For many designers, the idea of creating a Showit template shop has been on their mind for months — sometimes even years. It sits on your list, it sparks excitement, and yet… taking the first step can feel overwhelming. If that sounds familiar, this post is your warm reminder that truly, this is the perfect week to begin.

Whether you’re seeking more scalability, more freedom, or simply a business model that doesn’t rely 100% on client work, a template shop is one of the most meaningful additions you can make to your design business. And right now is an ideal time to start.

In today’s post, we’re sharing why — along with a look inside the process we use to help designers bring their shops to life simply and strategically.

Why We Once Felt Stuck About Starting a Template Shop

Years ago, during one of our busiest seasons ever, we remember feeling overwhelmed by the amount of client work we had. We were truly grateful for the projects on our plate, but we were stretched thin — balancing brand concepts, website drafts, client communication, and everything in between.

Still, we kept coming back to the idea of creating a template shop. We’d brainstorm ideas between meetings, pin inspiration, and tell ourselves, “We just need a few calm weeks, and then we’ll finally start.”

But those calm weeks never came. And with each month that passed, we realized we were postponing a revenue stream that could have expanded our bandwidth, improved our schedule, and brought more freedom and creativity into our business.

Eventually, we stopped waiting for time we didn’t have — and instead created the systems we needed. That’s when everything shifted. Building and selling templates didn’t take months. It took clarity, structure, and a roadmap.

And that’s what we want to offer you today: the clarity to begin.

Why This Week Is the Perfect Week to Start Your Template Shop

If you’re reading this in real time, we’re just weeks away from Black Friday — the biggest buying weekend of the year. You might think it’s too late to create a template shop, but the truth is: building a shop no longer requires months of work or a long ramp-up period.

Inside The Showit Shop System — our course created specifically for designers — you receive four fully designed, fully customizable Showit templates ready to add to your shop by Day 4.

Four days.

That means that by the end of this week, you can have new templates ready to upload and ready to begin selling — perfectly timed for Black Friday.

This alone makes it the perfect moment to begin, but the timing gets even better.

A Two-Week Roadmap Designed for Real Results

The entire Showit Shop System is a two-week roadmap. Not because it takes two weeks before you can begin earning — you can start selling your templates as soon as they’re ready by Day 4 — but because the remaining days walk you through everything that helps your shop succeed long-term. It isn’t just how to build a shop — it’s how to build a shop designed to thrive.

What Most Designers Really Need: A Clear System

From serving thousands of designers over the past 11+ years, we’ve seen the same challenge again and again: designers don’t get stuck because they lack creativity or skill… they get stuck because they lack a clear, step-by-step system.

A Showit template shop is both a creative project and a business model. Without a roadmap, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the decisions, the tech, and the marketing.

That’s why The Showit Shop System is designed to support both the creative and strategic sides of your shop:

• You begin with momentum — four templates ready to sell by Day 4.
• You continue with confidence — a guided roadmap through launch and long-term success.

This combination removes the guesswork and gives you the clarity needed to build something sustainable.
