8 Gelato Features Doing the Work While You Sleep (Most Sellers Skip All of Them)
About this video
RJ, who says he has done print on demand for eight-plus years and sold hundreds of thousands of products, walks through eight Gelato features he says most sellers skip, in a video he discloses is in partnership with Gelato. 1) Magic Mockups: generate scene/lifestyle mockups from preset styles or a custom prompt, save and reuse them, with 10 free uses shown. 2) Personalization Studio: add a personalized text or image layer (he demos a bulldog name on a black shirt) so Shopify and Etsy customers can personalize before adding to cart. 3) Foil on greeting cards: gold, silver or copper foil, applicable to coated silk paper. 4) Inner neck printing: add a logo, sizing or brand details inside the neck for a premium look. 5) Branded labels and packaging inserts, e.g. an insert offering 30% off a next purchase for a review and social follows. 6) Bulk CSV actions: connect/map products, create multiple products from templates, and bulk-edit designs and mockups. 7) Order-approval workflows: automatic, delayed (24/48/72 hours) or manual approval, including holding personalized or tagged orders for review. 8) Automatic processing of print files from Shopify customization apps and auto-fulfillment from remote file storage, which he says is scanned hourly for matching files. He says features 1-4, 6 and 7 are on the free plan and 5 and 8 are Gelato Plus.
Key takeaways
- Use Magic Mockups to generate custom lifestyle/scene mockups from presets or your own prompt instead of using only default mockups.
- Use Personalization Studio to let customers add their own text or image, a fit he highlights for occasions like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.
- Add premium touches with gold/silver/copper foil on coated-silk greeting cards and inner neck printing with your logo or sizing.
- Use branded labels and packaging inserts — for example a next-purchase discount for a review — to make customers remember and return to the brand.
- Save time with bulk CSV/product actions and set order approval to automatic, delayed, or manual — especially holding personalized orders to catch customer spelling mistakes before production.
