Fit with Spreadshirt: Fit as a Butcher‘s Dog

There is a host of motivating slogans that you can print on a T-shirt. “Pain is temporary, pride is forever”, “No Pain, No Gain“ and “One day, this pain will make sense”. You can tell that “pain“ is a theme here, and since nothing in life comes for free, we want to give you the extra incentive to walk through the shadow of the valley of pain, and finally master the most rewarding character-building experience of them all: sports! Check out our blog and learn how to subdue the demons of complacency, and then turn into the healthy beast you’re meant to be.

Those winter pounds are best bested by getting active. Since we ourselves are looking for a little motivation, we thought we’d ask the experts – football players. They may look big, but under all that equipment is a strong and finely tuned fitness machine. They’ll certainly have some tips on how to get motivated!

Spreadshirt has a keen eye on making the customer experience more fun and valuable. This is why we’ll be upgrading the partner management areas and shop functionality in 2015. It will help our shop partners create and sell ideas on the products we are offering them, faster and more efficiently.

One great change is taking place at the beginning of February 2015 already – the Premium Shop functionality will be free of charge. The following popular Premium Features will be free for all shop partners:

Manage multiple shops from one account
Run up to 5 T-Shirt Designer Shops
Localize your shop in up to 11 languages
Upload up to 50 vector or pixel graphic files for free – every day
Offer “limited editions” of certain products

In the year 2015, we’ll be introducing lots of new products. You’ll be able to personalize them in next to no time to create products for mobile-friendly shops. What’s more, the extension of our global range to Australia and Switzerland means that your designs are now available in the marketplaces of 18 countries, and they can be dispatched to as many as 150 countries. This and the added functionality is bound to make the whole Spreadshirt experience more rewarding for shop partners and customers alike.

Any questions? Please let us know! You can leave a comment below or get in touch with our service team: partner@spreadshirt.net – we’ll be glad to help!

Pantone’s trending colour 2015: Marsala

It’s like a colourful ground hog day: every year, the experts at Pantone choose a colour to enter the limelight for the next 12 months to come. Fashion conscious folks around the globe set great store by their opinion, so it comes as no surprise that the colour of the year 2015 has caused quite a stir among trendy aficionados already. The name of this year’s colour is as exotic as its origin – marsala. The name is derived from a dark and strong Sicilian liqueur wine that stems from the ancient town of Marsala, and you only need to imagine a cracked open pomegranate to picture its lush texture.

New Year’s Resolution: How Long Can You Last?

New Year’s resolutions aren’t for the faint of heart. They’re serious, serious commitments you resolve to live up to, no matter the cost, for 15 minutes or so. Here are a few resolutions you just may want to commit to for a little longer than that:

Get in Shape

Ha ha, yeah, we know, “round is a shape”… We’ve all heard that one once or twice. But seriously though, it’s probably time to get yourself to the gym. Don’t want to commit to the contract at the local sweat shop? Some push-ups, sit-ups and cardio in your living room are a good place to start.

Average drop-out rate for the “Get in Shape” resolution: 3 weeks

No More Baggage

We all carry around a ton of stuff. I’m not talking like, “that guy has a lot of baggage”, I’m talking cell phones, laptops, tablets, your lunch, your wallet or purse, etc. Let’s resolve to consolidate. Putting everything in one bag is a great way to keep your hands free for more important stuff (like coffee).

Average drop-out rate for “No More Baggage” resolution: 2.5 months

New Years Resolution

Be Seen Offline

Each one of us is a victim to the screen. Whether it’s your TV, your phone, your tablet or your laptop, we all spend a little too much time face-to-screen instead of face-to-face. Let’s resolve to be seen offline for a bit. Put down our devices a few times a day to sit and chat with a friend (NOT on Skype, you guys!).

Average drop-out time for “Be Seen Offline” resolution: 8 minutes

Hop on the Wagon

One the holiday season has come and gone, it’s usually a popular resolution to dry out the ol’ liver. After all the eggnog, the warm spiced wine and “Christmas cheer”, it’s a good idea. Couple this with getting in shape and you’re well on your way to a healthy 2015!

Average drop-out time for “Hop on the Wagon” resolution: Is it 5:00 yet?
