The new transparent stickers are great -- only problem I see is that the Edit Design window doesn't let me edit the background selections, so I can't make that the ONLY option for my white/light element designs. I don't want customers to accidentally select a white background and then not be able to read the design when they get it.
Can I request a Spreadshop update that gives us editing control over stickers 😀?

Shop mirroring. Does it exist? Are you working on it? An easy way for us in another region to mirror our store to the US or vice versa without having to add and configure every single product, one by one?
Preset shapes for stickers. Are you working on it? We have a few designs that will not cut out properly unless we upload a separate design just for a sticker, with its own border. So, having an option to select a circle, rectangle, star, what have you, as the cutout preset for the stickers, that would be great.
Trust everyone is doing well.

This week's challenge: Launch a NEW design and promote it!
Maybe you thought you were going to just launch a shop, throw up one design and be done with it? No, no, no! That is not the way.
Are you having trouble finding designs or making designs? Stuck? Here's a quick pro-tip. You can use a free app on your phone to make shirt designs. Watch this video here:
App is called "OVER" on iOS and Android. You can learn even more about it here https://www.madewithover.com/ (free!!!)

While you don't need to launch new designs all the time, we highly encourage you to do so. Why? Let's take a look at a few ways of thinking about this and how it benefits you:
Quantity vs. Quality vs. Consistency
We see a lot of shops just dumping 20-30 designs into their accounts right off the bat, slapping them on products and thinking sales are just going to fly in.
That's a pretty big waste.
Can you imagine how you'd feel if you were that one design? You never got your moment in the sun; to be highlighted and celebrated. Do you want your shop to feel like an awesome clothing brand, or the discount bin shop at the local flea market?
That's a pretty big waste.

Now, sometimes those designs are FANTASTIC! You're simply eager to show them all off at once! I get it. Think strategically here about building up the following of your shop over time.
Instead of dumping 7 designs all at once and praying for sales, maybe you should consider a 7 week rollout! Hype up a new design each week on your instagram, blog or newsletter? More on that in a second....
Too many choices can lead to no choice at all.
You can offer well over a 100 different products on Spreadshop to print your design on. That's AWESOME and insane to really think about how easy it is. But SHOULD YOU???
Imagine you now have 7 new designs you dumped into your shop and put on hundreds of products. They look pretty good on the screen and it's been fun making them and imagining people buying them.
In reality though, you now have hundreds of choices for them to choose, and without a focus, sometimes customers feel overwhelmed and just choose to back away.

It's okay to say, "I'm going to launch JUST one design this week." and maybe this design only comes on stickers and totes. That can also become part of your product story...
A better game plan for your design launches
Make one new design. Make a plan for how you will promote it. Let's focus on this ONE design:
- What are you going to say about this design?
- Who would want to buy it and why?
- Any special notes or message behind the design?
- What products does this really work on? Maybe it should only be on a few? Maybe it works on many?
- What is YOUR favorite product to have it on and why?
That can be a fun process to do!
I'm going to pretend now that this is my new design I am launching. The old "Quit Your Day Job" slogan:
Now, this slogan to me is more like a call to action for you to pursue your passions and work toward your goals. The ultimate dream of quitting your day job to make a living doing what you love! And so that's the type of messaging I would put out when I was selling this to our fans. Here are some quick examples:
- "WARNING: This shirt will make your boss extremely nervous!"
- "This is our wish for you! Do more of what you love!"
- "You are not your day job. Here's something to wear to remind you while you work on what really matters to you."
Now, that's not the best graphic I could make. I just wanted to show you an example of simply cutting and pasting an ad together. You could probably do even better with that free app I linked above.
If I were REALLY planning a design launch of my own, I might take a little more time to make a neat visual campaign based around those questions you should be asking yourself before you launch a design.

Your to-do list for this week's challenge:
- Make a New Design for your Spreadshop this week.
- Put it on at least one product.
- Promote it however you choose best for your brand. (social, video, stories)
- Come back here into the comments and share what you've done and where you did it. :) Also be sure to link us to your product on your Spreadshop! Who knows, maybe you'll get some surprise sales!!! ;)
You ready??? Let's do this!!!
