Spring Your Ideas to Life with Custom Products! 

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!

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.

Just Added: T-Shirts from Leading Apparel Names Your Fans Will Love!

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.

Comfort Colors 1717 | Classic Heavyweight T-Shirt

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.
