📱 Best Platforms
Etsy for handmade reach. Shopify with Printful for POD. Amazon for FBA scale.
📖 The Hustle
Create coordinated phone case and Apple Watch band sets sold as matching pairs. Apple users are brand-loyal, style-conscious, and willing to spend on accessories that complement their devices. Design seasonally-themed sets: spring pastels, summer brights, fall earth tones, winter metallics. Source blank watch bands from wholesale suppliers ($3-8 each) and create matching phone cases through Printful. Sell sets at $40-55, with combined costs around $18-25. The bundle approach naturally increases average order value compared to selling cases alone. List on both Etsy and your own Shopify store. Create Instagram content showing how the matching set elevates a wrist-and-phone 'flat lay' photo — this is highly shareable and aesthetic. Partner with fashion and tech influencers who can showcase your sets in outfit-of-the-day posts. Expand into matching AirPods cases for a complete coordinated tech accessory suite.
