Spring Your Ideas to Life with Custom Products!

Post author By Accounts Amaze
Post date August 15, 2024

After years of watching creators blow up with success, we kind of know a thing or two about how to get you there—custom products.

Spring is now offering Custom Products for creators who have reached certain benchmarks. Why? Because we believe all your hard work should be rewarded. Read on for all the details or apply to create your own custom product here.

If you can dream it, we can make it.

Think up the wildest, most creative custom made merchandise your fans might like, such as fuzzy cat vases, avocado slippers, and unicorn poop emoji candles (TMI?), and make it come to life with Spring.

Spring’s product options grow every year, but this year we’re blowing off the lid on opportunity. Why stop at simple merch when you can literally do anything? Turn your ideas into decor, toys, make custom clothes, whatever your heart desires. Test the limits of your imagination.

Whether you’re a new or existing creator who is already creating products such as plushies, calendars, and various accessories, you have the chance to create a unique connection with your audience. You can sell YOU. All your custom products are showcased on your own storefront. No fees. No sweat. We cover all that. For free.

And if you’re sitting there thinking to yourself, “But who wants to take the trouble to learn how to design, build a storefront, track inventory, ship it, and provide customer service…” Stop. You don’t have to know how to create custom clothing, candles, or plushies. We do all that for you, too. We’re the experts so you don’t have to be. You can focus on the only thing that matters—dreaming up your custom products!

Get started here!

Custom products are the key to success

Don’t take our word for it. Check out this Spring creator, Laura Porter, who used custom products to connect deeper with her fans and make an adorable plushie of her rainbow crab!

Howie the Crab is a beloved social media star, famous for his charming walks and cute, quirky outfits.

Thanks to Spring, Laura was able to bring Howie the Crab’s TikTok charm to life as a lovable plushie, letting fans keep a piece of Howie with them. As a result, Laura experienced:

Major Sales: Howie’s plushie launch generated 20 times more sales for Laura in the first week compared to previous weeks.
Deeper Fan Connection: Howie’s plushie gave fans a fun way to connect with their TikTok favorite.
Seamless Selling: With Spring’s social integrations, Howie’s plushie was available to fans on every corner of the internet.

Spring has also helped countless others bring their ideas to life through custom products. Check out some of our favs below!

Don Marshall’s famed Lord of the Rings “On This Day” Calendar. See full store.

Katie Shober’s Beach Reads & Bubbly “Hot Girls Read” Bookmark. See full store.

Tom Bates’s Nigel and Marmalade Plushie. See full store.

Who qualifies and how do you get started?

If you’re a new creator or thinking about getting started, there are a few things to consider before you apply.

We’re looking for creators who:

Have a public social media profile
Have over 5k engaged following on at least 2 social channels
Frequently post content
Have at least four months of original, high-quality, shoppable content
Have experience promoting shoppable content

Apply now!

Why you want to launch a custom product NOW

Launch Ahead for Holidays

Look, we know many creators have success all year long, but there’s no denying that the holiday season boasts 121% more sales than the rest of the year combined!

Get your piece of the holiday pie and here’s how:

Create and launch your custom products now! You’ll thank yourself later when you’re kicking your feet up with an eggnog and watching your sales tick up.

Most importantly: Order samples to use in your content.

And guess what? You can buy your samples At Cost. Yep, we don’t aim for profit because we know you need samples to build your business. Order what you need to showcase on your channels to hype up your fans. Have fun with it, and make sure to let your fans know when they need to order to receive it before any upcoming holiday. (Black Friday/Cyber Monday anyone?)

Speaking of Dates (If you’re the last-minute type)

When looking to launch custom products, be aware of some crucial target dates, including cutoffs. Here’s a quick guide for the 2024 holiday season:

LABOR DAY (Sep 2)
THANKSGIVING (Nov 28)
BLACK FRIDAY (Nov 29)
CYBER MONDAY (Dec 2)
CHRISTMAS & HANUKKAH (Dec 25)
Cutoff Dates for Guaranteed Delivery before Christmas:
- Mid Nov for International Orders
- Late Nov for U.S. Orders

Why it’s not just about the holidays

While the holidays are great for business, you want to keep up your game all year long. Here are two strategies to employ to create custom merchandise:

Launch Limited Editions: No one wants to blink and miss something special. The FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is always real when a custom clothing design is only available for a limited time. You can always bring back popular editions and keep tweaking for fresh versions.
Offer Year Round Products: A good way to build up your fanbase and keep new people coming into your brand. When the holiday season rolls around, you can run your promos and ramp up deals to an established fanbase.

Post date August 1, 2024

This milestone brings affordable shipping and faster delivery to residents in India, revolutionizing the creator economy.

AUGUST 1, 2024 — Amaze, an all-in-one, end-to-end creator commerce solution, is thrilled to announce the expansion of its Spring by Amaze platform with new fulfillment centers in India. This significant development marks a major step into one of the world’s fastest-growing markets for creators and was revealed first at YouTube FanFest, generating widespread buzz and excitement among Indian creators and fans alike.

By establishing localized fulfillment centers, creators in India can now offer their communities quicker, more cost-effective shipping options, eliminating the high international shipping fees that previously hindered purchases. This move not only enhances the customer experience but also reduces environmental impact through localized distribution.

“Amaze is dedicated to supporting creators in their journey to grow their brands. Launching in India was a natural step. We’ve invested significantly to make this happen this year, and we’re excited about the potential it brings,” said Aaron Day, CEO of Amaze. “As the creator economy continues to flourish, our expansion into India equips creators with a dynamic platform to monetize their communities effectively and further solidify their global brand presence.”

This expansion is also a significant milestone for existing Spring creators, especially those in India who have been seeking to connect with fans in North America and Europe. Now, they can engage seamlessly with their local communities and deliver unique merchandise directly to their fan base. By enabling quicker and more affordable shipping, this new development opens up fresh opportunities for creators to generate new revenue streams and strengthen their brand presence in India.

“I am thrilled to announce our launch in this vibrant and expansive market,” says Yoheswaran (Yogi) Gnanavel, Amaze Director of India GTM. “With our existing support for creators in Europe, North America, and Australia, expanding into India underscores our commitment to becoming a truly global platform. India represents a massive market of creators with a thriving ecosystem that has seen substantial growth in recent years. This move highlights our confidence in India’s potential as one of the fastest-growing economies and our dedication to empowering creators worldwide. We couldn’t be more thankful to our partners at YouTube for their unwavering support.”

The announcement at YouTube FanFest India, one of the most anticipated events in the creator community, has sparked excitement across the industry. With this expansion, Spring by Amaze is not just providing a platform but is also fostering a global community of creators and fans, breaking down barriers, and creating new opportunities for collaboration and growth.

Top 7 Tips to Sell More on Spring: A Must-Read Guide

Post author By aj betancourt
Post date July 25, 2024

Once you’ve designed and launched your products, it’s time to show them off to your fans. But how can you do that without coming across as salesy?

There are many creative and effective ways to promote your Spring products online naturally and authentically.

From ordering samples to creating engaging short-form videos, stunning photos, and collaborating with influencers, we’ve got you covered. Our 7 tips will help you maximize your product visibility, engage your audience, and boost your sales. Ready to make your products the talk of the season? Dive into our strategies below and watch your Spring products shine!

1. Order Samples

First things first, get some samples of your products. Having the actual items in hand lets you check the quality and see how amazing they really are. Plus, it makes it so much easier to show them off in your content (see steps 2 and 3 for suggestions on how)!

Tips for Selecting the Right Samples:

Pick a mix of your best-sellers and new designs.
Get colors that you think will look best on camera.
Make sure to choose designs that really represent your brand.

Benefits of Physical Products for Promotion:

Authenticity: People trust you more when they see you with the real product.
Creativity: You can come up with lots of cool ways to show off your stuff (see steps below for inspo).
Content Creation: From unboxing to styling, the possibilities are endless.

2. Create Short Form Videos

Did you know that over 1 billion people use TikTok each month, and Instagram Reels get nearly 22% more engagement than regular Instagram posts? More and more people are starting to prefer video content, so don’t skip making short-form videos about your products!

They’re quick, fun, and shareable, making them ideal for capturing the attention of your followers and potential customers. Check out these creative ideas and best practices for making awesome short-form videos to boost your sales.

Ideas for Short Form Videos:

Unboxings: Capture the excitement of opening your product for the first time. People love seeing the unboxing experience and imagining it for themselves.
Behind-the-Scenes: Give your followers a peek into your creative process. Sharing the story behind your product can make it feel more personal and special.
Fan Highlights: Show off your fans using or wearing your products. Real reviews from real people can build trust and influence purchasing decisions.

Best Practices for Engaging Video Content:

Keep it short and sweet: Aim for 15-30 seconds to keep your viewers engaged. Attention spans are short, so make every second count.
Use trending music and hashtags: This can help your videos get noticed and reach a wider audience. Stay up-to-date with popular trends and incorporate them into your content.
Add clear calls-to-action: Encourage viewers to take the next step, like “Check out the link in my bio” or “Swipe up to buy.” Make it easy for them to find and purchase your products. If you haven’t already, make sure you add our social integrations to make shopping your products easy.
Be yourself: Show your personality and connect with your audience. Don’t just try to say, “Buy this product.” Instead, talk about your new lineup the same way you talk in all your videos or social posts. Being authentic helps you sell more and not lose your fans’ trust.

3. Take Stunning Photos

Amazing pictures can make your products pop and grab people’s attention instantly. Did you know that posts with high-quality images get 94% more views than those without? So, let’s make sure your photos are on point and stand out in the feed!

Tips for Taking Professional-Looking Product Photos:

Lighting: Natural light is your best friend. Shoot near windows or outside to avoid harsh shadows and get that soft, even lighting. If you’re shooting indoors, try to do it during the day when the light is best.
Background: Keep it simple so your product is the star. A clean, neutral background (like a white wall or a wooden table) works wonders. You can also use colorful backgrounds if they match your brand vibe.
Angles: Try different angles to find the most flattering shots. Shoot from above, the side, or get down low. Mix it up to show all the cool features of your product.
Detail Shots: Include close-ups to highlight special features. Whether it’s the texture of a fabric or the intricate design on an accessory, zoom in to show it off.

Tools and Resources for Photo Editing:

Apps: Use apps like VSCO, Lightroom, or Snapseed to edit your photos. These tools have awesome filters and editing features to make your pics look pro.
Editing Tips: Play with brightness, contrast, and saturation to make your photos pop. A little tweak can make a big difference. Just don’t overdo it—keep it looking natural.
Consistency: Stick to a consistent editing style to keep your feed looking cohesive. Use the same filters and adjustments for all your photos to create a recognizable and aesthetic brand look.

Where to Post These Photos:

Instagram: Share posts, stories, and highlights. Instagram is all about the visuals, so make sure your photos shine. Use stories for behind-the-scenes shots and highlights for organizing product categories or collections.
Pinterest: Create eye-catching pins to drive traffic to your store. Pinterest is great for visual discovery, so make your pins pop and link them directly to your product pages.
Facebook: Post in groups and on your page to reach more people. Join relevant groups and share your photos there, or post them on your business page to keep your followers engaged.

By taking stunning photos and sharing them on the right platforms, you’ll make your products stand out, attract more followers, and boost your sales on Spring!

4. Post on Social Media

Social media is your playground for promotion, where you can make your products shine. With platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, you have the power to reach a massive audience and engage with your followers in fun and creative ways.

Wherever you normally connect with your followers is where you’ll want to post about your products. So, if you’re a gaming creator on Twitch, post about it there. If your fan base is on YouTube, show off your products on that platform.

Strategies for Creating Engaging Posts:

Storytelling: Share the story behind your product—what inspired you, and what makes it special. People love to know the “why” behind what they’re buying. Did you design that awesome hoodie because you wanted to create something cozy and stylish? Tell your followers!
User-Generated Content: Encourage your fans to share their photos and tag you. There’s nothing better than seeing real people rocking your products. Repost their content, give them a shoutout, and watch the magic of social proof work wonders.
Wear Your Products in Normal Posts: You don’t always need to be talking about your products or calling them out in order to promote them well. If you have hoodies, tees, hats, etc. wear them in your normal posts or videos to let your fans see you wearing them in your day-to-day life, instead of just hearing you telling them to buy your merch.

Importance of Consistent Posting and Interaction:

Consistency: Post regularly to keep your audience hooked and wanting to buy your products. Use a content calendar to plan your posts ahead of time. Mix it up with different types of content—photos, videos, stories, and more. On average, it takes about 7-10 touchpoints before someone decides to make a purchase, so staying consistent is crucial.
Interaction: Respond to comments and messages quickly. Show your followers you care. A simple “Thank you!” or “Glad you love it!” goes a long way. Engage in conversations, ask questions, and make your followers feel valued.

Stories and Live Sessions:

Stories: Share behind-the-scenes content, sneak peeks, and product launches. Stories are perfect for giving your followers a glimpse into your day-to-day life and designing or unboxing your products. Use stickers, music, and filters to make them fun and engaging.
Live Sessions: Host a few live sessions where you can show off your samples and talk about your products. Engaging with your fans about your products and answering their questions can encourage them to buy.

Pro Tips:

Hashtags: Use relevant hashtags to increase your reach. Mix popular hashtags with niche ones to target your specific audience.
Collaborations: Team up with other creators or influencers for shoutouts, takeovers, or joint projects. It’s a win-win for everyone involved. (See step 6 for more info!)
Analytics: Keep an eye on your social media analytics to see what’s working and what’s not. Adjust your strategy based on the data to keep improving.

5. Tap into Community Channels

Community channels like forums, Facebook groups, and Reddit are awesome places to share your products with people who are into the same stuff as you. If you’ve got a decent following and a specific niche, these channels can be super powerful for getting your products out there. Here’s how to do it right!

Identifying Relevant Community Channels:

Find Your Niche Groups: Look for groups that match your niche. If you sell fitness gear, join fitness communities. Love gaming? Find gamer groups. Whatever your passion, there’s a community out there for it.
Get Involved: Be active in the community before promoting your products. Comment on posts, answer questions, and share your insights. Build relationships and trust first—people are more likely to support someone they know and like.

How to Authentically Share Products:

Share Your Journey: Talk about your experiences and the story behind your products. Be genuine and relatable. People love hearing the behind-the-scenes details and what makes your products special.
Offer Exclusives: Give community members something special, like exclusive discounts or early access to new products. This makes them feel valued and part of an insider group.
Don’t Spam: Focus on providing value and building connections. Share helpful tips, join discussions, and only mention your products when it fits naturally into the conversation.

Benefits of Community Engagement:

Word-of-Mouth Marketing: When people in the community love your products, they’ll talk about them. Happy customers will spread the word to others who trust their opinions.
Get Feedback: Direct feedback from your target audience is gold. Use their input to improve your products and better meet their needs.
Build Support: Create a loyal community that supports your brand and mission. Engaged community members are more likely to be repeat customers and brand advocates.

6. Team Up With Influencers and Collab

Influencers are your ticket to reaching new audiences and building street cred. According to Influencer Marketing Hub, businesses are raking in $5.20 for every $1 spent on influencer marketing. Here’s how to get in on the action:

How to Find and Approach Influencers:

Research: Find influencers who vibe with your brand and have an engaged following.
Approach: Slide into their DMs with a personalized message. Explain why they’d love your product and highlight the benefits of working together.

Benefits of Influencer Marketing:

Reach: Access the influencer’s audience to expand your reach.
Credibility: Influencers have earned their followers’ trust. Their shoutout can boost your brand’s credibility.
Engagement: Influencer content often gets higher engagement rates than brand posts.

Ideas for Collaboration:

Giveaways: Team up with influencers to host giveaways. This boosts engagement and attracts new followers.
Co-Branded Content: Create content together, like blog posts, videos, or social media takeovers.
Reviews: Send your products to influencers for honest reviews and feedback.

By partnering with influencers, you can create exciting, authentic content that resonates with a wider audience and builds your brand’s presence.

7. Host Giveaways and Contests

Giveaways and contests are a blast and a great way to create buzz and get your products noticed. According to Tailwind, Instagram accounts running contests grow 70% faster than those that don’t. Here’s how to make the most of them:

How Giveaways and Contests Can Boost Product Visibility:

Engagement: Contests get people to like, comment, and share your content.
Reach: Participants often share the contest with their followers, spreading your reach.
Customer Acquisition: Giveaways attract new followers and potential customers.

Steps to Plan and Execute a Successful Giveaway:

Goal: Define your goal (e.g., increase followers, boost sales, raise brand awareness).
Prize: Pick a cool prize that fits your brand.
Rules: Clearly outline the rules and how to enter.
Promotion: Promote your giveaway on all your channels to get the word out.
Selection: Use a random selection tool to pick the winner and announce it publicly.

Legal Considerations and Best Practices:

Compliance: Make sure your contest follows platform rules.
Transparency: Be clear about the rules and selection process.
Follow-Up: Engage with participants after the contest to keep them interested and build relationships.

Post date June 11, 2024

Big news! We’ve just launched some super popular T-shirt options from well-known apparel leaders on our platform—names your fans recognize for their quality. These tees offer top-notch fit, comfort, and durability.

Check out our three new T-shirt options below, all known for their trendy styles and lasting quality. Stay tuned—there are more awesome options on the way to keep your fans coming back for more!

Zuni 1001 | Unisex Short Sleeve Crew Neck T-Shirt

The Zuni 1001 is a classic tee celebrated for its unparalleled comfort and stylish, sleek look that resonates with consumers. It’s crafted from 100% ring-spun combed cotton, a material known for its exceptional softness and durability. This type of cotton is made by finely spinning the cotton strands to create a smoother, stronger, and finer yarn. The combing process further refines it by removing shorter fibers and impurities, which results in a fabric that not only feels luxuriously soft but also minimizes pilling after washes. This makes the Zuni 1001 an ideal choice for both everyday wear and specialty branded merchandise where comfort and appearance are paramount.

Enhanced with double-needle stitching on the hems and sleeves, the Zuni 1001’s durability is significantly boosted, ensuring it can withstand frequent wear and washing without losing its integrity. The ribbed crew neck adds a timeless element of style and aids in maintaining the shape of the neckline over time. Moreover, the tee includes a tear-away label, which increases comfort by preventing irritation that traditional labels can cause.

Available in a range of sizes from XS to 3XL and in 13 vibrant colors, the Zuni 1001 offers ample flexibility for creators to showcase their designs vividly and effectively. Whether your fans are looking for a comfortable everyday tee or a stylish piece that makes a statement, this shirt meets their needs while enhancing your brand’s appeal with its quality and wearability. Add the Zuni 1001 to your product line and give your fans a shirt they’ll love to wear again and again, promoting not just a product but an experience.

Introducing the Comfort Colors 1717, a Classic Heavyweight T-shirt that epitomizes relaxed style and ultimate comfort. This tee is meticulously crafted from garment-dyed ring-spun cotton, renowned for its rich, lived-in color and ultra-soft texture. The use of ring-spun cotton involves tightly twisting the cotton strands to create a stronger, smoother, and finer yarn, resulting in a fabric that not only feels luxuriously soft against the skin but also exhibits superior durability. This process enhances the shirt’s overall wearability and appeal, making it a perfect canvas for creators who want their designs on quality apparel that fans will cherish and wear repeatedly.

The robust double-needle stitching at the collar, armholes, sleeves, and bottom hems bolsters the tee’s resilience, crucial for merchandise that withstands the test of time and frequent use. Further fortifying its structure, the twill-taped neck and shoulders prevent stretching and shape distortion, ensuring the tee maintains its form and fit through wear and wash. Additionally, the pre-shrunk fabric of the Comfort Colors 1717 ensures that sizing remains consistent, which is vital for maintaining customer trust and satisfaction with every purchase.

Available in a wide range of sizes, from XS to 3XL, and in 17 vibrant yet earthy colors, this t-shirt offers extensive versatility. It is a stellar choice for any creator looking to broaden their merchandise offerings with high-quality, comfortable, and stylish apparel that resonates with their audience. The Comfort Colors 1717 is more than just a t-shirt; it’s a dependable piece that enhances any creator’s brand by consistently delivering comfort and style.

Bella Canvas 3001 | Classic Unisex Jersey T-Shirt

The Bella Canvas 3001 Classic Unisex Jersey T-Shirt stands out for its superior comfort and style. The shirt’s classic fit is universally flattering and designed to look great on anyone who wears it.

This tee is crafted from 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, which sets it apart from standard cotton shirts. Airlume cotton is the highest quality cotton you can use, defined by its cleaner and more uniform fibers. This results in a smoother, softer fabric that not only feels luxurious against the skin but also provides an excellent print surface. If your designs involve detailed graphics or vibrant prints, this fabric ensures they appear crystal clear and bright.

The Bella Canvas 3001 is built to last with sturdy side seams, shoulder taping, and a crew neck. These features contribute to the tee’s overall durability and ability to maintain its shape, making it a dependable choice for everyday wear. Available in a broad spectrum of 39 colors, this t-shirt allows for a wide range of creative designs that can resonate with any brand’s aesthetic.

It’s also pre-shrunk during the manufacturing process, which helps preserve the tee’s shape and size after multiple washes, a key factor for maintaining customer satisfaction.

By adding the Bella Canvas 3001 to your store, you offer your fans a top they’ll love for its enduring quality and exceptional comfort. Watch as they flock to snag this new favorite, eager to sport your designs in style and comfort.

Master the Art of Mockups to Perfect Your Designs

Getting your designs just right before they hit the market is crucial, and that’s where mockup tools come into play. They’re your best bet for ensuring your graphics look spot-on in real-life scenarios.

Whether you’re adjusting a tee design or previewing a new phone case, these mockup generators let you see your creations in the wild before making them public. Here’s a lineup of some stellar mockup tools that can help refine your designs, providing a sneak peek at how they’ll actually look and feel to your customers.

Mediamodifier is ideal for those last-minute checks to ensure your design fits perfectly in the intended product scene. It’s all about giving you a realistic preview fast.

Design Smart: File Specs and Tips

Creating awesome designs is just the first step; the real magic happens when they’re print-ready. Nailing the technical specs is crucial to ensuring your visuals look as crisp and vibrant in person as they do on your screen.

From choosing the right file formats and sizes to optimizing the resolution and color accuracy, here are the essential tips to keep your designs looking top-notch when printed. Whether you’re a seasoned designer or just starting out, these guidelines will help you master the art of file preparation for flawless results every time. You can also read our complete design requirements here.

File Formats and Sizes

Stick to high-quality PNG files to keep your visuals crisp and clear. Watch the file size—Spring has a 50 MB limit, so size your files accordingly.

Resolution for Perfection

For the sharpest details, aim for 300 DPI. If you’re working on larger designs, like for all-over prints, you might need to drop to 150 DPI to manage file sizes without losing quality.

Color Accuracy

Stick with CMYK for color accuracy in printing. Bright and neon colors might look cool on screen but can be tricky to print, so it’s best to avoid them.

Share Your Designs Across Social Media

Once you’ve nailed your designs, the next step is to get the word out and make some noise on social media. These savvy tools are here to supercharge your online presence, helping you extend your reach and showcase your latest creations.
