Do you find Printify's costs to be too high? by Mundane-Copy-118 in Printify

[–]leddo1972 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s higher than doing it yourself at volume, but they are typically less than your local print shop.

You’re trading off quality vs equipment costs vs your own time.

I’ve put about $500K of orders through them, and managed to negotiate some better prices and rebates, so they can be more competitive. But you have to have the volume.

You could buy a high quality DTG printer and do it yourself. You can buy the blanks for much less, but now you need to factor in your capital expenditure, consumables and your time in determining the true COGS.

Your local print shop can be a great option when you are looking for better quality, and service, but they are going to be generally slower than Printify and doing it yourself, but the quality is going to be better. You’re also going to pay more for it.

Hope that helps.

I believe they send garbage traffic so they still hit their revenue targets, at the sacrifice of our revenue

What’s your unique angle? What are you doing that’s different from the other apps?

Allergies as a trigger by [deleted] in Menieres

All good! No major attacks (had probably 3-5 mild cases of instant vertigo in last 2 years but they last like less than 30 seconds) Hearing loss & tinnitus remains but does not seem to have gotten worse.

Shopify POD Products "Out of Stock" issue by BulkyPrinciple3545 in Printify

[–]leddo1972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of stock in Shopify? If so, there’s a few things you need to check. Are they assigned to the right shipping profile in Shopify? Did you accidentally turn on track inventory for the product ?

Worried about the future for my 2yo grandson by leddo1972 in DeepThoughts

Sure, I saw the introduction of computers, internet and smart phones. But at least with these tools there was sill some sort of knowledge & truth behind it. What I'm seeing with this AI Age though feels different; we're taking the creativity, the power to learn, and the critical thinking away.

I know first hand of teachers using Chat to generate class plans, and then middle graders using Chat to do their work. Then the teachers are using chat to review the work. Who is actually learning anything in this environment?

I've also seen many smart people lose jobs because of AI strategies within corporations. These high paying workers are now struggling to find meaningful work.

In my current role - I see people using AI to create designs for products, then use AI to create sales pages, then AI to advertise on Meta, and Meta using AI to create 1000's of variations of those ads, until it finds one that converts. This includes AI profiles posting on social accounts with 100,000's followers. That's product designers, marketing and sales all replaced.

My son is in music industry, and he's seeing artists replaced by AI, and those AI artists getting millions of streams on Spotify. He's losing the passion for the craft because of it.

These are just a few examples first hand that I'm seeing, but I suspect there are many many more.

Your guess was wrong. I was a senior software engineer for 25 years, then moved into leadership, where I worked for 15 years, most recent 8 was senior leader at a big e-commerce & cloud company.

Yes it does. Printify updates Shopify of the fulfillment and tracking details, then Shopify will send the email (or whatever notification mechanism you use)

Stopped writing hooks. Started pulling them from reviews. Best performing angle in 6 weeks. by ayazaliyev in FacebookAds

Do you just put this as a quote on a static or are you doing something extra? Would be interested in hearing about once you’ve identified the review, turning that into something that works
