Introduction
In recent years, with the development of consumer demand diversification and personalization, the Print-on-demand mode has risen. However, as the commercial scale is expanding, how to attract attention in own POD shop becomes the key point. Facebook is the advertising marketing tool that most enterprises will choose.
Print-on-demand is a business model that allows companies to print and ship products as they are ordered, rather than maintaining a large inventory of pre-printed products. Facebook advertising can be a useful tool for print-on-demand businesses to stand out in a crowded market and reach potential customers.
Here are some ways that print-on-demand businesses can use Facebook advertising to stand out:
POD audience positioning
Consumers generally have no rigid demand for customized creations, which belong to impulse consumption. Therefore, it is suggested that print-on-demand sellers first locate the audience of the product, and then select and market the product according to the audience’s concerns and preferences.
People buy customized products mainly for the purpose to show personality, keeping them as a souvenir, expressing emotion, and business customization.
You can start from the four purposes to select audience groups, such as outdoor, animation, pet fans, or people who have needs for holiday gifts.
Using core audiences to target Facebook ads early on is a nice idea. In addition to selecting a region, age, and gender, audiences can also be divided into three types: highly relevant, generally relevant, and irrelevant. Through targeting tests ranging from highly relevant to irrelevant, accumulate a certain number of well-performing audience interest keywords, which you can use in Facebook AD expansion.
POD advertising material test
When marketing print-on-demand merch for a certain category, you can view reference keywords and materials of popular products on third-party e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Etsy, or use websites/tools such as Google Trends and Facebook AD database to analyze current hot trends and best-selling products in the category.
- POD does not need to stock up in advance, which is very conducive to your product’s graphical measurement! The pattern material with a high click-through rate and conversion rate can be practiced as a regular creative for a long time, and the pattern with poor effect can also be quickly abandoned.

Re-marketing of the POD model
- User-defined audiences and similar audiences
Once the core audience has been advertised and some data has been accumulated, 10-15% of the budget can be allocated by you to create custom audiences and similar audiences for re-marketing.
- Selection of bidding strategy
It is suggested to test the decent audience and material using the cost cap/advertising cost return guarantee bidding strategy for delivery, which can avoid the collapse of advertising to the greatest extent.
Generally, when you are setting the budget, the upper limit of the budget can be set to $50-100, and the cost control amount is set to be greater than the CPA. The guaranteed return on an AD spending budget can range from $200 to $1,000, and the guaranteed return on AD spending is less than the average ROAS of the account. Otherwise, the advertisement may not run out. The specific value can be updated through continuous testing.
- Dynamic advertising

It is recommended to allocate 10-20% of your budget initially to test the effectiveness of dynamic ads, and increase the budget as you reach the right audience.
