Have you ever had a can't-miss Etsy store idea, but then remembered, "Oh yeah, I'm not a designer!" Or are you a passable designer but lacking inspiration to create new designs?

In this video, our partner EcommEmily walks us through her simple Etsy print on demand design strategy and shows us how to take inspiration from what’s already working, pull out trending design elements, and turn them into unique product designs.

She also shows us how to use Canva to create a simple blanket design, then reuse that same design template to make new variations for different customers, niches, hobbies, and sports.

In this video, she covers:

✨ Why simple Canva designs can work really well on Etsy
✨ How to look at bestselling listings without copying
✨ What design elements to pay attention to during research
✨ How to create a print-on-demand blanket design in Canva
✨ How to reuse one design template for multiple product ideas
✨ Why this strategy can save you so much time as an Etsy seller

And she also shares a closer look at Pic The gift blanket samples via Printify, including a Sherpa blanket and Velveteen Microfiber Blanket (what we call a Minky Blanket), and how the designs turned out in real life (C'mon, they turned out awesome!).

We're happy to partner with EcommEmily on such educational content, and we hope it helps some of our newer partners expand their product offerings and increase sales. More to come!
