Promoting a teespring campaign, and I need help.

20 replies
I'm having trouble selling my teespring campaign, i don't think my design is too bad, but i might just be fooling myself. I put 10.00 in facebook ads, and have promoted it on twitter, pinterest, and reddit. a little bit as well. and no sales, i was wondering if someone would be kind enough to take a look at the shirt itself, and tell me straight up. Let me know, its about coffee, so someone who really enjoys coffee is really who i'm asking.

    Facebook ads does not convert well unless your ad is posted in groups..

    Also, one campaign at $10 isn't much at all.

    I would recommend running a few ads and see which one is most responsive.

    When you have figured out what people are responding to pump more money into that campaign.

    As has been said $10 in an ad campaign isn't much. It is best to have some sort of social media presence in a niche that you can then create different t-shirts to. Starting from scratch you may find it difficult.

    If you are promoting on FaceBook you have to target the right way, and you must have a Fan Page to make this effective. The page is so you can advertise in the main news feed not just side ads. Also here is a hot tip in the ads manger use audience insights and try different key words, it uses the gender and age of people on facebook. Also take note of something called an affinity score the higher the better. Also you if you have a page you can use boost page option after a post ,fast and useful and you can budget the amount of money you spend in a day. Also if you are on a budget run the ads from about 3pm until the next morning. Also look at targeting people that may have liked a page or something related to starbucks and coffee.

    Three things: Great shirt design, right Facebook targeting, and effective ad images. These are the things that will lead you to Teespring success.

      3 of dozens of aspects...but there is MUCH more to it than that.

    The amount you invested is really too low to jump to any conclusion, you need to spend money a little bit

    For paid advertisement, $10 won't get you a sufficient pool of people to draw any firm conclusions on whether you need to work on your sales pitch or targeted group.

    One analogy i can draw up for you would be this. There are 1,000 people in a room and out of which, 200 people are looking to buy a t-shirt. You approached only 10 people to sell your t-shirt and none of them bought any.

    Try to get a bigger pool of data and i'm sure you will get a clearer picture of what you need to improve on for your sale. Best of luck!

    I am curious to know, when starting out with Teespring do you make 4-5 slight variations of the same shirt, and cycle those ads to see which is the most responsive, or go with one shirt in the beginning and make 4-5 variations of that one shirt?


    Also, where are you all making your shirt designs? I saw 99designs.com and I may go that route, but is there some sort of software that I can play around with to make these designs?

    Your coffee shirt looks pretty good, OP, what software did you use?

      I just go with 1 design then add different colors, type of shirt (women tees, men tees, hoodies, etc.). I tend to make it simple and not over complicate things.

    Black works best on Teespring. Also, have some kind of landing page from your ad. Saul

    Start with 5-10 goal, 7 to 10 days campaigns, $30 to $80 on ads.

    i think the problem is idea. Three things: Great shirt design, right Facebook targeting, and effective ad images. These are the things that will lead you to Teespring success.I agree with him. but teespring is so competitive, can you try with another flatfom, for example: fabrily.com, i think. good luck
