Print2Be makes custom heat-transfer prints that customers apply to shirts, cushions, or other fabric. The founders initially imagined a hobbyist audience, then found buyers among clubs, bachelor parties, athletes, and small businesses that need a logo in very low quantities. They say production can start with one A4 order. Katrin handles support and appears in instructional videos; Dirk leads the technical and production work. Before working with an ecommerce growth consultancy, their store attracted visitors but converted poorly, and monthly revenue was €400. They report €15,000 in sales over the most recent 30 days and a pace around €700 per day, while aiming to reach and stabilize €30,000 per month. Their first successful campaign was tied to carnival and ended with the season. After roughly six weeks of searching, a second campaign became the ongoing winner. They also redesigned the shop, including making the main shopping button match the brand color, and say conversion moved above a 2% benchmark. They manufacture in-house and have automated production processes.
