We know it’s no secret that AI can generate art, but the real magic lies in how it can be used to elevate your print-on-demand business. Whether you’re creating designs or finding inspiration for unique styles, AI makes it easy to bring personalized creations to life, even if you don’t have a design background.. AI’s capability in generating art content is well established and understood by many at this point so we won’t dive into those specifics. Instead, this blog will highlight a few of the lesser-known perks of using AI to streamline your print-on-demand workflow.

  • Unique Imagery: While still focusing on a singular niche, AI can help you quickly create completely original imagery that can pander to your target audience and satisfy their needs.
  • Reduce Cost: This eliminates the need to hire a graphic designer, meaning that more of your budget can go towards marketing and onsite implementations.
  • Improved Scalability: Depending on the success of a certain design or product, you have the freedom to create multiple variations of this design.

Generating Product Mockups with AI

Creating designs is just the first step—sales and marketing succeed when potential customers can visualize how these designs will look on your products. From customizable textiles and home decor to canvas and wall art, giving your customer a visual understanding of what the product will look like when it arrives at their home is vital to creating conversions. Certain AI tools, such as Mockey, are perfect for achieving all sorts of e-commerce goals, with the ability to apply your designs to all types of products, from apparel and accessories to home and living decor, such as print-on-demand blankets.

These mockups can be created as both standard studio style product shots or as lifestyle shots that inserts the product into an environment for better visualization of use by your customers. They can be used across your website, social media, email marketing, and more. Showcasing your designs and products in real-life settings is crucial for driving sales and can even include AI-generated models to enhance professionalism. This approach helps build trust with new customers who may not yet be familiar with your brand.

Tip: While AI can help with product photo assets, Sensaria also has these merchandising assets available to our customers to help you get started.

Automating Your Print-on-Demand Marketplace Stores with AI

By targeting both high-volume and low-volume listings on marketplaces, such as Etsy, Tiktok Shop, Google Merchant Center, and more, AI tools for print-on-demand like Wondr AI, can allow you to import all your automation workflows into your marketplace account using a single click. Not only will AI import your workflows with a simple click, you can also scale your social media posts as well, making sure to utilize your AI-generated product mockups with an automated schedule. This means that you don’t have to worry about forgetting to post once or twice a week to ensure brand recognition and consistency among potential customers.

AI-Powered Customer Service Assistance

Using a powerful CRM to interact with customers on your site in real-time increases the amount of time they spend on your site, and can help influence the buyer into purchasing a product. Tools such as Drift can help users once they land on your site by offering personalized Live Chat experiences, or custom chatbots that can be customized by you to fit a certain brand image, one which can attract new customers. AI for e-commerce can also enhance email marketing by automatically sending personalized messages to customers, keeping them informed about promotions, sales, and upcoming releases.
