How do I sell personalized products in the most efficient way?

If you want to sell customized products in your e-commerce store, you must get it done right. Many stores decide to go for the easy way, and just add a couple of fields on their product page where the customer can complete the personalization details.

For example, if you sell mugs with a quote, the customers would write down the phrase they want to use on the mug on a text box before or after purchasing it.

This means a back and forth between the designer and the customer, which takes time and does not always end in good port. Sometimes what the customer receives is not what he/she had in mind.

That’s why, if you want to have a personalization business and be successful, you must use an app for product customization that helps you automate your processes and offer the best online shopping experience possible for your customers.

One of the best product personalizer apps you can find is Customily. With Customily you can create from basic to the most complex personalized products and offer a live preview to your customers, so they can always see live what they will receive before purchasing. Customily also offers ready-to-print files in different formats, so after the purchase is done, you can download a production file with all the details, ready to take to fulfillment. No more manual work is needed! You can also connect with your favorite print-on-demand supplier if they do your fulfillment, and send the production files directly to them.

What’s great about Customily is that it can be integrated into any e-commerce platform. From the popular ones like Shopify or WooCommerce, to marketplaces like Etsy, or even a custom one. It doesn’t matter where you have your online store, Customily will integrate with it so you can add awesome personalization options to your products.

How can I differentiate from my competitors?

So, you already know why selling personalized products is a great idea and how is the smart way to do it. But, of course, you’re not the first person who got here. Personalization is a trend, and there are many stores that are jumping into this wave, so how can you differentiate from your competitors?

One of the best tips we always give to our customers is: try to differentiate, don’t do the same thing as the neighbor next door. Most people sell custom products online with texts, an image, or clipart. T-shirts, mugs, tumblers, pillows, you see them everywhere.

You could offer those, of course, but why not try to create something original that makes you stand out from the competition?
