Been recommending Startup Threads to any and everyone for awhile. @FrankDenbow and team are solid!
We use Startup Threads @Mailjet for our t-shirts, great service. Really think they're onto something with automating delight!
Love Startup Threads. The API is one of those solutions that just makes you go "Holy shit, this makes so much sense."
Frank is a BEAST!
Will be using this to order and deliver (on demand) shirts to our street team and VIP users. Very cool!
@roryreiff Awesome, let me know if you want some design help / ideas on the right shirts to use.
Frank rocks. I always order our t-shirts from him. Great quality and awesome customer service.
Hi @FrankDenbow. Do you provide tear away tag shirts or inside screenprinting for custom labels?
I'm asking because we currently have some designs with this and I'd really love to try your service out. I couldn't find any product specifications that spoke to this on your site.
But the service looks awesome, the price point is great, and the API is slick.
@markgustav Hey Mark! Shoot me a note frank @startupthreads and we can discuss.
Echoing all of the love given to @FrankDenbow before me. Great product & even better person behind the wheel! I'll be in touch soon for some swag for the @kanvas team :)
We always use Startup Threads for our Startup Weekend events here in NYC! Frank has never let us down.
@averyj Old school customer! Thanks James, send me over that team pic when you get a chance
@FrankDenbow Really great concept man! Now I need to find a reason to try this out :)
Met Frank at SXSW handing out his swag in the street - great guy, lovely t-shirts, great hustle!
@batmelon good to hear Mariano! Lets chat about the colors you want to use on the next one.
@juanpablosarmi Hey Juan! Right now we are focused on tshirts, hoodies (zip & pullover), track jackets, v-necks and tank tops. What are you looking for? Email me and I may be able to point you in the right direction frank @startupthreads
This looks great. I especially like the ability to provide a giveaway link to fans to order their own. No more back and forth on email and the always awkward "what size t-shirt do you wear?"
@deemanator Exactly! The other thing there is we do address verification, as I have seen many shirts go missing and not get delivered because of typos (one time I had to go to the UPS store to beg them to let me pick up a package for a client that had half of a home address and half of the business address). Would love any other feedback / thoughts on things you may need.
Founder here, would love to talk tshirts and answer any questions you have about the service!
We built this because after speaking with tons of companies, we realized they wanted to create a strategy behind their promotional items (tshirts, hoodies and jackets mostly). They needed a way to effectively manage their inventory instead of having a box of shirts in the office or having to lug boxes through airport security when heading to an event.
Startup Threads was created to help companies ship their custom apparel wherever they would like, whether its tshirts to every new paid customer, a gift to a new lead that has gone cold, or a hoodie to a new employee. We hold items in inventory for you so you get the cost savings of buying in bulk with the flexibility to ship on demand. There are dashboard, giveaway, and API tools help you in the distribution process.
Hope its helpful to some of you!
@FrankDenbow What are your thoughts on how this compares to Scalable Press (Shirts.io)?
@jjeremycai Great question. We see ourselves as a marketing tool vs a way to print tshirts. The giveaway system (you can give an item to a customer without having to know their size or address) & dashboard (for creating packages to be sent to various locations / clients) are both pieces we built for marketers who want to use merchandise to market themselves and spread their brand. We are hands on in the design process as well since not every company knows what designs will work for their audience (we have seen hundreds).
We warehouse items in inventory, so you get the cost savings of buying in bulk, along with the shipping flexibility.
Lastly we stick to screen printing only since we believe it provides the best quality.
@FrankDenbow kinda wish I could browse all the shirts people offer from you. I'm the kinda nerd who would consider buying a Foursquare or etc tee :)
@ZacDavies We actually used to have a subscription so you could get them. I am the same way! May revive it in the future
Was a big fan of Startup Threads Monthly. Even bigger fan of this new direction @FrankDenbow is taking things. Really tackles an issue that arose in every SWAG situation.
@zaccoffman Zac! I do miss the subscription, hopefully we can bring it back to life.
