Earn More Every Month Passively by Creating These Wildly Popular Products That Take as Little as 10 Minutes


Making retractable banner templates for business or personal use takes just minutes and can be a reliable source of passive income that pays you repeatedly

When was the last time you attended a trade show, wedding, religious service, restaurant or sporting event? These are just a few of the thousands of places you’ll find retractable banners in use.


That’s because of the extreme attention they attract. Due to the almost lifelike size, roll-up banners stop traffic and earn a double take. Whether for a:

  • Company promoting its brand
  • Family welcoming guests to a wedding or birthday party
  • Church promoting Vacation Bible School, music performance, services times, etc.
  • Restaurant announcing weekly specials
  • Sports promoter directing attendees
  • Bookstore announcing author book signings
  • Business stopping foot traffic at tradeshows
  • Or thousands of other uses

… event banners are the go-to way to make sure you get noticed.


But why would someone buy a pop-up banner template from you instead of from a banner website?

  • Frankly, the designs found on Etsy and other sites are better than on banner sites
  • Customers can communicate with you (the designer) if they have questions
  • Customers can reuse the event banner template they buy from you... re-edit it to create as many banners as they want
  • Many banner printing websites offer free stands and cases so your customer won’t have to pay for those in addition to the template

There are an awful lot of people (and companies) looking for professionally designed banner templates that are fun, team-oriented, beautiful, etc. to help them express themselves.


And this explains why the retractable banner craze on Etsy and other marketplace sites is evergreen and rapidly growing!

How about those prices? Many of the listings show sale prices, but the amounts still typically exceed most other digital downloads.

How Much Can You Make?

Depending on your shop, your SEO, and the product lines you create to sell, etc., you could potentially make hundreds per month, per design. The average price for the examples above is $19.42. We’ll use that as our base.

  • If you sell just one retractable banner template per day for $19.42 you’ll make $582.60/month.
  • If you sell two per day, you’d make $1,165.20/month.
  • Three per day… $1,747.80/month.

The more types of designs you add to your Etsy shop and the more sales per day you make, the more you can potentially earn.

Frequently Asked Questions


Q:  Do I have to have an existing Etsy shop?


A:  You can start your Etsy shop today and then list your new banner designs. No existing shop is needed. Keep in mind that brand new shops will have to build traffic and sales, so you’ll need to work on that before you’ll likely see sales.


You can also sell these in other places. Your own website is a great place and also other marketplaces that accept digital products.


Q:  Do you go through how to set up an Etsy shop?

Q: Does creating professional retractable banners require a lot of design work?


Not at all. I’ll walk you through all the steps with as few clicks as possible. Watch and see what to do and what not to do so your finished product is legal to sell on Etsy (or wherever you want).
