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.

Amaze Unveils Store Drop: Seamlessly Integrate Your Spring Store with Your Website in One Click!

June 20, 2024Amaze, an all-in-one, end-to-end creator commerce solution is thrilled to unveil Store Drop—a groundbreaking feature designed to seamlessly integrate any Spring store anywhere that supports HTML with just one click. Store Drop empowers creators to effortlessly showcase their products across multiple digital landscapes, maximizing their reach and boosting sales without any technical skills required.

For too long, creators have faced the limitations of single-platform selling, struggling to reach new fans and maximize earnings. This uphill battle has stifled growth, creativity, and the freedom to fully capitalize on their talents. Store drop changes the game, enabling creators to integrate their stores across various channels, including social media platforms like YouTube and TikTok, as well as personal websites and beyond.

“Our mission has always been to empower creators to reach their fullest potential,” says Aaron Day, CEO of Amaze. “With the addition of Store Drop on the Spring by Amaze platform, we’re giving creators the freedom to expand their reach and connect with their audience in ways they never thought possible. This is the beginning of a new era in digital commerce, and we’re excited to see how our creators will thrive with this powerful tool.”

The transformation that Store Drop brings is about more than expanding reach and increasing  sales; it is about freedom. Creators gain the freedom to innovate, connect, and strengthen their communities. Their products are no longer confined to one place—they are everywhere their followers are, which allows them to strengthen the connection with their community.

Before Store Drop:

  • Limited Reach: Products confined to a single platform.
  • Restricted Sales: Traffic and orders limited to one spot.
  • Audience Engagement: High engagement through content, but limited interaction outside.

After Store Drop

  • Expanded Reach: Stores now accessible across multiple platforms, reaching communities wherever they are.
  • Boosted Sales: Orders flowing in from every corner of the internet.
  • Enhanced Engagement: Strengthened connection with audiences through both content and products.

It’s time to say goodbye to limitations and hello to endless possibilities. With Store Drop, your digital world becomes a playground of opportunity. Drop your store like it’s hot and watch it thrive on every spot.

Amaze’s year-end celebration: A toast to our creator’s successes!

This year marked a period of major growth and transformation, not only for Amaze but for the remarkable creators we’ve teamed up with. From expanding our product catalog to witnessing powerful creator success stories, we’ve seen how Amaze isn’t just a collection of platforms – it’s a powerhouse for monetization and brand development in the creator community.

As we flip the script to 2024, let’s look back on the key milestones, the success stories, and the remarkable developments that made 2023 a memorable year.

New partnerships to enhance earnings

In our continuous effort to facilitate increased revenue for creators, this year, we intensified our efforts to streamline the process of selling merchandise through our Spring by Amaze platform. We are proud to announce some strategic collaborations that have contributed significantly to this goal.

Spring x TikTok

Our partnership with TikTok has transformed creators’ videos into profitable ventures. With this integration, showcasing Spring merchandise seamlessly on TikTok profiles, videos, and livestreams has become more effective, turning each account into a lucrative storefront. More information on this integration can be found  here.

Beacons.ai + Spring

We have also collaborated with Beacons.ai, further expanding earning opportunities. Creators can now integrate their Spring Store URL into their Beacons link in bio, providing direct access for fans to shop Spring merchandise. This feature is available for free here

Highlighting creator achievements 

Amaze has played a pivotal role in the lives of millions of creators, significantly boosting their income through simple yet effective product launches and promotions. We are continually inspired and honored by the numerous success stories shared with us throughout the year.

We value our incredible creators immensely, and while there are countless success stories to share, here are a few highlights from 2023.

Jimmy and Clarence

The social media sensation Jimmy and his black labrador, Clarence, have experienced major wins this year. Their successful Black Friday sales challenge resulted in over 1,000 units from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, thanks in part to a highly engaging video. View Jimmy and Clarence’s Video here

Danae Hays

Danae Hays achieved remarkable success with her merchandise launch in November, selling over 125 units within the first 48 hours. She used her content to drive a merch strategy that her fans were excited to see and purchase. Explore Danae’s Instagram Post for more insight.

Alex Kidd

Alex’s journey is a remarkable tale of resilience and the strength of community. Battling multiple cancer diagnoses since May 2022, Alex made the decision to relaunch an old design to fund his treatment and support his family’s needs in these tough times. The overwhelming sales he’s experienced since his relaunch this month are not just transactions but a powerful demonstration of communal support and the kindness inherent in humanity.

These stories provide just a snapshot of how Amaze unlocks new revenue opportunities for creators, aiding them in establishing and expanding their brands. Through these experiences, we see time and time again that Amaze is more than a platform; it’s a catalyst for entrepreneurial growth and personal success.

A year of transformation

In 2023, we significantly upgraded our Spring by Amaze platform to focus on simplifying sales and enhancing creator success for our expansive community of over 11 million creators. 

A key strategy in achieving this was through the improvement of our social integrations. Creators utilizing Spring’s social tools have experienced a substantial increase in sales, being 11 times more likely to close a sale and tripling their earnings compared to those not using these features.

Key Social Integration Enhancements:

  • Introduction of TikTok and Beacons integrations for streamlined in-app selling.
  • Enhanced YouTube integration to tag Spring products in videos, shorts, and live streams.
  • For Twitch users, a revamped Twitch integration launching in January will provide an interactive shopping experience directly from channels.

Further Developments:

  • Improved order fulfillment efficiency and reliability.
  • Expansion of our reach with new fulfillment centers in Mexico.
  • Launch of “Custom Collections” for better product categorization.
  • Simplification of custom product request processes.
  • Modernization of our Subscriptions page.

  1. Classic Crew Neck Comfortsoft T-Shirt

  4. Comfort Tee 
  5. Die Cut Sticker 
  6. Premium Pullover Hoodie

  • Adjustments in EU catalog pricing, reducing base costs and retail prices while maintaining creator margins.
  • Diversification of production partners for a more reliable supply chain, particularly for stickers, posters, home products, and more.

Looking ahead to 2024

This year has been unforgettable. We’re in awe of how many lives have been changed by being able to easily monetize their content. We are profoundly grateful to have played a role in the journey of so many creators, contributing to their growth and the diversification of their revenue sources.

As we turn our sights to 2024, our dedication to empowering creators reaches new heights. Anticipate a range of exciting new products, impactful partnerships, enhanced integrations, and a host of other innovations.

Tips for Creating Best Selling Pride Merch

We’re holding our first annual Pride Design Challenge—with prizes awarded to the best-designed Pride merch. 

Here’s the lowdown:

  • Contest is open to all creators—anyone can participate!
  • Challenge runs from 5/10 – 5/31 (winner announced 5/31)
  • Winner is chosen from a panel of our professional designers
  • Must use the word “Pride” in your product titles 
  • Prizes include:

Launch products that celebrate Pride Month to be eligible to compete and boost sales. [Stat amount] of Pride merch was bought last year!

Now let’s talk merch design! Pride Month is right around the corner. Here’s a refresher on tips for creating designs your fans will love:

  • Cater your message to your fans’ interests. “Pride Month” is a broad category. Which messaging will resonate with your fans, specifically? What is in line with your brand voice? You’ll want to have visuals and slogans that will speak to your fans’ interests. To determine what that is, interact with them directly on your socials, either through polls or by asking feedback in the comments––it helps build a relationship and makes fans feel like they helped create the merch that they are going to eventually buy.
  •  Get Inspired! This is the fun part! After determining your message, it’s time to execute. Check out our pride shop for inspiration and ideas. If you’re having “designer’s block,” you can find a designer to create for you. For top-quality designs that are affordable, check out the professional design services being offered exclusively to Spring creators.[link] Be sure to explain what you want in a clear way and provide as many details as possible (such as your aesthetic, preferred font style, color scheme, etc). 
  • Choose the products that will best showcase your design. Once your designs are finalized, you’ll need to place them on products! What will look good? Is your design big and bold, best for a t-shirt or hoodie? Or is it small and simple and best for a hat or tumbler? Lastly, which products will actually be useful to your fans during Pride Month? Tees and pendants are great for events and marches. Spring has an expanded catalog of products for you to choose from! Be sure to order a sample, so you can see the product the way your customers will and then you can use that sample to promote your merch to your fans in social content. 
  • Start selling! Creating and selling merch is the key to creator success and with Spring, these steps are easy. If you want tips on how to generate more sales, check out our blog on creating and selling merch

Give your fans merch that showcases their Pride. When your brand is in line with their values, customers become loyal fans that generate revenue for you while spreading the word about your brand. 

Let’s get this Pride Design Challenge started!

Team Growth 

To provide faster response times, improved resolutions, and a better fan experience, we’ve doubled our Creator Success and Support teams. In addition, we also added some incredible members to our Marketing and Merchandising teams, which will result in new creator tools, design and merchandising inspiration, and opportunities for our Spring creators!
