W.R.A.P. certification

[tl-cool]

Hi,

Could you please recommend an app (print-on-demand) with products which are  W.R.A.P. certificate and made from Eco fabric or 100% Organic Cotton?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hey, Lucy.

Julie here from Shopify Support. I noticed this is your first post; welcome to the Shopify Community! 

While there are plenty of print-on-demand apps that offer eco-friendly products, it'll probably be a bit difficult to find suppliers who are specifically W.R.A.P. certified. However, I did a bit of digging and managed to find an option for you! 

One of our most popular print-on-demand apps, Printify, actually offers an integration with an Australian-based supplier called The Print Bar. This supplier is W.R.A.P. certified and offers both t-shirts and sweatshirts. If you're wanting to sell these particular products, then you can start importing them from The Print Bar into your own store using Printify.

If you are interested in exploring eco-friendly and organic products from suppliers that aren't W.R.A.P. certified, then I suggest looking into T-Pop: Print on Demand. This app specializes in ethically-sourced, eco-friendly products and integrates with suppliers throughout Europe. They all have some great reviews! If you'd like to check out their product catalog, you can access that right here. 

I actually helped a merchant who was recently looking for eco-friendly greeting cards here in the Community Forums. If you're considering selling these types of products, then I recommend checking out my reply to this post here. There are a few options outlined there that may be worth exploring.

As you continue working on your store, I suggest checking out our blog post, "Earth Day is Every Day: 18 Sustainable Stores to Inspire Your Business". There, you'll learn about some other eco-friendly businesses and how they've found success through their online sales. This post also includes some great tips for new business owners that you should find inspiring! 

I'd love to learn about your plans for your brand and the types of products you'll be selling. Feel free to respond here and let me know!

Hi Julie,

Happy New Year, wishing you a wonderful year ahead!

Just want to thank you for the support and let you know that I launched my online store on Monday.

The name of the store is www.tlcoolshop.co.uk. I will be happy to hear what you think about it.

I have chosen to work with Printify app - very easy to work with the app and the sep up is very clear. 

Many thanks once again,
Have a lovely evening
Lucy

Thanks so much for your kind words, Lucy!

I'm happy that you've been enjoying Printify. I also appreciate you sharing your store link and I'm glad to hear that you're officially in business. 

Your online store looks great and I love how you added a favicon, giving your website a professional touch. I also really like the slideshow images you've created; they complement the look and feel of your website quite well.

Have you considered creating a logo? Adding a logo to your online store can definitely help you build a brand that stands out. We actually have a free logo maker tool called Hatchful that will allow you to easily create a logo using a number of eye-catching templates. Once you create a logo with Hatchful, you'll be able to save it to your device and upload it to your theme. It looks like you may be using the Minimal theme, in which case you can refer to these instructions on how to add your logo to your online store. 

The blog is also a nice touch! How are you sharing your blog posts? Sharing your blog posts on social media is an excellent way to reach a wider audience and increase brand recognition. Once you land some sales and build an email list, you can start to include your blog posts in email marketing newsletters. If you plan on continuing to publish blog posts, I suggest checking out our guide, "How to Start a Blog You Can Grow Into a Business". There, you'll find ideas on how you can write engaging blog posts and create a publishing strategy to keep track of your ideas. 

I hope you found this feedback useful! If you're looking for further advice, we also have a Store Feedback discussion board here in the Shopify Community Forums, where other Shopify merchants, staff members, and Shopify Experts are always happy to offer some feedback. Feel free to share your store link there.

Now that your store is launched, how are you planning on promoting it? I'd love to hear about your marketing ideas!
