How to Expand Your International Etsy Store with Print-On-Demand

Writer's picture: TeleportTeleport

If you're running an Etsy store like Printing Smarter, you're already off to a great start! With a polished banner, strong product photography, and impressive video content, you’ve built a solid foundation. Specializing in 3D printed accessories for popular items like IKEA products and gaming controllers is a smart move—it’s clear you understand the value of focusing on a core product and offering complementary accessories. With over 5,500 sales, you're already doing fantastic, but there’s always room to grow, especially when it comes to international expansion.

One thing to consider is pricing. While your prices are competitive, they might be a little low, especially when factoring in international shipping costs. Shipping internationally can significantly increase the total cost for customers, making it harder for people outside of your region to purchase. This is where a print-on-demand service can be a game-changer. By partnering with a 3D printing service in the U.S., like Slant 3D, you could offer your products to U.S. customers without the steep international shipping fees. Simply add U.S.-focused listings to your store, and our print farm will handle the production and shipping from within the States, getting your products to customers faster and cheaper.






Not only does this approach allow you to offer free shipping within the U.S., which can boost your search rankings, but it also expands your market significantly. You’d be able to charge a higher price point to cover the added convenience of free shipping, and customers would still feel like they’re getting a great deal. The best part? You don’t have to worry about inventory management or the logistics of shipping across borders—just focus on creating new designs and scaling your store.

If you’re looking to maximize your sales further, consider running occasional promotions. For items that aren’t moving as quickly, running a sale can trigger notifications to your Etsy followers and even convert shoppers who have your items sitting in their carts. This quick action can help boost sales and clear out slower-moving products. All in all, your store is in an excellent place, but with a few tweaks—like adding a U.S. print-on-demand option—you could unlock a whole new level of growth!
