H&M is the result of an ingenious idea — standardize production and make mass production possible. That was over 50 years ago. Today, the Swedish Group is a modern fashion company with a strong brand firmly established in all parts of the world but the idea behind H&M remains the same, to offer fashion and quality at the best price.
</p>

<p className="fs-lg fw-bold text-dark mb-4">
The H&M Group is continuing to tap into consumers wanting on demand services and personalisation by launching a Creator Studio B2B service.
The company explains the Creator Studio service and investment in print on-demand network Printify will provide new and innovative ways to engage and co-create with consumers, as well as to promote young designers.
</p>

In their quest for innovation, H&M is following the trend to individualize merchandise and develop a global digital printing platform for on-demand services. In this way H&M has left other fashion retailers behind in the race towards mass customization.

The Swedish company is focusing on setting up a global digital printing platform and is investing in on-demand services within its two business segments: Retail and Concept. The aim is to enable customers to order customized designs for T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, hoodies and dresses, with the option to have them produced locally in a H&M store anywhere in the world.

Fashion retailer Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) will continue to ride the wave of digitization in 2017 and invests in different on-demand services. That shows the announcement from the company that it has partnered with online apparel marketplace Tradeshift, where H&M can use its digital marketing tools for connections with customers and suppliers. Furthermore, the fashion giant is investing in a digital printing platform for more personalization. This new investment will be used to expand H&M's digital offer and to launch digital garments with different effects than offered today.

Although still a relatively young technology, digital printing has gained popularity in recent years and is now being developed by a range of companies.

The fashion retailer wants to improve service for its customers and increase speed for its production lines. The company also develops regional production platforms for on-demand services.

<img
  className="rounded-3 mb-4 pt-4"
  src="/img/blog/hm-group/05-05.jpg"
  alt="H&M Group"
/>

While increasing efficiency in its merchandise production, H&M has also increased its focus on individualization to keep up with consumer demands.

In summary, we see the new digital printing technologies being used by both large and small companies, in their quest to develop products that are of a higher quality, better looking and cheap to produce. We see the growth potential in these digital systems and are excited about companies like H&M who are joining this movement. We can only hope they will encourage other brands to seek out the advantages of digital printing.

  on demand companies in order to achieve their goals.

many options available for you to choose from. We will highlight
some of the best print on demand websites that are available for you
to choose from.

But, how do you know for sure which print-on-demand company would be
best for you?

#### How to choose the best print-on-demand company?

Print-on-demand companies play a very vital role in making your
business successful. Therefore, you need to make this decision
wisely. We've compiled the top 5 things that you need to consider
before choosing a print-on-demand website.

**1. High-quality Products**

When you are looking for a printing company, it is important to make
sure that they are providing high-quality products.

Many companies offer high-quality products but it is essential to
check the samples before you make your final decision. This way, you
will be able to see how the product will look like when it's printed
and compare it with other companies' samples.

**2. Fast Delivery of Products**

In the age of competition, you need to do more and do it better. The
first step is to keep your customers happy by delivering their
orders on time.

Make sure that your partner with companies who can help you deliver
your products faster and give your customers a way to track their
orders online so they know when it will be delivered.

**3. Costs and shipping rates**

The need to find a company that provides you with affordable
products costs and shipping rates is becoming more and more
important.

Some sellers make a mistake by not calculating their profit margins
and shipping rates. They end up losing money as a result of this.

<img

**4. Customization Options**

Today, there are many print-on-demand companies that offer
customization. This is what allows you to create a product that is
completely unique and will be much more attractive to customers.

If you want to turn your raw vision into reality, you must choose
that print-on-demand site that provides you with multiple
customization options such as size, shape, color and style.

**5. Integration with other platforms**

If you are considering a print-on-demand company, you need to make
sure that they allow integration with the eCommerce platform of your
choice.

For example, if you want to sell your products on Shopify, then it
makes sense to use a print-on-demand company which integrates
seamlessly with Shopify. This way, you can automatically update your
inventory on both platforms and list your products in a single
place.

Now that the basics are out of the way, let’s take a look at some of

</p>

- <a href="#Step8">8. Optimize the landing page</a>
- <a href="#Step9">9. Create an easy checkout process</a>
- <a href="#Step10">10. Automize customer service</a>

<h4 id="Step1">Step 1: Optimize your listings</h4>
The first step you should take is to optimize your listings for the search engines and other similar platforms that allow for it. This includes writing a good title, description, and tags. Invest in your product descriptions.

<h4 id="Step2">Step 2: Sellers should use a professional photo for the product image</h4>
The product image is one of the most important parts of a listing. It is what the customer will see before they make a purchase. Sellers should use professional photos to increase the chances that their products will sell.

A professional photo will make your product stand out among the rest of your competitors. Ultimately, it will help you to get more sales because it will have a better aesthetic and make your product more appealing to buyers.

  alt="Hacks for Sellers"
/>

<h4 id="Step3">Step 3: Keep track of inventory</h4>
It is important to keep track of your inventory so you don’t run out when a customer places an order. This can be done via a spreadsheet or a tool like InventoryLabels, which provides automatic updates on inventory levels as well as notifications when stock levels are low so you can order more products before it’s too late.

<h4 id="Step4">Step 4: Offer free shipping (but know your delivery costs)</h4>
Offering free shipping on your website is a common strategy for online retailers. It can help increase conversion rates, stand out from the competition, as well as encourage customers to buy more products from your store.

It's important that you know your numbers

However, you might be wondering how much it costs to offer free shipping. There are different ways to calculate shipping costs and it can be a complex process to do it right. You need to take into account the weight of the product, size, destination, and any other factors that might affect shipping costs.

<h4 id="Step5">Step 5: Find a niche market</h4>
A niche market is a smaller group of people with a particular interest or activity. So, if you have a niche product then it will be easier for you to find customers who are interested in that product.

If you have a niche product then you will find it easier to find customers who will buy your products. Let's say that you sell dog accessories. You can find potential customers by using the keywords "dog accessories" in the search bar and then use one of the top results to see what they are offering.

If you have a good product, it shouldn't be too difficult to find customers for it.

  alt="Hacks for Sellers"

<h4 id="Step6">Step 6: Create an online store with an eCommerce platform</h4>
If you are looking for a way to sell your products online, an eCommerce platform is a good option. There are many platforms available on the market, so it can be difficult to choose one.

An eCommerce platform is a software that you can use to build and manage your online store. It will help you simplify the process of creating, managing and maintaining your store.

There are many platforms available on the internet that offer different features for different price ranges. Some of the most popular are <a href="https://www.shopify.com/" target="_blank" rel="sponsored noreferrer">Shopify</a>, <a href="https://www.bigcommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="sponsored noreferrer">BigCommerce</a>, and <a href="https://woocommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="sponsored noreferrer">Woocommerce</a>.

<h4 id="Step7"> Step 7: Use social media</h4>
Social media is a great tool for marketing. A lot of people are turning to social media to promote their products. This can be done through a company's social media profile or by using influencers on platforms like YouTube and Instagram. A company's social media profile is a great way to have an interactive experience with the customers and share content that they find interesting or relevant to their interests.

Influencers are another way for companies to market their product on social media. Influencers have a large following and can create content that will be shared by their followers, which will then reach the company's target audience.

Here are some of the reasons why you should use social media to promote your eCommerce website:

<ul>
  <li>It’s free - You can get feedback from your target audience on what they like about your products or what could be improved in them. - It’s easy to start with just one or two social media platforms and then expand later on as necessary.</li>
  <li>You can build an engaged community around your brand and product, which will help you create loyal customers who will keep coming back for more.</li>
</ul>

<h4 id="Step8">Step 8: Optimise the landing page</h4>
A landing page is the most important page on your website. It is the first thing that visitors will see, and it is often the only thing that they will see. In order to get visitors to stick around and explore your website, you need a well-optimised landing page.

The first step in optimising your landing page is understanding what it should do. The role of a landing page varies depending on what stage of the sales funnel you are in. For example, a homepage may consist of content that attracts visitors to learn more about your company and its services or products.

<p className="fs-lg fw-bold text-dark mb-4">
You need to make sure that it is engaging, persuasive and provides social proof.
</p>

Reviews are a great form of social proof, but you should also consider testimonials from experts in your industry or people who have previously bought from you. It is also important to use clear and concise copy so that visitors know what they are getting into before they make a purchase.

<img
  className="rounded-3 mb-4 pt-4"
  src="/img/blog/hacks-sellers/01-04.jpg"
  alt="Hacks for Sellers"
/>

<h4 id="Step9">Step 9: Create an easy checkout process</h4>
One of the most important features of any ecommerce website is the checkout process. It is the last step before the customer makes their purchase and it’s also where they can abandon their cart if they don't feel comfortable with any aspect of your checkout process.

<p className="fs-lg fw-bold text-dark mb-4">
In order to make your checkout process more user-friendly, it is important to keep it simple.
</p>

Customers want to complete their purchase as quickly as possible, and the checkout process should be easy and intuitive. Most ecommerce websites have a standard checkout process, but this doesn't mean that it's necessarily the best one for you. You should always be testing and tweaking your checkout process to find out what works best for you.

<h4 id="Step10">Step 10: Automize your customer service</h4>
Sellers should provide quality customer service in order to build long-term relationships with their customers but is one of the most tedious and time-consuming tasks for any business. It requires a lot of patience, empathy, and understanding. But with automation tools like chatbots, customer service becomes more efficient.

Automating customer service can be done in many different ways. You can use chatbots and virtual assistants to answer simple questions and give customers information about your company, products, or services. You can also use automated phone systems that handle basic questions and requests for information about your company, products or services. You can even automate the entire customer experience by using bots that handle all transactions and interactions on your website without requiring human intervention.

Customer service is not something that can be automated overnight, but with the right tools and processes in place, you can automate your customer service over time. By automating your customer service, you will be able to streamline your process and make it more efficient for both your customers and employees.

#### The Bottom Line
Knowing what works and what doesn't will take some time and experimentation. To succeed, you'll need to persevere through the tough times and not give up too quickly. We hope that these hacks and tips will help you to optimize your POD selling experience.

### Shopify vs WooCommerce: The Ultimate Guide for Dropshipping & Print-on-Demand Store Owners

Alright, so you've got this killer product idea, and you're itching to get it out there. Maybe you're diving into the wild world of dropshipping, or perhaps you're going print-on-demand. Either way, you're faced with this big question: <a href="https://shopify.pxf.io/c/3301265/1061744/13624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Shopify</a> or <a href="https://woocommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">WooCommerce</a>? It's like standing at a digital crossroad. Both roads lead to potentially awesome destinations, but which one's got the scenic route and which one’s got the shortcuts? For anyone just starting out, this is THE big decision. Let's break it down.

<p className="fs-lg fw-bold text-dark mb-4">
The Heart of eCommerce: Shopify and WooCommerce
</p>

At its core, <a href="https://shopify.pxf.io/c/3301265/1061744/13624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Shopify</a> provides a comprehensive and user-friendly environment, especially for those new to the digital marketplace. With in-built features, streamlined designs, and an extensive app ecosystem, it's a ready-to-go solution. On the other hand, <a href="https://woocommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">WooCommerce</a>, a free plugin for WordPress, offers vast customization possibilities, making it ideal for those with a more tech-savvy approach.

#### Pros of Shopify

<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>1. User-Friendly Interface:</strong> <a href="https://shopify.pxf.io/c/3301265/1061744/13624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Shopify</a> offers an intuitive dashboard that even novices can navigate with ease.
</p>

<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>2. Integrated Payment System:</strong> <a href="https://shopify.pxf.io/c/3301265/1061744/13624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Shopify</a> Payments means one less third-party tool, although it also supports other gateways.
</p>

<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>3. Diverse App Ecosystem:</strong> From <a href="https://dropship.me/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Dropship.me</a> for dropshipping to <a href="https://www.printful.com/a/5474641:1fc9bc660cd44e2d4f7dd42401980e4f" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Printful</a> for print-on-demand, you have ample choices.
</p>

<img
  className="rounded-3 mb-4 pt-4"
  src="/img/blog/shopify-vs-woocommerce/01-01.png"
  alt="Shopify Dashboard"
/>

#### Cons of Shopify

<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>1. Monthly Fees:</strong> Unlike <a href="https://woocommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">WooCommerce</a>, which is free to use (though some plugins might charge), <a href="https://shopify.pxf.io/c/3301265/1061744/13624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Shopify</a> has monthly fees that can accumulate, especially if you opt for higher plans or additional apps.
</p>
<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>2. Transaction Fees:</strong> If you don't use <a href="https://shopify.pxf.io/c/3301265/1061744/13624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Shopify</a> Payments, you'll have to pay additional transaction fees. This can eat into your profits, especially for businesses with tight margins.
</p>
<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>3. Less Customization:</strong> While <a href="https://shopify.pxf.io/c/3301265/1061744/13624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Shopify</a> is user-friendly, it doesn’t offer the deep customization capabilities that <a href="https://woocommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">WooCommerce</a> does. Modifying the backend or developing specific functionalities might be restrictive.
</p>
<img
className="rounded-3 mb-4 pt-4"
src="/img/blog/shopify-vs-woocommerce/01-02.png"
alt="Challenges with Shopify"
/>


#### Pros of WooCommerce

<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>1. Deep Customization:</strong> Tailor your store's functionality and appearance, thanks to its open-source nature.
</p>

<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>2. Vast Plugin Universe:</strong> From payment gateways to SEO optimization, there's likely a plugin for everything.
</p>

<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>3. Integrated with WordPress:</strong> Leverage the power of the world's most popular CMS for your store.
</p>

<img
  className="rounded-3 mb-4 pt-4"
  src="/img/blog/shopify-vs-woocommerce/01-03.png"
  alt="WooCommerce Setup"
/>


#### Cons of WooCommerce
<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>1. Steeper Learning Curve:</strong> Being an open-source platform, <a href="https://woocommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">WooCommerce</a> requires a certain level of technical know-how. This can be daunting for beginners.
</p>
<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>2. Maintenance:</strong> You're responsible for updates and backups. Not updating can lead to vulnerabilities, but updating can sometimes break functionalities if not done correctly.
</p>
<p className="fs-lg text-dark mb-4">
<strong>3. Hosting Costs:</strong> While <a href="https://woocommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">WooCommerce</a> itself is free, you need to consider hosting costs, which vary depending on your chosen provider and plan.
</p>

#### Which is Better for Dropshipping and Print-on-Demand?

For dropshipping, <a href="https://shopify.pxf.io/c/3301265/1061744/13624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Shopify</a> takes a slight edge due to apps like Oberlo that streamline the process. Its beginner-friendly interface means you can start dropshipping with less of a learning curve.

When it comes to print-on-demand, both platforms have robust integrations. Shopify partners seamlessly with platforms like Printful and Printify, while <a href="https://woocommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">WooCommerce</a> has a suite of plugins catering to this model.

<p className="fs-lg fw-bold text-dark mb-4">
In Conclusion...
</p>

Your choice between <a href="https://shopify.pxf.io/c/3301265/1061744/13624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Shopify</a> and <a href="https://woocommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">WooCommerce</a> largely depends on your comfort level with technology, the degree of customization you desire, and the specific requirements of your business model. Both platforms have proven their mettle in the eCommerce industry and can undoubtedly cater to the unique demands of dropshipping and print-on-demand entrepreneurs.

So, after all that deep dive into the <a href="https://shopify.pxf.io/c/3301265/1061744/13624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Shopify</a> vs. <a href="https://woocommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">WooCommerce</a> ocean, here's the deal: both have their cool vibes. If you want something straightforward and don’t want to mess with too many techy bits, <a href="https://shopify.pxf.io/c/3301265/1061744/13624" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Shopify</a> might be your jam. But if you're the kind who likes to tinker around, customize stuff, and have some control over the nuts and bolts, <a href="https://woocommerce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">WooCommerce</a> is calling your name. At the end of the day, platforms are just tools – it’s all about how you use them. So pick the one that vibes with you, roll up your sleeves, and get that online store rockin’! 

Remember to incorporate these insights into your unique context and further research each platform's capabilities and recent updates. With the right platform, the sky's the limit for your eCommerce venture! 🚀
