You don't really. iPhones are not designed to be continuously logged out of and into different Apple IDs.


While you can log out of the account you use for iTunes & App stores in Settings ➜ Apple ID ➜ Media & Purchases and log in with a different one, doing this can cause one ID to be locked out for a period of 90 days.

click here ➜ View and remove your devices that are associated with Apple ID purchases - Apple Support


You won't loose any data by signing out of your Apple ID though, as it will not delete anything from the iPhone.
