Define Your Brand

• Ask Yourself: What makes your brand unique?
• Make sure your designs reflect your personality or community vibe.

Start Small

• Begin with a few versatile products like T-shirts, hoodies, or stickers.
• Experiment with designs and see what resonates with your audience.

Focus on Quality

• Offer well-designed, high-quality items rather than too many options.
• Less is more when starting.

Organise Your Store

• Create collections to make it easier for your audience to browse.
• Examples include categories like Apparel, Home & Office, and On the Go.
• Then, add them as a submenu.

Pricing Matters

• Set prices that are fair but also cover your costs.
• Research similar stores to get an idea of standard pricing.
• We at Purrcept handle a 40% markup. Giving us enough space to run promotions or offer free shipping on bigger orders.

Engage your community

• Ask your community what they’d like to see in the store.
• Consider hosting giveaways or events to celebrate your store launch.

Be Patient

• Don’t stress about perfection. It’s a learning process, and every step counts.

Address Issues with the platform

• When an order takes too long, or a product is misprinted or damaged, communicate it with the platform you're selling from. Good platforms will reship or refund your customer.
