Thank you SO much Mey! I literally live 12 km from their headquarter and didn't even know about them. I was
like WHAT!
That's so cool !!!
Thank you so much I stopped designing on AOW because I didn't know how to go about it no matter how many times I tried. I found the platform rather hard to navigate especially with the measurements and so after watching this video designing has been fun. Watching you from Kenya!!!
Hi Mey! I am watching this video since I'm new on AOW and I don't know if someone tells you or if you find already but there's also "Le Galeriste" that provides fabrics by the meter. It's based in Montreal too. It's a bit different, since they don't allow us to fully customize items, they do for us with the images we upload. Also, there is an exclusivity close in the contract with them, which means you cannot sell the same image on others platforms and a limited upload unless you sell for 1000$ so... it's not as friendly as others POD platforms, but they have great quality products, I love the tote bag I order with one of my photography on it. Thank you for all your videos, very helpful and fun to watch :)
Yeah, I've heard about Le Galeriste, I remember seeing that their scarves were super expensive though... Still haven't checked the price for the artists, maybe I should
Thanks May for the review, been enjoying learning along with your videos. We started using AOW last year and have really enjoyed the products. Very high quality. We are starting a higher end brand and have about 12 or so designs on multiple products from kimonos to yoga pants and the samples we have ordered have been excellent. We are now about ready to take it to our own store and begin the process of truly branding... wish us luck!
Totally Totally wishing you luck
love a dm too and look at your shop
This video is in my Fave Saved file! Your idea for kimonos and underwear sets is very cool! I have a hummingbird and origami print I'm working on that would look AWESOME as a set. I want them...now! LOLOL. Ohhhh the possibilities!!!
Yeah, Art of Where is truly a POD marketplace that inspires
Zazzle has fabrics too I believe. I'm looking into them, I'm still not sure what I want to do, I started creating planners on KDP, so something related eventually, but I'm still learning that, so it has to wait... Until that, I'm trying to implement what I've learnt from you about Pinterest marketing. ❤️
Zazzle's speciality is that the products are customizable, so you can design something that has also a name on it for example, and anyone can switch that name out to their own. I like that they pay royalty, which is much easier for legal and tax purposes than if you're the seller and you pay them a fee. I believe both RB and Etsy have the later business model. Oh, I wish I had more time. You're giving me so much inspiration. ☺️ I like that AOW has pencil cases, and the bags look awesome too. 😍
Yeah, I know about Zazzle and fabrics, also a lot of other platforms have fabrics... And the commission part with Zazzle is def easier for taxes, although it's also like that in about 40 other POD marketplaces (in every POD marketplace actually).
Not sure what you mean by RB and Etsy's business model- as Etsy is a "mall" with 0 products made by Etsy, and RB is a supplier with a marketplace, can you explain ?
@@MeyTribe Sorry if I wasn't clear. I only meant, that for tax purposes, YOU pay them fees, and not THEY pay you commission. So for your taxes, and if you need to write invoices by law, you need to cover the whole price, not just the part they paid you. If you can deduct expenses then the fee can appear there I suppose. But in the EU there's the complication of who has to pay VAT for the fees (need VAT id or not?, Administration?), which I still don't understand completely, though discussed with an accountant several times. And also for physical products, if you're the seller legally, at least in my country, there are different legal requirements, I think it is more complicated (especially internationally), and means more administration=more time.
For RB I'm not sure I'm right, because I'm not native English speaker, but they have a line in their terms I understand this way. Which surprised me, because other POD marketplaces, like Society6, or Zazzle, pay commission or royalty.
Good morning and thank you for the extremely informative video! I've been looking into adding an online shop to my artist website for some time now but found art of where a bit overwhelming in choice apparel. Your suggestions were a real game changer for me! Thanks again!
I think that the most important thing for you, if you want to be selling these items on your own platform with your own brand name- is just to test order several products and see that they do arrive in good quality- and your choices would be made even easier :)
Your videos have Givin me so many ideas. Keep up the great work.
Just don't get too many ideas LOL than acting on them is confusing
@@MeyTribe I'll try not to lmfao
Been on AOW a few months now. I love designing kimonos, as I practically live in them. Not sold anything on there yet, but I need to expand my portfolio on there. Thanks again for another great video. Wish I looked that good at 6 in the morning. ;)
Well, if you wake up at 2 am and do your makeup LOL
and yeah, they are so much fun! I am thinking I will start a shop there too instead of finding time to design for RB....
Did you order any of their kimonos?
@@MeyTribe No, I buy all my kimonos cheap and second hand. I like the old vintage type - you can find them sometimes on Ebay, for not too much money. I do like the look of AOW notebooks though - so may get a couple of them.
@@BohemiaLost Ohhh so true!! I love that they have dot grids, couldn't find many suppliers with that
Thanks for this video! It’s very helpful!
Just saw your comment on the other vid... I feel I need to apologize for making the platform looks so awesome LOL
I am going All In to Art Of What! I mean Where😄😄😄
I am super obsessed with them too !!! I am looking forward to a day off to just work on my store there
Exactly what I was thinking, kimonos and underwear! 😀
They are truly the most unique items LOL
@@MeyTribe They really are. I'm playing catch up again! Took a couple of weeks away to do the move and get organised 🙂
I have created at least 10 designs on kimono a couple weeks ago. I even ordered one myself and I really love the fabric, it feels so smooth on the skin. I have doubt about the pricing as well because they’re kinda expensive compared to a $20 t-shirt on Redbubble like you said, and they don’t have mock ups with real model wearing it so it’s kinda hard to advertise. I find pictures of people wearing the stuff look more engaging. I also have failed to find kimono mock ups on other sites so I’m a little bit worried about the marketing part. But I hope things go well for everyone.
I totally feel ya... I was also looking for Kimono mockups so hard and couldn't find much.
And yeah, they are def not cheap, but their quality makes them something "else"... It's why I was thinking they will be more suitable for a print on demand Shopify store, and not on Etsy, to show the LUX thing.
Yen! How did the kimono come out? I want to design one and get one. Was it worth it? Which fabric is the see through beach type kimono? Any help would be great!
Thanks this looks really interesting.
I just found a POD platform that sells fabric, wallpaper and other decor. Spoonflower. I haven't had time to look real close at it yet. Looks promising from what I see so far.
The only thing with Spoonflower is that some of the fabrics start to fade and/or pill (get little fuzzies) after a few months of use & washing. I'm interested to see how AOW compares in that regard. I haven't heard anything bad about Spoonflower's wallpaper, though.
I think I saw that Zazzle does fabric, but I haven't checked it out.
I am looking into them as well, thinking maybe to make a video about making fabrics with POD LOL they look adorable !
You give me so many ideas Daniela, I didn't even have the time to fully check zazzle, SO MANY ITEMS!!!!
Thanks for another great video. I like their design tool and I would be happy with 25% commission.
Yeah, their design tool is super cool, I love the layering. Though I would def love just a repeat button option LOL
So with Art of Where, can you just sell on their platform without integrating another shop? That’s where I got lost, lol! Thanks for another great video Mey! By the way you look so happy in this video. The mountain air suits you well! Hope you are well! Cheers!
The mountain airrrrr ohhhh the best skin care ever!
And it's both- their own marketplace or you choose to integrate.
Hiya, please can you make a tutorial on the kimonos? I'm struggling to see how to access any other style other than the kimono on the design lab or to find a decent quality mock up following design. Thank you in advance 🙏💗
Well, I wanted to make more AOW videos as I was focusing on my shop there, before they closed their marketplace.. so- sorry, with the current 200 video requests on major topics like marketing and design techniques, and with me not selling on their marketplace anymore (like everyone) I will not be making a deep dive into a single item. Sorry hun
@@MeyTribe that is fair dos, thank you for getting back to me:)
Hi. Thank you for this video However, I am having a lot of issues trying to get the DPI right for anything I create and upload. I really enjoyed the old site much better. The new one makes it not very easy..
Is the old site the one before this tutorial, or in this tutorial it's already the old ? (Cause in what I recorded, and from what I have seen since it was super easy to adjust the DPI- it's very clear if you're DPI is sufficient or not)
Hi Mey, thanks for great content. I wanted to know how I can use art of where with etsy to create personalized listing. It will be highly appreciated if you can create a tutorial for it. Thanks in advance!
The integration doesn't allow for personalization as an automated thing - as far as I know. but I def need to check that with AOW.
From what I've seen the easiest platform for personalization in the automated Etsy integration is Printful.
I sold their items om etsy and other platforms about 7-8 years ago, and profit was minimum and then went to non existent when etsy opened to public and allowed all kind of products, so I closed my store about 5-6 years ago, because affort no worth profit. That is in general the case with print on demand, you put so much efforts and the peanuts you make wanna make you cry. If you work in McDonalds all the time that you spend on POD and marketing - you would make x1000 more money.
I can totally relate to that. Especially with AOW- as I believe their items are SO expensive for normal marketplaces., If I were to use them that would be on a Shopify store, selling them with a huge profit, high ticket prices, and doing all the product photos myself, after ordering the items, no mockups. Like a true-high fashion brand., Cause with Etsy, and these prices- there's very little chance of making it work.
Are you doing POD today anywhere ?
Wow here it is nearly a whole year later, and i just now noticed this video of yours, this sounds interesting for sure, but are all of the images all only half done, me personally i don't like this option, so does a designer have options to change this to a fuller image?
Is there a list of shipping costs per product for Art of Wear?
Was gonna answer that you should just place things in your cart and see for yourself. Then I thought- wait, maybe there's an answer on Art of where!
So I searched their site- and they give he exact same answer I'm afraid
artofwhere.com/help/shipping/order-ship-cost
Excellent review, thank you! Do you know of any suppliers that print pins?
You mean enamel pins that are die cut in shape? or normal pins? Cause RB and Teepublic have the usual pins. I also remember seeing special shaped enamel pins, but I don't remember where, I would search :)
@@MeyTribe Sorry, yes. The enamel pins. I ended up finding a few last night but that’s one item where they seem to want you to purchase a large quantity…
can you just design fabric only also cowcow is another print on demand
Totally gonna check them out :)
Funny found out art of where is from
Canada, they speak French and I'm French Canaidian Jamaican American indigenous 7th generation metis and Ive never been to Canada. This year my friend first time and seeing my real
Dad That abandond me cause I'm
Disabled for 29 years. This year July 13th ill travel
There. I am curious about his the products are made. I am too protective over animals. I am not sure they do labor work, I'm not sure they harmed animals making the products. Don't want labor work and animal cruelty. Is it really worth it 13:17
DO YOU KNOW KNOW WHICH AUTOMATION UPLOADER I CAN USE TO UPLOAD MY DESIGNS?
Can you make some videos how you make design using programs? some new ideas on videos idea I wanna share.
Thanks a lot for your information but there are lots of pixels in this site which program you prefer for graphics .
Not really sure what you mean by a lot of pixels... Are you seeing the website pixelated?
no I don,t know about this ... thanks for your information ,you are so much helpful...
@@mapacsdream7716 I’m confused… you don’t know what you asked ? (As I didn’t understand your original question)
If somebody noticed the problem that the quality of mockups that are produced by Art of Where is lower than what ETSY asks for?
The quality or the pixel size ?
Cause most POD websites create a photo that is too small for Etsy (That's why it's important to use external mockups like with placeit, or create a collage or a bigger image from what you did get from the supplier.
Contrado is anoother option.
Oh wow, I remember I saw them once but forgot where I saved their link !!! Thanks :)
Hey, Mey. I'm just curious. Is your last name the same as the Spanish "Arroyo"?
Well, yes & no.
It's a Spanish origin name, that my family carried out when they moved to Bulgaria ages ago. (Feels weird being in Bulgaria with a Bulgarian origin and being so clueless about Bulgarian language LOL)
May i ask do you sell much on art of where?
Starting to.
Had some experiments with designs, made an order to test out the quality:
ua-cam.com/video/ZrWRU7lGMq4/v-deo.html
And now looking into exactly what style items i want to upload and how to market them.
Trying to piece it together with Society6, and with a new Jigsaw puzzle project I am working on.
For sizing do they do it in inches or is it UK and USA?
From what I can tell I saw it in inches, but if you're unsure just message them and ask.
I think that contacting a potential supplier with question is a good way to test out their customer service in advance :)
Do yoycol?
Do yoycol do what ?
how much branding costs ??
I think I saw it was about $1 to make your own clothing label, and another $1 for branding on the package.
@@MeyTribe Thanks for your effort ! keep it up
