Time for the latest update from “project relocation” specialist Antje.

03 Old stuff - new stuff
One reason why we chose to move into the old Kirow-factory was the old industrial charme that the building has. And it also had these fantastic walls, posts, graffiti and historic electro trash which looks like from a different century. During one of the first visits of the new location, Uwe, our VP Engineering, discovered an old elevator engine which we will hopefully be able to somehow integrate in the new office. Of course, Uwe wants to have it in the IT department

Here´s a little interview Loic Le Meur from Seesmic conducted with our CEO Jana Eggers. It´s about mass personalisation slash customisation.

Ok, here’s a quick update on 2 new features which just went live today.

Number 1:

You can now edit your products once you have created them in the shop admin area!
Number 2:

It is now possible to change the shipping address once you are in the checkout process (rather than going back and editing your profile)

We are please to finally be able to offer 2 of the more “obvious” shop partner requested features.

And here are a couple of screenshots:

The new “edit product” button now on the admin area:

Probably the most asked for thing next to “goal line technology” in football: more kids stuff in our assortment. Well, here we go: today we added the Continental Kids-Shirt made from 100% organic cotton. Comes in baby blue, white, red and black. (Plus: with a grammage of 200g, it keeps looking good despite of daily washes.)

But it´s not only the kids who can be happy - we also got some news for the grown-ups:

Part 2 of the Spreadshirt move series coming up. Once again, a big thanks to Antje for providing all the interesting info. If you are a fan of the TV series Grand Designs (like me!) then be sure to check out the images in the full post. Once again i will now pass you over to Antje…

02 What is currently happening on the construction site?
Yesterday I had a look at our new premises at Naumburger Straße again. It didn’t look too bad: a lot of construction workers, equipment and machinery, a lot of noise and quite some debris. That’s exactly the way it should be. The structural works are not completed yet. At the moment, they are working on the additional office space for the first floor. That is there are props and supporting stands everywhere in the hall.

Saturday was International Women´s Day. A good reason for talking to a female expert: our CEO Jana Eggers who has been the head of Spreadshirt since August 2007.

For this episode of Spreadshirt Stories, Juliane was kind enough to reveal the story behind her pink hoodie.

“I ordered the sweater to attract the man I have a crush on. For I will go see him wearing it. By the way, I could not wait to go shopping in downtown Bamberg, to flaunt my new sweater as soon as I got it. People sure were looking my way that day…”

For those of you that dont know, the Spreadshirt HQ is based in Leipzig, Germany (helps the following blog entry make sense). I will now pass you onto our move specialist, Antje, who will guide you through the basic safety procedures. If you are a frequent reader with us…. then great! (I hope you enjoy learning a bit more about us )

3 Reasons for moving…

Hey, I´m Antje, I´m new to the blog but generally old.
For all who don´t know already: Spreadshirt will once again move. Nope, not to Berlin where all those other companies move to, but within Leipzig. The special thing about the move: the actual production facility will be joined with the administration again. It used to be this way already some time ago, but due to our expansion we had to separate the two departments. Production moved to Taucha, the HQ to Plagwitz. Now, what belongs together will be together again.
