Customer's Success Story | Barods & Customily

Every big eCommerce success story starts with a simple idea and the drive to make it grow. For Barods, that idea was to turn everyday products into meaningful, personalized gifts that connect with people. What began as a small Amazon store quickly evolved into a thriving Shopify brand powered by Customily, bringing unique customization experiences to customers around the world.

From Amazon Seller to a Personalization Powerhouse: How Barods Scaled with Customily

Barods started as a small Amazon shop selling baby gift products. Today, it’s a thriving personalized gift brand on Shopify, offering everything from accessories and apparel to home and garden décor, all powered by Customily.

This is the story of how Barods transitioned from simple listings to building a sustainable, personalization-driven brand that stands out in the competitive print-on-demand market.

Finding the Opportunity in Personalization

Before launching on Shopify, the founder of Barods had already sensed the growing demand for personalized gifts.

“I actually began experimenting with personalization quite early, before I even knew about Customily,” they explained. “That was during the time when personalized gifts were booming, and I wanted to seize the opportunity to launch a new product line that would truly differentiate my shop.”

Initially, personalization was done manually through Amazon’s built-in tools, a slow and limited process. But as Barods’ catalog grew, it became clear that a more powerful and flexible personalization solution was needed.

Discovering Customily: A Complete Personalization Platform

Like many growing sellers, Barods wanted a solution that could offer customers a great personalization experience while simplifying internal operations.

“I discovered Customily through YouTube tutorials,” the founder said. “Before that, I relied on Amazon’s personalization tool, but it was very limited and lacked advanced customization features. Once I found Customily, I realized it was a much more powerful solution with long-term potential.”

What stood out most for Barods was Customily’s intuitive interface, advanced personalization options, and exceptional support team.

📌 “What impressed me most about Customily was its wide range of useful features and how easy it was to get started, even as a beginner. The support team has been amazing: always responsive, patient, and thorough. Their help saved me a lot of time and made the onboarding process smooth.”

Building a Brand on Shopify with Customily

With Customily integrated into their Shopify store, Barods was able to transform its catalog and brand identity.

“With Customily, I’ve been able to design a much wider variety of unique, professional products compared to before. Many tasks that used to be manual are now automated, which frees up my time to focus on developing new products and improving the customer experience.”

From text-based designs to photo uploads, Barods uses every personalization feature available, including Layouts, their favorite tool.

📌 “The layout feature is my favorite. Before it existed, I had to set conditions for each layer manually, which was time-consuming and prone to errors. With layouts, everything is much faster, more accurate, and far easier to manage.”

Their very first product using Customily? A simple garden flag with a name and photo, a small step that opened the door to endless personalization possibilities.

Expanding into Multiple Product Categories

Today, Barods offers an impressive range of personalized items across several categories:

• Accessories & Apparel – custom t-shirts, hats, and tote bags with personal messages and designs.
• Drinkware – photo mugs and tumblers perfect for gifts.
• Indoor Décor – wall art, pillows, and frames that bring families closer.
• Outdoor Décor – personalized garden flags, doormats, and signs that started it all.

By diversifying their catalog, Barods keeps up with seasonal trends and customer demand, ensuring their store stays relevant and fresh throughout the year.

Staying Ahead in a Competitive Market

As the personalized gift industry grows, Barods knows that innovation and efficiency are key to long-term success.

📌 “The biggest challenge will be the increasing competition in the personalized gift market. More sellers are entering, trends are evolving quickly, and customer expectations are rising. Still, by leveraging technology like Customily to deliver unique, personalized experiences - and staying agile with new trends - I believe my shop will maintain its competitive edge.”

With Customily, Barods has positioned itself for the future, offering scalable personalization that feels personal to every customer.
