A revolutionary new, low-cost way for print entrepreneurs to sell design online

/in , /by


Manchester, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 24 March 2013

A new service for print entrepreneurs was launched today in 12 countries and 9 languages. The TemplateCloud API allows online print shops and entrepreneurs to add thousands of designer templates to their existing website without requiring heavy investment.

Printers choose which designs to sell from a library of over 10,000 designs across a range of printed items like business cards, flyers, brochures and invitations. By embedding the TemplateCloud advanced editor into the printer’s website, their clients can personalise the design, upload photos or browse 14 million free images. Designs are available in English, French, Dutch, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Swedish, Italian and American English.

When a client checks out from the printer’s website, the TemplateCloud API makes a print-ready PDF automatically for the printer’s own presses or to send to a supplier, streamlining the whole process.

All TemplateCloud designs are crowd-sourced from a community of real designers. Designers use Adobe InDesign to build a template ­and no plugins are required. Graphic designers upload their finished design to TemplateCloud.com, where an automatic process converts this into an online editable template in minutes. Designs that sell best have industry-specific marketing copy and striking images, so designers are encouraged to invest time in each piece.

Chief Technology Officer of TemplateCloud, Peter Gunning, said “TemplateCloud isn’t like other design contests where businesses upload a brief, hundreds of designers enter their designs and only one designer wins. TemplateCloud is different. Our mantra is… design once, sell many. Each time a designer’s template is sold, anywhere in the world, we pay the designer a royalty – ­even if we translate it into a different language. Some of our top designers have already earned more than £5,000.”

Following an extensive private beta, TemplateCloud have today opened their API to general availability and are inviting print site owners and entrepreneurs who want to add online design capabilities to their site to register for developer documentation at http://www.templatecloud.com/developer

Designs are already being sold on print websites every day, including http://www.drukland.nl in The Netherlands, http://www.needaprint.ie in Ireland, http://www.flyerzone.co.uk in the United Kingdom and http://www.printing.com/fr in France.

TemplateCloud are also now accepting submissions from designers in the United Kingdom, Republic Of Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, New Zealand, Australia and the USA. Designers in Sweden, Italy and Portugal will be able to upload their designs from April. Gavin Cockerill, MD of TemplateCloud, said “A designer from Ireland can upload their design to the cloud and have it translated into French or Dutch automatically and be selling in a country they¹ve never visited, and in a language they don’t speak.”

Packages start at just £695 up front and minimum of £99/month.

Funding may also be available for budding entrepreneurs. TemplateCloud’s parent company, printing.com plc is a Delivery Partner for the UK Government¹s Start-Up Loan scheme. Entrepreneurs aged between 18-30 who live and work in England, could get a loan of up to £10,000 to help kick start their business. Find out more.

/in , /by


With its increasing popularity, postcard marketing is now the trend in the business world because it is the most convenient and effective way to advertise a product, services or a company. If you have not tried postcard campaign then read on for some simple marketing ideas to meet your interest.

First thing you need to do is to find a distribution center where you can easily distribute your postcards. It’s either you’ll provide a fixed place in your shop or store where customers as well as window shoppers can voluntarily get one or perhaps distribute it directly by yourself to various people. Take for instance your product is children’s wear then you need to find a place in the mall or park where you can easily give your postcards to people with kids. This will generally render positive results in your postcard marketing since you have given your postcards only to people who will take interest on your products.

Distributing your postcards randomly on a high traffic area is also another way of distributing your postcard. Remember that it’s not important who received your postcard the most important thing is the bulk of postcard you have distributed. Direct mailing is also one of the best postcard marketing distributions since it is convenient all you need to do is to provide the best mailing list.

Urgency is another way of catching the attention of your prospects. Inflation is already global people are trying to save and cut off their expenses. If you will include in your postcards redeemable coupons, discounts and offers with a limited time people will surely flock at your front door the moment they receive and read the message of your postcard.

Remember that when you are doing postcard marketing you are making your postcards as your representative; therefore just one mistake will surely destroy you and your company.

To prevent this mishap you should avoid confusing and unnecessary texts. Instead choose the best benefits of your service or products to arouse their interest and most of all choose the most adequate picture for your postcard to capture their attention.

To make your postcard really captivating you need to find use full color printing to ensure that the images in your postcard will have the best color combination and effect.  Make sure also that the image must compliment with your headline and should be significant to the readers or recipient of your postcards.
