December 2020 - Spring

That time of year has come around already. US fans are now past the standard delivery shipping cut-off dates, and have until December 18th for rush shipping or 21st for super rush shipping if they’d like to get their orders in time for the Christmas Holiday period. From now onwards is the perfect time to really push your hustle with digital products.

Make your digital products unmissable for fans right up to Christmas

The benefits of digital products are boundless, but the opportunity to promote your digital products right up to the Christmas holiday (and during it) is second to none. With instant delivery and no shipping or logistics to worry about, there’s every reason to continue dropping new digital products and promoting on social platforms. Here’s a few ideas.

This is your chance to sell your content in the form of an e-book. Release your own exclusive zine like Lovette Artistry or create christmas check-lists and holiday themed recipes (because this season is for eating).
Push your latest e-comic for followers to enjoy over the break like Lindo Yes.
Consider fans who are late to the game buying Christmas gifts—this year, home improvements and decor is huge (since we’re spending so much time indoors). Upload your coolest images to the Digital Launcher so fans can download and start using them as printable posters.
Entertainment and activity themed creative digital products are booming this year. Check out Studio Knit’s knitting guides and patterns or uh.meg’s ingenious idea of selling her own custom brushes for fans to download and start using on Procreate.
Audio files such as ringtones, music singles, podcasts and audiobooks
Digital calendars and planners fans can use to set goals and keep organized in the New Year

Celebrate festivities virtually with your community

Fans will love celebrating the festive season with you by purchasing your digital home decor, crafts, activities, and entertainment. The variety of products to drop up until Christmas are endless. For example, why not encourage your community to shop sustainably and consciously by providing a set of digital e-cards for them to forward to family and friends.

With instant delivery, no carbon footprint, and less paper waste, fans can spread festivities virtually, without any waiting time or shipping costs to consider. Another extremely simple digital product to create and sell to fans are holiday themed Lightroom photo filters and presets. Bonnie Rzm has the ball rolling already, releasing several classic holiday photo aesthetics for fans to apply to their images such as Snowfall and Chilli.

Holiday themed digital wallpapers for fans devices are popular—Caroline Manning has nailed it with her Drippy holiday wallpaper bundle. Also, consider taking it up a notch and creating a holiday themed iOS design pack of widgets and wallpapers. Entertain fans in the next few weeks by releasing products such as digital how-to guides, craft tutorials, photo filters and downloadable coloring books. Deliberately Creative and Printables Lane have both dropped Christmas themed printable coloring books.

As the constantly evolving leader in creator commerce, we’re introducing another way to give your community the best experience possible. By connecting a custom domain, you’re quite literally levelling up your brand. Here’s why.

Enhance your brand identity

A custom domain provides your community with a seamless, fully branded experience. Consistency is key—your brand is already ‘legit’, but a custom store URL allows you to really start owning a space for your products that you can be proud of. Connecting your own domain means fans needn’t leave your website to visit your store, making everything discoverable in one place.

Making a lasting impression for every single fan that lands on your storefront is crucial, creating seamless pathways between your social platforms and store. Above all, the aim is for you and your content to stand out and look flawlessly professional.

Put yourself on the map

This new feature bumps up your rankings on search engines, making it easy for your community to find your store, as well as revisit it. Plus, having your unique domain encourages trust. Fans are more likely to click on your promotional campaigns if they’re able to draw a clear connection between you and your store.

Choosing a domain for your store

Choosing a domain name is easy and it’ll be an obvious choice for most creators. If that’s not you, there’s just one rule—consistency is key. Make sure your domain reflects your identity and online brand across all your other platforms. Think about the name your fans know you by. It’s important to use wording they will recognize right away. What’s the easiest name for your fans to type into their search bar and remember?

For example, if your Instagram social handle is @TheCreator and your YouTube URL is https://www.youtube.com/thecreator, your domain name should be https://www.thecreator.com

Find out how to connect a custom domain to your store by visiting the custom domain guide or head straight to the stores section of your dashboard to get started.
