Halocene: music, merch and more with UNLOCKD

Joseph, Brad and Addie are a three piece band from Phoenix, known as Halocene. With 4 original albums, over 300 covers on YouTube, and live concerts streamed on Twitch 3 times a week, they have built a loyal fan base that continues to grow.  

Merch inspired by a deeper message 

In conjunction with the release of Halocene’s new single “Devil Inside Me”, the band decided to create a new line of merchandise. Both the music and the merch raises awareness of an issue that affects so many lives in different ways—the never ending loop symbol speaks of struggling with addiction.

“In our music video, mine and Brad’s stories are constantly interlocked. What’s unique about this song is that it’s our first duet, and we play with the concept of having two voices speaking to each other throughout the song.”

Halocene x UNLOCKD

Halocene’s exclusive design is screen-printed on Champion’s premium garment range, as a part of Teespring’s UNLOCKD program. Fans will be able to purchase the design on both Champion’s double dry eco hoodie and unisex t-shirt. The signature Champion ‘C’ is also embroidered on each garment for authenticity.

“As independent artists, we’ve spent years making this band the best that it can be. The fact that we’re able to launch merch printed on Champion branded products is something we never even imagined would be possible.”

UNLOCKD is Teespring’s brand partnership program—recognizing talented creators like Halocene, giving them the opportunity to drop customized products from iconic and recognizable brands. Allowing the band to create unique merch in partnership with Champion allows not only an elevated commerce experience for their followers, but means they finish up with merch their community won’t want to miss out on.

Generating hype with merch drops 

Using branded merchandise as a tool for music promotion has a long-standing history in the industry. Selling customized products to fans allows artists to create conversations, spread the word, and encourage excitement. This Champion branded merch gives Halocene’s fans the perfect opportunity to show their support and loyalty by wearing the band’s designs.

We’d like to thank Halocene for sharing their experience with us and wish them the best of luck with their newest awesome single “Devil inside me”.

Benefit from Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns

To help creators grow, increase brand awareness, and increase sales, Spring is introducing Facebook and Instagram ads to help promote and connect our creators with targeted audiences. 

Features 

  • We manage your custom ads from start to finish. You don’t need to lift a finger.
  • We create image assets, write advertisement copy, and manage their performance. (Of course, your input at any step of the process is welcome)
  • On average, creators set up with Facebook ads see a staggering 30% increase in sales. 

Each sale generated from a Facebook ad is a boosted sale and follows the boosted payout. Keep in mind, these will not interfere with your organic sales. For example, if both Spring and the creator send the same customer to a listing during a seven day period, the sale will automatically be counted as an organic sale and you will receive the higher payout. See how it works by checking out the table below. 

  • Your guaranteed profit is estimated based on past performance of your ads and costs. The price of an advertisement is measured by cost per action (CPA). CPA is calculated by dividing the total spent on an add by the number of sales produced by that ad.  
  • The CPA varies based on many factors, for example, we might look at your audience size and ad auction prices. However, Spring’s growth team optimizes the CPA for each individual listing. 
  • If the CPA is low, we’ll work on increasing your audience so we can achieve more sales. If high, then we’ll redesign the ad campaign to equate lower costs.  
  • No Facebook ad campaign is the same, but creators are guaranteed the same boosted payout. Fluctuations in the cost of advertising will not affect this.

Get started

  1. Reach out to your account manager or apply below to let us know you’re interested.
  2. Spring will select which of your products to promote, based on new releases and best sellers. 
  3. Our design and growth team will build your campaign with images and written content. 
  4. We’ll send you a request to link our Facebook business account with yours. This easy step allows us to run ads that appear as if they are coming from your account—linking accounts does not give us access to edit your page or view sensitive information. 
  5. Due to IOS 14 and Facebook’s new advertising restrictions, all creators that sign up for this program must have a custom domain connected to their Spring account. Once this step is complete, we can help you verify your domain with Facebook.

Spring will handle the rest. Now watch the sales roll in! 😉

Create a co-ord listing

Discover ‘co-ords’–a longstanding, consistent trend that is still persisting this season. Short for the word ‘coordinates’, it means matching apparel products head to toe. This could be designing a set of matching loungewear such as joggers and sweatshirt or leggings and a t-shirt.

Combining pairs of products with co-ordinating designs by adding products to existing listings will encourage buyers to purchase several pieces in one go, increasing profits and the volume of products added to shopping carts.
