Unlocking the Power of Digital Product Success This Holiday
Why create digital products? It’s a valid question many creators have.
Let this sink in: JPMorgan recently conducted a study revealing that over $54 billion is annually spent on digital goods, and that number is expected to increase to $74 billion by 2025!
Yeah, that’s a huge number, but money is not the only reason to create digital products. Digital designs are cheap to make, you have more flexibility on the profit margin, and there is no upfront cost! Win!

Tips on getting your digital products ready:
Use free tools like Canva to help you design.
Canva is a great tool to help you create your digital designs. They offer amazing assistance with images, videos, audio files, other media, text, illustrations, background features and editing techniques, to make a “new” creative work. Truly an invaluable resource.
Simple is best.
Pick designs that are easy to create and not too intricate. Why? It’ll be quicker to create multiple designs. The more designs you offer—the more ways you have to make a sale! And that’s always good!
Offer Freebies.
Weigh the pros and cons of giving out promos. In the long run, it’s really worth it because of the dividends you receive from future sales. One method is to offer digital products as freebies or as part of a promotion for your other products. Another go-to tactic, and one of the more popular methods, is offering a bundle.
Cut off dates? Nope.
Keep selling after shipping cut off dates, right up to the holiday. A good portion of your sales will come from last minute shoppers.
