Tips for Marketing Your Redbubble Store

I’ve had my Redbubble store since September 2016. In that time, I have learned a lot about what works for me and what doesn’t. It took me a while to finally start getting consistent sales, but now that I am, I want to share with others what I have learned!

In the first year that I had Redbubble, I only made one sale. Why is that, you ask? Well, because I didn’t have very many designs up yet. However, in 2017, things began to change. I uploaded new designs frequently, and made almost 30 sales. At this point, I was consistently making new designs to see what works and what didn’t.

Now it’s 2020, and I’m making sales consistently. Some months are better than others, but sometimes I make multiple sales in a day! I’ve been more consistent with creating new designs and using social media to market my designs.

How can I use social media to market my designs?

There are many different ways that you can market your Redbubble store. Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Tiktok, Tumblr, Twitter, Youtube... any of these social media websites can be used as a tool for spreading the word about your store. It’s important to know your demographic (target audience) and the places online where they frequently spend their time. Do a little research online and find out what apps or websites your demographic uses most frequently.

What should I post, you may be asking? Well, it wouldn’t hurt to take a look at other successful Redbubble stores and see what they’re doing. My target market is young women, from the age of let’s say 13 to 25. One competitor of mine whose designs appeal to the same demographic uses TikTok to promote her designs. So I’ve made a TikTok and I plan on finding a way to promote my store by creating short-form videos on the platform.

Instagram is a platform that I have more experience with, and I feel more comfortable using it, so I have created a page (separate from my personal account--this is important) where I post my designs weekly. This helps to generate some traffic to my store and get it in front of people who may not have seen it otherwise. Make sure to use relevant hashtags, and I always tag Redbubble’s account in my photos. Here is a blog post from Redbubble about sharing your work, using hashtags, captions, and tracking links, and measuring the results!

Help! I’m using social media to market my designs but I’m still not making sales.

Sorry to break it to you, but it takes a bit of hard work and patience to make sales on Redbubble. There’s no magic pill to make money hand over fist. It’s something you have to constantly work at. Make sure all of the work you have to offer is high quality. You won’t make sales if you don’t have work that appeals to someone. Every so often, I go into my store, make sure every design looks good on the products it’s enabled on, delete any designs that have been up for years but haven’t made any sales, and add new designs. Make sure you are doing research to pick up on design trends--certain colors and subject matters go in and out of popularity. Try to ride those waves.

If you’re having a hard time breaking into a niche, maybe try a different style. If you’ve been going for dark and moody, maybe try something outside of your comfort zone, like a t-shirt with a pun that features an animal illustration. Those seem to do really well on Redbubble! You can always find out what’s selling by going to a category- for example, stickers- and sorting them by “Trending”. Try to figure out if you can duplicate the success of that product by offering something similar in terms of subject matter (not stealing their idea).

How to Create Designs That Work for Your Print-on-Demand Business

Running a print-on-demand business is both exciting and challenging. Whether you're selling on platforms like Redbubble or managing your own store, creating designs that resonate with your audience is the key to success. But how do you craft designs that not only look great but also sell? In this blog post, I’ll guide you through the process of creating designs that work for your print-on-demand business, with tips and tricks tailored to help you stand out in a competitive market. Let’s dive in!

Why Design Matters in Print-on-Demand

In the world of print-on-demand, your designs are your product. Unlike traditional retail, you’re not selling physical inventory—you’re selling ideas. Your customers are drawn to your creativity, so your designs need to:

- Capture attention: Bold, unique designs stand out in search results.

- Resonate with your audience: People buy designs that align with their personality, values, or interests.

- Fit the product: A design that looks great on a t-shirt might not work on a mug or phone case.

Understanding these principles is the first step to creating designs that work for your business.

Step 1: Know Your Niche

The most successful print-on-demand businesses are niche-focused. Instead of trying to appeal to everyone, target a specific audience.

- Research your audience: Who are they? What are their interests, hobbies, or values?

- Find trending niches: Use tools like Google Trends or Redbubble’s trending searches to discover what’s popular.

- Create for your passion: If you’re passionate about your niche, it will show in your designs.

For example, if your niche is cozy, minimalist designs, you could create products that appeal to people who love hygge-inspired aesthetics.

Step 2: Brainstorm Unique Design Ideas

Once you’ve identified your niche, it’s time to brainstorm ideas. Here’s how to get started:

- Use keyword research: Tools like Redbubble’s search bar or Pinterest Trends can help you find popular themes.

- Look for inspiration: Check out competitors, social media, or even nature for fresh ideas.

- Think seasonally: Holidays, seasons, and special events are great opportunities for themed designs.

Pro tip: Keep a notebook or digital folder for design ideas. Inspiration can strike at any time!

Step 3: Master the Tools of the Trade

You don’t need to be a professional graphic designer to create stunning designs. With the right tools, anyone can make high-quality artwork.

- Free design tools: Canva, GIMP, and Inkscape are great for beginners.

- Professional software: Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator offer advanced features for experienced designers.

- Mockup generators: Use tools like Placeit to see how your designs will look on products.

If you’re new to design, start simple. Minimalist designs with clean lines and bold typography are often bestsellers.

Step 4: Optimize Your Designs for Products

Not all designs work on every product. To maximize sales, tailor your designs to fit specific items.

- Consider placement: A design that looks great on a t-shirt might need adjustments for a mug or sticker.

- Use high-resolution files: Print-on-demand platforms require high-quality images to ensure sharp prints.

- Test your designs: Upload them to mockup tools to see how they look on different products.

For example, if you’re creating a design for a phone case, make sure the key elements aren’t cut off by the edges or camera hole.

Step 5: Write SEO-Friendly Titles and Tags

Even the best designs won’t sell if no one can find them. That’s where SEO comes in.

- Use relevant keywords: Include terms your audience is searching for, like “minimalist phone case” or “funny coffee mug.”

- Write descriptive titles: Instead of “Cool Design,” try “Retro Sunset Design for T-Shirts and Stickers.”

- Add detailed tags: Use a mix of broad and specific tags to improve your visibility.

For example, if your design is a cozy winter illustration, your tags might include “winter mug,” “cozy vibes,” and “holiday gift ideas.”

Step 6: Promote Your Designs

Creating great designs is only half the battle—you also need to market them.

- Leverage social media: Share your designs on Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok.

- Engage with your audience: Respond to comments and messages to build a loyal following.

- Collaborate with influencers: Partner with creators who align with your niche to reach a wider audience.

You can share behind-the-scenes content, like your design process or mockups, to connect with your audience on a personal level.

Step 7: Analyze and Improve

Finally, track your performance to see what’s working and what’s not.

- Check your analytics: Platforms like Redbubble provide insights into your sales and traffic.

- Experiment with new designs: Test different styles, themes, or niches to see what resonates.

- Listen to feedback: Pay attention to customer reviews and comments to improve your designs.

Remember, success in print-on-demand is a marathon, not a sprint. Keep learning and adapting as you go.

Final Thoughts

Creating designs that work for your print-on-demand business takes time, creativity, and strategy. By understanding your niche, mastering design tools, and optimizing your listings for SEO, you can build a successful shop that stands out from the crowd.

You have the power to turn your ideas into products that people love. So, what are you waiting for? Start creating today and watch your business grow!

Basic-Ass Redbubble Tips

 I am by no means a pro at this shit but this is some basic bizniss and mark my words, I’m correct:

1. Use PNGs. Please. With transparent backgrounds. It looks so tacky to have your nice cool typography/art on a white square on an off-white mug/shirt/clock. This is the most important tip.

2. Spend 10mins formatting your designs for the various products- especially the phones/mugs/travel cups- make sure it’s not chopping off the bottom or the sides

3. Try not to have your design end in an abrupt straight line at the bottom- this occasionally works but play it safe

4. Reformat your design closer/further apart for the sticker design and upload it individually, depending if you want resulting one sticker or multiple- stickers are definitely the most purchased item because they’re the cheapest, so it’s worth doing for sure

5. Stay away from the dorky-ass fonts that came with microsoft word, yeah? Times new roman and comic sans especially but just, like, download druchilla or something. Go on dafont or fontsquirrel or blambot (all free) (blambot especially recommended, it’s fantastic) and get yourself something nice.

6. Hashtags are your amigo, amigo- go wild

7. Stay away from the posterise filter if you can

8. Personally I like to search up my quote (or idea, whatever) on the redbubble search engine before I post my work just to see if it’s very similar or identical to what’s already out there

9. Don’t post squashed or stretched images

10. Don’t do crappy cliches unless whatever you’re doing is truly clever- no ‘Keep Calm’, kids

11. Don’t add a vignette- you’re better than that

12. If it’s a long quote be sure to center your text rather than having it right-aligned

13. Hi-res or go home, baby!

14. Unless it’s a suuuper specific design- this mostly applies to clocks and duvets- put your art on more than just prints and a card; this is not to say that you should put it on EVERYTHING (you shouldn’t- I normally stay away from tapestries and skirts especially)

15. If you are going the leggings and skirts route, or duvets and scarves, your design should probably repeat

16. I’d avoid little square designs in the middle of phone cases in general

17. Be discerning with the whole adult content thing

18. Wisely choose what your design default-ly displays as 

19. Have your original design cropped tight for everything for optimal resizing but the art products (prints, posters, cards, art block) in which case make a variant with some chill whitespace around, room to breathe, you feel me

20. Have a blast!
