Amazon and Etsy custom aprons make stylish and practical gifts for any occasion. It could be a birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, or just because. Whatever the occasion, recipients are sure to love CustomHappy’s aprons. If you’re part of LHS, consider adding aprons to your Amazon and Etsy shops.
In this post, you’ll find tips and insights to drive more traffic to your custom apron listings and increase sales. The strategies include…
1. Make simple designs for your Amazon and Etsy custom aprons
Here’s some advice for creating cute, high-quality custom aprons to sell on Amazon and Etsy:
Create simple, text-based apron design ideas.

Let customers personalize your apron designs.
Shoppers love being able to personalize their products. So give shoppers the option to personalize your aprons. Allow them to add things like their name or initials, or a special date, image, or message. Creating personalized aprons for bakers, cooks, or grillers makes the aprons more unique and meaningful. Plus, it encourages customers to choose your products over competitors.
2. Optimize your product listings for Amazon and Etsy aprons
Here are some tips for optimizing your listings for cute baking aprons. That way, you drive as much traffic and earn as many sales as you can.
Write clear, keyword-rich titles for your apron listings.
Create descriptive titles for your apron listings that include relevant keywords for better visibility. Avoid overloading your titles with too many keywords, however. This practice is known as keyword stuffing, and it can deter both customers and the platform.
Use precise terms like “loop neck” and “two front pockets” to accurately describe your aprons. Ensure your titles are clear and easy to read. That way, potential buyers quickly understand what they’re buying.
To discover the most relevant keywords, consider using the tools listed below:
Here are some popular keywords related to aprons found on Amazon and Etsy:
Write detailed descriptions for your aprons.
Include your aprons’ most important details and features in your listings’ descriptions. This includes details like…
- 95% polyester, 5% cotton
- White
- 2 Front pockets
- Loop neck
- Two string waist ties
- One-size-fits-all
Here are the specifics from CustomHappy:
Include high-quality lifestyle images in your apron listings.
Besides your main product photo, include lifestyle images that show your aprons in action. Display your aprons in different settings or being used by people. For instance, you could feature someone wearing the apron while cooking in the kitchen or grilling outside.
Lifestyle images give shoppers a better sense of your aprons’ fit and functionality. They help shoppers visualize owning your aprons, making them more likely to buy. You can use my free apron mockups which I link to below.
3. Provide efficient and professional customer service
In ecommerce, outstanding customer service is essential. Sellers must not only meet but also exceed customer expectations by providing attentive and supportive assistance. This commitment fosters stronger customer loyalty and retention.
Exceptional customer service relies on being attentive, responsive, and empathetic. You should respond to questions and concerns promptly and courteously, ideally within twenty-four hours.
Satisfied customers are vital to any business. They are more likely to return and share positive experiences, becoming a powerful and cost-free marketing tool.
To streamline your customer service, consider using pre-written scripts for common inquiries. You can access a collection of customer service scripts I created by clicking the links below:

4. Offer discounts and promotions for your Amazon and Etsy custom aprons
To attract new customers and boost sales, consider offering periodic discounts and promotions. Special deals can make your products more appealing than those of your competitors.
Schedule discounts around major holidays, lesser-known holidays, and special sales events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Additionally, create customer loyalty programs that reward repeat purchases, referrals, and social media engagement.
Discounts and promotions not only draw in buyers but also help clear out excess inventory. For step-by-step instructions on setting up discounts and coupon codes on Amazon and Etsy, click here.
5. Promote your custom aprons through social media and email marketing
Here’s how you can promote your custom aprons to increase your Amazon and Etsy sales.
Social media marketing
To showcase your custom POD aprons, use popular social media platforms like the following:
- TikTok
- YouTube
Email marketing
An email list isn’t necessary for success with LHS. However, it is a great asset if you have one or plan to start one. By curating a list of customers interested in your print-on-demand aprons, you create a powerful marketing tool. Regular newsletters, whether weekly or monthly, can showcase your newest designs, special promotions, and exclusive discounts.
Additionally, sharing behind-the-scenes videos, telling your brand’s story, and conducting feedback surveys can deepen relationships with your audience and boost engagement.

I loved all of this information. And I noticed that most of the aprons that Rachel looked at in the video were black or of some color. Is there a way Custom Happy could also offer Aprons other than white so we can use some of these great ideas to a better advantage. I’m not sure I would want to start grilling or cooking up a storm, gardening or doing art projects with a pristine white apron. Meanwhile, will work around it and offer the white.
Hey Kathleen, Thanks for getting in touch! Please email your question/suggestion to rachelreports@gmail.com and they will be happy to assist you! :)
