How to create a glitter sticker for your phone

You can't change our mind: [custom stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/custom-stickers "custom stickers") are the best way to customize your phone.

![custom glitter stickers for your phone](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/b525d560-dea5-4fb9-989b-f7f5458ac184)

And if you're in the mood for adding a dash of spring glee and glitter to your phone, we have some good news - we make some of the finest [custom glitter stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/glitter-stickers "custom glitter stickers") you can print on the internet too!

So how do you make the best and glitteriest stickers for your phone? Let's take a look now at how to use Sticker Mule's Studio tool (ready with sticker templates) to create these fun & shiny stickers in no time - it's quick and easy!

## Why choose glitter stickers for your cell phone?

Now, you could, of course, customize your phone with a new and different (perhaps even glittery) phone cover. But our preferred method — no surprise here — is to use custom stickers.

That's because stickers have obvious advantages when it comes to customization:

- __They’re super affordable__. Especially compared to the cost of a new, quality case.
- __They’re easy to apply and replace__. You can stick, remove, and repeat as often as you’d like. 
- __They’re durable and ready to take a beating__. Our quality stickers are made of durable vinyl that is scratch-proof, waterproof, dust- and sunlight-proof. Death proof. You name it.

To top it off, there's something unique and whimsical about a well-designed glitter sticker, with its shimmering iridescence and rainbow palette. It's a dazzling way to showcase a friendly, light-hearted, doesn't-take-themselves-seriously type of personality. 

And, of course, it adds the perfect little sprinkling of extra cheer on your personal device.

## How to design your glitter sticker with Sticker Mule's Studio

A design is only as good as the creative mind behind it — and the tools used for the job. Now, you take care of the creativity part, while we provide a canvas for your imagination — in this case, our own browser-based design tool, [Sticker Mule's Studio](https://www.stickermule.com/studio "free online sticker label design tool").

Studio was made to make life easier for our customers. To use it:

1. Access [stickermule.com/studio](http://stickermule.com/studio "free online design tool")
2. __Create an account or log in__ to your Sticker Mule account. This step is optional, but it does have the benefit of saving your work automatically to your account.
3. Use one of our __ready-made design templates__ as a starting point (like our custom sticker templates), or start from scratch.
4. __Add photos, text, shapes, colors__, and any other design elements you’d like!
5. Love the result? __Download your masterpiece__ in a variety of available formats, and use the file to place an order for [glitter stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/glitter-stickers "custom glitter stickers for phone"). 

##Designing your glitter sticker

![custom phone glitter sticker of a mermaid](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/c21b8af5-edb2-4aef-ad77-cf1cb39924d4)

Designing stickers is its own type of art form. If this is your first time doing so, a good place to start is [Hayden Aube's video tutorial](https://www.stickermule.com/blog/how-to-design-stickers "how to design stickers online") for Sticker Mule. 

A few things to keep in mind as you design a glitter sticker for your phone:

- Start with a [template](https://www.stickermule.com/studio/templates?q=sticker "free sticker templates online") that includes larger text. Ideally, people shouldn’t need Sherlock Holmes’ magnifying glass to read what your sticker says.
- Remember, a template is a suggestion to help get ideas flowing. You can still customize any aspect of the template with your own images, text, and icons to shape your unique style.
- Some colors naturally lend themselves better to the iridescent shine of glitter stickers. Check out [how we'll set up your custom glitter stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/support/how-will-you-set-up-my-glitter-stickers "how we set up custom glitter stickers for printing"), to help when picking your colors and background. 

Of course, once your order is placed, we’ll send an online proof of your artwork as a glitter sticker, so you can make sure it looks exactly the way you want it! 

##Caring for your glitter sticker and cell phone

Our stickers are made to last, but here are some things you can do to make the most of them:

- Make sure to clean your phone with a microfiber cloth before applying the sticker. The application area should also be perfectly dry.
- Apply with a slow, but firm motion, smoothing out any air bubbles for a clean and neat look.
- When cleaning your sticker, use a microfiber cloth and avoid rubbing excessively. If any dirt accumulates on the sticker, clean it with a slightly damp cloth. This will help keep your sticker sparkling for a long time.
- When removing or replacing your sticker, remember to avoid using anything sharp or abrasive. If the sticker leaves a residue, a little warm water or rubbing alcohol should suffice, [but there's no lack of other available options](https://www.stickermule.com/blog/how-to-remove-sticker-residue "how to remove sticker residue from phones").

##In a few words

Besides looking delightful on your phone or phone cover, [glitter stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/glitter-stickers "glitter stickers") can also be a lot of fun to design. Don't believe us? Check out Sticker Mule's Studio and see for yourself — you'll find there's no better way to explore your creativity and personalize your favorite device.

Enhance images for free with Upscale by Sticker Mule

If you work with images, you know how much quality matters. Our digital world relies on pictures every step of the way. As internet communication becomes increasingly image-based, our high-definition device screens demand more and more [high-resolution content](https://www.stickermule.com/upscale "ai upscale image") to match. 

This brings us to a big new change in the world of image editing: the use of AI. From prompt generators giving wings to your fantasy (and creating some [pretty nightmare-inducing hands](https://www.britannica.com/topic/Why-does-AI-art-screw-up-hands-and-fingers-2230501 "ai art hands enhancement")) to new editors helping you clear out other pesky tourists from your vacation memories, machine-learning algorithms are changing how we work with pictures. But AI is also helping us fine-tune, filter, and improve the resolution of our photos — which is just where [Upscale](https://www.stickermule.com/upscale "free upscale image or photo with ai") comes in.

![ai upscale image for free](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/a7188c0b-6a0b-4d64-828e-5bb233406ee7)

## What is Upscale?

You've got just the picture you need, but… it's tiny. Try to print it and you get a result more pixelated than a 90's arcade game. What can you do?

Well, this is the type of situation Upscale is here to help you with. With a few clicks, and little to no waiting time, Upscale will render your resolution image into an improved, high-quality one. 

The best part you already know: it's free.

## How does Upscale work?
It's simple. Or is it? Upscale uses machine-learning algorithms to increase and complement the number of pixels in your image, generating a sharper, higher-resolution version of your original upload.

Think of it not as zooming in, but as an [automatic filling in of the missing pixels](https://www.stickermule.com/support/how-does-upscale-increase-image-resolution "how upscale increases image resolution for free"). You know, basic AI magic.

But if you're worrying about complicated software, don't. Upscale is the definition of user-friendly: no downloads, installations, or technical knowledge required. Just upload your file, click a button, wait a sec, and download your newly-minted, upgraded image.

## Practical applications
Upscale comes in handy for just about any instance where you want to turn a low-quality image into a high-resolution one.

Need a printout with your business logo, but the graphic is too small? Upscale it and order your prints straight from our website.

Have the perfect sticker design, but the pixels are showing? Tip the Upscale in your favor!

[Dog photo too small for your custom t-shirt](https://www.stickermule.com/blog/how-to-print-your-dog-on-a-shirt-a-step-by-step-guide "how to put a dog photo on a custom t-shirt")? You know what to do.

## How to Upscale your image — A step-by-step guide

1. Go to the [Upscale page](https://www.stickermule.com/upscale "free photo resolution increase by ai") and login. (If you don't have an account, it only takes a couple clicks to create one with your Google account or email.)

2. Click 'Choose files' and select the file you want to enhance. If you have several files you want to improve, don't sweat it — you can add them all at once.

3. Upscale will automatically start enhancing your image by 2x. Hold tight! This will usually take just a few seconds, but depending on the amount of files and the size of the redimensioning, it could require a few minutes. 

4. Once processing is complete, you'll then see the original dimensions of your pictures, as well as the projected dimensions after the upscale. You can then select to upscale increase the resolution further (4x or 8x) if needed. 

5. Your upscale is ready! Download your file(s) or select one of our custom products to send your upgraded image directly to print.

## Tips and best practices
Upscaling is a simple process, but you'll get the best results if you keep a couple of things in mind. 

First of all, well, don't expect miracles. Your image will be improved either way, but if the original is too far gone down the pixelation black hole, there's only so much AI can do for you. Beep bop, sorry.

With that in mind, make sure you get started with the best version of your graphic available. You know — better input, better output.

Finally, as Dirty Harry would say, [a man's got to know his limitations](https://www.stickermule.com/support/file-size-limits-in-upscale "file size requirements for ai upscale images free"), and for Upscale that means your maximum upload size is 5MB per file, with a maximum pic size of 3000 x 3000 pixels. Which is likely several times more than you need, so no worries.

### Before and after example 

Take this small photo of a room filled with cute animals. It's only 300x300px large but it's being expanded to fill your screen. 

![small unenhanced image](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/bcdc8bb6-fc52-4307-8a13-1af97d2ae38c) 

Pretty bad, eh?

Now here's the same image, run through [Upscale](https://www.stickermule.com/upscale "free online photo resolution increaser"), that has a new 1200x1200 resolution. Doesn't that look better and less pixely? 

![upscaled image to increase resolution](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/b421f94c-6559-4692-85da-514649b43a73)

## To cap off

Just a few years ago, upgrading your image resolution would usually mean no end of trouble, time, and frustration tinkering around with a variety of software. 

Now, a few clicks will do it. No software downloads. And, with Upscale, it's free. Not something everyone can say.

Progress? Technology? Call it what you like — I call it beautiful.

Custom stand up pouches are here to help you stand out!

At Sticker Mule, we're constantly developing new and exciting products to help you customize your business as well as your day-to-day life. Now, meet the latest addition to our custom packaging product line: [custom stand up pouches](https://www.stickermule.com/products/stand-up-pouches "custom stand-up pouches")!

![custom stand up pouches for tea](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/a80357df-19a6-4b4e-9254-7ee9c9b12d08)

## The rise of custom packaging
E-commerce sales have been on a [steep ride for the past several years](https://www.statista.com/statistics/379046/worldwide-retail-e-commerce-sales/ "ecommerce sales per year"), bringing big changes in the way both businesses and consumers approach packaging.

Now it's all about custom packaging.

You know how it is — they say you never get a second chance to make a first impression. And when your buyer's first physical impression of your product is picking it up in the mail (as opposed to handling it in a brick-and-mortar store), it pays to go that extra mile and deliver the goods in style. 

It's simple, really: quality custom packaging equals a better customer experience and helps drive brand recognition and client retention — studies have shown that as many as [72% of consumers are influenced by the product's packaging](https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/news-polls/Most-Americans-Say-That-the-Design-of-a-Products-Packaging-Often-Influences-Their-Purchase-Decisions "polls about ecommerce product packaging"). 

Would you miss a perfect opportunity to feature your logo, brand colors, or company slogan as you ship and deliver your products? 

One look at some of the world's most renowned brands is enough to drive home the point. From the iconic iPhone packaging to the colorful McDonald's Happy Meal box and the memorably spartan Amazon logoed wrappings, the value of a branded experience is not lost on companies playing the big game.

##Introducing Sticker Mule’s custom printed stand up pouches

Sticker Mule's custom-printed stand-up pouches are the perfect way to deliver food products—anything from nut mixes to tea leaves, coffee beans, or what have you.

Also, yes, they're [FDA-approved](https://www.stickermule.com/support/are-stand-up-pouches-food-safe "FDA approved custom stand up pouches for food and coffee") — and customer-approved! After all, who doesn't love the practicality of a reusable, resealable, zip-lock pouch?

But foodstuff is just one of their many applications. Stand up pouches are incredibly versatile, and are quickly becoming indispensable for a slew of different industries: they're used for personal care and cosmetic items, small electronic accessories, and pharmaceuticals, to mention just a few use cases.

<WistiaVideo videoId="vwxag5hk0l" />

Our [custom stand up pouches](https://www.stickermule.com/products/stand-up-pouches "custom printed stand-up pouches") are a simple, reliable, and user-friendly way to package your products. 

Made of sturdy polyethylene material, they are easily heat-sealed and provide perfect impermeability, keeping out moisture and any foreign substances. Once opened, they keep their contents fresh thanks to the resealable zip closure.

On top of being a great way to store foodstuff or other items (thanks to the bottom gusset keeping them upright), our standup pouches can be easily customized with any design you choose, on both sides. Like our other products, they can be printed in full color and with full bleed — it's all up to your creative choices.

##What makes stand up pouches outstanding?

Custom stand up pouches are practical — lightweight, easy to fit anywhere, and perfect for repeated use. 
They can even be more environmentally friendly, as making them generates [fewer greenhouse gas emissions and spends less water](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/07/09/they-finally-built-better-ketchup-bottle-soon-its-going-be-everywhere/ "stand up pouches are more environmentally friendly") than comparable traditional packaging alternatives such as cans or jars.

They increase your brand recognition and improve your customers' unboxing experience with their modern, trendy look. Yes, they stand up and stand out.

In short, stand up pouches hit that sweet spot where convenience and style meet, all while delivering your brand name, along with your products, to your customer's shelves and tables.

It's no wonder, then, that the global stand-up pouch market is projected to reach a massive $20-billion-dollar value by 2026, nearly double its 2018 worth.

##Design your own stand up pouch today with Sticker Mule!

Designing your own branded stand up pouches has never been easier, and can be done on our [free Studio tool](https://www.stickermule.com/studio "free online design tool") in a few steps:

1. If you don't have a custom design ready, head over to our [stand up pouch templates page](https://www.stickermule.com/studio/templates/packaging/stand-up-pouches "custom stand up pouches templates for printing") and pick one for a starting point.

2. Customize the template with your text colors, logos, and any other graphics of your choice — the drag-n-drop interface makes it easy to add and tinker with all the elements in your design.

3. Once you're happy with the results, you can download your design or click on 'Order prints', on the top right corner, to start your order.

4. Select your desired size. We recommend our smaller 5" x 6" if you're ordering a sample — it's slightly more consumer-friendly than our larger, 7.75" x 10" pouch, and can fit a wide variety of use cases. Here you can also opt to include a punch hole to the stand up pouch.

5. Click 'Add to cart' and then check out. In 4 hours or less, you'll hear back from us with a proof showing exactly what your stand up pouch will look like once printed. If there's something you'd like to change, you can ask for revisions to the proof for free — we're happy to do them for you and resubmit your proof.

Otherwise, confirm your order and your brand new stand up pouches will soon be on their way to you.

Upgrade your signage with custom acrylic signs from Sticker Mule!

Signage has an important place in business, in events, in stores, galleries, and offices. Its main function is to provide indications and to advertise, but more and more it's also being used as part of companies' branding efforts — orienting, while at the same time promoting your brand's visual style. It's at that intersection of utility and design where [custom acrylic signs](https://www.stickermule.com/products/acrylic-signs "custom acrylic signs for business") really shine.

![custom acrylic signs for businesses](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/9127425d-0c95-4015-bcd7-70a40581145d)

Today, we'll show you how and why you might want to upgrade your signage with custom acrylic signs from Sticker Mule.

##First off: Why acrylic signs?

"We need to replace this acrylic sign — it's too old," said no one ever. Acrylic signs are famously durable — but that's just one of their many qualities. Modern look? Check. Professional aesthetic? You got it. Practical installation? Acrylic's your friend.

Acrylic never looks cheap, like plastic. It's [sturdier than most glass options](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly(methyl_methacrylate\)), and certainly has a more business-like appeal when contrasted to metal or wood alternatives.

As an added bonus, an acrylic sign makes for a great melee weapon if you ever need to Jason-Bourne your way out of your office. We've all been there, haven't we?

##Introducing Sticker Mule's acrylic signs

[Sticker Mule's acrylic signs](https://www.stickermule.com/products/acrylic-signs "clear business signs") make it easy to display your custom designs on a clear and quality acrylic canvas. Ordering is as easy as entering your desired sizing, uploading your design, and confirming your order.

Alternatively, you can also choose from a range of standard sizes (6″ × 6″, 12″ × 12″, 18″ × 24″, 24″ × 24″, and 36″ × 48″), as well as benefit from our [stack of design tools](https://www.stickermule.com/tools) and [our seamless proofing process](https://www.stickermule.com/support/can-i-see-a-proof-before-ordering).

![wall hanging business signs made from acrylic](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/6648e1a1-d7c9-4acb-a124-c35215797759)

##Benefits of choosing Sticker Mule

Quality products and first-rate pricing deals are only part of the reason for Sticker Mule's popularity.

Central to our culture is a devotion to our customers, and that includes super fast and reliable support. We address your questions and provide quick resolutions to any issues that might come up. Our service includes providing an unlimited number of free online proofs before you order and working with you to make sure you get the best version of your product.

Add to that other factors that set us apart from the competition —  free worldwide shipping, progressive bulk discounts that can see you save up to 67% on your order, and low-quantity orders starting from just 1 acrylic sign, and you begin to see why people love buying at Sticker Mule.

##Acrylic signs are ideal for business owners and event planners

Shaping a consistent and recognizable brand identity is no easy task, but it is an essential one for business owners and event planners to get ahead in a crowded, competitive, and dynamic market.

Key in forming your brand identity is the use of custom merchandise and supplies — and that's where [signage can play an important role](https://smallbusiness.chron.com/importance-signage-business-3348.html). Well-placed acrylic signs carrying your brand name, logo, and color themes can go a long way toward familiarizing the public with your brand —and [familiarity, as you well know, is half of marketing](https://newristics.com/heuristics-biases/familiarity-effect).

And if we're talking about events — especially more upscale ones, from [wedding welcome signs](https://junebugweddings.com/wedding-blog/7-wedding-signs-you-need/) to the schedule for a big product launch day, — there's nothing that conveys confident professionalism and competence quite as much as a well-designed acrylic sign.

![cool business signs](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/21bf9ed6-ee76-4b41-8fb3-1f063358c9e0)

##How to order your custom acrylic sign from Sticker Mule

We've said it before: Ordering at Sticker Mule is a breeze. But just in case you don't believe us, here are the steps you can follow to soon be the proud owner of your own custom acrylic sign:

1\. Go to [our acrylic signs page](https://www.stickermule.com/products/acrylic-signs). Pick quantity and size (either predetermined or your custom specs), then press "Continue".

4\. Either request changes to your proof or approve and check out.

And that's it! With production in a few days and free, fast shipping, it won't be long before you're caressing your own acrylic sign and whispering, "My own… my precious!"

##Types of acrylic signs

Acrylic signs are naturally versatile and lend themselves to a variety of business uses. Typical acrylic signs include:

-   __Acrylic sign boards__: Coming in a variety of sizes, with both single or double-sided printing, acrylic sign boards are easily customizable with logos and graphics, and are a great means of providing information or creating business signage.
-   __Acrylic business signs__: These are designed for commercial establishments, and are most often storefront, window, or directional wall signs. They can display your business name, logo, and other info, and are sometimes paired with LED lights for greater visibility.
-   __Acrylic wedding signs__: Welcome signs, seating charts, and directions. Acrylic wedding signs bring elegance and clarity to your decor and can be easily personalized with names and wedding details.
-   __Acrylic wall signs__: Mount them indoors or outdoors, suspended with standoffs or fixed with hardware. A mix of durable and weather-resistant material with a sleek look and feel, acrylic wall signs can be a simple way to make your work environment look at once more sophisticated and put-together.

This is perhaps why [custom t-shirts](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-t-shirts "custom t-shirts") have become so popular over the past few years — they're a way to showcase your creativity, have fun with new designs, and easily dress in a unique way.

![woman wearing gray custom t-shirt from sticker mule](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/b62d9766-23d8-4e3c-8df9-bda597865bf2)

It's perhaps no surprise, in fact, that the global market for custom-made clothes has been on a meteoric rise — worth $51.8 billion in 2021, it's [projected to reach no less than $131.6 billion by 2030](https://www.businessresearchinsights.com/market-reports/custom-made-clothes-market-101188 "custom t-shirt and clothing market trends"). It's no secret: people want to dress custom.

##Designing your custom t-shirts

There are plenty of ways to design your own t-shirts, but few, if any, are better than Studio.

###What is Studio? 

Essentially, it's a canvas for your creativity — a browser-based, user-friendly platform for devising your own designs and creating your own custom-made products.

Unlike other, more complicated apps, [Studio](https://www.stickermule.com/studio "free online design tool with free templates") removes all the hurdles from your creative process, at the same time providing an ample library of templates as a starting point for your creative endeavors. 

##How to use Studio

To work with [Studio](https://www.stickermule.com/studio "free online design tool"), all you need is a browser and an internet connection. In fact, you can even create from your smartphone. Let's take a look at how that process works.

###1. Choose a template

![custom t-shirts free templates](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/66e723bc-d2e4-48d0-b857-735f0ffe24f6)

Studio comes with a [vast library of free t-shirt templates](https://www.stickermule.com/studio/templates/t-shirts "free custom t-shirts templates"). Whether you are designing a t-shirt for a sports team, for your company, or just for good old fun, you'll likely find a Studio template that's just the right starting point for your needs.

And don't worry about spending time thumbing through templates either; just select the category you have in mind and browse the top templates for that particular subject.

###2. Edit your template

![editing a custom shirt template online free](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/bc722438-7cb7-4047-87cc-3294b37c1d74)

Even if your template is nothing more than a blank canvas, editing is as easy as adding new text or drawing elements, dragging them into place, adding color… it's all done in a few clicks (or taps, if you're on your phone). 
While you're at it, keep in mind a few key points to ensure your design looks well put together and appealing, including:

- The right combination of colors. It's not about how many colors you work into your design, but the extent to which they match. You can do some research on how different colors complement each other, for starters, and play with several combinations as you go.

- Text is often the first thing that gets noticed in a design, so use fonts that match the vibe you're going for. We [wrote a bit on the subject of fonts](https://www.stickermule.com/blog/what-is-the-easiest-font-to-read-on-posters-and-flyers "best fonts to use for t-shirts and poster printing") before, but it is a topic worth exploring in depth, as it can make or break your visual style.

- Placement. How harmonious the different elements in your overall design look — that's also key to your success. You can find out a little more about the rules of design composition and layout [here](https://99designs.com/blog/tips/design-composition-and-layout/ "tips on design composition").

###3. Print it out

Once you're happy with your design, you can download it or send it straight to print with Sticker Mule. All you have to do is choose your t-shirt size, quantity, and order. Before your t-shirt is produced, you'll get a free sample proof showing you what it'll look like with your design — if need be, you can request further changes before giving the green light for the printing process. 

Once you complete your order, your t-shirts will be coming to you in just a few days!

##Printing your custom t-shirt

Did you know you can print your own custom t-shirt at home and at little cost to yourself? That's one of the options we'll explore below.

###DIY printing

If you're a fan of doing things yourself, why not try DIY t-shirt printing? It's easy, doesn't take long, and yields fairly good results for more casual use cases. 

Take a look at [this tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1QSgRSzoFY "create your own t-shirt at home tutorial") and you'll see you don't even have to invest in complicated equipment to print your own t-shirts (although you can get professional results if you're willing to fork out around $1300 as an initial investment for a shirt-printing machine!)

To print your own custom design onto a t-shirt at home, all you need are a regular printer, an iron and ironing board, a blank t-shirt, and some transfer paper.

The steps are simple, too:

1. Print your design onto a sheet of transfer paper
2. Lay out your t-shirt onto the ironing board and place the transfer area over the area you want your design to be printed on
3. Carefully iron over the design a few times, making sure you smooth out the whole of the design.
4. Remove the backing on your transfer paper and glory in your newly-printed t-shirt!

That's the gist of it, anyway.
 
##Going the professional route

![custom t-shirts of cats and pets](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/9edbff82-a284-4b5a-a805-c8704fbe4859)

DIY printing is a fun way to personalize your tees at a low cost, but it may not be for everyone. For starters, the quality of the design will inevitably turn out to be inferior to the design on a professionally printed t-shirt — the shapes will be less crisp and nitid, and the design is likely to wear off faster. 

On top of that, it's a time-consuming process. If you want your design stamped on a large number of t-shirts, you'll find yourself spending hours ironing stuff back and forth. Maybe not the best investment for your time.

###Online printing services

With that in mind, there's a simpler alternative: [get your custom t-shirts printed out for you](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-t-shirts "custom t-shirts printing") by a professional printing service like yours truly, Sticker Mule.

It'll save you headaches and the potential disappointment of making a mess of your design — and ruining a t-shirt. And that inevitably happens on a long enough timeline of printing your own stuff.

In fact, if you intend to print your design on a large number of t-shirts, you may find ordering your tees from an online service can be a lot more cost-effective. Just check out the mouth-watering bulk discounts we offer on [custom t-shirts](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-t-shirts "custom shirts printing") — order enough and you can find yourself paying less than $10 for professionally printed, high-quality, 100% cotton t-shirts.

Order now and enjoy holding your crisp, nice new tees a few days from now!

##Conclusion

As you can see, designing your very own t-shirt with Studio is a no-brainer. All it takes is a browser, an internet connection, and a little bit of inspiration — and remember our 2000+ templates are all there to help you with that!
Plus, once you have your design ready, sporting it in quality-printed t-shirts is only a matter of a few clicks and a few days' wait. Your Sticker Mule-made t-shirts will stick around for years.

How to build an email list with sticker giveaways and more

Email lists are a fundamental marketing tool in today's digital landscape. They're a valuable way of engaging with customers, building relationships, and driving sales. 

In today's post, we'll take a look at the impact email lists can have on your business and how you can work to deliver personalized and targeted messages right into your client's inboxes.

## Understanding your audience

The cornerstone of good email marketing is to understand your target audience. You need to know what your buyers like — what makes them, quite literally, click. 

To build a loyal customer base, you first need to gain a good understanding of their interests and preferences. There are more than a few ways of that, including:

- Market research: Market research gives you insights into your industry, competitors, and potential untapped customer bases. Your research can be geared towards demographics (age, gender, location, etc.), as well as psychographics — interests, values, behaviors, and the like.

- Existing data: Internet analytics tools are a great way to gather data from your website, from social media platforms, or from other marketing channels, with an eye to understanding your audience's preferences, browsing habits, and engagement patterns.

- Surveys/feedback: With surveys and feedback forms, you can get your customers to tell you themselves what works for them or doesn't. What could be better than hearing it straight from the horse's mouth?

- Social listening: Go on social media, online forums, and review sites. Check out relevant YouTube video comments or, yes, even Reddit subs. There's a wealth of information just lying around the web if you know what to monitor and where to look for it.

- Competitor analysis: While they say you should never blindly imitate your competitors, it pays to keep an eye on what they're doing — their audiences, their marketing strategies. What is their messaging like, and how do they engage with their customers? These and similar questions can provide useful insights into your own target audiences.

## The importance of email marketing

Email marketing is particularly relevant for small businesses and startups, as it's both effective and cost-efficient. But, if you're doing it right, it will never cease to bring you value no matter how big your company gets.

There's plenty to say about the value of email here. But if we were to list just a few key ways it helps you, we could say it:

1. Helps you connect directly with your audience. With email, you can reach people directly, as well as tailor your messages according to customers' preferences and purchase history. 

2. Allows you to build relationships. If you consistently deliver real value — whether that's timely updates, offers, or interesting content, — you'll find it easy to establish trust and loyalty, which in turn will increase your customer retention.

3. Is cost-effective. When you compare it with other marketing channels and ad campaigns, email marketing is extremely cost-effective. With a minimum initial investment, it nonetheless offers a very palpable ROI. In fact, a recent Litmus report points to an average return of 36:1. That is, for every $1 spent on email marketing, you'll make $36. Not too shabby, eh?

4. Increases conversion rates. Emails have a proven conversion track record of around 3%. While this may not seem impressive at first glance, get a hefty email list, do the math, and you'll see it adds up to a neat plus on your marketing game. In fact, [surveys have shown](https://www.salecycle.com/blog/stats/18-essential-email-marketing-statistics/) shown that as many as 59% of buyers are influenced by email in their purchase decisions.

## Strategies to create an email list from scratch

So you're bought into the whole email list thing, but don't know where to start? Well, perhaps we can offer a few handy ideas.

### 1. Sticker giveaways

![free sticker giveaway tips](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/82487dc9-bda2-4429-aff0-183b73f7911e)

Yes, we continue to think [stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/custom-stickers "stickers custom") are awesome, but that's only because we've seen how well they work up close. And using them for capturing your customers' emails is a no-brainer, really:

- Design a few stickers. Not just any stickers, mind you: we're talking stickers that your target audience will find irresistible! Give it some thought, get creative, and — of course — make sure they relate to your brand or niche.

- Create a giveaway (duh). Then promote it on your social media, on your website, or heck, even on your [product shipments](https://www.stickermule.com/blog/how-to-create-package-inserts-that-work).

- The catch! Ask participants to sign up for your email list in order to enter the giveaway — or make it optional. Because remember: nobody likes to be tricked into these things. If you decide to make subscribing mandatory, at least make sure to tell them loud and clear that unsubscribing is a breeze and they can do it at any time.

- Honor your side of the deal and make sure your giveaway winners get their stickers.

<ButtonCta text="Create some stickers for giveaways today!" href="https://www.stickermule.com/custom-stickers" />

### 2. Interactive quizzes

Everyone loves a good quiz — whether about news, popular films, or fun facts. But for our purpose, you want to create quizzes that connect directly to the industry or niche you operate on. Just make sure they're fun and not too long. Then share them on your site, on social media, and in ads.

Once you've got your quizzes figured out, add a final step where you request participants to provide their email addresses to get the results or rank on the leaderboard. Again, do all you can to avoid the impression that you're coercing users into giving up their emails. Best not to get started on the wrong foot.

And remember, quizzes are something that people just love sending to friends and family. Make sure yours is super easy to share.

Also, if you're looking for a way to get started creating your own quizzes, you can try [Quiz and Survey Master](https://quizandsurveymaster.com) — a great Wordpress plugin that will take the hassle away from your quiz-creating endeavors.

### 3. Email list swap

An email list swap involves partnering with another business or marketer in a similar niche to exchange email subscribers. Here's how it works:

- Find a reputable partner with a complementary target audience and email list.

- Collaborate on a joint promotional campaign where both parties promote each other's email lists.

- Set clear expectations and guidelines for your list swapping, including the number of subscribers to be exchanged and the duration of the partnership.

An important caveat here: Make sure you didn't tell your clients you'd never share their email. If you did, well, then this step is just not for you.

### 4. Collaborations or partnerships

![using partnerships and collaborations to grow email lists ](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/e458ff28-c47d-4394-9af5-838c64ae93be)

Try collaborating with other businesses or influencers in your niche. This can be a brilliant way to tap into existing audiences and expand your email list.   

__Try things like:__

- Guest blogging: Feeling the creative mood? Write a guest post for a popular blog in your industry. And don't forget that sweet call to action to join your email list (offering goodies like promo codes or access to special discounts is a good way to seal the deal).

- Co-hosted webinars: If webinars are up your alley, you can partner with industry experts or complementary businesses to host events that will both provide value to your audiences and encourage sign-ups. Talk about a win-win.

- Social media cross-promotion: Talk to influencers or other businesses on social media. There are a myriad ways you can cooperate and generate value for everyone around, including joint giveaways or simple shoutouts that will drive traffic to your email lists.

Spend a few hours on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and other platforms to find influencers in your niche that can be great collaborators. 

### 5. Pop-up forms  

Nobody loves pop-ups per se — they're like someone holding you by the sleeve when you want to leave the damn place. But there's [evidence pop-up forms can work](https://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/email-marketing/why-signup-popup-forms-work/). Try and see for yourself.

There are plenty of ways to use them. Exit intent pop-ups can grab the email of a visitor that might otherwise never come back to your site; time-based pop-ups allow you to not scare off visitors that have just only made it to your website. And similarly, scroll-based pop-ups let you present your form to readers that have already shown an interest in your content and are thus more likely to sign up. 

As always, though, be sure to keep a few best practices in mind: 

- Offer value. This can be a discount, exclusive content, or a freebie in exchange for an email sign-up.

- Use a simple, friendly design for your pop-up. Don't be obnoxious.

- Don't overdo it. One pop-up, every once in a while, is tolerable. Several pop-ups, or having the same one pop again every time like a mosquito that won't die? That's a surefire way to alienate users.

### 6. Landing pages

An optimized landing page can be a boon to your email list conversions. But you need to do it right. So it's more of the same:

- Keep the design simple, clean, and focused on your call to action.

- Clearly communicate the value proposition of joining your email list. Again, that could be early access to new products, special promo codes, promotions, and so on.

- Use persuasive, straight-to-the-point copy and visuals to encourage signing up.

- A/B test different elements — headlines, CTA buttons, and form placements — to optimize your conversions.

[Carrd](https://carrd.co/) is a user-friendly and free platform for quickly creating landing pages.

### 7.  Lead magnets 

Believe it or not, this time we're not talking about our very own [custom magnets](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-magnets). No, lead magnets are simply the "carrots" you offer in exchange for email addresses. That is something that actually is attractive or valuable to your target audience.

Examples of effective lead magnets include:

- E-books or guides related to your industry or niche. For instance, a fitness or health product website might offer users a free weight loss program or a recipe book for healthy snacks.

- Downloadable templates or checklists for a specific need your users are likely to have. An example would be a financial guru that offers a budgeting or expense-tracking checklist.

- Exclusive content. This could be anything from video classes to exclusive industry reports, case studies, and so on.

Also, remember: Lead magnets can be more than just a way to entice visitors to subscribe. They can provide value in their own right and be shared by your users, thus pushing your marketing strategy a further notch up.

## Final thoughts

![building an email list from scratch successfully](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/43f4d06c-d21a-47f1-aa60-1fcc38df1dd0)

It's never too early to start building your email list, and there's no wrong way to get started doing it. Whether you love the sticker giveaway idea or just want to annoy your customers with a well-timed pop-up, you have plenty of options to choose from above — and many others waiting for you out there.

So pick the strategies that work best for you and make them a focus of your marketing efforts. You'll be reaping the rewards for a long time to come.

Ultimate guide to aesthetic stickers: cute designs, trends, and tips

Home decor, DIY, crafts. Lately, these three uber-popular topics have converged somewhat over the humble sticker with a new trend: aesthetic stickers.

![cute and funny aesthetic stickers](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/2591d3d6-1699-4943-af68-c3f7c5f6a833)

What are aesthetic stickers? In a few words, they're stickers that help shape a certain personal style or vibe. They can be anything to express your current mood or vibe. The use of the word "aesthetic" here puts us right away in the mind of decoration, of shaping a specific ambiance. So that's what people are going for with their aesthetic stickers: imprinting their personality on their surroundings.

### Understanding aesthetic stickers

Aesthetic stickers are all about helping shape a certain tone or vibe — or, if you will, a certain aesthetic. Rather than isolated individual stickers, aesthetic stickers usually come in sets and follow a predetermined theme. 

You can have a set of fruit or emoji stickers, vacation-themed stickers, or even build a line of stickers for your favorite fandom or TV show. The main point is that the stickers must work between themselves to really create that feeling you're going for, whether it's excitement, tranquility, or fun.

With a kit of aesthetic stickers, you can really transform your belongings (think office or school materials) — or your environment. That's why people love them so much. A few stickers in a bedroom or home office, paired with some minor rearranging (and maybe some tidying up too), and suddenly your place looks refreshingly new. 

And that, for a very low effort and little time investment, can be an incredibly satisfying thing.

### Different types of aesthetic stickers and the latest trends

If you're making your own custom aesthetic stickers, there really is no end to the possibilities at your disposal. Popular styles, of course, often reflect existing trends in decor and fashion, such as:

- **Vintage aesthetic stickers:** Nothing is better for a vintage feel than a few choice items of daily use — daily use in another century, mind you. Oil lamps, old umbrellas and magnifying glasses, bicycles, old dial phones, top hats… the list goes on. 
- **Minimalistic:** Simple fonts, few-line drawings, plenty of white space. These stickers can go a long way toward showing off your minimalist preferences on your laptop or car bumper. Just remember not to overuse them — that goes against the spirit of the whole thing.
- **Nature aesthetic:** Leaves, trees, cacti, rocks, birds… If you're a nature lover and your living room looks like it might soon be taken over by the jungle, try a combination of these and other nature-themed stickers on your belongings to seal the vibe.
- **Bibliophile aesthetic:** Love books? Sure you do. Love flaunting your love for books? We suspect so. So order a selection of custom book- and stationery-themed stickers to liven up your desk, phone, or backpack. Just don't stick them on your books — those are sacred you know.

These are just a few examples. Can you imagine what you could do with your favorite aesthetic?

### Tips on using aesthetic stickers

Unlike rocket science, sticker science is pretty obvious. There are just a few things you can keep in mind when decorating with aesthetic stickers:

- **Give some thought to placement.** Do you want your stickers to stand out and attract attention or just provide a more subdued background? There's a range of options according to your answer: you can try laptop, phone, or water bottle stickers to simply decorate everyday objects, or larger wall stickers to really capture the eye.
- **Try a combination of styles.** Sometimes mixing individual aesthetic stickers from different styles or sets can work great. Just take your time and lay out a few combinations on your table before you actually stick them in place.
- **Help your stickers last.** Make sure you apply your stickers to a clean surface and smoothen out any imperfections or air bubbles right away. This will help them stick around longer. Give extra some love to static clings, as these are typically less durable than our more common vinyl custom stickers.

### Where to buy aesthetic stickers

It's not hard to find pre-made aesthetic sticker packages out there on websites like [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/aesthetic-stickers/s?k=aesthetic+stickers "amazon buy aesthetic stickers"), eBay, or [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/market/aesthetic_stickers "buy aesthetic stickers on etsy"). But if you find it boring to buy combinations that maybe hundreds of others have already on display, there's always the option to [print your own stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/ "print custom stickers").

After all, that's what we're all about here!

At Sticker Mule, you can order your own custom stickers in any shape, size, or style. You can also use our own free tools, like Studio, to design the stickers yourself and order them with a click. Before we print, we always send you a proof showing what your stickers will look like, and you can request changes until you're 100% happy with the result. It's fast and easy.

### Conclusion
