In this special edition I spoke with the CEO of Printful, Alex Saltonstall and am bringing you an exclusive interview. It was super insightful chatting with Alex as we discussed, the story behind Printful, how to start a print on demand business & much more. ð Who is Alex Saltonstall? Previously, Alex Saltonstall held the position of General Manager overseeing CastleGate and Partner Operations at Wayfair. During his tenure, Saltonstall successfully led a dedicated team in shaping an exceptional consumer experience. He now is the CEO of Printful, the most popular print on demand platform in the market, where he has continued to build out their enterprise offering. Iâve wanted to speak to Alex for a while and even with my high hopes- he overdelivered. In our conversation, we spoke about how to start a print on demand business, tips to stand out in an oversaturated market, popular product categories that he sees & much, much more. Alex was extremely generous with his time and this is one of the longest interviews he has done. â Having a brilliant idea is the most important aspect of starting a print-on-demand business. Alex Saltonstall ð¡ 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.
