Spreadshop Merch Cast

🔥Back in the saddle again....  with a new direction for our little podcast. We were really good at dropping all kinds of knowledge about the merch game, but now we're gonna drop knowledge ALL OVER THE DANG PLACE!!! Spreadshop podcast is now the BYOB Podcast, brought to you by Spreadhop.com. I'll be dropping tips and strategies you can use to help you build your own personal brand or even your own mega brand.  In my first swing at bat, I talk a little about my trip to eTail East 2019, where I was honored to speak on stage about "growth hacking" and building scrappy teams of experts. I could literally talk about this all day, and i did, for 4 whole days at eTail! It was a great time, full of big brands and fancy people. I recorded a piece of my talk to share with you all.  I hope you can use these few tips within your own journey of building your brand. And hey, if you need merch, I know a guy who knows a guy... spreadshop.com 🔥

In this riveting final episode of the Spreadshop merch cast, the gang fills you in on what they've been up to, new and upcoming features of the Spreadshop and we bid a fond farewell to this version of the podcast... Until we meet again! 🐎🧡

When selling merch online in your own store, we can all benefit from a little insider know-how. The Spreadshop insiders are always excited to field your questions. Whether you reach out via socials, forums, or chats, the team is at the ready to continue the conversation on how you can get the most out of your online merchandising efforts. In this week’s edition of the MerchCast podcast, the team was up to the task.  The format: three hosts; three questions. Taking recent questions from the interwebs, the gang responds in this lighthearted episode.  If you have questions on anything MERCH related, be sure to hit us up or send your audio questions in the Anchor App!

Many people overthink their merchandise before launching. Or they've never even tried selling merch before but they're worried about the variety of products that are available. In Today's Merch Cast the gang reminds you that it all starts with that FIRST SALE!  Listen in for our tips, and then take this week's challenge to start with ONE SHIRT! And it's a great week to try as you can offer your shirt with this free shipping promo January 29 - February 2  with Code: SHIP4U19 at checkout.  Let us know how it goes for you! And if you don't have a shop yet, get one for free at http://spreadshop.com 

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett  In today's Spreadshop MerchCast the guys talk all about how to learn from your failures and then win big! Maybe you've launched your custom merch and made no sales even after you had fans begging you for merch, or maybe it's just not how you envisioned it would be. Don't give up yet, listen to these key pointers and come back even stronger in the merch game.  Of course, the great thing about Spreadshop is you don't risk anything as it's absolutely free to use. No monthly fees or any of that BS to deal with. And an added bonus is, you can actually launch as many shops in your account as you wish. See for yourself at spreadshop.com

In this  episode of the Spreadshop MerchCast podcast, the insiders demonstrate  brainstorming skills by pulling ideas out of a hat — or in this case the  next best thing: a Bossk Halloween mask. That’s right, a rubber replica  of that creepy, lizard-like, bounty hunter from space.  The  podcast pals turn to their trusted friend Brooke to select ideas at  random that they then use to spitball ideas for merch designs, shop  styles, and promotional strategies. Just as Bossk hunts for elusive  Wookies across the galaxy far, far away, the team hunts for great ideas  to build a successful brand and sell merchandise online based on these random topics submitted to the group. 

In our first podcast of 2019 the gang gives a fun re-cap on why the heck Spreadshop is so awesome, what the heck you can do with it and more, and how it's basically for anyone and everyone.  We need your help for next episode! To show that it truly can be used by anyone we're going to do a live brainstorm episode and will draw a topic randomly while we record! So if you want some free advice or design ideas from our experts just send your topic to premiumdesign@spreadshirt.com or comment or message us through any of our social media.  If you're an Anchor App user, you can even send us an audio message and we can play your topic request on the show and shout out to your brand, product or social media handle.

The guys say goodbye to 2018 with a quick look back before sprinting forward with 3 top resolutions for Spreadshop owners in 2019. We'd like to thank all our listeners from 2018 and look forward to dropping more merch knowledge in 2019!

We hope all of our listeners enjoy the Holiday season!

We found out a real life Elf from the North Pole has her own Spreadshop so we decided to ask her a few questions. Unfortunately things are not so rosy up in the North Pole, and could Santa really be that bad of a boss?

For small non-profits print on demand is the perfect solution for your merch." - Aleasha Monroe. Online merch isn't just for Youtube creators and famous personalities.

We have some breaking news from Spreadshop land as the gang talks about an awesome new Spreadshop feature, that's of course completely free to use! Moose doesn't know how this can even be free.... but we assure you it's 1000% free. Unlike other players out there in the custom merch game, Spreadshop never charges you for these awesome features. In fact, we love taking the feedback we receive, giving it to our Wizards so they can cook up some amazing magic to make your experience even more fantastic! ❓To answer Moose's question of "How is this even free??! The answer is simple! The better we make the custom shop experience for you, the more you'll want to sell, and when you sell we all make money. We then keep reinvesting that money on better products and tools for creators. 🧗 We're climbing this Merch mountain together!

You upload the image, you launch it, you design it yourself, or you can have someone design it for you, its too easy. And I’ve got other stuff going on in my life, the less I have to worry about, branding the dark prince, the better, you know? What I like about Spreadshop is my fans can go in there and pick the color of the shirt they want, we get inspired by their designs just as they do ours. And it’s so fun and I love they can go in there and make their own phrase." - Motherwife Insert your demonic hissing sounds here! And ALL HAIL MR. BUBZ!
