Hey there!

Welcome to the first issue of the mockup club. We’re changing things up from our old newsletter to bring you something better. More useful, more focused, and full of insights on mockups, design, and print-on-demand. Just the good stuff, nothing you don’t need.

Spotlight: Postcards 📮

Ever heard of Postcrossing? It's this cool project where people exchange postcards all over the world. Shows you how much postcards are still in the game. Postcards might seem old-school, but they're a gold mine for niche ideas. They're not just easy to make; they come with a nostalgic charm that many people still love today.

How to make and sell them?

• Design yourself: Use any design skill to make postcards. Sell them online printed through Printful or Printify on demand, either as single prints or in sets, or completely in digital format.
• Use AI: Try generative AI like ChatGPT or Midjourney to create designs. A simple prompt like "Create a nostalgic "Greetings from..." postcard for Vancouver in 16:9 landscape format" can get you started.
• Generate mockups: Use our Postcard Mockup Generator to show off your designs quickly on your store or social media.

What's new 📰

• On Mockup Generator, we're busy at work expanding our mockup catalog. Check out both new free and premium options. Our poster mockups have gotten a fresh update, and just in time for the season, we've introduced holiday mockups featuring Easter themes.

• We've launched a custom editing tool for Pro users to give you even more control over your designs individually.

• On the technical side, we are making improvements that will allow for new features, like showcasing multiple products (think posters) in a single mockup or creating split posters coming as feedback from our users.

Stay tuned for more updates!

Who we are 💻

We’re Ebru and Olha, and our furry pal Tarchin. We are software developers with a big love for print-on-demand and design.

It began as a side hustle, grew with your support, and here we are, improving it every day based on what you tell us.

Thanks for joining us on this new venture. We’re here to make your design and print-on-demand journey as fruitful and fulfilling as possible. If you have any idea or suggestion please let us know.
