As brand-builders we all want to make successful products that our customers love. Our data shows that slogan designs are some of the highest performing t-shirt designs ever made on Teemill. This is because they can quickly represent an important cause and t-shirts are a good way to spread a message. They're also great for brands as they're really easy to design.<\/p>

In this blog, we're going to give you some quick ideas on how to make powerful slogan t-shirts today, so they can be your next best sellers tomorrow. We've even added some ready-made slogan templates<\/a> to the Teemill Studio to help you get started.<\/p>

The Teemill platform comes with all of the tools you need to make slogan t-shirts in literally under a minute without using Photoshop or any other platform. They're quick, easy and your customers will love them.<\/p>

Here are some tips to remember when making your own amazing slogan designs.<\/p>

Keep it simple<\/h3>

Some of the best slogan designs are simple and to the point. A great example is Choose Love. Just these two words built an entire brand. They sold over a 100,000 t-shirts worldwide and it has been one of the biggest charity campaigns in the last 10 years. Those two little words cut straight to the feeling, meaning the t-shirts resonated with literally thousands of people.<\/p>

\"\"

A great way to do this for your brand is to simplify your values down to one or two words. For example, if you're a brand all about sea, sun and surfing you could simplify your slogan to just Surf. Or perhaps if you\u2019re based around positive vibes or happy mantras, you could try words like Joy, Love or even Hug Me.<\/p>

Anything that represents your brand is really great if it's just short and simple when it comes to slogans.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Have some fun<\/h3>

In business we can be really serious about our brand. It matters whether we perform well and what happens behind the scenes. However, we can forget sometimes that our customers just want to have fun. They want to buy things that make their family and themselves feel good and something they can all have a laugh about.

While there is a serious side to the things we make - for example, sustainability<\/a> is a very serious issue and what your brand is doing towards that issue is really important, that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have fun with your designs. T-shirts can still have super funny puns or jokes and these are a great way to make your brand really light and cheery.<\/p>

For example, It's Too Hot would be a great summer seller in the warmer seasons or Stay Pawsitive is perfect if your target audience are animal-lovers.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Presentation is everything<\/strong><\/h3>

If you want a best-selling slogan design, it's about presenting the t-shirt to the customer really well - not always just having a rad design. Magic models might be convenient but they're not the best route to making your next number one product.<\/p>

A mediocre t-shirt design accompanied with awesome photography<\/a> that you've taken yourself is going to sell so much better on your site than a really clever design you've displayed using mock-ups.<\/p>

Making your own product photography doesn't have to be hard either.<\/p>

You can order your own samples at trade prices from your Teemill store using the Wholesale Shop<\/a>. To visit the Wholesale Shop<\/a>, go to Samples in the main menu of your Teemill dashboard.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Once you have your samples, just grab your phone, some friends and create a photo shoot in your local park, forest, or anywhere that represents your brand's values. You can use your photos across social media, your store, your newsletters - the possibilities are totally endless. And one shoot can take you a really long way when it comes to content.<\/p>

Speedy slogan designs<\/h3>

Lastly, it's so easy to build a slogan design in Teemill Studio<\/a>, it can literally take under a minute. Ready?

\"\"

Go to Products<\/a> in the main menu of your Teemill dashboard and click Add New<\/a>. When you're in the Studio, the first thing to do is to pick your product. You can choose from Men's, Women's, Kids, or even Art Prints.

\"\"

Once you've chosen your product, head to the Design tab<\/a> on the right-hand side. Tap the button called Text and type out your slogan in the text box. In here you'll find loads of fonts and sizes to choose from, as well as options to change the colour.<\/p>

If you're looking for even more cool ways to customise your text, check out the Advanced Option section. Awesome effects like shadows, gradients and distressing are all available to make your slogan really stand out.<\/p>

\"\"

When you're happy with your design, zip over to Save on the right and give your new design a product name and write in your product description.<\/p>

It's a good idea to use SEO<\/a> (Search Engine Optimisation<\/a>) when it comes to writing your product descriptions<\/a>. You can find out how to do this with our SEO series over on Academy<\/a> or you can check it out here<\/a>.

Hit save and you're done.

As you can see, with Teemill it's super easy to launch a new product. So why not try a slogan design, see what works and what doesn't, and you can always create another one within a minute later.
