E216: The DTF Revolution - LIVE from Printing United w/ Cole Lundstrom

Print On Demand Cast: Print On Demand Tips and eCommerce Strategies for Selling POD on Etsy, Amazon, and More!

Welcome back to the PODCast!
What does it take to revolutionize the print-on-demand industry from the ground up? Join me and my POD Pal, industry expert Cole Lundstrom, as we unravel his journey from owning a bustling screen printing shop in LA to partnering with Omniprint on a transformative DTF project, Click Peel. Hear firsthand how this new company is set to make high-quality DTF transfers accessible right from home, reshaping the playground for both professionals and hobbyists. Set against the exhilarating backdrop of Printing United 2024 in Las Vegas, this conversation is as vibrant as the trade show itself, offering a glimpse into the cutting-edge technologies that are pushing the boundaries of creativity in apparel decoration.
As we ride the wave of change in the print-on-demand landscape, Cole and I reflect on the industry's shift towards more sustainable business models. Learn how traditional screen printing businesses are transitioning to brokering and consulting, slashing overheads, and enhancing personal income by tapping into local resources. We dissect the benefits of staying ahead of the curve with innovations like DTF, and the critical importance of selling before investing. Our discussion highlights the value of forging strong relationships with local vendors to ensure success in this rapidly evolving market.
Finally, we delve into alternative revenue streams, such as Click Peel's high-quality heat transfers and the lucrative potential of live printing events. Tune in for a dynamic episode packed with practical advice and inspiration that challenges you to think beyond the traditional, unlocking the full potential of the print industry.
