How I Made 126% ROI with Teespring and Facebook ads.

10 years ago

Alex,

Another great post...can't thank you enough for sharing!

Couple quick questions if I may..?

* What was your initial budget when you started?
* How much would you say is a good ad budget when first starting out?

Thanks,

Ray

I don't have a budget at ALL to invest in Facebook Ads, but could try with making a Facebook fan page or something. I would have to study and make images and see if I can do the first few sales for "free", as in time-investment pay and see what happens before I expand to paid ads.

My question is this...

How will you drive traffic to the fan page in order to get those first few sales?

I ask because, I'm in the same boat...don't have ANY FUNDS ATM to invest in ads on FB!

You are more than welcome! I usually tell people that 500$ is a good starting point.

Sure that can work as well!

Example would be putting the price of the shirt on the ads or not. changing the color of the background. Different shirts on the ads... you want to be eye catching! It's all About sales!

What would you say are the best converting headlines for your ads?

Do you just say something like "Check out these awesome t-shrits"?

you could message other people to join your page or invite your friends. if you post interesting thing, people will start sharing your post on their own timeline. Also posting on other pages is great to drive traffic.

Thanks, and is there any difference between setting the obj to "website conversions" vs "getting clicks to website"

Does it help with lowering your CPC? And are you using OCPM?

Congrats on your success and earnings! I'm watching a ton of videos on youtube and learning a lot regarding Teespring and FB.

Can you still be profitable by using Teespring ads only without a fan page/fan base? I hear different opinions that you can. Just curious.

And can you do newsfeeds without a fan page?

Newsfeed needs a fanpage, you can advertise without a fan page but only on the right side.

Once you pick a niche you need a winning design. You probably should outsource your design unless you are very good with photoshop. Your shirt needs to look professional if you want anybody to buy it. You are looking around 10-15$ per shirt for a quality design.

I am not a Photoshop expert. Are there any individuals you would recommend?

Thanks a lot for this post

I use age, sex, interest and location. Split test everything. I try different design, not everything will work first time.
If you have a solid design and a passionate market, than you are at the marketing step. Try different ads image, different copy and split test everything. Remember that not every shirt campaing will work!

Originally Posted by a7xmastaa

you need to input a sequence of 13 numbers in your teespring campaign. if you open your facebook ads dashboard, click on conversion tracking on the left. Than click view pixel code. A window will pop up. on the 4th line you will see this:

fb_param.pixel_id = "00000000000"

copy only the number, thats your tracking code for teespring. put those numbers on your shirt campaing, you should have a tracking code link to click on your teespring dashboard, if you dont email teespring support they will add it.

Put an ad on odesk or elance. try a few different freelancer and keep the best one. you should pay around $15-$20 per shirt.

Doesnt change the price but you know which ads convert and which doesnt.

You can add it yourself, if you dont have the shortcut on your teespring dashboard, email teespring support, they will add it for you and add the shortcut on your dashboard.

I do not see a tracking code link in my teespring dashboard.
I only see a track order button... and I know that is not for tracking code.

I also have emailed teespring support 2 times already.. and I did not get any reply at all...

I just want to share with you what I've learn and hopefully give you the boost to get started too! Below is a screenshot of my earning with only 1 shirt. It has still one day left to the campaign so I'm definitely looking to sell some more.

This is ONLY one of my campaign! On this one i'm making about 17$ per shirt, you can see on the facebook ads that im spending about $7.4 per conversion. But also, some people will buy 2 shirts or will click on my link without clicking on my ads. So my profits per shirt is in fact higher than that.

The success recipe is pretty simple:

You find a niche with passionate people. Right now, you see a lot of sports team, Superbowl, guns regulation, Pitbulls! Any of those are being use right now because people are passionate about those subject. People will buy with their emotion, not their brain.

Once you pick a niche you need a winning design. You probably should outsource your design unless you are very good with photoshop. Your shirt needs to look professional if you want anybody to buy it. You are looking around 10-15$ per shirt for a quality design.

Select your audience by age, sex, interest and location. Than split test everything. Different ad copy, different audience, different picture. Remember, not every campaign will be winner. Ride with your winner until the end.

Rinse and repeat.

I hope that this will give some of you the motivation to get started!

Alex

And that campaign was #...? Probably ain't your very first one as you said to test stuff, etc...

Oh and was that a right column ad or a newsfeed ad?

I gotta say I had my doubts about Teesprings. But I thought why not give it a go.

I started my first campaign on Sunday and I'm AMAZED. I hit my target of 100 (I'm a 100+ now) in 2.5 days with revs hitting almost $3000. I still have 4.5 days left to go.

And, I made some stupid errors like text on the back of the t-shirt. That's eaten into my profits and it doesn't add any value to my customers.

My fan-page has over 1000+ likes and I've already got the next design ready after feedback from peeps who liked my page.

If there's no traffic check your demo. I had this problem when I ran a sponsored news story. For some reason the demo was < 1000 but 1.6m on Page Post.

If you use manual CPC you will have a lot more control on your expenses. OCPC maximize the click until youre all spend out. SO when the cost of the click goes up in the late afternoon, you ride with them and ends up spending more per conversions.

But for your traffic problem, It could be a lot of things: Audience Size, CTR, daily budget particulary When using Optimized bid, facebook will spread your spending over time.

Can I see your page? How did you do it? How many posts did you have before you started having some fans?

I'm struggling to build likes. I tried FB ads with obj 'page likes' but only got ZERO likes. I ended up buying fake likes for $5 on fiverr hoping that'll generate organic fans.

It could be luck but I think it's down to planning.

I picked a trending niche and designed a t-shirt that was very funky.

Then I sent the "fans" that link. The sales have tapered a bit now.

For newsfeed ads, a CTR around 10% is not unusual. Especially, when the niche is "trending" and the targeting selected by you is very specific. If my campaign has a CTR lower than 3-4%, I pause it.

Although, and the end of the day it's about ROI and not CTR. So if you are making profit then that's what matters.

No kidding...

Get real, if you want something from someone who has talent you need to pay them real money... don't know what it is you want but any custom design that requires a drawing of some kind you need to be at least in the $100 - 200 range..

if you just want clip art and some type to go with it for a tee spring product for example you can do that yourself..

yes, Teespring will automatically adjust as if your original goal was 40 items.

Great job by the way, if you surpassed your goal!

I do not see a tracking code link in my teespring dashboard.
I only see a track order button... and I know that is not for tracking code.

I also have emailed teespring support 2 times already.. and I did not get any reply at all...

Yes they have been taking linger than usual to respond lately. Thy updated a lot of things on the website. Same thing with facebook ads, they are updating their ads interface!

I wouldnt use fiver, Odesk or elance is your best bet i think. You can get a really good graphiphic designer working for you at 20$/ design if they are fearly simple. just shop around.

  For goal drop, normally They will reduce your sales for around 5 -20 shirts.
  I did call them, teespring said they will act like your goal is 10...they need to drop enough number of sales to balance the money.

Not exactly. You will get paid for all 40 shirts based on the cost basis of your goal (in this case 10). On top of that you will get a bonus for the 30 shirts that exceed your goal. That bonus is about 75 or 80% of what you would have made had you set your goal to 40 to begin with. But again, the bonus is only for the shirts that exceed your goal.

Here's an example for a 2-color basic tee selling at $19.99.

Goal of 50 with 50 sales: $10.74 profit per tee ($536 total profit)
Goal of 200 with 200 sales: $12.44 profit per tee ($2487 total profit)
Goal of 50 with 200 sales: $2352 total profit (see explanation below)

Difference in profit per shirt: $12.44 - $10.74 = $1.70
Bonus factor: 80% of $1.70 = $1.36

So put that all together...

Goal of 50 with 200 sales:
Base Earnings = $2148 (200 shirts x $10.74)
Bonus Earnings = $204 (150 shirts x $1.36)
Total Earnings = $2352 ($2148 + $204)

Some questions:

How do you scale this thing? For example, if you are making $400 for every $100 spent. Then how do you scale it to $4,000?

I see raising budget drastically increases your CPC ( about 60% avg. ). How you cope with that? Or any specific strategy.

Just an idea as I am one of the new ones here - but what about creating separate ad campaigns?

For example split the total budget of $1000 into ten separate campaigns, each with a daily budget of 100. (10 x $100)

If anyone can confirm this as a good idea or correct me I´d appreciate it!!

raising budget doesnt raise your CPC, it is you CTR that will influence your CPC. Budget is just what you allow to be spend over a day. To scale things up, you need a bigger audience or more shirts

not neccessarly cuz your CTR will dictate how much you pay per click, if you multply your ad, you will show the same ads to the same people wich will result in a lower CTR and higher CPC.

I've been scrambling youtube and the internet for the past weeks to learn about teespring and so far almost all teespring case studies that are really successful occured in 2013 until about April 2014. I have NOT seen successful teespring case study after June 2014

Is this thing still working? Facebook ad interface has changed too. There's no "precise interest" now. Can you shade some light please. Are you still running teespring successfully? (is it better or not since the first time you started?)

I've created 9 campaigns so far. 1 campaign is still running with 0 sale so far (about 1 or 2 days left). 7 campaigns fell flat with ZERO sales. And 1 campaign had 1 sale but was suspended on the second day of campaign due to trademark. I spent about 50 dollars so far of FB ads and countless hours of research with ZERO sales... *frustrated*

Hi smodha,

Sounds like trends is working out great for you. You should write up a report nad sell it, if it doesn't affect your personal strategy.

As far as earning $14K but $8k/$7,400 was profit, so are you saying you spent around $6k in advertising? Just trying to understand.

If so, that's a pretty big ad budget you'd need for just a couple weeks but, I'd take ~$8k profit any day, even if I had to spend $6k to get it lol

I'm running profitable campaigns but nothing big yet...hopefully I'll get there soon!

$14,000 is revenue - this doesn't include my base costs which is about $19.99/hoodie.

$8,000 is gross profit with $600 expenses = $7,400 profit.

You cannot target people that like specific page with standard targeting on facebook. You need to use a facebook scrapper. Here's a link to a Video Tutorial i made that will show you step by step how to do it.Beginner guide on how to create a Teespring Campaign - Teespring Shirts -

LOL - I'm not asking anyone to do anything. We live in a free world (well at least I do).

If you don't have money to invest in your business then go get a job because TeeSprings is a REAL business. Not all my campaigns are successes - some do fail but I carry on going and make the next one better.

I didn't create the OP but it contains everything you need to start making money with TS/FB PPC. If you don't believe that then you are the one who's dreaming...

BTW, most people say that 20-40$ per design is enough to test and know if you've got a winner...But is it really?

So those who have success with teespring and fb ads, how do you spread your test budget? 20$ on 1 image/description? 20$ on 2 images & description?

I am asking because it got me thinking that if a winning design is tested with a bad newfeed ad or a bad text above it...or by using the wrong objective, then 20$ is just too low to properly test and therefore equal a failed campaign.

Or is it that nomatter what the image looks like, the text says...If the design is a winner, it'll make sales anyway?

Teespring is still working. I've got a couple campaigns that are absolutely killing it as we speak and I'm doing better now than I've ever done. The key is to build a page of hungry buyers and market the shirts aggressively to them. Buying likes from Fiverr won't get you buyers. It'll get you fake likes. I'm buying likes from Facebook for a penny per like. I've got 2,000 coming in per day right now and a lot of them are engaging with the page.

If you're running campaigns that are getting hit with trademark claims, you're in the wrong market. I'm guessing sports teams? Those markets have been hammered by every marketer out there. Look for niches that haven't been hammered and you'll do much, much better.

Sure...I created a handful of catchy memes that really resonate with my target audience. I then created a LIKES campaign using those memes. Once the campaign started running, I turned off the ads for the memes that were too expensive and fine-tuned the ad copy for the ones that were getting inexpensive likes.

I got the first couple thousand or so likes for around a penny each. The cost has since gone up to $0.02 to $0.03 per like, which I'm still more than happy to pay. I've been running the ad for 10 days now and have nearly 10,000 likes. Total cost so far: Just over $200 bucks.

The nice thing is I now have a targeted group I can advertise to with my next shirt that isn't available as an interest in Facebook targeting. The $200 I've spent so far will be more than recouped in added shirt sales.
