Making It In The Personalized Gift Business

Generic gifts can get a bit boring and they don’t always show the person you’re giving them to that you’ve put a lot of thought and effort into it. A great solution to this that has gained a lot of popularity over the years is personalized gifts. The industry for personalized gifts has grown massively in the last few years, perhaps as a result of new technologies that have opened up the possibilities for personalization. There’s not really much left that we can’t put somebody’s name on. If you’re looking for a new business opportunity then why not think about trying to capitalize on the popularity of the personalized gift. These are the key elements you need to consider.

Lay Out A Good Plan

It’s not quite as simple as just getting any old thing and just engraving somebody’s name on it. You need to come up with something a bit more unique than that. Most companies tend to focus on one specific product, like phone cases for example, and then look at their different options for personalization. Alternatively, you could specialize in one particular material and engrave anything made with that. The main thing to get right at this stage is originality. There are thousands of companies that will sell you a personalized teddy bear so you won’t get very far with that.

 

 

 

Decide On A Method

There is a load of different ways that you can add the actual personalization to things, each with their pros and cons. If you are going to personalize metal items, using an engraving system from somebody like boss lasers has its benefits. If you’re using a machine engraver, it would be far less efficient as it would take longer and you wouldn’t have anywhere near the level of accuracy. If you are considering something in a fabric material, remember that you are going to have to use machinery that can embroider it for you. Again, this is going to be a lot more time-consuming and expensive and so it might not be the best business model.

 

 

Logo

Personalized gift companies are made or broken on the strength of their design skills and their ability to put images onto various items. Both of those skills are proven in a good logo. If a customer sees one of your blank products and the logo is poorly designed and badly administered, they aren’t going to trust you with their gift. Come up with something that really shows off your skills as a designer and make sure that it’s very professionally made.

 

 

Marketing

Marketing your business is obviously important regardless of the industry. In the personalized gift market, there is a hell of a lot of competition so you’ll need to be clever about it. If you are going to make mock ups of your products, make sure that you use a good range of names so most people can see what their own name would look like.

If you follow these steps you should be able to build a successful business, but be aware that your work will be incredibly seasonal.
