  • The premium finish is everything. These products make the best surface for printing your designs.

AS Colour have partnered with Cotton Australia, an organization with the goal of becoming the most socially and environmentally responsible production group in the global cotton industry.  Together, they’re looking for new ways to increase water productivity and reduce the use of pesticides during the cultivation and harvesting process. Learn more about the efforts AS Colour are making to ensure their production stays ethical here.

Social duty

Not only can you feel confident about the outstanding quality of these products, but also feel comfortable knowing they are sourced responsibly. AS Colour undergo a thorough review process before selecting partners throughout their supply chain.

AS Colour hold themselves responsible for the safety and treatment of every worker involved. Check out more about their Code of Conduct. Another element that makes us proud to partner with AS Colour is their ‘Better Cotton’ initiative. Other steps ethical steps AS Colour take: 

  • Improving livelihoods and economic development in cotton producing areas
  • Reduction of the environmental impact of cotton production

How iOS 14 will impact advertising your products on Facebook

Apple’s iOS update will significantly impact the way creators track advertisements on Facebook. Continue reading to find out how connecting a custom domain will allow you to continue using your Meta pixel (Facebook pixel).

Apple’s upcoming iOS 14 update will moderate the amount of data iPhone apps can collect, restricting advertising on all social media platforms. If you’re a creator that advertises using the Meta pixel, you will be affected by this update. iOS 14 is expected to roll out in early Spring. For that reason, we’re encouraging you to start preparing.

Facebook receives and processes conversion events and other optimization goals from tools like the Meta pixel. Creators who have set up the pixel previously within the Spring dashboard will need to take note of the following changes.

Visit your dashboard now to connect or purchase a custom domain. Then follow the steps outlined below to verify it on Facebook.

Please note: you must connect or purchase a custom domain for your Spring store in order to sell products through Facebook ads.

My store

One pixel per domain

The biggest change this update is bringing is the fact that Facebook will only allow one tracking pixel per domain. If your store has not been connected with a custom domain, it will stop collecting valuable sales conversion data. Now you’ve been upgraded to a custom store, you’ll be able to purchase or connect a custom domain. 

Again, you must add a custom domain to your store and verify it with Facebook in order to continue using your tracking pixel.

Custom domains

Verifying your domain with Facebook

You need to verify your Meta pixel for it to fire on your Spring store(s). Please see the options below for verifying your pixel.

Spring hosted domains

You are able to verify Spring hosted domains with Facebook directly within your Spring dashboard. Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the stores section of your account.
  2. Click the 3 dots next to your custom domain and select “Facebook domain verification”.
  3. Enter your TXT record found within your Facebook business manager and click “Update”.
  4. After a few hours, navigate back to the Facebook business manager page where you found your TXT record and click “Verify”. 

Once verified you can select your 8 conversion tracking events for the pixel, see the Aggregated Event Measurement section here to learn more on how to do this.  

3rd party domains

To verify a domain purchased through a 3rd party site (like GoDaddy) you’ll need to verify your domain on Facebook through your custom domain’s DNS settings. Please refer to your hosting site for more information on how to do this. Once verified you can select your 8 conversion tracking events for the pixel, see Aggregated Event Measurement section here to learn more.

Spring brings creators fully branded custom stores

Introducing fully customizable creator branded stores and custom domains. We’re working to get every creator on the platform set up with a custom store to host all their products, seamlessly connecting their social channels. 

Connect or purchase a custom domain 

Custom domains are another way to give your community a flawless experience while browsing products. This new feature bumps up your rankings on search engines, making it easy for fans to find your store, as well as revisit it. Plus, having a unique domain encourages trust. 

Consistency is key—your brand is already ‘legit’, but a custom store URL allows you to really start owning an online space you can be proud of. Making a lasting impression for every single fan that lands on your store is crucial, creating pathways from your social platforms. 

Connect a custom domain

Your sleek, customizable social store 

Custom stores give you the ability to make your store personal to you and recognizably ‘yours’.

Don’t miss the YouTube X Teespring livestream event kicking off on Cyber Weekend

On Cyber Weekend next week, Teespring is teaming up with YouTube to offer you livestream shopping for your fans. Between the 27th-30th November, this interactive event gives creators the perfect opportunity to maximize their reach and connect with communities globally. As we move even further into the virtual world and with the arrival of digital products, Cyber Weekend is set to be HUGE this year. 

An event you won’t want to miss…

Take this moment to really push promotion of your new, groundbreaking digital products. Shout about the fact your fans can download instantly without leaving the stream, and triggered alerts in-chat for every purchase allow you to give shout-outs 😏 

  • Live merch alerts give you the chance to connect with your fans in real time. That said, 74% of followers online say they’re more likely to purchase and download a digital product by watching a video.
  • With global lockdowns still prevalent, your community will have time to support, watch live, and shop.
  • Livestreaming virtually replicates the real-life shopping experience fans would get walking around shops.
  • Grow your community—creators that plan to host livestreams with the shopping feature over Cyber Weekend are Marble Runs (1M subscribers) and TagBackTV (800K) among many other huge creators.
Free assets to announce sales on socials

Your livestreaming Cyber Weekend timeline

To take part in this event and use live merch alerts, you’ll need to set up the Teespring x YouTube merch shelf integration first. Find out how and apply if you’re eligible here. Not to worry if you haven’t got access yet, you can still kill it with sales and promotions via your livestream using the strategies below. 

  • Black Friday—while your fans are excited and raring to go, plan a physical merch drop on Black Friday and announce a discount code especially for those who tune into your stream to use on their purchases over the weekend. Remind fans about your shipping cut-off dates if they’d like to receive their products by Christmas. NOW really is their time to get their orders in! 
  • Cyber Monday—the clue is in the ‘cyber’. It’s digital product time. Keep your sales going and introduce another exclusive discount code for livestream followers and get them hyped over your brand new digital content. No shipping cut off dates to worry about here, or waiting at all for that matter. Fans can download and start using. 
  • Giving Tuesday—because you should also use peak sales period to give back. Set up a charitable donation through your merch sales on Giving Tuesday. Pick your favourite charity, making sure your fans know that a proportion of each sale will be going to a good cause.

Head to your dashboard to set up your Cyber Weekend promo-codes or check out the blog with more guidance on how to get the most out of your sales this year.
