You can let your imagination run wild with the things you can design for on all of these products! You don't have to settle with shirts alone!
If you have a flair for photography then you definitely want to utilize some of their other products like wall calendars, prints, notecards..etc. You can check out some of my photography merchandise here. To give people some different choices I even added little inspirational quotes on some of my photos.
The photography products can be a little bit tricky, just make sure that you have your designs made to the exact size and upload them to the page. Follow the guidelines that are given to you to make your photos look the best on your products!
Find the niche that you want to fit into and let your imagination go crazy! Just think of all of the great things you could put on these different products. Try to think like a customer and think what would get your attention if you were surfing around. What would it take to make you want to buy a product?
