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!

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!

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.
