If you like any of the shirts, I made a coupon for HN readers: http://www.shirtstastegood.com/coupons/lXgcYWo4XEQ9fVAq
Love the shirts. Wish you the best of luck.
How about taking it one step further, and giving viral video content creators an affiliate cut in the shirt profits. With Store front widgets, that could be placed anywhere. Transitioning into a platform.
We do sketch comedy, and I could see us using a service like that.
We are working on a viral video incentive program right now!! The store front widget is a great idea, we did not think of that. Do you mean place the video embed and accompanying t-shirt into a widget to be included on blogs etc? That way the content creator has an easy way to spread the t-shirts as well because they get a cut of each sale! Thank you so much for the input!! I love it!
exactly, an embed code that could be placed on blogs, or other sites. It seems like a great angle for everyone.
Those are pretty good! I can definitely see the appeal (which probably means I spend way too much time online).
How tough is the online t-shirt market? It seems like every time something goes even remotely viral, everyone and their dog tries to sell t-shirts. Do you even see random websites and opportunists as real competition (do they actually sell much?), or does your competition consist mainly of the other large t-shirt sites?
Thanks! There are a ton of t-shirts out there made from viral videos, but they are really scattered throughout the net. The biggest provider would be zazzle, but the designs are generally not created by graphic designers. We want to become the definitive place to look for high quality youtube inspired t-shirts.
Great idea, good artwork!
Minor amateur opinion: the artwork seems too large on the shirts / too overstated.
Thanks! We appreciate every bit of constructive criticism. We did make the artwork for a few shirts deliberately big. For example, we wanted We'll Do it Live to really be in your face just like good old Bill. Or do you think we are too bold with all of the shirts? Thanks again for the input Adam!
I'm in nyc and I would love to hear any feedback! Thanks.
