Introducing one of our newest clients, Rogue American Apparel.

Founded two years ago by a former Marine, Rogue sells exquisitely designed apparel for “the elite Military, High Threat Security Professionals & Law Enforcement” communities among others.  Given such clientele labor under the specter of continuous threat, it’s no surprise that Rogue’s styles feature skulls, crossbones and other grim reaperish motifs. Yet Rogue’s designs don’t make death into an end, it’s merely a potential means to the greater end of Liberty itself.  Harm’s way is the journey, with Freedom the destination.

Not only do they celebrate those who live in harm’s way for others, they also donate a portion of all their profits to the Brothers In Arms Foundation.

Rogue’s the real McCoy and we are proud to call them a client.  Check their store out for yourself and pick up one of their many fantastic designs.

Amplifier All Hands Meeting

All Hands Meeting

Yesterday, March 27th, we held an all hands meeting at Amplifier. During yesterday’s all hands meeting, Everyone ate huge, ridiculous, almost debilitating portions of Rudy’s BBQ.  Pretty cruel when you consider that after the meeting everyone had to go back to work instead of take a nap.

We surprised the crew by handing out embroidered Red Kap workshirts. (If you don’t know Red Kap, they make some of the best work wear in the business.)  We thought it would be cool to color code our teams by their department. Do so enables visitors to instantly grasp what’s happening in the often raging sea of activity on a typical day.

Merchify Launches from Beta with HUGE Update! Keep Reading.

Our 3 Most Requested Features in 1 Update!

image

During our Beta period, users gave us terrific suggestions. Great minds must think alike.  Most of you told us very similar things.  Here’s what you asked for:

  1. Women’s Tees - This was hands down the biggest request. Unisex blanks just weren’t cutting it. You can now add designs using the American Apparel 2102, the most popular Women’s Tee that they sell.
  2. A “Value Tee” Option - Some of you wanted a more traditional shirt style and a less expensive shirt. You got it!  Now you can create shirts on the well known, classic-fit Gildan Tee. And yes ladies, our Value Tees are available in Men’s AND Women’s cuts (2000 & 5000L.) 
  3. Add Multiple Colors at Once - You now can create up to 12 different colors at once! Just click to turn on/off every color swatch you want to sell. If you want to preview them, simply click the color swatch under the preview area. We’ll also create thumbnails for each color and push them all to your store.

Last but not least, we lowered our prices on American Apparel tees!  White Tees now start at $16 instead of $19! Color American Apparel tees are cheaper too! Hey, we did tell prices were subject to change. Every once in a while, that’s a good thing!  Existing Merchify users can check out the newest features here. 

Don’t have Merchify yet? No problem, it’s free for all Shopify users to install.  Not yet a Shopify user?  Get a free 14-day trial here. It’s the easiest way in the world to start selling made-on-demand products from your very own online store.

Rooster Teeth’s Burnie Burns joins Kevin Smith, Lisa Kudrow and others to discuss the Future of TV.  The thing is, Burnie and his wicked crew don’t need to speculate on where the Internet is going in the future.  They are BRINGING THE FUTURE into the now.  If you have ANY interest at all in where Internet, community and original content is going, you need to study every word that rapidly fires out of Burnie Burns’ mouth. 

Filmmaker Kevin Smith (Clerks, Chasing Amy, etc.) summed up Rooster Teeth’s amazing accomplishment like this. “You’re my hero man, your generation is doing what we dreamed about doing… We’re like ‘We want to be independent!’ but we weren’t, ultimately we sold out.  You guys truly are independent, and you’re doing it from a great place, like, ‘this is what we love to do.’ You’re like, ‘I could wait for somebody else to give us some loot or I could build what I want over here.”

Another highlight of our recent trip to New York was meeting the team behind Maker’s Row. We visited with Matthew Burnett (left) and Tanya Menendez (right) along with designer Scott Weiner (not shown but he rocks similar mojo.) 
So here’s the idea.
Offshoring your manufacturing once presented a nearly irresistible temptation. Hundreds of thousands of jobs have been lost in the last two decades to this option.  US Companies thought they’d save a fortune by leveraging the cheap cost of labor in developing economies.  For a while, it worked.  But in many ways this trend now seems played out.  Rising overseas labor rates coupled with increasing fuel costs have greatly reduced the savings of outsourcing. And when one factors the reduced flexibility and inescapably slow shipping time involved in transoceanic delivery, domestic manufacturing suddenly looks a lot more compelling.
But there remains a problem. While the spirit may be willing to buy from American factories, the flesh often has a hard time finding them. Many possess amazing, proprietary production capabilities and generations of experience, they simply lack Internet-era marketing savvy. 
That’s where Maker’s Row steps in. 
They’re making it unbelievably easy to find even highly specialized makers in the good old United States of America. Search by all manner of capabilities such as Pattern-Makers, Toolers, even Ideation. Want to make a belt? Check out Universal Elliot. Custom handbags?  How about Manolucci Handbag Factory.  Wooden buttons you say?  No problem, try Buttonwood Corp.  The possibilities seem limitless.
They say nothing is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.  And speaking as a company who routinely procures all manner of compelling merchandise, we can say that time to look at US production is now.
Congrats and thanks to Maker’s Row for shining a light on our fellow American makers.
