Dashery is a simple turn-key starter
I’ve used this and also similar competitors - from marketplace style sites that allow your own site (like threadless & others) to entirely separate services like the Printify/gelato/printful @ shopify/Etsy/tiktok. Dashery is by far the easiest to use for product creation and it’s the only one that has a personal account manager I can email whenever. It’s lacking in a few areas of customization, but it’s a relatively new service that is improving all the time. It is difficult to drive traffic to it & I haven’t dug into SEO, but as far as customer support goes, they are great. It’s mostly hassle free and their product quality is pretty good. I don’t have to manage customer issues. Being part of teepublic marketplace doesn’t provide me with new customers for my site - only sales (pretty much daily) with small commissions. Dashery sales have good returns if you can generate them. It’s a good simple starter option for someone new to the shirt business. Shopify site & POD providers is far more complicated & time consuming, but the rewards down the line might be greater. However, the cost of entry comparison is no contest as dashery is free while you have to pay monthly to multiple services if you do it all on your own. I would probably rate my dashery experience a 4-4.5, but I think compared to alternatives it’s at the top of my list because they all have problems.
