Congrats...but you didn't share anything that anyone could learn from.

The key is targeting. I see that the most effective teespring/Facebook campaigns right now are name targeting, sports team targeting and profession targeting.

Congrats, I hope you don't mind sharing, I have only 3 question that's all! Because I've tried several times my clicks were 8c, pretty cheap but couldn't work up, no sales after 80 clicks. Not sure what's goes wrong, if my design or what.

I wanted to ask, did you use news feed?
Is the design really outstanding?
Also are you designing by trends, your question could help me a lot thanks!

[DELETED]

I'm on interest targeting myself. Here's one example of an ad running at the moment, notice the CTR:


Let me just add, that's not a huge audience, it's just about 32k/ one country!

The whole Teespring thing is awesome. I'm addicted to watching my FB campaign stats sort of like how someone would watch the stock market.

I haven't succeeded at any campaigns yet and have failed at a few. Whatever, I think that's normal. I'm still going though.

Basically I'm trying to find hungry consumers who are really into certain niches. I'm trying to target consumers that haven't really been bombarded with T-shirt ads (this is getting harder).

Could someone please recommend the best strategy for CPC/CPM optimization? Clicks to website? Website conversion? oCPM or oCPC?

I've just been using page-post engagement with a fan page and I've been seeing CTR's above 5% but mediocre sales Sales are all that matter!

I personally prefer CPC.
With the oCPM i don't see the point.
It's the same as CPM, it just has a statistics of how much you paid for each conversion...it's not like it won't charge you if you don't make any sales.

You just keep trying and you will succeed

I could never get CPC to work. I do OCPM then CPM afterwards.

Conversions can show for any bidding style, but OCPM uses Facebook's internal data to display the ads.

I ran CPM and got nice results but you must be careful with it.
It can burn through the budget easily

Need to try oCPM again.
How do you test a campaign with oCPM?
Do you go to a certain amount, as with the CPC?

Grrrrr! Had to vent.. have a shirt that's getting all the Likes in the world, and even more so, Shares with comments that are showing a bunch of people Want my shirt and that they plan to buy it, or saying they gotta get this, or they're buying this for their sons, and so on.. but no sales so far. I guess what frustrates me is that while it's great to see Shares and Likes that show my shirt is desired, there's absolutely NO way for me to be able to contact any of these Shares and Likes to remind each person to buy the shirt when it's close to ending. It's like seeing money on a table in front of you yet you can't even reach out to grab it at all. All of this resulting from a PPE campaign. The link is there clearly for them above the fold, the call to action clear as day, but people are comment happy but still not buying it. lol

i never made even 1 tspring sale.

Interesting, thanks for the post. I have a buddy making some good money on teespring.

If people love it and have to buy it, do they click through then see the price and don't?

My advice is simple, treat every teespring like a one night stand. Get in, get what you want and get out. If you can't close the deal, who cares, put up 2 more campaigns with 2 more designs.

New people get way too hung up ONE thing. "My ONE shirt didn't work". Screw one. Go for 100 tries instead.

Sometimes the moon and stars just don't align and it fails. But you only fail when you stop trying.

@global

On that particular campaign was only 1 color.
It wasn't about it. It was just the audience that likes and shares it, but nobody buys it.
There always will be such audiences, and the key is to recognize it and just drop the campaign and move on.

global - how long before you decide its not worth it to continue buying traffic for a shirt? after $20 spent? $50? $100?

I think setting the post in a niche page with a decent number of likes helps. Which page did you make the post in?

Congrats OP, you got success on the internet!

Congrats! Really good to read a success stories as yours.

Hi there, how much was your total spend to get 150 sales? And how long was that campaign?

Global, what's your niches? sports? music?

Hey,
Thank you @globalexperts for this share (y) good luck on futur friend,

I want to star my first campaign on facebook and i have a plugins for I can export the audiences.. you can tell me my friend some advices for I star my first sucess campaign, ex: Hot T-shirt topic, number of audience (max and min) for the ad some advice ex the best one on ads facebook, conversion or only clic.. and thank you so much.

Regards,

I'm on 300+ at the moment

Got another campaign tipped off! 105/100 sales. Spent around $500 on ads.

Guys, what's worked best for you? Putting pictures on the t-shirts or only texts?

Quick question - are you guys creating a FB page specifically for one shirt, or for many shirts? How exactly is the FB page set up? I've been trying to follow this whole teespring campaign idea but I'm just a tad confused on this one aspect!

I've decided to go with a Website Conversion campaign for my first test-run. Does this mean I should also be bidding on Website Conversions or should I be using CPC instead?

I'm bidding for website conversions since that's my goal, and that equates to oCPM. I'm getting more positive results with oCPM than manual bidding...

Alright, I might have to try that! Thank you~ oh, and I took your advice and made one single fanpage for all of my t-shirts. Doing a little promotion to see if I can get some likes and liking other pages on Facebook to try and bring in some more fans. I'm just wondering if maybe the page is too broad for people to like... because my t-shirts so far have been from a couple of different niches. But I've also seen lots of t-shirt fanpages and websites that just have t-shirts that cater to everyone so I don't know...

Having just one FP for shirts as well as setting up a separate FP for each niche works well. We've added thousands of likes on both strategies just on the fanpages themselves, so I see no difference really in terms of sales.

But, about 80%-90% I like to set up a separate FP as you never know, you could stumble upon a "golden niche" that you want to eventually get into for the long haul and build out the FP.

Reaching out to fanpage owners work, but I'd rather pay ads and dial in my targeting. We've had a few fanpage owners send us a "media kit" to advertise on their page but we haven't taken advantage of that yet. If the fanpage gets a lot of engagement and activity and it's targeted, then try negotiating with the fanpage owner on a CPA basis, or for every sale they get X amount.

Hi , can somebody help me out here.. I'm just curious as to how facebook charges for the ads. Do they take money straight out of your account?

I am reading that you guys are like spending up to $1,000 on ads? how are you affording this lol, I know your making a profit overall but how can you afford to spend over a grand on this and have to wait like a week or something before teespring pay you back unless.. teespring pay straightaway?

*I know this is probably a stupid question, but i'm scared facebook is gona start drying out my account before I can get anything back from teespring.

What kinda numbers are you targetting on average in hobbies? Just launched my 3rd campaign and i noticed a hobby tee that tipped like crazy within a day and is still selling like crazy so i took inspiration from that and created my own design. The audience is 26k and I'm not sure if this is too little or actually a good amount. I'm hoping i can at least make one sale in this campaign so i can get some sense of accomplishment and keep working at it.

EDIT: It's doing way better then my last two campaigns, but still no sales. Fingers crossed for tomorrow. Only $1.40 spent so far.

Definitely don't need $1,000. If you've got some training and knowledge, then you can get going with about $100 to $300 or so. You may "lose" all of it, or you might come upon a winner that you can put your budget into, cash out, re-invest and launch again.

We start most of our campaigns with just $15. No sale, we end it. Look into doing the same for your campaigns.

I'm beginning to get near that stage of discouragement. Launched my third campaign a couple days ago. I was excited about this one. I did my research, the design was great and it was in a good niche that has not been exploited much but has been selling tons. The ad was being shared a lot and had plenty of likes and people were showing great interest in the shirt... So i kept waiting for a sale because it felt like it was just gonna happen anytime now. But no sales . I guess I'm just confused about what I did wrong. I keep thinking there is just some secret formula to targeting. I pretty much laser targeted this campaign as much as i could and most people sharing and liking were actually the people i wanted to target so everything seemed like it was done correctly.

Congrats my friend! I hope plenty more success comes to you!

Are birth year campaigns still working for some of you guys? I just saw another successful birth year campaign.

Maybe an old campaign and they just relaunch it

Those profit numbers are actually not that bad, well done!Also, if you cant scale up with the current campaign I would just leave it on autopilot and diversify into another product to boost your profit. Rinse and repeat is the key here

Nick

Day parting is fine if you're using straight CPM or CPC... but if you're using OCPM, I wouldn't mess with the campaign if you plan to run it for a long time, otherwise you'll mess with the algorithim and your results won't be consistent.

Try Page Post Engagement too if OCPM and website conversions are not working for you.

Also your niches are political but you have to ask the question, "do these people wear t-shirts?"

Very good topic, thanks for all information.

How much are you currently earning from Teespring, guys?

You can do name campaigns, you just can't use custom audiences with them.



PPE is page post engagement. It means you have a post on a page and want people to interact with it. You pay for likes, shares and comments. People get confused with this type in saying they're paying very little for "clicks" but those clicks are not always clicks on a link off Facebook.

OCPM is just a bidding type. It's optimized CPM and you pay per 1,000 impressions of your ad. Facebook is supposed to optimize it to show to the "best" audience they can find. You need to use a conversion tracking pixel to make it work best and I've found it really kicks in after 25 to 100 conversions.

However, you can place a tracking pixel for any bidding type or ad type. Then view it in the reports. Only when you setup "Website Conversion" campaigns do the conversions show on the main dashboard in your ad account.

Pause the first ad and start new adsets with your converting demo... we like to break it down to 5 year age groups... not all the time however.

Hey guys! I just found a way to further boost my Teespring campaign ROI. I just got 2 sales after just spending about $1.05 on ads. I'm earning $12 per shirts so that is about 2,300% ROI which is CRAZY!!! Here's my current progress:

[DELETED]

Wow, your frequency is over 1.7 already on a reach of just 34? I'm guessing you're using either CA's, Retargeting, or small PI audience.

Tell me I'm right? Or tell me I'm wrong ... you don't have to say the exact strategy if you'd rather not.

Very good job ! ...

Very good job ! Congrats to you !

Can you share me some experience in Facebook Ads?

Ok what's the tipping point?

I spent just around $20 on ads in about 4hrs which achieved
2 sales
20 shares
60+ likes
4 comments

Thought this would be a winner.... But no.

In the next 7 hours
0 sales
6 shares
40 likes
0 comments

Add spend is now $30. Have paused the campaign for now but thinking of trashing it.

What do you guys think? Maybe it's just a time of day thing or maybe I just got a lucky start with the first two sales....

I can't log into my Teespring account today. The login page doesn't load. Anyone else having the same problem?

Yeah they were working on something.

I must be missing something:

1. Design is getting rave complements
2. engagement is continuous - likes/shares
3. ?????
4. profit

step 3 is missing for me as the sales just aren't coming in. What am i missing that's going to turn people who like and share the shirt into buyers?

It's in the sports niche so i know this is a demographic that does by tees but what makes them tip?

I started a few TeeSpring campaigns today for 3 different niches. I chose the action for website conversions and ocpm with default bids.

So far today, I've spent $23.81 for 10 clicks and zero conversions. I'm not even getting very many impressions (about a 3,200 reach for all 3) and I have audiences of 2.5m-3m. Daily budget is set to $50 each.

I am clueless as to what the problem could be, why it's costing so much and why I'm not getting very many impressions. The ads are well designed. The audiences are targeted to interests and the age ranges are 24-55 in the USA.

It's kind of hard to get any clicks with so few impressions and with it set to ocpm, I can't really adjust anything.

Any ideas? Any one else facing this issue? I've paused the ads for now as they don't seem to be providing any positive results.

Thanks in advance.

Seems like the audience is very broad. Use some layering that down to around 100k to 500k.

You're competing with thousands of other advertisers with an audience that big.

Thanks, PPC Coach! I will try that.

I've spent $52.67 to my campaign and only got 1 sale. I've 2 ads:

Potential Audience was 300k
56 Post Engagements
4,287 Reach
72 Clicks
1,648% CTR
Total Spent $25.22

Potential Audience was 2,8k
64 Post Engagements
1,870 Reach
101 Clicks
4.495% CTR
Total Spent $27.35

And I think I got 1 sale from the 2nd ad which only has 2,8k potential audience. But you can see the difference right? It's all about targeting. But I think I made a mistake, it's only Boost Post. Now I paused those 2 ads and start with Website Conversion and we'll see how it goes. Hopefully more sales! Because it's only 2,8k Potential Audience. Is it okay? Or it's too small? I mean the Potential Audience. Thanks before!

Split between PPE as well. Personally boosted posts do the worst for me..


Question:

Who uses ad management services? 3rd party stuff?
I'm eager to find something easier to do mass split tests with, as well as a way to automate bidding, pausing, scaling etc.

I'm finding it difficult to decide!

I just started a new tee spring campaign....i am a first timer or virgin to this hope thanks for everyones helpful insights and advice wish me luck guys
Freedom Lovers | Teespring

I'm seeing a big drop in those D.O.B Tees - are they banned now?

I'm in the same boat as @Cataleya

$30 - 2 shirts

Time to dump it?

I heard that FB is not allowing teespring links any more, is it true ?

this is very motivational stuff. I should definitely try my luck in CPA after I launch my WSO...

Do you add more colors straight away or do you wait until the first sales?

@globalexperts - I just now saw that a new feature "Facebook Insights" is coming up in my ad manager section. Have you tried it yet ? Seems to be pretty cool.

[DELETED]

I just noticed that Teespring also retargets people using other advertising platforms aside from Facebook. I was browsing the internet and saw the banners of my shirt campaigns on some of the websites I visited. This is really cool!

globalexperts

if the custom audiance is good (y) why using this facebook insight !!!

very nice thread ,,,,
this will be paid forum out side

[DELETED]

Is there any recommended resource out there for gaining an in-depth understanding on how to use Facebook's advertising platform? I've read through some their knowledge base and picked up some things from here and some videos I've watched, but I feel like with a complete understanding of it I could be more proficient with how I approach my ads.

I just bought ads for the first time yesterday - was targeting a group of 28,000 and made my first sale at $1.24 spent but haven't made another one yet, at $5.xx now. I chose to spend $20 over 48 hours.

Is it better to spend $20 in one day while actively monitoring it and trying to optimize or to spread it out over 2-3 days to see if your campaign has potential? I guess I'm trying to figure out the best the strategy for the test spending phase.

Also, I recall hearing that your goal should be 5-6% of your potential reach, but that seems high. Is there any common rules that are accepted regarding conversion goals and potential reach? Does potential reach even matter if you target efficiently enough (say your reach is 500,000 but your targeting criteria is very robust and specific.)

Thanks for all the information so far - not sure if I came across this thread already while doing research over the last six weeks, but great stuff.

I just found out the hard way that Teespring will not let you drop your goal below 20% of the original goal. In my case, I got way too optimistic and started out with a goal of 100 shirts. On the last day of the campaign I had sold 8, so I wanted to drop the goal to 10 with hopes of tipping the campaign.

However, Teespring would not let me go below 20 shirts for the new goal. So unless you're certain your campaign will be very successful, start low.

[DELETED]

Targeted traffic works best. If you have an idea of the type of audience like a tv show, it gets better each sale .

please contact me on skype my id is khuldoon.hameed

I've had a decent campaign for the last few days. 40 shirts in 3 1/2 days and the campaign still has 3 days to run. The target is 50 shirts

I'm currently at $50 a day in adspend. I tried to increase the budget to $100 a day yesterday but I didn't see any huge increase in conversions.

This is a pretty niche group around 100k max and i'm already targeting all of them as far as I know.

Any other way to scale apart from throw more money at the campaign?

How do you guys increase urgency to get people to buy now rather than wait till later?

I designed a shirt. Now I am getting alot of likes and comments and shares on it.

Now in the comments people are saying they want, they will buy for sure, they are tagging other people to buy the shirt and even asking how to order the shirt.

Even after all that I haven't got a single sale on this shirt on teespring. Now is it worth retargeting to these people?

Sad

221 like , 104 share , $80 with only 2 sales , still fail again ( i lost about more $2000 for fb ads some one help me

Screenshot by Lightshot

soooo what kind of niche and what are the demographics

I'm low on money for my TS Facebook ads. My roommate says she can invest some money and we can become partners. Essentially I would do all the work, and she'll just put money into the campaigns, but she wants a 50/50 split on the profits.

The problem I've run into with my small budgets is that it's difficult to scale up a potentially successful campaign. Has anyone partnered with someone 50/50? Would this be better than doing nothing, or should I just keep trying on my own with my limited budget?

I noticed that Teespring has a search function now! So it might be hard to hide our campaigns now from people who want to copy it! LOL

What do you guys pay "per click" for pricing? Do you go with the "default optimized" or edit accordingly?

@globalexperts

When targeting, do you mostly target multiple interest in one campaign/adset? or do you target with one interest per campaign/adset?

Thrasher66099, do use copyright images for teespring campaign?
Is it a text or image?

This is really interesting,
I actually havnt started out with tspring yet, still learning the whole concept.
But I think some very important factor are:
1. You tshirt designs have to be something unique and pretty to look at, something that will make the wearer stand out, not necessarily having too many color but what colors u are able to blend of a very coolgraphic illustration you are able to use.
2 then also your target audience, no point creating cool tees that your target audience can't pay for.
I think one should also focus on specifit niche, a lot of deihard fans will spend good money on whatever it is the are passionate about and that will inform what kinds of design you come up with.
Finally I think its also best to outsource the designs to a pro if you are not great with graphics.
......Just my two cent.

i recently buy your templates. but i haven't used it yet cos my friend doesn't time to edit ad image for me. Can i ask if which is the best to use that will give a good CTR. i am using newsfeed ads all the time..

Guys~
The new right hand column ads is performing GOOD.
I am using it for retargeting and it has great ROI.

Hey anguschkong! I just tried the right hand side ad again. I didn't know that they made it bigger this time. I'll update you with the results!

globalexperts, Thank you for your help, your post is very useful!

How many campaigns you start everyday?

Hey guys! Anyone had success selling tank tops for summer? Thanks!

I think it's bookmarks and link share

I've been reading up on a bunch of teespring threads about teespring and fb and decided to give it a go. Had a bit of a learning curve but now I'm getting anywhere from 2%-10%+ CTR so by better targeting techniques and testing so I'm slowly getting the hang of it

Just wanted to ask, when you're testing your ads and narrow it down to your best performers (I try to keep it between 2-5), do you then beef up the daily budget to push it more? For example, I currently test my Ad Set with $10 daily budget and within that test 10 or so ads to see which performs best and start turning off ads when they don't have a good reach/CTR. Once I think I've found some solid ads, should I be changing the Ad Set daily budget to a higher amount?

I'm currently running an ad that's so far gotten 2 conversions with 6% CTR. Looking for some advice from you guys

Thanks for your insights in this thread and others, it's been really helpful to get some insight for this!

Can someone tell me if i'm on the right path:

This would be my successful campaign.
I actually have 15 sales, not 6 (goal of 20). I still have over 2 days left (out of 5 days)

Is it worth scaling up? And by how much should I increase the budget?

Hey globalexperts, when you create your ads, are you checking all the desktop, mobile, and right side ads? I did that and noticed in my reports that I reach the majority of my audience via mobile (probably ~90%) and not desktop. Should I be split testing mobile ads in one ad set and desktop in another?

Hi warriors.
today i tried run one my campain with two ads, same teespring url, same target, only difference images and words in ads.
here is my result



about $33 only 10 clicks, got one sale
but it too cost , will lose if i continue
my target about 500k people, age 25-54 , CPC max : $0.62
i set daily budget $200.
anybody please give me idea?

thank so much and sorry about my bad in english

I wouldn't set the daily budget that high for testing. Most of the time, I keep it to between $10 and $20 dollars when I'm testing. Don't scale up until you find a winner. If you get a few sales with the first $10 to $20, then slowly raise the budget and watch to make sure your sales increase as well.

Your cost per website click is way too high to make any money off that shirt. You'd have to sell a shirt every 3 to 5 clicks to even come close to turning a profit. My most popular shirts take 15 to 20 clicks per shirt sold, but I'm only paying a few cents per click.

Hi,


I can see most replies talk about direct traffic.
Has anyone thought of retargeting (such as Adroll) as a way to bring back viewers that already represent a cost? By retargeting, around 35% of the "lost" customers can be transformed into hot leads.

Hey globalexperts (or anyone else), just getting back into this - had one successful campaign last month but life got in the way and I haven't had a chance to launch any since - I wanted to learn more about the Facebook advertising platform before spending money advertising new campaigns.

I am wondering if there is any science to when you should run your ads - like if I am targeting people 25-49, do I run ads only on weekdays, do I try to run adds during normal US 9-5 hours since people are more likely to be at a work computer with access to Facebook, etc. Just curious if this factors into any of your decisions when advertising or if it is irrelevant in the grand scheme.

Another thing I was interested in is your opinion on what demographic categories are most useful when targeting - like do you use the household income or have a preference to which ones work best when targeting.

My first successful campaign sold 13/10 shirts, spent like $20 on advertising, and the exposure was only to 28,000.

For those with the 300+/50 campaigns, what is your average exposure level?

This thread is full of great information and I'm glad to be a part of it - looks like a lot of good discussion since the last time I posted in it!

It depends on the shirt. Some shirts will sell 300 copies with less than 100K exposure, while others will take hundreds of thousands of people reached to hit that many sold, if they ever do. You'll know when you have a real winner in a big niche. I have some shirts that are exposed to hundreds of thousands of people and others that only reach 20K to 30K. It all depends on how well they're selling and how much I'm willing to expand.

Targeting depends on the niche. I like to find huge Facebook pages in the niches I'm making shirts for and target the ads to them first. The page names aren't always available in Interests, but when they are, they can be big winners. Then, I'll break the ads down by age and gender. I never even look at income, but the markets I'm targeting are expensive to be in and most people who are liking pages in those markets can easily afford a $20 shirt.

As far as attempting to run ads at different times, I put my ads up and let them run. I don't have time to try to play around with shutting ads down and restarting them every day. Winning shirts will consistently get sales throughout the entire day. It slows down a little in the evening hours, but so does the reach and the amount of money being spent.

got one sale now , upto $7 spend for two camps
i check in analytics see this
Total Orders Placed: 1

Total T-Shirts Ordered: 1

Total Conversion Rate: 2.17%

Orders Placed Today: 1

T-shirts Ordered Today: 2

Conversion Rate Today: 5.56%

and this


i see with value of cid and know firt line is Athletic tee, second is hoodie
it mean 2 ordered, 4 shirt sold ?

[DELETED]

Hey guys! I have been very busy with work. How are your campaigns going?

I'm only starting out with Amazon so there's not much to brag about at the moment.

My ad budget depends on the the design and whether or not I think it's going to be successful. I usually know within the first $10 to $20 if a design is going to be successful or not. Sometimes, if I really like a design, I'll spend a little more trying to get it targeted correctly, but this rarely works out in my favor. As far as budgets for successful campaigns go, I've spent $5K+ advertising a single design when it's really selling well.

The number of campaigns I run at once varies. Sometimes I have 10 to 20 campaigns running at once. Other times, I only have a few campaigns running. Right now I'm waiting on a rather large check from Teespring and only have a handful of campaigns running until I can re-up my advertising budget. I hit a big winner that I was able to spread out across multiple shirts in different niches and drained my ad budget advertising them.

I use daily budgets on all my ads. This allows me to fine-tune the amount I'm spending per day based on how well the shirts are selling. If I'm only getting a couple sales, I'll leave the budget as-is. If the sales are pouring in, I'll raise the budget accordingly.

It takes a while to get things right, but if you're able to hit the winning combination of hungry market and great shirt design, the results are nothing short of phenomenal.

I create a page and populate it with a couple memes before advertising a shirt to a niche I'm attempting to break into. I'm the only fan of the page and have no following when I start advertising my first shirt to that niche. If the shirt design is a hit and people like it, a lot of them will like the page along with the shirt. When a design really takes off, I'll end up getting a couple thousand likes to the page along with selling 1,000+ shirts.

Once I have a couple thousand or so organic likes, I'll start a likes campaign advertising the page to get the page to really take off. This helps with future campaigns because I then have a hungry market that's engaged with my page and I can make a number of sales to page members by boosting posts to them and their friends.

It depends on how well the first couple campaigns do. If I hit a winning design and get a lot of likes to a page, I'll keep creating shirts for that page and try to build it up. If the first shirt or two I make and try to market to a niche fails miserably, I'll dump the niche and try something else. I've got around 30 Facebook pages right now. A number of them have less than 100 likes and I haven't touched them for months. Others have 20K+ likes and I post to them every day.

Ok so I posted a thread about needing help with teespring via facebook ads and apparently it got closed by the moderators and linked to this thread. I don't know why...

Anyway, congrats on everyone's success but that's why I'm here. I seriously can't understand what I'm doing wrong as I've had 15 failed campaigns. I can't seem to get any shirts to tip over. I attached a couple examples of my campaigns if anyone can give me advice I would greatly appreciated it!

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

If you can't get them to tip, typically it's design AND/OR targeting that are the issue.

Thanks PPC Coach.

Can you look at my examples on my earlier post and tell me what I did wrong?

Thanks

[DELETED]

Just had 31 conversions after spending only $25.22! COOL!

goood to know can u tell me ur traffic source ?

What about name tees

Hi
IS IT possible to advertise teespring tshirts in other places and forums instead of facebook ?

I understand all of this but what type of research should be done to figure out passions where the money is. Then how do you come up wit the slogans ?

Is there a process that you follow to find out or manually develop slogans to print on t shirts?
I would definitely be interested in knowing that for sure as I believe research is what accounts for 70% or so success!

I'm a graphic Designer and new to marketing. The most success I've had with teesprings was 75 shirts sold. I'm guessing it's really more about marketing than design. I'm glad I join Warriorforum

Ok,
for exmpl.

I have a great headlines, buy cool design for it
and make ad copy for FB.
But I have no relevant FB page.

Is it necessary first to create a page with a couple of thousand fans?
Or try it with a brand new page with zero fans?

You don't need a fanpage with fans to start. Create an empty fanpage and you'll pick up a bunch of likes if you hit a successful design. If you feel more comfortable with a fanpage with a couple thousand fans, you can spend a couple hundred dollars on a likes campaign to build the fanpage up a bit, but I've found it isn't necessary.

I do run LIKE campaigns once I've found a hungry market and have had a winning shirt design or two, but my first shirt or two is usually created and advertised with an empty fan page with only a few posts.

Teespring recently rolled out some major changes. One of these changes is the "Store" feature. Anyone had success using this?

I think a very crucial part of your tspring marketing is in niche reseach which deternines what kinds of tshirts you deserve. Then your facebook ads targeting is half of the job, I think its best to outsource the designs to a pro if u're not one yourself.

wow, seems finally I would have to start learning tspring too! great results, thanks for the motivation!

Teespring has definitely emerged as one of the best online t shirt platforms, have to get started with it!

Anyone has tried the new "Partner Mobile Apps" ad of Facebook for Teespring campaigns?

have you been getting paid timely on teespring so far?

always been paid on time. That's not an issue for me.

wow, this is a whole new niche! thanks for sharing with us!

I have tried 5 times on tee spring but always fail.

Congratulations my friend!
hope you get more sales day on day!

I believe in facebook interest targeting but have some problem starting with that!

interesting thread, thanks for sharing the info

I launched a campaign yesterday night, and as of 11 am today, it has 222 Facebook likes. Now the thing is that I haven't done any kind of marketing on it yet. Not a Facebook post or tweet...nothing. It doesn't have any sales, which is understandable since I barely sent my FB ad campaigns for approval.

The likes just puzzled me. I was wondering if it has happened with anyone else as well.

Figuring out users demographics and behavioral interests is one of the key factors to figuring out best conversion rates.

Good job. Congrats!

Thanks for sharing this.

I hope plenty more success comes to you!

well done congrats

Anyone had success doing name campaigns again? I'm seeing several successful name campaigns recently!

The ad pixel won't fire until you've made a sale. The more sales you've made, the better Facebook is able to determine who to show your ads to for conversion campaigns. Even then, I've rarely had better luck with website conversion ads than I've had with post engagement ads and CPC ads.

Your click through rate is really low which will drive your ad cost up. You're either advertising to the wrong market or you have a shirt people don't want to buy. If you're in a market that's already seen a lot of shirts, people will sometimes like your shirts and tag their friend, but they won't pull the trigger unless you show them something really special.

Yeah seems like you haven't really spent enough to get any data worth making decisions over.

What type of ad were you running?

What type of bidding?

What interests?

These all matter.

I had a custom advert made for my campaign... gonna see how this effects conversion ratios... so far I'm in over $100 just testing this stuff out and not one conversion gahhh...

I've been there too. I think I made 2 sales across my first 13 campaigns or something like that. Learn from your mistakes, try different shirt designs, different markets and different targeting and keep testing with small amounts of money. Don't get stuck on a design or a target market if you aren't making sales. Learning when to kill a campaign and move on is one of the hardest skills to acquire when you're just starting out.

I was thinking about doing t-shirt, but it seems a lot of people fail at it.

So it seems like the average CPC is around $0.30 - $0.50 for FB ads? This seems a bit pricey to me, have FB's ad rates gone up? It seemed like everyone has been getting "clicks for pennies" the last couple years, now I see all the way up to $0.60 - $0.70...

Also, what kind of conversion rates are people seeing on Teespring's site?

I'm still trying to benchmark my KPIs, so not sure what I should be looking for.

Thanks!

Do you mess with mobile ads at all?

Yes...I leave those selected as well. At least half of my conversions come from mobile traffic.

Great information. I have been foolishly leaving the mobile piece out of the equation. Thanks for answering my questions!

[DELETED]

I suck at teespring I just launched my third shirt and no sales I just suck at this shirt thing. But I 'll keep trying I want one of them to sell one day I guess I"m stubborn

I wouldn't worry too much just yet. I think I sold maybe 2 shirts in my first 13 campaigns...It takes a while to get it dialed in.

Congrats! I have been trying but no luck with selling Teespring tees with Facebook advertising. Think my targeting sucks, or my tees lol

[DELETED]

It depends on the engagement he's getting on his ads.

If he spent $12 and only got a few likes, clicks and shares, dropping the campaign is probably a good idea. If he's seeing a lot of likes, clicks and shares, but no sales, then he might want to play around a bit with the targeting and the design of the shirt to see if he can get it dialed in.

Just to give you an update guys, the new Teespring minimum goal is now down to 5 shirts from 10 shirts.

Is anyone getting under 30 cents a click? If so, how? With both CPC and oCPM my CPC is both about 38 cents each in the U.S.

Anyone had success taking advantage of the recent Halloween? I saw several successful Halloween campaigns..

How could you? I've uploaded 3 t-shirt design but never sold one.
Congratulation to you.

I have started 2 days ago with Teespring and my campaign will be for 3 days only. So on my first $5 spend I have 2 sales and after that there's none so I spent $10 right now and I tweaked interest again.

My campaign will end tomorrow, So I started to adjust my daily budget to $35. So I hope it will be a homerun.

I'm in $20 spent right now and the 2 sales is still 2 and my campaign will be ending in 20 hours. What the heck is wrong.

Has anyone started to sell hoodies? Is it a good time to start selling hoodies now? I haven't tried to sell hoodies in the past since I only started selling on Teespring last summer.

I include hoodies as part of every campaign...And they're generally pretty good sellers. I'm currently testing having them as the shirt that appears on the front of the page and it seems to be working well.

Congrats! Consistency and persistency pays. Your a great example to us all.

Unfortunately a large number of people give up with their first T spring campaign but by experimenting and trying out different designs, you will hit jackpot. It's a matter of time.

Hey

Well, I tried this now. You recommended OCPM, however I think €1.40 is quite high compared with what you paid for your ads .... also it does not really work at all, CTR 0.06% is a joke and reach 1,358 out of a target group of 7 million (!!!!) also unbelievable low.

And almost $3 (!!!!) cost per click!!!



Not sure what I am doing wrong?

I could never get CPC to work. I do OCPM then CPM afterwards.

Conversions can show for any bidding style, but OCPM uses Facebook's internal data to display the ads.

I have spent $40 for 3 day campaign and it is unsuccessful with only 2 bought the tshirt. Maybe I'm in the wrong niche.

I think you have to have a page on something with many followers and then after that build a teespring campaign.

Very good job! Congrats.

I was wondering how big was your audience? Mine are usually very low so I don't get that many sales. After a while most have seen the ad before and I see the conversions stops.

Congratulations on your success globalexperts!
Well done.

Either your targeting is completely wrong or your shirt design leaves a lot to be desired. Your click through rate needs to be around 5 to 6 percent or higher to get your cost per click down. Try retargeting your ad or scrap the shirt and try a redesign. There's something seriously wrong if you're getting less than 1%.

It's because of the size of the audience. With smaller audiences, the ads keep recycling and the frequency keeps increasing. If you haven't made many sales by the time it hits 2 or 3 with that small of an audience, it's time to kill the ad.

Hey guys! Can you suggest any Teespring alternatives? I need an alternative that can sell shirts in the US as well. Thanks!

globalexperts,

What's the minimum CTR you can expect to say that the compaign can do well ?

what about your FB cpc ? i see that some people talks about cents.have you an idea how can we do that ?

I know Fabrily.com are a good alternative to Teespring .

Congrats! Great results. Go one and success is with you!
Mike

Awesome results. I am not really familiar with Teespring but it seems its a great place to make money with t-shirts.

Thanks

I love this post and Thanks for sharing I get hug inspiration from this post. I got only 1 campaign successful 7/5 I spent around 200$ plus and 69$ profit. Now I stopped because I need personal coaching.

[DELETED]

Anyone here familiar with sunfrog? I'm testing it out and for some reason the link to my affiliate stats in sunfrog is gone for days now... So I stopped sending traffic for now... WEIRD!

[DELETED]

Hey guys! I've been very busy this holiday season! How are your campaigns going?

[DELETED]

[DELETED]

Great thread... we've been doing TeeSpring off and on for about a year now. Our first couple of campaigns sold 150-220 shirts. Unfortunately, some of our later campaigns keeps getting taken down, which is annoying because we see other shirts using the same trademarked words but were never targeted.

Anyway, looking forward to doing some serious marketing this year to ramp up this part of business.

Do any of you run t-shirt shops outside of the TeeSpring campaigns? I.e. do you keep inventory of stuff that you know is popular so you can sell them on Shopify or elsewhere? Just wondering...

150 Sales, Not bad!
Set your goals higher

Anyone here still doing teespring?

Campaign finishing today should top just over 500 shirts. Still a viable platform, just have to be creative use the old noggin.

Good job. Congrats.

FB advertising is extremely powerful

If you're starting with $100 then that's fine but you will have to be pretty lucky to get the right combo of design, audience and ad that works on the first try.

Are hoodies still selling well for you guys? I'm staring to see a decline in my hoodies sales...

Hoodies are still selling great for me...Once they slow down, it's going to hurt since I make twice the amount from a hoodie as I do from a shirt!

Fire up a PPE ad, get 50-100 sales, then fire up a WC ad and scale hard up to hundreds of sales with ease. Make sure audience size is big enough to scale. $5 budget ads x 20-30 work best.

Yeah, as mentioned above, your first post was basically "I made money" and then you say "tell me specifically how to make money using teespring". Seems very one sided.

Hi Jon,

Please tell us what the acronyms mean (PPE and WC) below from your previous post:

Fire up a PPE ad, get 50-100 sales, then fire up a WC ad and scale hard up to hundreds of sales with ease.


Thanks!

Bret

[DELETED]

PPE is page post engagement. You can do those as a post on a page where you then send traffic to it OR you can use the power editor to make them and then track every conversion more accurately. (Although you lose a bit of social proof).

WC means website conversion ad. It's for things like the newsfeed ads and right hand side ads on Facebook typically.

To start you want to do PPE ads to get some viral activity, see what people are saying and gauge whether the campaign is a keeper or a dumper.

Anyone has tried the "promotions" feature on Teespring?

Hey guys! Anyone who has tried the Facebook multi-product adverts where you can use multiple images on a single ad? I can't figure out how to create one in power editor. I'm not sure if it just happened that this feature is not yet available in my advertising account.

I've used the multi product ads.

I have mixed results so far.

Only ran a couple campaigns, but my thoughts are too many options just confuse people and they don't click it.

In power editor when you go to create the ad, you should an option for a single image and then multiple image ad.

If you don't, refresh your power editor or it may not have been rolled out to you yet?

Yeah I saw it when creating website conversion newsfeed ads only. (had to uncheck right side).

Is it possible that many campaigns are closed, if only a little is inspired by a brand?

For example football. Since there are shirts, where only the name of the place it + a football player. Green Bay + footballer = closed. Seattle + a Seahawk + = closed.

I can understand that rights must be protected, but here it is exaggerated, right?

has anyone had success with a FB banner ad ?
seems easiest say for viewer to click / buy.

I need your help.

It comes to the point "behavior".

I have now read much. Many say they give in "behavior" online payers or something like .

Only I can not enter because something. The field remains empty.

I have "online spenders" "Online buyer" tried, but nothing happens.

Facebook has since changed what or what can I do?

thank You So Much

Mercy

PS hope you understand my english ;-)

by chance has anyone tried an ad agency
( free trial for 2 weeks ) ?

nothing to lose since it is trial.

I agree, steer clear of anything to do with professional sport team names or tv shows. Those will be busted eventually. I had a very niche tv show get nuked and I didn't think it would. Lesson learned.

how many likes does your fan page have * before * placing your t-spring ad ?

I am trying 2 get my fan page ( dog niche ) going;
I wanted to try a t - spring ad but I don't think I have enuf likes / engagement.

this is discouraging / did not think it wd take this long to get this dog fan page going.

It's a popular fulfillment and dropshipper for guys who sell t-shirts online.

[DELETED]

Yeah, I notice on the Teeview site of the best selling shirts there are no sports teams anymore..


Used to be they were the majority with big sales, they must have really clamped down on that..

Yeah they've really cracked down on it. If it's anything trademarked or belonging to a pro team, I wouldn't touch it as they will not allow it.

Yeah, I imagine you can come up with a phrase or graphic that taps into a certain teams identity or one of their players, without using a trademark..


Don't think that would necessarily be a problem, just depends what it is.


Haven't read the fine print of teesprings terms recently so no sure what they actually don't allow..

just started mine last night and already at 101 sales and growing! very happy!!!!

[DELETED]

Hi All, I have been following this thread and love hearing someone reaches there t shirt goal, it has inspired me to try it for myself.

I have just started my own Facebook ads campaign but cant get any impressions. My ad has been approved and its been about 12 hours now and I'm not getting any impressions and clicks. There is about 700k people in my selected interests and I have tested changing the bid per click and raised it up to $2 per click and also tried testing the auto bidding settings and nothing changes.

I was wondering if anyone else had this issue and if they was able to fix it?

[DELETED]

has anyone had luck selling to countries like india, pakistian, etc.

there seems to be interest on my dog niche fan page fm these countries.

I am looking for a serious legit mentor or training program in the area of successfully marketing teespring campaigns with results.

I have joined about four programs with their 30 day money back guarantees and cannot find the information and help I need to do the ads and marketing for success. I've listened to a dozen or more videos and would like an actual trustworthy person who is able to analyze my shirt designs and show me just what to do to place ads that will convert.

If you know of anyone or you, yourself can do this, I will request my refund from two or three of the programs I recently joined and would pay someone to mentor me.

What I also wonder, if people are so successful with this, why don't they offer their services and take a percentage of the successful campaigns? That shows me they are confident in what they know how to do and are willing to guarantee results, too.

Hello all -
I'm running my first campaign and have had moderate success. (haven't lost money). On the last day I want to edit my ad to state last day or final 24 hours or some such. I haven't been able to figure this out in power editor. Do I just create a new ad in the ad group? Thanks for input and wish you all well.

How come some are still having success selling name shirt campaigns on Teespring? How do they do it? LOL

Anyone here taking advantage of Sunfrog? I find it more effective when I'm too busy since I don't have to sell my own design. I can simply choose designs of other people and add it to my collection. Please let me know your thoughts.

Are you guys still selling Hoodies at this point? I'm seeing a decline in sales for Hoodies. I was thinking if it's time to focus on selling Tshirts or tank tops now since the summer is already approaching.

Congrats!

Facebook really works with an interesting targeted peaple!

Have you ever tried promoting Teespring campaigns using Instagram?

Congrats! Damn my goal is to sell 10 shirts, but I'm little scared. When I'll launch my first campaign. Soon, soon in few days

Congrat and thank you for sharing. How much you spend on ads average per day?

Hey guys! Any spikes in your tank top sales yet? I'm planning to start selling tank tops along with tshirts since the summer is coming! Let me know your thoughts!

[DELETED]

Congrats man! That's crazy number (Because I mostly have seen people failing with teespring while some of them have managed to yield crazy numbers like this!)

Teespring is not as easy as people make it out to be...I would agree that proper targeting and finding that matching interested audience is key. Gotta test!

Hey guys! What niches are you working on now? I need new ideas/niches

Without facebook ad Teespring campaign is Zero.
Isn't any other loophole without fb ad? guys?

Congratulation.
Would you like to describe details how to find niche? (your technique)

Hi Guys.
i am looking for Teespring Partner. if some one interested please pm me.
Only contact me if you are good in Targeting audience.
i will provide you anything you want.

Thank you

How are you doing with Teespring guys? Any campaign ideas for the coming holidays?

The ugly Christmas sweater theme seems to be doing really well with people. I haven't tried any yet myself though.

Congrats man on your success . I could never sell t-shirts that good on facebook after spending some $$$ I left it .

Sky that's normal to have that happen in the beginning. I would say don't give up!
Get into some of the groups on facebook, just type in "teespring" into the search and see what groups come up. Join them and ask the questions where you're having problems with.

Hey guys! Happy New Year! I had great campaigns for the past holidays! Any tshirt campaign ideas now that the holiday season is over?

Anyone noticed the successful shirts for Nana's? I think this is one of the trends now. I will create similar campaigns.

it depends on our audience target, its not easy, u have to think deep to make sales
