Meet our latest winners here!
Welcome to the weekly challenges, a feature of our new Shop Launch Challenge. If you haven't officially joined the challenge you can do that here. You have until March 16th to sign up.
Your First Challenge
Your first challenge, and one we hope that every shop owner takes part in, is to simply come and say hello! Introduce yourself within the community thread here: https://community.spreadshop.com/c/introduce-yourselfย
You can be as open as you wish! Spreadshop IS a global platform, so it's always nice to see where people are coming from. Tell us, why are you joining the challenge? What is your passion or purpose?
That might not seem like much of a "challenge" to you, but for many, it is! Let this be the first step for you if you're shy. And if you're good at saying hello, show the others how it's done.ย

Your First Lesson๏ปฟ
๏ปฟ
Spreadshop is so easy to use that it's tempting to get started and go it alone. We've seen people launch full blown brands with multiple designs in just a couple days. That can be inspiring to hear about, but take caution!
You think you have it all figured out. You spend tons of time researching, probably overthinking, and maybe you launch super fast and feel awesome and then...
POOF! Nothing happens. No sales. No traffic. You're discouraged. You tried that and it didn't work. You quit.

That's no bueno.

The cure is the COMMUNITY
That's what we really want Shop Launch Challenge to be. Sure, we want to give somebody a cash prize, but, the real treasure that everyone can win is connecting with one another.ย
Learning together. Encouraging each other. Even when things don't go quite right, you have your community to lift you back up. And who knows, maybe you will learn to build your own community along the way.

Hello everyone!
I'm Manuel and live at the Stelvio Pass in Italy. Some years ago I started social media channels and a Spreadshop to represent the pass!
I did that because there was no online presence about it and so I decided to start one. I am always trying to improve my work and that's why I join this challenge.
Greetings from Italyย

Hey everyone!
I'm Michael and I currently live in Sugar Land, TX (southwest suburb of Houston). I have always wanted to do something different and have been inspired by the small business owners and individuals who create their own work and are not afraid to follow their dreams and make their own path. I started a company called Bubba Creative, LLC which is an internet company that has created some iOS stickers apps and games. The original focus was on apps with hopes of one day creating physical merchandise.
I discovered Spreadshop in May 2020 and decided that this was the perfect opportunity to start creating merchandise from one of our favorite sticker apps, Powder Donut Co Stickers. We joined the Shop Launch Challenge to help us learn more and grow our brand. There is still more work to be done and we are always eager for a challenge!

Hello :Dย
My name is Erika, I'm from Italy and I've opened my shop in September 2020. There, I sell products with drawings which take inspiration from the places I've visited: mountains, towns, cities... โจ
My aim was to 'wear' real places, that I've been to and that I liked particularly, with the hope that also other people would find their favourite place among them.
I really hope this 'Shop Launch Challenge' would help my shop growing ๐ย
