\"It\u2019s<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It might be Groundhog Day, but it doesn\u2019t have to feel that way in your Spreadshop<\/a>. There are plenty of ways to break out of your daily routine and change up your shop.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a little guy named Phil, we\u2019ve got 6 more weeks of winter to look forward to. That doesn\u2019t mean you can’t have spring on the brain. The changing of seasons is the perfect time to refresh your shop with new designs and products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to try something new! Your customers want to see you change things up and take creative chances. Your favorite furry pal Phil is here to help!<\/span><\/p>\n

get out of your hole<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pop Up For Air<\/h2>\n

When you\u2019ve been doing the same routine for so long it can be difficult to see options outside of that. It\u2019s important to get a new perspective. You should want to make changes and keep your Spreadshop<\/a> exciting for returning customers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe you have social accounts and have been posting consistently on them, but you\u2019re still not finding your audience. Try <\/span>targeted ads<\/a><\/strong> that can put you in touch with your niche. You don\u2019t have to spend a lot of money, either. You set the price and other stats in the ad. <\/span>If you feel like your design skills are impacting the quality of your merch, there\u2019s plenty of FREE and pay-to-play <\/span>design tools<\/strong><\/span><\/a> that aren\u2019t Photoshop. You don\u2019t need to be a pro-level designer to get quality designs that your customers will love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Try something new this year that takes you out of the Groundhog Day loop you\u2019re in. If it doesn\u2019t work out how you want, it will still be a learning experience that\u2019s\u00a0 beneficial for your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

plan for spring<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Planning For Spring<\/h2>\n

We know, Phil said we\u2019ve still got some snowy days to look forward to. But spring is the perfect time to update your shop. Send those hoodies and sweatshirts to the back of your site and put tank tops and water bottles front and center.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to rush out spring-themed designs, we have some <\/span>merch hacks<\/a><\/strong> that can speed up the process. You can keep it simple with bright or pastel color schemes. Put a springtime spin on some of your older designs, too. <\/span>Spreadshop<\/a> has products that are staples for the spring.<\/span><\/p>\n

We also have new products launching every month, like this <\/span>organic hoodie<\/a><\/strong> that went live last week. Keep your eyes on your blog for these updates!<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Grow From Your Mistakes<\/picture><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Grow From Your Mistakes<\/h2>\n

While it\u2019s important to grow and expand your Spreadshop, you also need to address the mistakes you made in the past. We\u2019re not talking about earth-shattering mistakes, just things you could have taken into consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, ignoring feedback from your customers doesn\u2019t look good for you or your shop. Sure, you built your brand, but you can\u2019t have all the answers or always do the right thing. If designs you made aren\u2019t selling well, maybe that\u2019s on you – not your customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Show appreciation<\/a><\/strong> for your customers by hosting giveaways and asking for their input on designs. Run polls on your socials or ask fans to create their own designs. This is going to create more conversation around your merch, which is what you want. <\/span>Showing appreciation for your customers is essential to growing your merch brand and building meaningful relationships. You can thank Phil for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Groundhog Day shouldn\u2019t be a thing that\u2019s happening with your Spreadshop<\/a>. It\u2019s important to change it up, and we hope we inspired you with some ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n
