The Spreadshirt UK blog posted this video and called it really great.  I would describe this video as awesome.

 You remember those old flipbooks from when you were a kid? Hundreds of panels painstakingly created so that when flipped then you got literally seconds of enjoyment! Well, this is the t-shirt version (apparently it used 150 shirts) by Erberts&Gerberts a chain of sandwich shops, and its brilliant:

Here is the video of the making of the video.  They used 150 t-shirts to make the video.

Check out this video. Fortune’s Oliver Ryan interviews Spreadshirt CEO Jana Eggers for Tech Talk. The video is about 5 minutes long and also includes some clips of production and the Spreadshirt website.

Here are some pictures of the newest bag in the Spreadshirt product assortment. The tote bag is just on of the new additiona that is part of our Fall Support Your Cause Promotion. The tote bag comes in natural and black and is made by ECObags. ECObags follows a Fair Wage/Fair labor policy.

I made up some samples to see how the different colors of flex and flock look - I think the colors look pretty amazing. Please note - the totes in the pictures are just color samples-  I cut the hearts out by hand- I just wanted to see how the colors look on the tote and you can’t put that many colors on the same item.

Here is the natural tote bag:

Here is the black tote bag with most of the colors we offer here at Spreadshirt:

We put the “Spreadshirt” and the heart in sparkle flex on the other side of the black bag:

We hope that you love your order from Spreadshirt.  If for some reason, something is not right with your order we are here to help and you can send your item back to us.  But we don’t want your return to end up on this shelf…

If we don’t know who the package is from we can’t help!

So here are a few tips from the Spreadshirt customer service department for faster returns.

With your return please include the following information:

• Order #
• Name
• Contact info - phone number, email, address
• Reason for return - the more specific the better.  Was it the wrong size or is there a problem with the design?  The more information we have the better.
• The Quality Control Card, if you have it

I wanted to post a reminder about your the current promotion - Support Your Cause. Click here to see what we have added for the promotion.  What items have you featured in your shop?  What cause are you supporting this month? We want to know!

Don’t forget - $2.00 off items in the women’s category. (Use code: WOMEN07 for U.S customers and CADWOMEN07 for Canadian customers. Coupon Codes are good from 9/15 to 10/31)

With the upcoming Holiday season many are getting their shop and new products ready. The next shopping craze will be Halloween, then of course the biggest shopping sensation of the year…Christmas. Besides getting your designs and new products ready, check out what the world is searching for.

Two search results I found interesting were:

Yahoo! Buzz can give you the top searches in several different categories, such as TV, movies, sports, etc. Each list provides the top leaders and movers. The leader list offers the top searches and the number of days they have been on the list.

Google Trends will provide the top 100 searches of the day. Change the date to go back a few days or compare specific search phrases to each other. Comparison between Funny T-shirts and T-shirts returns a line chart to compare and region selection to see what your state or country is searching for.

Top searches can help get customers to your site, but simply adding T-shirts to your Key Words does not mean you will be selling 20 shirts tomorrow. Search Engine Optimization is still a major part of getting your shop noticed. Search Engine Guide provides some great tips and information about optimizing your site and keywords. Start optimizing now, so your shop can have better findings when the Internet Shopping season is in full swing!

Happy Optimizing!

Tim choose and organic t-shirt for his staff pick because…

I selected this item, because it fit well with the design I placed together aside from liking the feel and quality of the shirt. I think we should consider getting hoodies/ long sleeves with this.

The design is a picture of Tim’s fishing buddy.
