Your Spreadshop start page is ready to go, giving you the possibility to welcome your customers to your Shop with a customized start page that\u2019s totally down their alley.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A start page gives you the possibility to adjust the look and feel of your shop to align with your target group. Developing your brand and Shop will now be even more advantageous, as everything will be more attractive for your customers. You\u2019ll have a variety of options at hand to customize, activate and deactivate. When in doubt, just use one of our pre-set options and text modules. After clicking to edit your Shop in the Sales Channels section, you can find these options in the Page Settings. You can get a first overview in this video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Create Your Start Page on Spreadshop\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KDPlFutscs4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Your Start Page Explained <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The start page is a perfect figurehead to arouse your customers\u2019 curiosity. The <strong>teaser<\/strong> gives you the chance to reveal more about yourself. Use a fitting headline and background image to make your customers want more. Customize the call-to-action button to lead them straight to a product category that you can choose.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>It<\/strong><strong>\u2019s like a Spreadshop Shop Window<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>product preview<\/strong> is your shop window. Here you can put your goods on display. The best part is the ability to freely arrange and sort the displayed products \u2013 as long as you have at least 5 products in your Shop (Page Settings &gt; Product List Page &gt; Arrange items). This option comes in handy when catering to seasonal demands (think holidays), as you can customize headlines and buttons to provide a targeted incentive for your customers to buy.<\/p>\n<p>With the <strong>topics<\/strong> option, you can now arrange your designs and present your offer in its full thematically diverse range. This makes your Shop more accessible so that your customers can quickly find what they are looking for. You can decide for yourself whether you want to make use of this option.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Making a Difference<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Getting the word out about your brand and your Shop is the be-all and end-all of your biz. In the <strong>About the Shop<\/strong> section, you can let the world know more about yourself, your team or what\u2019s close to your heart. Set further visual accents by uploading a picture that suits your agenda.<\/p>\n<p>To evoke trust and let everyone know that they\u2019re in good hands, display the <strong>Trust Elements<\/strong> in your Shop. It&#8217;ll lay down a marker of trust that Spreadshirt is a strong partner at your side who takes care of the printing and shipping of your products.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What Else is Important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Please note that the start page is initially only offered in one language at a time and that its contents are not translated. Of course, we know that this is quite important if you run your Shop in different languages. \u201cCan\u2019t you fix that?\u201d, you may rightly ask \u2013 and we\u2019re trying to sort it out as we speak.<\/p>\n<p>With the launch of the start page, we\u2019ll be reworking the complete header area in the Spreadshop within the next few weeks. The old header graphic will be replaced by a smaller area where you can set up your logo (among other things).<\/p>\n<p><em>We are very happy to have launched this great new feature.
