So you’ve completed the first step and created your vendor account and uploaded some designs onto products. Brilliant! But how do you turn this into sales and start earning commission?
Social Media: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter
Social media should always be a priority to generate awareness for your products. You can create pages on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter (or X 🙄) and share your products there. Stick a link to your Football is Life store in your bio and off you go! A great way to build a following is to simply follow like minded people in the hope of a follow back. It’s not hard to find fans of your football club that will be interested in your designs. Pro tip: don’t follow too many people at once or the platform will start to limit how often you can follow. The other key to social media is consistency. Keep posting regularly and engaging with other accounts and you’ll have a fan base ready to snap up your latest designs in no time!
Video Content: YouTube and TikTok
Video content is one of the most powerful tools out there to generate sales. Whether it’s quick videos on TikTok, your own YouTube channel or going live to showcase your products on stream. We recommend getting some sample products with your design ordered then you can show off wearing them on your videos or even do an unboxing. Just one viral video could get your football designs in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
Word of Mouth: Friends and Family
A great way to get your first sales through the door and generate some eyes on your store page is to tell your friends and family about it! Word of mouth is a great way to get people talking about your designs. Before you know it you’ll be seeing people at the match wearing one of your football t-shirts!
Represent Your Brand: Don't Be Afraid to Show Off!
Seeing mockups on a website is one thing, but you can't always appreciate a design until you see it in person. That's why we always recommend getting some samples of your designs ordered so you can see what they look like and of course use them or wear them yourself. Heading to the game or even just the pub in one of your own football t-shirt designs is bound to strike up conversation and generate interest.
