Soon it will be that time of the year when green beer flows and when people buy a plethora of Irish themed T-shirts. In the general spirit of this holiday we’re announcing the St. Patrick’s Day Design Contest.
We’d like you to create a St. Patrick Day design, submit it to the Spreadshirt Marketplace and tag it with STPATTYCONTEST. We will then select 3 winners and award the following prizes:
- One of three 1st positions in the Bestseller category in the Spreadshirt Designer between February 25th and March 17th (One of our most trafficked areas on the site)
- One of three 1st positions in the Holidays & Occasions/St. Patrick’s Day category in the Spreadshirt Designer February 25th and March 17th
- Winner’s design featured in a Spreadshirt St. Patrick’s Day Newsletter sent to Spreadshirt’s house list (Date TBD)
- Design will be featured in the main teaser on Spreadshirt.com homepage
- One coupon for a free product ($35 value + free standard domestic shipping)
Basic Rules
- Contest officially starts on February 5th and ends on Feb 19th, 2010. Spreadshirt will announce the winners on February 19th, 2010.
- Your design must be submitted to the Spreadshirt Marketplace and tagged with STPATTYCONTEST during the above period.
- Designs should be closely or loosely related to the themes surrounding the idea of the St. Patrick’s Day. Be creative. A generic green clover will definitely not win you the prize.
- The winners will be picked by Spreadshirt staff based on following criteria:
- Creativity and Originality (New and previously unsubmitted designs have preference)
- Versatility (Invites customization - provokes thought for adding text or multiple designs)
- Market Appeal (Immediately attracts attention from the viewer)
- Applicability to Apparel (Design can be used on a wide variety of apparel items)
- Production ( Vector designs are preferred )
Have fun and let the best design win.
We have emerged from our Test Lab with great results! Four new products are now available for our Digital Direct printing method:
Find all available products for Digital Direct in this helpful FAQ.
If you operate a Spreadshirt shop, then the existing products in your accounts were also updated from the Digital Transfer or Digital Transfer Overlay process to the Digital Direct process.
Some points to keep in mind for the update…
- You will want to check the pricing and your commission on these products, because Digital Direct is priced differently than Digital Transfer methods. Read more here.
- Digital Direct uses 200 dpi, so your current uploaded digital images may appear smaller when using Digital Direct, as Digital Transfer only requires a dpi of 120. This will be apparent in Designer Shops and depends on the dpi of the original uploaded image.
We are going back to the Test Lab to test more additions and once new products are available for Digital Direct, we will let you know!
When you think of hearts and roses and the colors of pink and red, what typically comes to mind? If you’re thinking, Valentine’s Day you are right, but these familiar themes can also be found in everyday fashions throughout the year.
The heart has been a common symbol for Valentine’s Day since the holiday began, but this common symbol of love has also made its mark into our everyday fashion options. With heart prints seen on graphic tees, lingerie, scarves, accents on jewelry and even customizable cooking aprons.
Heart shapes have also made their impression as detailed back pockets on jeans, whimsical sunglasses, casual sandals and even Coach purses. While the rose as been a common print on textiles for centuries it recently has made a re-emergence as seen on blouses as ruffled detailing, ascents on wristlets by Betsey Johnson and on graphic tees by Wildfox that have a huge celebrity following. Have a look below at some additional Valentine inspired fashions and accessories!

This means that our entire platform will be down during this time. The update should take between 30-45 minutes to complete. We will also run a second update between 3 and 5 a.m. EST on the US platform only, also taking about 30 minutes to complete. We’ll be back online by the time (most of you) wake up.
P.S. Failwhale sightings usually occur at Twitter. This illustration is from one of our shop partners, Yiying Lu. And just in case you are looking for the right gift for Valentine’s Day - it also looks great on a T-Shirt.

Customer satisfaction is one of our highest priorities. Clearly stated in our mission, “We want to WOW our customers with exceptional quality and speed.” A vital part of achieving this goal is the ability to measure how well we do this. That’s where the Net Promoter Score (NPS) comes into play and we’ve been using it since 2007.
What is the Net Promoter Score?
NPS is a simple way to measure how satisfied your customers are. It asks one question: “How likely is it that you would recommend our company to a friend or colleague?” Then the customers choose between 0 (very unlikely) and 10 (extremely likely). The responses are then split into three groups: promoters (9 or 10), passives (7 or 8) and detractors (0 to 6). NPS is then calculated by taking the percentage of promoters and subtracting the percentage of detractors. The score can range from 100% to -100%.
How likely is it that you would recommend Spreadshirt to a friend or colleague?

Act Fast- Quantities are Limited!
Ever go through your drawers and realize you have way too many t-shirts, but you can’t bear the thought of donating them? Whether it’s because you either love the print/design on it or it serves as a memento of some great memory or experience of your past ( like running that 5K and kicking butt!)? Well if you’re a bit crafty you can now put that treasured tee into a creative good use. Martha Stewart lists one of her “Good Things” as the easy to make T-Shirt Bag. To construct, it only requires a T-shirt, some pins, a bowl, scissors, a pen and the use of a sewing machine. This bag not only showcases your favorite tee but it also serves as a more important recyclable shopping bag. Another great use for your old t-shirts is a scarf, check out the do-it yourself memory scarf from the Craft Blog.
A few months back, Dave a fellow Spreadshirt blogger posted a few of his favorite ways to reuse and rethink your t-shirts by creating your own t-shirt wall art, a blanket, and even a shirtain!

Designer's comment: "The idea for this design came to me when my computer hang just a few days before the deadline of the 15K and while creating this design. What now? I called Supageek (alias my brother), who fixed everything within seconds. Thisfor "The Incredible Supageek" is a homage to the superhero who bailed me out quite a few times already."
