Pricing for custom products is based on three things – the product, the design, and the quantity. At You Design It, it is very easy to get the exact pricing based on those three requirements when creating custom t-shirts in the online t-shirt designer or design studio. Here are the three easy steps:

1. Pick your custom product
2. Create your design
3. Enter in the quantity in our real-time pricing tool

It truly is as easy as 1-2-3! Here is a screenshot of our real-time pricing tool:

Having your construction and home improvement crew wearing your company name and logo on their work t-shirts is a great way to advertise. They look uniform and are easy to spot on the job site by those that need to identify your workers. This customer of ours created custom t-shirts on the site and they use them of easy reminders to their customer of who they are while they are doing a great job of tiling and flooring. This branding tactic is a great one for when their customer is giving a referral or wants to contact them again for more work.

Here they are in their clear and simple design of their printed construction shirts:

We have mentioned before that we do artwork in our spare time because we are trying to collect many t-shirt templates for you to mix and match on your printed t-shirts. All of our t-shirt designs are free to use and you can change them up as much as you want to. We just want to print t-shirts and other products when you do it! Here is a simple one that we designed the other day as part of the library that we are going to be unveiling soon. We are pumped about it and hope you like it!

Like we said, these are simple pieces that you could use to add artwork to or put your text on. There will be much more to come….

Last week was one heck of a week. We got the opportunity to travel to Miami and check out the Future of Web Apps conference put on by the crew of Carsonified. The trip had been planned for some time but it was becoming increasingly tougher to look forward to because our sales in the last two weeks have been blowing up. We wanted to stay and enjoy the current good fortune but also knew the importance of seeing what the future holds at the conference.

Nevertheless, we thought it would be fun to create some gifts for the whole team at Carsonified. Ryan Carson, the head honcho at Carsonified, is known for wearing a particular style of hat. Here is a pic of Ryan wearing his lid:

There are very few vendors in our industry that make that style of hat because it’s not made real well for embroidery. We found one that we could work with if we turned our embroidery machines down real slow and only ran one hat at a time. We added the Carsonified logo to all eight of them and they came out great:

Now what happened next is the real funny part. I gave the hats to Mel Kirk of Carsonified at the conference during lunch and she wanted to go show Ryan. We went and showed him while he was talking to Kevin Rose of Digg and they joked about wearing them during the next panel. That is exactly what happened as you can see here with this group of Web all-stars:

The guys and girl listed in order are Ryan Carson of Carsonified, Erick Schonfeld of TechCrunch, Blaine Cook of Twitter, Kevin McHale of Wufoo, Leah Culver of Pownce, Alex Bard of Goowy, Gary Vaynerchuk from WineLibrary.tv, Kevin Rose from Digg, Carlos Garcia from Scrapblog, Cal Henderson of Flickr, and Matt Mullenweg from WordPress (this is a WordPress blog!).

Miami was awesome, the FOWA conference was great and we’ll definitely be going back. We are glad to be back in the saddle though and looking forward to the future at You Design It.

Sometimes keeping it simple is the best way to get noticed. We had the honor of printing t-shirts for a church that had a mission trip in Puerto Rico. They needed simple printed t-shirts that would identify their group as they were spreading their message. They kept it simple and kept their costs low by staying with a one-color print:
