Keep sales rolling until Christmas with digital products

Add digital products to your store now and sell them all the way up to December 25th thanks to instant delivery. Sales needn’t stop.

Smash your sales records by offering digital products this holiday season. We’ve put together a bunch of ideas for you below (along with free tools linked in each section to help you get started). Don’t forget, you don’t need to be a design wizard. You have a ton of free templates here too.

Repurpose existing digital products

Think of a successful digital product you launched this past year. Then, make it holiday-ready. Here’s a few examples: 

  • Digital coloring book. Create festive themed pictures to color in-app or print out. Just remove the color from one of your designs using Photoshop, or there are plenty of tools online.
  • Lightroom preset. Consider creating a winter photo filter. Bring down the saturation and add a frosty tint, or apply a grainy texture and warm up the colors for a vintage disposable film vibe.
  • Digital art. Fans go crazy for your artwork? Offer limited edition printable artwork for fans to download and print out, only available during December.

Prepare digital products

Holiday theme e-card designs 

Digital e-card designs encourage sustainable shopping and save paper. Offer a set of digital e-card designs for fans to forward to family and friends. Get started via the button below.

  • Go the extra mile—consider animating your e-card or adding sounds. 
  • Psst—use Canva’s e-card builder. They have a ton of templates you customize and animate. 
  • Alternatively, provide design templates (editable photoshop, indesign, or illustrator files), so your fans can customize and make their own.

Audio files 

Got a popular line or catch phrase your fans loved in one of your livestreams this year? Try your hand at selling the moment in the form of an audio file. Your community can download and use it as ringtones, notification tones, and more. 

Further, if you’re a music artist, producer (or just a bit of a whiz with sound), consider selling audio files. Sell limited edition albums for your fans to listen to while they enjoy festivities. 

Upload audio files

Create guides and e-books

Inspire your fans with your digital products this holiday season. Take your ideas to Canva and make a guide. You might create recipes for festive bakes, crafty ideas for DIY gifts, a wreath making step-by-step, or a festive knitting pattern for fans to knit their dog a Christmas jumper—we could go on.

Head to Canva below to use the e-book builder. Pick a design, add your content, then add pages via the button at the bottom of the editor.

Revolutionizing fitness: How Champsworth’s gym went digital

Fans will be preparing globally for 2021 over the coming weeks by planning their fitness and wellness goals. With gyms closing and social distancing in place, health and fitness creators are finding perfect opportunities to help their communities achieve the same results independently indoors.

LA based creator and fitness instructor Champsworth Online & Uncensored is living proof of how digital products are game-changing for his industry. Stick with us and find out how.

Fitness creator Champsworth Online & Uncensored shares how after his gym closing, he dropped a digital fitness program for fans to work out at home.

Keep calm, drop a digital fitness plan, carry on

After Harris Martin, founder of Champsworth Online and Uncensored discovered the chance to continue earning by offering his services and content digitally. Having to close and re-open his gym several times forced him to consider other options. Not being able to train clients or deliver fitness plans face to face meant digitizing his content and profession meant keeping his hustle moving, setting him up to keep profits going in the new year.

  • The ability to keep fans (and himself) active social distancing restrictions and regulations changing regularly
  • Guiding and encouraging clients to achieve their goals independently through his thorough content without being physically there with them 
  • An opportunity to keep generating income and continue doing what he does best—helping his followers become better versions of themselves, despite the obstacles of 2020
  • Instant delivery. With a simple download, fans can get going right away while they’re feeling motivated, without any excuses.

In it together and getting fit from home 

What’s so smart about the content included in the program is it’s tailored not only for individuals with real goals and determination, but it’s designed specifically for working out at home. His content taps into his entire community’s needs (and beyond), from beginners to fitness fanatics—plus, no weights are needed and no goal set is unreachable. 

The downloadable fitness program bundle includes 9 workout videos, a nutrition plan, biweekly weigh-ins, and fitness examinations. Above the fact that Harris is able to share his expertise and positivity through his product, promoting on social media platforms such as Instagram has reaped insane success so far. 

The digital fitness bundle gives fans a sense of community in sharing their fitness journeys, tips and experiences together on social media. Harris and his fans are going through the same experience right now, so launching a digital product was the perfect way to adapt, stay fit, and keep connected. The Digital Launcher was everything he needed to make his gym, services and concept accessible to anyone.

We’re obsessed with the tenacity of this creator and everything he’s achieved (despite the obstacles) with determination to make his digital fitness program not only keep himself afloat, but support others. Thank you to Harris for sharing his story. Find Champsworth Online & Uncensored on Instagram, or head straight to his store.

An audio digital product is any file you can listen to–for example, we’ve seen podcasts, audio books, music files, house and jazz mixes, and many more. Start considering how yours will take shape and keep reading for details on how to sell audio files and get inspo from other creators.

Preparing audio files for upload

  • Audio files should be uploaded in MP3 format 
  • Use the product description in the Digital Launcher to explain what your audio digital product is, how it can be used, and how your community can listen after download.
  • Check out effective mobile templates in the mock-up vault to create the perfect product preview. Make sure the images you select for your listing sums up your audio digital product. You might come up with an album cover, a book cover with a play button (to make it clear it’s an audio file), or a phone with sound waves behind a phone mock-up to demonstrate a ringtone.

Music tracks and albums

Audio digital products are perfect for musicians, music artists and songwriters. Upload tracks, singles, mixes and jingles to the Digital Launcher for fans to enjoy in many ways. EIGHTEEN02 uses their product description to describe how their beat can be listened to as background music, applied as intro music on video projects, or simply played to listen to and help fans relax.
