THE BEGINNING OF THE END (OF INVENTORY)

So you want to sell posters of your comic strip? Maybe you've long wished you could sell a 12 month calendar for your video podcast? Maybe you're an incredibly gifted illustrator with a giant fanbase. Whatever you are, now imagine you could sell virtually offset-quality printed goods (posters, cards, comics, calendars and more) directly to your fans from your website. No more inventory. No paying monthly storage for pallets filled with paper products that aren't moving.

GO GET YOUR BIZ PERSON

You're sold. You know you need Amplifier like now! But a wrinkle remains. You've got a "biz person" who signs off on the big decisions. So call them, right now. Don't tell them about how cool Amplifier sounds, they don't care about cool. Just tell them that they've got a service that lets you sell new products without adding anything to the balance sheet. If that doesn't sell them on Amplifier, then it's time to get a new Biz Person.

COUP DE GRÂCE

But wait, you ask... So what if someone orders a P.O.D. item AND, say, one of your popular coffee mugs? Or a hoodie, 2 P.O.D. calendars and a DVD? That means that Amplifier will have to ship two separate orders, right? I mean, how long does it take to make a P.O.D. item anyway? So here's the deal. Not only does Amplifier typically get Print-on-Demand items produced in less than 3 business days, we reintegrate print-on-demand goods into the original order before shipping them. That means one shipping charge for your customers. If you can't admit that rocks, you've lost touch with what rocking means.
