A recent industry conversation revealed something game-changing about what successful POD sellers really want. It’s not just about the lowest price or biggest rebate—it’s about finding a true business partner who can adapt, innovate, and grow with them.
The Wake-Up Call That Changed Everything
We recently spoke with a successful POD seller about our new volume rebate program—one that could save thousands of dollars annually. Her response surprised us: she was staying with her current provider because they had sourced a specialized product her customers desperately wanted.
This moment crystallized a massive gap in the POD industry—and revealed exactly what Prinstant needed to become.
What High-Volume Sellers Really Want
It’s About Solutions, Not Just Savings
This seller’s decision to forgo significant cost savings revealed what truly drives POD success: providers who can solve problems, not just process orders.
She chose to stay with a competitor who:
- ✅ Sourced a unique specialty product outside their standard catalog
- ✅ Took initiative to expand their offerings based on her needs
- ✅ Showed genuine investment in her business growth
- ✅ Proved they could adapt to market demands
The Real Cost of Generic POD Providers
Most POD platforms compete on price alone, but smart sellers understand the hidden costs of limited thinking:
Innovation Stagnation:
- Same products as every other seller
- No competitive advantage in the market
- Limited ability to capture emerging trends
Growth Limitations:
- Can’t expand into new product categories
- Miss out on high-margin specialty items
- Stuck with whatever’s in the standard catalog
Technology Deficit:
- Manual order processing and inventory management
- Limited platform integrations that create workflow bottlenecks
- Outdated systems that slow down business growth
- No automation tools to scale efficiently
Partnership Deficit:
- Transactional relationship only
- No strategic business input
- No proactive solution development
