Bringing a product from concept to market can be one of the most challenging aspects of building a brand. But with the new Amaze and Pietra partnership, those challenges are a thing of the past. Creators now have access to a streamlined, one-stop solution for custom product development, eliminating the complexities of vendor sourcing and logistics management.
Whether it’s launching cosmetics, apparel & accessories, or home goods, this collaboration ensures a more efficient and lower-cost journey from ideation to final product.

They can design, own, and sell their own custom products—unique to their personal brand and ideas—unlocking higher profits and greater control over their revenue streams. This collaboration offers creators the tools they need to build something truly their own and maximize their earnings.
Amaze is truly leading the charge in Creator Powered Commerce by removing barriers and ensuring that creators of all sizes can transform their passion into sustainable businesses. This partnership represents a pivotal moment in the creator economy, where the possibilities for success are limitless.
CALIFORNIA, October 14, 2024 – Amaze, a leader in creator-powered commerce solutions, announced today a strategic integration with Adobe Express, the quick and easy create-anything app, to put Adobe’s world-class creative tools right at the fingertips of creators directly on the Spring by Amaze platform. This integration is a game-changer, providing creators of all sizes with seamless access to professional-grade design features—directly within Spring—making it easier than ever to create and sell extraordinary products.
A New Era of Seamless Creator Commerce
Starting today, Adobe Express will be integrated into Spring, allowing creators to design stunning graphics, apply them to products, and launch within one seamless platform—simplifying the entire process from idea to market. Creators can now elevate their products from great to extraordinary with the intuitive design tools Adobe Express is known for.
This integration couldn’t come at a better time as the creator commerce landscape rapidly expands. According to Pew Research Center, creators are in a prime position to capitalize on their influence, with three in ten adult social media users reporting they’ve purchased something after seeing a post from an influencer or content creator. However, most of these purchases are for products made by other brands, meaning creators only earn a fraction of the profit through affiliate marketing or promotions. By launching and selling their own products, creators can unlock a more lucrative revenue stream, earning more from each sale while also strengthening their brand.
The challenge for many creators has been navigating the complexities of design, product development, and logistics, leading to missed opportunities. That’s where this collaboration comes in. With Spring handling all printing, shipping, manufacturing, and distribution aspects, creators only need to focus on designing and promoting their products. Now, with the power of Adobe Express integrated into Spring, designing products their communities will love is easier than ever. The entire process—from concept to launching a live product—can be completed in minutes, all within the Spring platform. This integration is making it simpler than ever for creators to bring their ideas to life and start selling quickly.
Simplifying Design, Amplifying Creator Success
Adobe Express brings more than just design capabilities—it brings a new level of creative freedom. With features powered by generative AI designed to be safe for commercial use, creators can effortlessly transform simple text prompts into eye-catching, professional-grade graphics in just a few clicks. This powerful blend of ease and functionality means that even those with little to no design experience can produce stunning visuals their online communities will love. With access to thousands of professionally designed templates, a vast library of Adobe assets, and powerful editing tools, creators can streamline the design process while creating a distinctive look.
“Our goal at Amaze has always been to empower creators by removing barriers to success,” says Aaron Day, CEO of Amaze. “This collaboration with Adobe Express is a natural extension of that mission. By integrating Adobe’s design tools directly into Spring, we’re giving creators everything they need to succeed—all in one place. We believe that when creators have the right tools, they can turn their vision into reality, and, in doing so, unlock new revenue streams and build thriving businesses.”
Key Features of the Amaze and Adobe Express Integration:
Intuitive Design Tools: Professional-grade design tools are now available directly within the Spring product launcher, making it easy for creators to design graphics for their products without ever leaving the platform.
Generative AI Capabilities: Advanced AI features allow creators to transform simple text prompts into stunning visuals and unique text effects, streamlining the design process. Adobe Express features powered by Adobe Firefly generative AI are built to be commercially safe so creators can confidently use them for their businesses.
Vast Creative Library: Creators can access Adobe’s extensive collection of fonts, templates, and images to elevate product designs and create professional-quality products.
Exclusive Offer for Spring Creators: Spring users can take advantage of a 3-month free trial of Adobe Express Premium, unlocking even more advanced design features and creative possibilities.
Building the Future of Creator Commerce
Adobe’s mission has always been to make creativity accessible to everyone, and this integration with Amaze is a testament to that commitment. “We’re excited to partner with Amaze and bring the power of Adobe Express to the creator economy,” says Rob Cohee, Director of Product Management at Adobe. “By integrating directly into Spring, we’re giving creators the tools they need to create high-quality products that resonate with their audience—and turn those products into real business success.”
Amaze is not just leading the charge in creator commerce—it’s breaking down walls that once held creators back and opening doors to new possibilities. The path to building a brand, growing a community, and achieving financial freedom is now a reality for every creator. With the tools and support Amaze provides, there are no limits to what creators can achieve.

Let’s get real: as a content creator, your work is basically your baby, right? Whether it’s that super catchy slogan everyone quotes, your fire logo, or a design that’s totally your vibe, these aren’t just fun little side projects. They’re your brand. And as your brand starts blowing up, you better believe others are going to take notice—some might even try to snag your ideas if you’re not careful. That’s where copyrights and trademarks come in, to keep your stuff yours and protect you from anyone trying to ride your creative coattails.
By the end of this guide, you’ll know the difference between copyrights and trademarks, how to get your hands on them, and why they’re the best way to safeguard your creative empire. We’re about to break it down for you so that you can make moves like a pro, keep your brand safe, and avoid any messy legal drama down the line. Ready to level up? Let’s go.
Alright, let’s break it down in a way that won’t make your head spin: copyrights and trademarks might seem like they’re the same thing, but they’re actually here to do different jobs for your brand.
Copyright allows you to protect your creative work. If you’re an artist, designer, or creator making original content (think artwork, designs, music, videos, etc.), copyright is your best friend. The moment you create something tangible—like uploading a design or a video—you automatically have copyright protection. But here’s the kicker: registering it officially gives you even more legal muscle if someone tries to rip you off.
Trademark, on the other hand, is about protecting your brand’s identity. This includes things like your slogan, brand name, or logo—anything that makes your brand instantly recognizable in the marketplace. So, if you’ve got a killer catchphrase that’s become part of your brand, you’re going to want to trademark it before someone else does. Unlike copyright, trademarking isn’t automatic; you’ve gotta file for it.
Quick Recap:
Copyright = Protects your creative work (e.g., designs, videos, written content).
Trademark = Protects your brand elements (e.g., logos, slogans, brand names).
Which One Do You Need? If you’re designing merch or have a unique logo or slogan associated with your brand, you’ll probably want both! Copyright protects the creative stuff you’ve made, while trademarks lock down the branding that makes your content or products stand out.
Why Trademarking is a Big Deal for Creators
Your slogan, logo, and overall brand vibe are what make you stand out. They’re what people remember, what they associate with you, and ultimately what can help you monetize your creative genius. So, if you don’t protect these key pieces of your brand, you’re basically leaving the door wide open for someone else to swoop in and take what’s yours. And trust us—you do not want that kind of drama.
Here’s why trademarking your stuff is a must:
Protect Your Brand Identity: Your slogans and logos aren’t just cool design choices; they’re how people recognize you. If you don’t trademark them, someone else could legally claim them, and suddenly, that iconic catchphrase isn’t even yours to use anymore. Harsh, right?
Turn Your Trademark into a Business Asset: A trademark can seriously add value to your brand, especially if you start selling merch or expanding your business. Your logo or slogan could become a huge part of your income stream, and trademarks protect you as your business grows.
Stop Others from Cashing In on Your Work: Without a trademark, other people could use your branding, confusing your fans and potentially taking sales away from you. It’s like someone else cashing in on your hard-earned success. Nope!
Take TikToker Jools Lebron as a real-world example. Her catchphrase, “very demure, very mindful,” blew up, and it seemed like everything was going great—until someone else trademarked it before she could. Oof. Jools had poured so much time into building her brand around this phrase, but without the right protection, she couldn’t do anything about it at first. She was super open about how tough it was, posting on TikTok about how she didn’t have the resources or knowledge to avoid the situation(PinkNews)(indy100).
Thankfully, she’s getting it sorted now with a solid team backing her up, but it’s a major reminder: if you don’t lock down your brand early, someone else might beat you to it. Trademarking from the start saves you from the headaches (and maybe a few sleepless nights) later on.
Bottom line? Protect your brand, protect your future. Trademarks might not sound glamorous, but they’re your brand’s secret weapon.
Step-by-Step Guide to Trademarking Your Work
Ready to make sure no one can steal your brand’s vibe? Let’s go step-by-step so you can trademark your work like a pro. This might sound a little overwhelming, but don’t worry—it’s easy to follow!
Step 1: Do a Trademark Search
Before you get too hyped, you’ve gotta make sure someone else hasn’t already claimed your genius idea. This means doing a trademark search to check if your logo, slogan, or whatever you want to protect is already taken. Head to the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) database and search for any similar trademarks in your field. If you’re outside the U.S., make sure you’re using the right database for your country.
Pro tip: Do this early! You don’t want to spend time building your brand only to find out someone else got there first.
Step 2: Prep and File Your Application
Once you know your brand is all yours, it’s time to file! You’ll need to include the details of what you’re trademarking—whether it’s a logo, slogan, or both—and how you plan to use it (for example, on merch, in branding, etc.).
You’ll also need to pick a “class” for your trademark, which basically means choosing the category that best describes your business or product. There are a bunch of different classes (like clothing, entertainment, etc.), so make sure to choose the one that fits your brand.
Step 3: The Waiting Game (aka Application Review)
Once your application is filed, it goes to the USPTO for review. They’ll check to make sure your trademark meets all the criteria and that it’s not too similar to any existing trademarks. This part can take a while—sometimes months—so be patient!
Step 4: Publication and Opposition
If your application passes the review, it gets published for the world to see. This is when other people have a chance to speak up if they think your trademark is too close to theirs. Don’t stress—oppositions don’t happen too often, but it’s something to be aware of.
Step 5: Trademark Approved!
Congrats—you’ve made it! Once your trademark is approved, you’ll have the exclusive rights to use it in the categories you selected. That means you can slap it on your merch, use it in your branding, and no one else can touch it without your permission.
How to Copyright Your Work
If you’ve created something original, you’re already halfway there when it comes to copyright protection. Let’s walk through the process to make sure your work is fully locked down.
What Can Be Copyrighted?
Basically, any original work you’ve created can be copyrighted—whether it’s a logo design, video content, illustrations, written content, or even music. If you’ve put in the effort to make something new and creative, copyright can protect it.
Step 1: Create Your Work
Good news: copyright protection kicks in automatically the moment you create something and put it out there in a tangible form (like uploading a video or finalizing a design). You don’t need to file for it to get some level of protection, but don’t stop there—filing it officially gives you extra backup in case someone decides to mess with your work.
Step 2: Register Your Copyright (Optional but Highly Recommended)
While copyright protection is automatic, registering it gives you that legal muscle you’ll need if someone copies your work. It’s super helpful if you ever end up in court defending your creations. Here’s how you do it:
Submit an online application with the details of your work, and upload the content you want to protect (this could be a file of your design, a video, a script, etc.).
Pay the filing fee (don’t worry, it’s usually not too expensive).
Step 3: Play the Waiting Game
Once your application is in, the approval process can take a few months. But once you’re registered, your work is fully protected under copyright law, meaning you’ll have a way stronger case if someone tries to copy or steal your stuff.
How Long Does It Take?
When it comes to locking down your creative work, patience is key—these things take time! Here’s what you can expect when going through the trademark or copyright process:
Trademarking: 6-12 Months (ish)
The trademark process isn’t exactly lightning-fast. On average, it takes around 6 to 12 months to get your trademark fully approved. Why the wait? Well, it depends on a few factors:
Complexity of your trademark: If your logo, slogan, or design is super unique, you might breeze through the process. But if it’s similar to something already out there, the reviewing process could take longer.
Oppositions: After your trademark application is published, there’s a window where others can challenge it if they feel it’s too close to theirs. If someone opposes your application, that could slow things down.
Bottom line: trademarking takes time, so get started early to avoid delays messing with your business plans!
Copyrighting: Instant (Kinda)
Good news: your work is automatically copyrighted the second you create it and put it in a tangible form. But if you want to take that extra step and register your copyright (which, let’s be honest, you definitely should), the whole process takes about 3 to 6 months for full registration.
During this time, your work is still protected, but having that official registration gives you way more legal power if someone tries to steal your stuff.
So, while both processes take a bit of time, it’s worth it to protect your creative empire! Just be patient, and your brand will be locked down before you know it.
How Much Does It Cost?
Here’s the rundown on what you’re looking at when it comes to protecting your work:
Trademarking:
USPTO Filing Fees: The cost starts at $250 per class of goods or services if you use the TEAS Plus application and $350 per class for the TEAS Standard application (USPTO).
Additional Costs: If you decide to work with a lawyer (which is often a good idea), that can cost anywhere from $750 to $3,000 depending on the complexity of your case (Counsel for Creators LLP).
Copyrighting:
Basic Filing Fee: In the U.S., the fee to officially register your copyright is about $65 (USPTO) (Counsel for Creators LLP).
These fees can vary slightly in other countries, but this gives you a general idea of what to expect. If you’re ready to lock down your brand, it’s worth considering these costs upfront!
When you officially trademark or copyright your creative work, you’re gaining some powerful rights. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:
What Rights Do You Have After Trademarking or Copyrighting?
For Trademarks:
Exclusive Use: Once your slogan, logo, or brand identifier is trademarked, you have the exclusive right to use it in your specific field. That means no one else can use it without your permission, preventing brand confusion.
Legal Protection: If someone tries to copy or misuse your trademark, you have the right to take legal action. This can involve anything from sending a cease-and-desist letter to suing for damages.
Licensing: You can license your trademark to others, meaning you can allow other businesses or individuals to use your branding in exchange for a fee. This is especially handy for creators who want to expand into merchandising or collaborations.
For Copyrights:
Reproduction Rights: Copyright gives you the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, and display your original work (e.g., designs, videos, artwork). This means you control how and where your work is shared or sold.
Infringement Protection: If someone uses your copyrighted work without your permission, you can take legal action. This might involve suing for damages, getting your work taken down from platforms, or stopping unauthorized use entirely.
Licensing and Selling: Like trademarks, copyrights allow you to license or sell your work to others. You can also earn royalties if your work is used commercially, giving you a continuous revenue stream.
Having these protections ensures that your brand and creativity remain under your control, giving you full ownership of how your work is used and monetized!
What Rules Do You Need to Follow Once Your Work Is Trademarked?
Once you’ve secured a trademark, it’s not just a “set it and forget it” deal. There are a few important rules and guidelines you need to follow to keep your trademark in good standing:
Use It or Lose It: Trademarks must be actively used in commerce. If you stop using your trademark for an extended period (typically three years or more), it could be considered “abandoned,” and you might lose the exclusive rights to it. So, keep your trademark in regular use on your products, services, or branding materials.
Renewals Are a Must: Trademarks in the U.S. need to be renewed. The first renewal happens between the 5th and 6th years after registration (filing a Section 8 Declaration of Continued Use), and then again every 10 years. These renewals require proof that you’re still using the trademark in commerce (USPTO) (USPTO).
Monitor for Infringement: It’s your responsibility to keep an eye out for anyone infringing on your trademark. The USPTO won’t monitor this for you, so you need to be proactive in protecting your rights. If someone uses your trademark without permission, you can (and should) take legal action to enforce your rights.
Maintain Proper Use: Make sure you’re using your trademark consistently and correctly. This means using the exact version of your logo or slogan that you registered. Any major changes might require filing a new trademark application. Also, don’t forget to use the trademark symbol (™) before registration and the ® symbol once it’s officially registered.
At the end of the day, your creative work is your brand, and that brand is your future. As a creator, locking down your intellectual property—whether it’s a slogan, design, logo, or more—shouldn’t be something you put off. Here’s why:
Secure Your Brand’s Future: As your brand grows, your intellectual property (IP) can turn into one of your most valuable assets. Whether you’re launching merch, expanding your online presence, or collaborating with other creators, having the legal rights to your work ensures that no one else can cash in on what you’ve built. Plus, a protected brand is far more attractive to potential partners or buyers.
Take the First Step Today: The longer you wait to protect your IP, the more you risk someone else claiming it first. Copyrighting or trademarking your work early on can save you from the legal mess and stress that comes with trying to reclaim your creations later. Protecting your work upfront is like putting up a fence around your creative empire—it keeps others out and keeps your brand safe.
For Trademarks: Head over to the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) and start the trademark application process here.
For Copyrights: You can register your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office by visiting their site here.
These official resources will guide you through the process, and you’ll be one step closer to locking down your creative assets!
At Amaze, we are redefining the future of creator commerce by providing creators with the tools they need to turn their passions into thriving businesses. With our Spring platform, creators across every industry can seamlessly monetize their content, sell products their fans love, and build meaningful connections with their audiences—all without the traditional barriers to entry.
Our platform makes it easy for creators to launch custom products, grow their personal brands, and unlock new revenue streams, allowing them to focus on what matters most: creating. From fitness enthusiasts building communities to bakers sharing their passion, Spring helps creators bring their ideas to life and turn their influence into income. Here are just a few stories of creators who have used Spring to transform their passions into profitable, purpose-driven businesses.
The Garage Gym Competition
Joe Gray’s journey began with a passion for lifting weights in the comfort of his own garage. That simple love evolved into the Garage Gym Competition, an online powerlifting event that has brought together over 5,000 athletes from around the world. But what sets this competition apart is not just the physical strength it celebrates—it’s the sense of community and impact it creates.
Through his competition, Joe has helped people stay consistent with their fitness goals, meet new friends in the lifting community, and live healthier lives. Beyond that, his initiative has raised more than $12,000 for nonprofits. Joe says, “I’ve been told over and over that my competition has helped people get into lifting, stay consistent, and live happier and healthier lives.”
Now with over 11,000 followers on Instagram, Joe continues to grow his community and influence in the world of powerlifting. Using Spring, Joe has also launched a store featuring products that celebrate the love of weightlifting, allowing his fans to connect even more deeply with the sport they love. His merchandise resonates with the lifting community and has become an extension of the passion that drives the competition.
For the creator behind Bake It Simple, baking wasn’t just a hobby—it was a passion that had been simmering for years. However, living in a small town meant there were few avenues to pursue it professionally. “I’ve always had a passion for baking, but the town that I lived in had no opportunities for me to pursue it as a career,” she shares. That all changed on October 16, 2022, when she decided to take a leap of faith and start her YouTube channel.
Launching Bake It Simple started as a platform to share recipes and quickly evolved into something much bigger—a space for personal growth and self-discovery. “My content made a big difference in my own life. It helped me get over a lot of my insecurities—social anxiety, public speaking, and worrying about what others think of me,” she explains. Beyond that, creating content gave her a new set of skills that she could take into the professional world, opening doors she hadn’t imagined before.
Her journey hit a special milestone when she reached 500 subscribers, an achievement her family celebrated by crafting a homemade YouTube “plaque” from aluminum foil and a cereal box. That moment wasn’t just about numbers; it symbolized the pride and growth that came from turning a lifelong passion into something real. Since then, her YouTube channel has continued to grow and has reached almost 5,000 subscribers.
Thanks to Spring, she’s been able to seamlessly expand her brand by creating a free Bake It Simple store selling products that her fans love. One of the most convenient features she uses is Spring’s YouTube integration, which allows her merchandise to be displayed right beneath her videos. This integration not only makes it easy for her audience to shop directly from her channel, but also captures impulse purchases that she might have missed otherwise. By using Spring, she’s found an effortless way to monetize her content and turn her passion for baking into a growing business.
“I wanted my community to have something tangible that connects them to the joy of baking, just like my videos do,” she says. By combining her content with a carefully curated product line, she’s created a cohesive brand experience that keeps her fans engaged and inspired.
Empowering Creator Commerce with Amaze
These are just a couple of the many creators who have been able to add a new source of revenue to their lives, allowing them to continue pursuing their passions and creating impactful content. With the help of Amaze and Spring, creators are not only connecting deeper with their online communities, but they’re also expanding their brands in meaningful ways.
At Amaze, we’re committed to fueling the future of creator commerce. By providing seamless tools, integrations, and platforms, we empower creators to monetize their influence and earn income while doing what they love. For creators everywhere, the journey to financial independence and brand growth has never been easier.
Fast fashion has become the norm. Cheaply made, mass-produced items are often worn only a handful of times before being discarded. This cycle of disposable fashion not only creates enormous amounts of waste but also fuels global sourcing practices that prioritize low cost over ethical production, driving up carbon emissions and environmental degradation.
The problem extends beyond clothing. Creators who want to offer quality, responsibly sourced products to their communities often face the challenge of balancing cost, sustainability, and accessibility. This conflict is worsened by the environmental toll of global retail—cheap sourcing, long shipping routes, and products that ultimately end up in landfills.
But as consumer awareness grows, sustainability is becoming increasingly important, especially for younger generations. 75% of Gen Z shoppers believe that buying sustainable products is more important than purchasing based on brand name, and 75% of millennials consider sustainability when making purchases. Creators care too, but they often lack the tools to meet these demands without sacrificing profitability or reach.
A Sustainable Solution for Creators and Their Communities
At Amaze, we’re committed to changing the way creators connect with their audiences. It’s not enough to simply offer creators a platform to sell their products; we need to make it smarter and more sustainable. We’re addressing the root issues by reshaping how products are created, sold, and delivered.
Our global expansion isn’t just about reaching more creators and fans—it’s about building smarter, more sustainable connections. By optimizing shipping routes, embracing local production, and reducing product costs, we’re helping creators reach their audiences faster, more efficiently, and with a lower environmental impact. This is how we’re building a sustainable future for creator commerce—where creativity thrives and carbon footprints shrink.
Printing Only What’s Sold and Reducing Waste with Manufacture-on-Demand
One of the biggest contributors to environmental waste is overproduction. In traditional retail models, items are produced in bulk, and unsold products often end up as waste, contributing to landfills. This is a significant challenge for creators who may not have the ability to accurately predict demand but still want to offer products to their fans.
At Amaze, we’ve embraced a manufacture-on-demand model, which is fundamentally more sustainable. Instead of producing large quantities of stock upfront, we only create products when they’re actually sold. This helps reduce waste by 90% and gives creators the freedom to experiment with new ideas without the risk of overproduction. For creators, this means they can sell their products without the fear of items sitting on shelves unsold, and for the environment, it means less waste.
This practice also benefits creators financially. By removing the need for large upfront investments in inventory, creators can test new products without taking on unnecessary risk. They can focus on refining their offerings based on audience demand rather than worrying about unsold stock.
Optimizing Shipping and Cutting Emissions with Local Production
When a fan does buy a product, we’ve set up back-end logistics to make sure it gets to them in the most sustainable way possible. A big change we’ve made to support our global expansion has been our partnership with 25 different fulfillment centers around the world, including in regions like Australia, Europe, the UK, India, and Mexico. These fulfillment centers mean creators can get products to fans faster at a lower cost, but it’s not just speed and affordability we’re after — they also help us cut down on transportation emissions.
The impact is pretty big. In Australia, for example, our new fulfillment center has helped us cut 15,000 kilometers off of our transport distances, which has slashed emissions by 98%. Previously fans had to wait for imports from the US or the EU, which could take anywhere from 9-17 days. Now, if Australian fans order from a creator that uses Amaze, shipping only takes 2-7 days.
Our local fulfillment centers have the added benefit of making products more affordable for fans. Where previously fans would have to pay higher shipping costs or import tax fees, local fulfillment means they can skip these expensive add-ons. In Australia, the local production, fulfillment, and distribution means we’ve been able to cut shipping costs for fans by an average of $8.50. The more affordable shipping means that creators can keep their products accessible.
Sustainable Packaging
We’re also continuously working on improving how we package products. We ship everything out in white-label standard plain poly mailers. We don’t do any individualization, because it creates extra costs, complications, and waste. We’re working hard to minimize, if not eliminate, plastics in our packaging—continuing our commitment to more sustainable production and shipping practices.
Environmentally-Friendly Production The products we help creators bring to life aren’t just sustainable in terms of production—they’re designed to be high-quality items that customers will want to keep and use, rather than throw away after a few wears. Our eco-friendly, water-based, biodegradable inks and sustainably sourced cotton ensure that products are responsibly made. In addition, our production facilities operate with green technology, minimizing pollutants, toxic fumes, and waste
The Path Forward: A Sustainable Future for Creator Commerce
At Amaze, we understand that sustainability is not a one-time fix but an ongoing commitment. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made so far, but we know there’s still more work to do. By embracing sustainable practices like manufacture-on-demand, local fulfillment, and eco-friendly materials, we’re helping creators not only grow their businesses but do so in a way that positively impacts the planet.
Our mission is simple: build a future where creator commerce thrives without compromising the environment. By building smarter, more sustainable connections, we’re ensuring that creators and their communities can continue to create and innovate, all while leaving a smaller footprint.
As the creator economy continues to grow, creators are redefining the way businesses are built. Today, they’re no longer just promoting brands—they’re building their own. At Amaze, we’re at the forefront of this transformation, enabling creators to seamlessly monetize their communities and scale their businesses through ecommerce.
We provide creators with everything they need to succeed—whether it’s selling their own branded products or offering curated items from popular consumer brands. From expanding globally to developing new revenue streams, Amaze is empowering creators to take control of their financial future with ease.
Global Growth: Powering Creator Commerce on a Global Scale
As creators expand their reach beyond borders, ensuring fast, affordable, and sustainable shipping is critical to their success. That’s why Amaze’s global expansion of in-country fulfillment centers is so vital to driving creator-powered commerce. By establishing fulfillment hubs in regions such as Australia, Europe, the UK, India, and Mexico, we enable creators to connect with their global audiences more efficiently than ever before.
This global footprint means creators can now deliver a seamless shopping experience to fans around the world, without the traditional barriers of long shipping times or high costs. In Australia, for instance, our new fulfillment center allows creators’ merchandise to reach fans in under 7 days, a 70% improvement in delivery speed. This quicker, more affordable service not only increases customer satisfaction but also makes creators’ products more accessible and appealing, resulting in more sales and revenue growth.
In addition to these benefits, Amaze’s expansion reduces the environmental impact of long-distance shipping. By cutting 15,000 km off transport distances in Australia alone, we’ve slashed carbon emissions by 98%. This commitment to sustainability not only reflects the values of creators and their audiences but also positions creators as eco-conscious business leaders.
With faster, localized shipping, creators can market their products to fans worldwide with confidence, knowing that their customers will receive their orders quickly and affordably. This enhances the creator-powered commerce model by ensuring that creators’ global communities are supported with the same care and efficiency as local customers.
New Opportunities: Empowering Creators to Expand and Thrive
At Amaze, we understand that creators need a variety of ways to monetize their online communities and grow their brands. Offering new products, tools, and services is key to helping them not just survive, but thrive in the evolving creator economy. The more diverse the opportunities available to creators, the more successful they can be in turning their influence into real income.
One of the key ways we do this is through our custom products team, which helps creators bring their most imaginative ideas to life. From apparel to one-of-a-kind items, creators can develop products that truly resonate with their audiences. For example, social media star Howie the Crab became a household name thanks to his quirky TikTok personality, and through Spring, Howie’s owner was able to launch a custom plushie that captured his charm. This product not only deepened Howie’s connection with fans, but it also led to 20 times more sales in its first week than previous weeks selling standard merchandise.
For creators who aren’t focused on custom products, Spring by Amaze offers a constantly expanding catalog of ready-to-sell items. From custom apparel to digital downloads, Spring provides the tools creators need to offer products that resonate with their audiences. By tailoring their offerings to meet their followers’ preferences, creators can deepen engagement, boost sales, and grow their brand.
The ability to continually evolve and expand their offerings is essential for creators to stay relevant, attract new audiences, and capitalize on their community’s trust. At Amaze, we’re making sure that creators are equipped with everything they need to succeed in the creator-powered commerce landscape.
Strategic Partnerships for Success
A key driver of creator success at Amaze is due to our strategic partnerships, which offer creators more ways to diversify and grow their revenue.
For example, our partnerships with industry leaders Kornit Digital and Cameo have transformed how creators can monetize their influence. Through on-demand production with Kornit, creators can launch products faster and more efficiently, maintaining flexibility in what they offer without the burdens of inventory or overproduction. Meanwhile, our collaboration with Cameo introduces innovative monetization tools that allow creators to leverage their influence in new and engaging ways.
These are only a few of Amaze’s partnerships that not only help creators sell more, but they also help them sell smarter. By simplifying ecommerce and providing powerful tools for product creation and fulfillment, Amaze equips creators to scale their businesses, build sustainable revenue streams, and grow brands that reflect their unique voices and passions.
The Future is Creator-Powered
At Amaze, we envision a future where creators aren’t just part of the commerce ecosystem—they’re leading it. By providing them with the tools, resources, and partnerships they need to succeed, we’re helping them transform their creative passions into sustainable, scalable businesses. The future of commerce is creator-powered, and at Amaze, we’re proud to be at the forefront of this transformation.
As Aaron Day, CEO of Amaze, says, “Creators are building the brands of tomorrow. Our mission is to make that journey as smooth as possible, so they can focus on what they love—creating content and engaging with their community—while we handle the rest.”
For creators, this is just the beginning. Whether it’s through global expansion, new monetization opportunities, or strategic partnerships, Amaze is helping creators turn their influence into income—and, ultimately, into impact.
September 18, 2024 – Amaze Software, Inc., a leader in creator commerce solutions, is bringing the power of entrepreneurship to college campuses with its Spring platform, turning dorm rooms into centers of creativity and business.

More than just a side gig, the ambassador program instills essential skills for the future, fostering leadership, drive, and resilience in participants. As they build confidence, these students are helping spread the message of Spring’s transformative power—showing their peers how creativity can turn into a profitable venture, right from the comfort of a dorm room. Through their influence, these ambassadors are not only changing their own lives but also empowering their classmates to take control of their financial futures, developing a ripple effect of innovation and entrepreneurship across campuses nationwide.
“Spring is empowering a generation of students to take control of their futures,” says Aaron Day, CEO of Amaze. “We believe in the power of young creators and their ability to turn ideas into thriving businesses. With Spring, we’ve made it incredibly easy for students to take that first step toward financial freedom, all while balancing their studies. We’re building the next generation of entrepreneurs, one dorm room at a time.”

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.
