Speaker: Katrina Anderson, Katrina's Craftery
Talk about a client situation where MOQ1 let you say yes when you would've had to say no. What happened, how'd it play out?
Katrina Anderson: So, I recently had a client reach out, and they were doing a Spartan race. So, they were wanting team shirts, just in a small quantity, and MOQ 1 made it easy to just throw their logo that they had onto a store and their team could go on and each order their shirts. And Didn't take me but maybe 5, 10 minutes to get everything up and done, and they were able to order and be super quick, even with just a small order that I didn't want to spend a ton of time on. So, it worked out great, and they're super happy and everything worked perfect.
What's the one MOQ1 feature you can't imagine working without?
Katrina Anderson: I think my favorite feature of MOQ 1 is being able to just upload multiple designs and that the end user can then go through and pick what they want their shirt to look like. They can do it small, they can do it big, they can put it on the front, on the back, and that's made it super easy for my clients that have multiple logos and, and want different things on there that I don't have to individually touch every single product. But just put the designs on and they automatically can switch between them, and it's been amazing.
Be honest — what were you skeptical about before you signed up for MOQ1, and what changed your mind?
Katrina Anderson: At first I was a little skeptical about the ease of use and being able to use the program, and being able to set up the stores as easily as you guys talked about, but it's worked out great. I've been able to go in and adjust things on the fly, as I needed to change colors and different things. And it's been super easy and user friendly to put it all together and, and use it going forward and throw stores together for people that were thinking about a store, but weren't sure, and it has made it super easy to do that, whereas some of the other stores are a little bit more time intensive, so I have to have a client fully on board and and paying for things before that. Where MOQ 1 just lets me do it.
You're having coffee with a colleague who's never heard of MOQ1. What do you tell them — and what would make them try it?
Katrina Anderson: So, I've been using print on demand stores for about a year now, with different clients, and Probably 5 months ago, we decided to jump on the MOQ1 train and try it, as I had a client that wanted some additional options that my original store couldn't fulfill. And it has been awesome. They were super simple to set up, super simple to adapt as my client wanted things changed and things added and things taken down. I really love that we can do featured products up at the top, so that way it puts the client's products that they really wanted to emphasize right at the top with the designs and things that they wanted. And then I also love that the end users are able to go through and still adjust and customize the products for what they want because that client also has a lot of different logos and things that they want out there into the world and so, that's worked really well. And then being able to add the commission and just get the commission checks and not have to worry about sales tax and all of that on my side has been super simple, as well as adding on some commission for my client so that they're making a little bit of money as well. And so it all just comes super easy and it's been great.
Has MOQ1 helped you make more money? If yes, how?
Katrina Anderson: I definitely think that MOQ 1 has helped me make more money. It's helped me to be able to say yes in times when a situation would have not been worth it. Like recently, I had a client that needed some graduation gifts for their lacrosse players, for their seniors, for their senior night, and we were able to throw together a store really quick. They were able to order blankets that they wanted. Each one was able to be customized with the player's name and number, and that just would have been very complicated and more costly somewhere else, and it wouldn't have been in that school's budget. And so it made it super quick, super easy. They also come at the last minute, so the fact that MOQ1 fulfills so fast and shipped so quickly was great. So, I love throwing stores together like that and also being able to Throw bigger stores together and people are able to get those quantity discounts, which they love, and it's been awesome to, to be able to offer that and Be able to make more money without spending a ton more time on everything.
