Description

<p>Welcome back to the Print On Demand Cast!<br/><br/>in this week&apos;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&apos;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.<br/><br/>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 <a href='https://printondemandcast.com/production-comparison-sheet'>https://printondemandcast.com/production-comparison-sheet</a>.<br/><br/>Plus, in this week&apos;s Point Of Interest, I share two updates from Printful that I thought we&apos;re pretty cool. The first is a new product - <a href='https://www.printful.com/knitting'>custom jacquard knitting</a>, 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 <a href='https://www.printful.com/member-sale'>limited time discount Printful is offering</a> 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.<br/><br/>One last thing, if you want the full experience of this episode, you really should consider <a href='https://youtu.be/lPDVlLkE1qc'>watching it on YouTube</a> since I share my screen a lot.<br/><br/>Enjoy the show!<br/><br/><a href='https://printondemandcast.com/'>https://printondemandcast.com<br/></a><a href='https://printondemandcast.com/shop'>https://printondemandcast.com/shop<br/></a><a href='https://printondemandcast.com/facebook'>https://printondemandcast.com/facebook<br/></a><a href='https://printondemandcast.com/youtube'>https://printondemandcast.com/youtube<br/></a><a href='https://printondemandcast.com/instagram'>https://printondemandcast.com/instagram<br/></a><a href='https://printondemandcast.com/tiktok%E2%81%A0%E2%81%A0'>https://printondemandcast.com/tiktok⁠⁠<br/></a><br/>Sign up to get your <b>FREE</b> Annual Design Calendar!⁠⁠⁠<br/><a href='https://printondemandcast.com/VIP'>https://printondemandcast.com/VIP<br/></a><br/>Other links:<br/><a href='https://printondemandcast.com/listing-tracker'>https://printondemandcast.com/listing-tracker</a><br/><a href='https://www.printful.com/knitting'>https://www.printful.com/knitting</a><br/><a href='https://www.printful.com/member-sale'>https://www.printful.com/member-sale</a><br/><a href='https://printondemandcast.com/printful'>https://printondemandcast.com/printful</a><br/><a href='https://printondemandcast.com/creativefabrica'>https://printondemandcast.com/creativefabrica</a><br/><a href='https://printondemandcast.com/production-comparison-sheet'>https://printondemandcast.com/prod</a></p><strong><a href='https://everydayaipodcast.com/' target='_blank'>Everyday AI: Your daily guide to grown with Generative AI</a></strong><br>Can't keep up with AI?
