We know its not easy as a new shop-partner. Those first few months are hard work as you refine your concept, work to create your products and start to promote your creations. Its great to see partners that appear almost from nowhere and start selling quickly, building up a loyal fan base. We thought we’d check in with one such partner the fast growing RetroFootballT-Shirts.co.uk and its head honcho, recent graduate James.

We discussed how he’s found the service so far and get some of his top tips:

In the meantime you can tell us what you think by taking the survey http://isk.spreadomat.net/relaunch/ 

This is an introduction to the new admin system. Some of the partners who tested the new beta asked us about the restructuring of the Shopadmin and why we structured a whole relaunch project around it.
