We also carry accessories like necklaces, rings, bracelets and scarfs. Finally our digital marketplace hosts a multitude of downloadable deals, designs and music files.
PICKING YOUR CAMPAIGN PRODUCT OR PRODUCTS
Consider adding more than one product to your campaign. Expand your market and your revenue potential. You can use the same design for two products or you can create an entirely new design, that is completely up to you.
PRINT TYPES
With Print On Demand, sell your designs on t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops, hats, necklaces, and even cellphone cases without risking a dime on inventory because you never pay for anything until you’ve already sold it. How’s that for easy money? Even better we provide you with four different print options.
DETERMINE WHAT PRINT TYPE IS RIGHT FOR YOU
Depending on the volume of printing is usually the first thing people or professionals consider when determining their print type. Typically high volume print orders require a more cost effective print, screen printing is the best option when it comes to price. If you need a small volume or even just one print DTG would be your best bet based on the small setup fee associated with a Direct to Garment print.

CAMPAIGN SALES TECHNIQUES
CAMPAIGN SALES TECHNIQUES
Campaign sales versus traditional sales is the juxtaposition as is cold versus hot. A campaign sales strategy and limitations in terms of who you can approach and who you can’t approach is unlimited, thus there are very few sales restrictions. Think of it this way, you’re not only selling an amazing custom product geared towards your campaign but you’re asking someone to support your organization, new business or brand’s goal that is ultimately a good cause. Who doesn’t like helping someone meet their goals or at least attempt to support someone’s cause? They do exist however they’re far and few in between unlike those that don’t want to support your traditional sales person looking to close a deal.
The best thing about campaign sales is you’re selling in a digital world. You don’t have any overhead, print costs (unless you want to print to further your reach) and you can market your campaign until the wheels fall off using modern day digital marketing strategies. Everything from social media, email and text message campaigns can be utilized to get the word out about your campaign, generate a buzz and ultimately help you reach your sales goal.
That being said this is just a snap shot or “Quick Start” guide to selling and learning more about SmarDIY and what we have for our members that are operating and launching campaigns, their new business or brand. We hope you like what you’ve read thus far, please stay tuned as there is plenty more to come in the world of SmarDIY infused with Social Commerce and campaign sales.
DIGITAL MARKETING TOOL BOX
DIGITAL MARKETING TOOL BOX
SmarDIY has added some super easy, user friendly sales tools to help you achieve your goals. You can find these tools in your admin dashboard or by clicking here. We tried to pull out all the stops including adding a timer that let’s potential supporters aka customers know how much time left they have to buy your campaign product by the second. This creates a sense of urgency!
The other tools, which there are multiple are designed to assist you in your marketing, advertising and promotional efforts. Social sharing, creating your own custom URL (perfect for copying and pasting anywhere you can think of on the web).
Finally, and might I say finally one last time, we’re just about done adding a tracking pixel. The tracking pixel is the ultimate sales tool/ reminder. You know when you click on a website like a bank or car dealership and somehow know matter what website you go to that bank or car dealership keeps popping up? It’s almost like they’re following you.

CAMPAIGN SALES IDEAS
CAMPAIGN SALES IDEAS
When we near the holidays, it’s a great time to begin preparing your schedule for making phone calls to people to whom you rarely talk. There’s no better opportunity than during the holidays to call someone you haven’t spoken to recently and wish them a great Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc. If you make 5 calls per day, just think of how many people you can network with by the time December 31 rolls around?
Often the holiday period becomes a very difficult time to sell when you’re in a business-to-business environment. If this is the case for you, use the holiday period to sell yourself and your knowledge. Send your customers information about your industry, the economy or other points of interest. Although they may not read the information, they will notice that you took the time to send it to them.
Use these months to deepen your relationship with your customers. When business gets back to normal after the first of the year, you’ll have new things to ask them about and, more importantly, you’ll be viewed as a salesperson who is interested in more than just money.
BUILDING A SALES TEAM
BUILDING A SALES TEAM
Frequently, salespeople think the way to control the amount of time needed for a sale with their customers is by offering them a special deal if they buy now. When this is done, the salesperson is usually only giving away profit, while thinking he’s speeding up a sale. We leverage time best by selling to the customer’s time parameters, not our own. When we sell to their parameters, we are selling at a higher value and a higher profit.
Typically the best way to expedite the sales process is get other to join in and assist you with the sales process. This is called building a sales team. Deligate sales tasks, or the entire process. Figure out what others strengths are in comparison to your strengths and weaknesses and then align each of your team members for growth. Understand where your current profit margins are at and determine what you can afford to pay each person. Remember that they’re now an extension of what you were currently doing on your own. Also another key component is territories. The last thing you want is a new sales person taking your already established account or having a potentially negative impact on something you had positioned for the close.
Keeping these basic sales team building principles combined with a lean approach will help you get to your sales goal much quicker than trying to do everything on your own.

A & B testing, also known as split testing can help you determine what is working and what isn’t working. The concept is simple, create two similar campaigns, however when creating your campaign create two separate price points, adjust your profit margins, create two unique URL’s, apply the campaigns to separate campaign categories and finally add creative campaign tags. Upon deployment try targeting your unique URL to different channels, use social media and email to get the word out. After doing this for three to five days measure your results to see what is working best and then duplicate the process for all of your campaigns.
