I'm interested in selling my art on Threadless. Can you outline the main benefits of opening an Artist Shop? Specifically, I need to know if there are any costs, what operational responsibilities Threadless handles, the types of products available for my designs, and how much control I have over pricing and my earnings.
Navigate to threadless.com. Click on the 'Open a free online POD (print-on-demand) store' link. Identify and synthesize information regarding the cost of opening a shop, services provided by Threadless, product categories, and artist control over pricing and earnings. Provide a concise summary addressing all aspects of the task.
State that opening an Artist Shop is free and has zero out-of-pocket expenses. Confirm that Threadless handles operational aspects such as printing, shipping, and customer service (as part of a turnkey solution). List at least three distinct product categories artists can sell designs on (e.g., apparel, home decor, accessories). Explain that artists can set their own prices or use Threadless's pricing tool. Clarify that artists have control over their earnings/profit margins through their pricing decisions.
