Earlier, we explored the many benefits of the print on demand model – but there are some downsides to selling this way. These include:
Longer delivery times: because POD items are, by their very nature, made to order, they can take longer to create and ship to your customer. This can result in consumer frustration and impact their buying experience.
Quality control: as with any relationship with a third-party white-labeling supplier, the POD model makes it difficult to ensure full quality control over the products you’re putting out. This means that issues – such as misprints or color inaccuracies – can creep in. And lead to dissatisfied customers!
