-demand business. Alex Saltonstall 💡 Interview Highlights Why Should People Consider Starting a Print-on-demand Business? Print-on-demand is an excellent way to start a business, especially in the ecommerce space. There are several reasons why this model is advantageous for aspiring entrepreneurs. Firstly, setting up a print-on-demand business is quick and requires minimal investment. The initial costs are also relatively low, making it accessible for those with limited capital. Some Critics Might Say the Market is Too Saturated; How Would You Reply to That? In a world with countless online sellers and aspiring brands, it's natural to wonder if the market is too saturated. However, it's important to remember that the market is vast, and there are numerous individuals who are eager to express their uniqueness through the products they buy and wear. The key lies in finding your niche and connecting with a specific audience. What Are Some Popular Product Categories That Entrepreneurs Should Explore Right Now? While it may seem like the market for basic products such as T-shirts and hoodies would eventually reach saturation, the reality is quite the opposite. Our experience has shown that almost all successful print-on-demand sites include these fundamental products in their selection. One example of a technique that has been incredibly successful for many of our merchants is embroidery. Embroidery offers versatility, as it can be applied to various design looks.
