Have you ever dreamed of having your own clothing brand, but can’t deal with the follow-through? Ideas often don’t get off the ground because the realities of production, inventory, and shipping logistics can get overwhelming. Thankfully, Amazon will now literally fulfill that dream with its Merch on Demand platform, Esquire Magazine reports.
Creating your merchandise line on the website is as easy as uploading your artwork, selecting your product type and color, and adding a catchy product description. The e-commerce giant says it will take care of the rest, handling printing, production, shipping, and even customer service, all without requiring any upfront costs from you.
The online marketplace names content creators of all sizes that have already come on board, from major brands like Disney, Marvel, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Universal, Dr. Seuss, Fortnite, and Overwatch to independent designers.
The on-demand print business enables creatives to roll out an array of products featuring their original designs, including T-shirts, hoodies, pop sockets, and tote bags. In a month, they’ll receive their first royalties.
And since this is Amazon, items are shipped with Prime delivery right to shoppers’ doorsteps within three days. They’re also only printed once an order is placed, leaving zero inventory behind.
