    Hi again Cassiy! I say again, because I wanted to let you know I was here before and watched your very insightful video. You nailed it! You go over everything an Etsy seller selling POD should write down and follow! You say things in a slow and detailed way that, I feel, anyone can follow and learn from. I know you have said that these videos are rather new to you, but I feel like you present them in such a professional and caring way, like you were born to do this. I have watch many of your videos and I just wanted to let you know you have helped me. Thank you!

    Cassiy, you are taking POD content to a whole new level. No one talks about this! Thank you so much. All older videos about POD and dropshipping are just guys screaming that it's effortless side hustle, you don't have to use pretty fonts or trendy graphics, just put generic pizza quotes etc. etc and rarely go into details inviting to their superficial e course right away. Well, maybe this would fly in 2016, but not today. You, on other hands, order actual samples and show it here, share hoy you actually design in Canva and many more!

    My customer claimed size mislabeling and sent a photo of shirt but was SO offended when I asked them (per my print shop) to send it with tape measurement. Lol! You are right, can't win them all. I figured my shop is so new, it was worth it to just refund my customer, rather than have the threat of a negative review. I am ready for the future success!! Claiming it and working hard. :)

    • @CassiyJohnson
      @CassiyJohnson  Před 2 lety

      Sorry that happened to you!! Now you know next time there is any issue at all like that to ask for the measurement picture right from the beginning! And anytime I refund a customer, I also just cancel their order. That way they only have 3 days to leave a review and after that they can't!

    Hi Cassiy, your videos are always so clear and helpful. I'm have a brand new etsy shop and I just got my first sale yesterday! I have one question, when you say that you have the customer pay for the cost of exchanging the item, they are essentially buying another product. Do you ever get complaints from them, saying that the return should be free, and they shouldn't be charged anything?

  • @artdicognorofex5014
    @artdicognorofex5014 Před 10 měsíci

    Hi Cassiy! I love your videos and I am happy I can get tips from you.
    I have a current issue with a customer. A person ordered two of my posters and she ordered two more of the same posters an hour later. Everything was paid for and Printify has already started printing before I woke up :). I wrote a message to thank for buying all four posters.
    Today the person wrote that she ordered two of the posters and got duplicates (she actually made two orders). And another issue is that the posters were cut off at the top (she sent me a photo). The thing is that I sell posters in different sizes, only the ones in proportion 2:3 are fully printed and the rest are delicately trimmed to fit, but not leave the customer unsatisfied (I don't cut off the heads of the people on the poster ;)). And all that is written in every description of my posters, so that people who order know what to expect.
    I have already got 5 star reviews on some of the posters that weren't in the 2:3 proportion. And now this person wants a refund.
    What do you think I should do? Thank you.

    Hi Cassiy,
    Your videos are just so awesome and informative. Everyone loves you because you are just so open and honest. I watch your videos over and over everyday. I have some questions about your example of the person wanting to exchange his large shirt for a medium size. What happens to the original large shirt after he purchases the medium? Does he keep the shirt or return it? Who processes the refund? And, who pays for the shipping if he has to return it? Sorry I have so many questions.
    Thank you for your help. -Jeannie

    • @CassiyJohnson
      @CassiyJohnson  Před rokem +1

      I like the just let them keep the original item. That’s why I just have them pay the cost I would pay for the new item. You could have them ship the item back to you first, then send the new item and have them pay shipping but that just seems like a hassle and a waste because then you have to worry about doing something with the old shirt. I’d rather not deal with that if that makes sense!

    Miss Cassiy, thank you so much for all the CZcams content you offer us. I've downloaded and am getting through your very helpful start up guide too. One question when you mention you that you let customers know there are no returns/exchanges but they can reach out and you'll be happy to make it right... What if the problem is not due to any fault by Printify, or your design? They just have buyers regret, or decide they don't like it for some random reason. Do you have any sort of prepared response for these folks?

      Hi Villy! I ran Pinterest ads once but didn't really see any success from them. I have run Etsy ads in the past plenty of times but only when I already have best sellers or really good sellers that I am just trying to promote even more. You want to get good at SEO and Designs first so you can get organic traffic from Etsy. This is the biggest plus to Etsy, is that they bring so much free organic traffic. So figure out how to do well without ads first and THEN try Etsy ads and you will be a lot more successful!

I love this video because it treats the customer as a human and not just a number. I just wanna clarify about the section where you send an message to the customer and instruct to clik on the link to the listing. Does that mean i need to create a new listing for that ? its about 6:30

    Hi Cassiy, thank you so much for all of your videos. How do you set up a link for replacement orders to your customer if they order a wrong size?

    • @CassiyJohnson
      @CassiyJohnson  Před rokem +3

      I just change the price of the new size they want to purchase in the original listing and have them purchase it. Then I change the price back once they are finished. You could also just create a listing with Etsy that has just a picture that says "replacement order" or "custom order" that you change the price of anytime someone orders. You would create this by going to Etsy and pushing "create listing" and make it fully custom there. then once they order, you would go to your "other orders" tab on printify and select the item they would like.

    I have one question about trademarks though that's been worrying me for a while now - for an example, "Wifey" is trademarked for shirts, but could I still put something like "New Wifey" on a shirt? Or is the trademark only in play if I put "Wifey" alone? I realize I should probably be asking a lawyer for legal advice, of course, but hoping you could share your experiences. Thanks!

So if am looking to list a design but the print provider I want to use does not have one of the shirt colors l want to sell my design with. Can I choose multiple providers for 1 design? If possible how do I go about it? I’d truly appreciate your response to my question. Thank you 😊

    • @CassiyJohnson
      @CassiyJohnson  Před 2 lety +2

      Congrats on getting started Abigail!! I'd try to use just one printer as much as possible because If a customer orders two items, they will be confused when they get shipped separate so you have to remember to see if they are printed by the same people or not and then let them know if they are coming separate. But to do what you are talking about, I would list the colors you want from one provider and then list the other colors by the second print provider in a totally separate listing.

      So yes I would change the price of just the one variant and send them the URL link to the listing. You just open that listing up in a new page on your computer and just copy and paste the search bar info into a message for them. Then just once you see the order comes through, which normally is pretty quick, then just change the price back.
      I also send all messages I am done with to the archive, that way the only message in my inbox, are things I need to follow up on later.

    • @CassiyJohnson

      Hello! So what I normally do is just discount the item in the size they want to buy only, to the discounted price. Then I just make sure to change the price back after they purchase. You could also make a manual listing starting in Etsy by pushing "create new listing" and add a photo to the thumbnail that just says "custom order". Then you go to "other orders" on Prinitfy and tell them which item in which size the person wanted. Hope that makes sense!

    • @CassiyJohnson
      @CassiyJohnson  Před 2 lety +1

      Sorry this happened to you Shay! I in that situation would just ask the print provider to either not ship the item and give me back the shipping fee or have them send it to my house instead. I just always try to give the customer really great service. Especially if it's not shipped yet, then the customer just won't understand and will think you are just not being helpful. Up to you though since it does state that you don't take cancellations so you are well within your right to deny them a refund.

      I asked the printing partner not to just ship it, but to return the shipping cost. However, the printing partner said that it is not possible to refund only the shipping cost because production has already been entered.

      I think for a higher price point you may get less conversions overall with this policy potentially but it's hard to say.

    • @CassiyJohnson
      @CassiyJohnson  Před 2 lety +4

      Yes I do, if the address was correct then they just need to pay for the reshipping. So you can create a custom listing for them to purchase. Just go to Create Listing, and add a picture that says something like "Custom Order" or "Order Add on" or "reshipping fee" etc. And make it a physical product and add your price for shipping. Now when the new item gets shipping, you get an email and can copy that tracking number into that listing so they get a copy of the tracking number.
