To Curate or Not To Curate? That is the Question!
TeePublic isn’t a regular merch solution, we’re a cool merch solution! If you’re one of our elite partners, congratulations you did it! That means that you have a merch store on our site (click here for the difference between a merch store and a regular ol’ store) and you can curate designs from ALL OVER TeePublic to live in your store. Oh yeah, you read that right, any design on TeePublic is fair game, simply hover over a design you like, click the blue “+ Merch Store” button and you’re golden baby. You’ll make an 11% commission for each sale you drive of a curated design! It’s basically free money.
If free money doesn’t convince you (?????), here are some other reasons we recommend curating your merch store:
Engage with Your Fans -- Clearly you shine at this or you wouldn’t have gotten this far! At its best, our curation feature works as an extension of fan engagement and gives your audience an exclusive glimpse into who you are as more than an influencer or content creator. You get to show your fans more of your style, taste, and what you think is cool! Curation does this without being too salesy, you simply get to say “look what I found that I think is awesome” instead of “buy my stuff!!!!” (or in addition to it). Everyone wins!
Support Your Fans -- Your fans support you, so why not show them you support them right back? If you’re lucky enough to have an artistically inclined fan community, you can add their designs to your TeePublic store and show them that you care all while helping them get some extra cash!
Support Independent Artists -- Our driving force here at TeePublic is to allow artists to stay artists while also helping them make some extra money. You can have a part in this as well by curating designs you like in your store! We’re a community of creatives here so putting your support behind a fellow creative soul is an awesome way of helping others to succeed while gaining some valuable karma points.
Host a Merch Store Even If You Don’t Design -- Have you noticed a demand for merch but you can’t draw? Well boy oh boy do we have a solution for you! You can have a store of entirely curated designs and give your fans what they want while also supporting artists!
