For coffee lovers, each day begins with a hot and freshly brewed cup of coffee. They love their coffee mugs as much as the dark beverage within. And it is quite obvious that they would want to have a personalized coffee mug as they are quite passionate about drinking from it.
Quite often, such people complain about the lack of right software for designing a mug. This is because each tool has some or the other drawback making it difficult for the customers to design a perfect mug. If you own a an estore of personalized products and you provide a mug design software, it must solve certain purposes or demands that clients have. What could those be? Read on to know. FIT FOR EVERY PURPOSE It would be wrong to assume that “The first purpose, of course, is to have coffee.” It’s not as easy as it sounds. For mug collectors, the purpose of owning a mug is not confined to drinking coffee. One also might be designing it for gifting purposes, for collection and display, for carrying it along, to make a pen stand out of it or just to make the most out of the coffee moments. Hence you must make sure that you offer a tool that can help them to design a mug fit for every purpose and occasion. FIT FOR EVERY FUNCTIONALITY What comes next is the functionality of the mug. Is it going to be put underneath the espresso maker for the coffee to be poured? Or is it going to be used to stir the mixture of coffee, sugar and milk in it? As a store owner, you can mull over these questions so that you can provide a wide range of materials to choose from. Customers also consider the type of washing (hand wash or dishwashing) they will put the mug through. And of course, the warmth around the hot steaming cuppa that they like to feel during winters. THE ANATOMY OF THE MUG Shape, size and material are the most important aspects that a mug design software should take care of. You can offer a lot of options when it comes to materials including metal, ceramic, glass, graphene etc. Also, the tool should be flexible enough to provide the size and shape that the customer wants. This is because the customers decide the shape and size of the mug based on the quantity of coffee they want the mug to hold. So make sure that the tool provides widening and narrowing options for the bottom and top of the mug. If possible, include a 3D rotator so that your customers can get an idea as to how the mug looks from every angle. LET THEM BE CREATIVE Do not limit your customers while they’re creating their favourite mug. Mugs that change colour according to the liquid poured, mugs with lids, artistic themed mugs...be ready to provide them all. Some customers like to design different prototypes and visualize them. Provide the option of saving multiple images and files to your customers as and when they’re designing the mug. There is a possibility that they will craft multiple designs before zeroing on the one they like the most. Reading this must have given you an idea as to what functionalities your mug design tool must serve. It’s time to change the way you make sales of personalized products. Let your customers be artisans. Invest into one of these tools now! View source: https://www.brushyourideas.com/blog/purposes-mug-designing-software-solve/

View Source: https://www.brushyourideas.com/blog/features-shoe-design-software-perfect/ People were hardly getting used to the fever of the web when another wave struck them quite unexpectedly. Yes, we are talking about the use of mobile devices which spread like a wildfire. It not only affected practices on the part of the users but all those business owners who migrated or launched new businesses on the web. The popularity of online businesses as a whole is quite obvious now and not something we are going to discuss here. In this article, we will talk about the transition of the print business and try to understand what will be more popular in the future: Web-to-print or mobile-to-print?
Online shopping became a trend quite within a short span of time. Almost all kind of businesses can now be seen on the web and they are doing pretty well. It’s not until recent that the print businesses also made a transition online to tap into the huge network of customers connected through the internet. But before it could even reach the acme of its success, other businesses started to migrate to mobile applications. Quite a few printers are also trying the formula of mobile applications to provide personalized products to their customers. So now a printer not only has competition on the web, but will also need to compete with mobile applications as well. But is it just a fad or do mobile-to-print apps have a better future than web-to-print websites? Choosing between web-to-print and mobile-to-print can be quite difficult and confusing. There are many technologies introduced everyday that claim to offer mobile services for print merchandise. But the truth is that nobody actually understands the print businesses as the printers do. Printers have firsthand experience of clients and their expectations. But now is the time they can’t avoid knowing about the web-to-print technology and how the market is changing in its presence. A web-to-print software generates print-ready files that can be modified and sent out for processing and printing. It doesn’t require the customer to know any designing or software usage. On the other hand, mobile-to-print is similar but the web-based-application is replaced by a mobile based application. A good number of businesses are doing really well with the help of mobile applications but can one size fit all? Counting the limitations of mobile apps, the first one is that they work differently for mobiles running on Android or iOS. Also, it’s difficult to design as well as check proof of the final designs of large formats prints including flyers, brochures, and other large prints. Apart from these hurdles, there are some other points to consider as well. The size of the file, bandwidth, the battery life of the device, and internet connectivity plays a great role. And a mobile device cannot match up with bigger devices like laptops in this case. Though every store owner wants consumers to have their apps, it’s practically impossible to keep running so many apps within the device. Hence, consumers are selective about the apps they keep in their phones. They either use it for social networking or a communicating device. At most, they will have a couple of shopping apps from the leading brands. Conclusion As a printer, if you are considering additional platforms for your customers to order merchandise, first judge yourself on how well you are already doing. If your web-to-print is implemented well and attracting a lot of orders, then you can mull over the addition of one more technology. But if it’s not doing great, then we suggest you to not divert your resources to other things. Rather, work upon offering a good web-to-print service and increasing your revenues as a priority. To sum it up, mobile-to-print can only be successful as a branch of your web-to-print technology. Mobile revolution may work for other businesses, but for print business, web-to-print will be the first choice for a long time to come. Once you are done with exploring your web-to-print and earning enough customers, you can move towards mobile-to-print for added benefits. Customized products have made a transition from a being a trend to generally making a space in our everyday lives. The credit for this largely goes to online stores selling customizable products. The availability of customized products in a few clicks has led to the success of the industry. With the rising competition in the printing industry, it is important to live up to your customers’ expectations to survive and succeed in your business.
One of the most important factors that determine the success of your web to print business is the product design tool you offer your customers. Here is a list of 6 qualities your product design tool must have to succeed in this industry. 1. IT SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE ACROSS BROWSERS. The foremost thing you need to check about your product designer tool is if it is compatible across the major browsers. Any glitches in your software across these browsers can adversely affect your store business. Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google, Safari, Bing, etc. are some of the browsers you need to do a test run on. Apart from that, also make sure your product design tool works proficiently on multiple devices be it computers, laptops, tablets, or mobile phones. 2. IT SHOULD ALLOW SOCIAL MEDIA SHARING AND LOGIN. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the world is addicted to social media at the moment. As they are always online on these portals, it is easier for them to directly login from their social media account. Consider offering direct login instead of going through the whole process of new user subscription. You should also offer direct share buttons for the products designed by your customers. In lieu, you get more subscribers and people sharing your products on social media platforms. 3. IT SHOULD INTEGRATE WELL WITH YOUR EXISTING ECOMMERCE WEBSITE. No matter which ecommerce platform (Magento, Woocommerce, Shopify, Prestashop, etc) you have used to make your ecommerce website, the product design tool should integrate seamlessly with it. For this reason it is also a good idea to choose a product designer that is built specifically for your technology platform. For example, if you have a magento ecommerce website, you would do well to use a Magento product designer for your store. 4. IT SHOULD SUPPORT MULTIPLE LANGUAGES. If you wish to expand your business across the globe, the first thing you need to do it to enable your product designer tool to accept various languages. You can do this by opting for multilingual support within the tool which converts the inputs at the front-end interface and back-end interface in your preferred language(s). Consider the local languages of the major countries and regions you want to target for your business. 5. IT MUST HAVE QUALITY OUTPUT FOR DESIGNED PRODUCTS. To maintain the quality of your products, it’s very important that the print you are offering is of the best quality. For that, you need to ensure that your tool provides quality outputs of the customized products. If your final design is already of good quality, you can avoid hiring a dedicated designer to do the editing before final print. 6. IT SHOULD PROVIDE MULTIPLE PRODUCT OPTIONS TO THE CUSTOMER. One of the reasons why customers prefer online shopping for customized products is that they get a huge variety of products at a single place. Give your customers a lot of choices to choose from. Your product designer tool should ideally list out all the products available for personalization in the gallery. It should be easily accessible by the customers. Proper and precise instructions should be provided on how to design the particular products.

Offer quality products even if the product gets a bit costlier for that and always keep in touch with your customers and work upon their feedback to enhance your service quality. T-shirts are widely accepted as casual wear all around the globe and the demand never seems to drop down.
