Do you run an e-commerce business? If so, you may have stumbled at some of the many hurdles that present themselves to you. There can be a surprising amount of admin involved in e-commerce, and feeling a little overwhelmed at times is normal. On top of that, you don’t think you’d have to worry about how your products are presented in your store. Imagery is obviously important, but showcasing your products to optimise sales isn’t always straightforward. Step up, Customily - the new product designer for your e-products!

“Design, sell, and print custom products faster and more effectively than ever before. Let your customer’s imagination fly, and Customily will do the rest.” That’s the mantra Customily live by, and judging by their studies, they’re doing a pretty good job. To sign up, request a demo and see if Customily is the service for you, they offer a 14-day free trial. Pricing may seem steep, $49 a month, but the rewards of increased sales on the site would certainly bring some sense to this costing. Customily personalise their sales scale depending on your business model, which we think is a really considerate addition. Once you sign up, select the e-commerce platform where your products will be found, ‘Shopify, Woocommerce, Magento, etc. Customily caters their designs to their respective platforms which is a nice touch! The product designs range from ‘t-shirts, jewellery, stationary, phone cases and many more’ so whatever your wares, Customily surely has you covered. 

Subscribing to Customily gives you access to the custom designer for whichever platform you will use, Customily then provides you with your assets the whole way through the process, giving you the opportunity to save all necessary files in high-res. They also offer web to print tools so you can create physical product designs for print. Customily has been created by product design experts, which means they have knowledge you may not possess. If you ever get stuck, in the ‘resources’ section of the website, you can watch a series of video guides. It all seems perfect, but we can’t ignore the pricing. We’re not in a position where we need product designs for e-commerce, but considering you’ll be spending $590 a year, you will need to account for this in your outgoings to see if it’s financially viable. 

Customily has potential, and we like their whole model. They showcase some very clean and attractive designs for products, helping start-ups stand up against the e-commerce big hitters. We’re not sure if the cost is truly worth it but this is probably based off its individual merits. Try it for yourself and see if it helps you and your business flourish! 

Customily, not bad. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼/5
