T-Shirtmonster In the Financial Post

admin — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 22:49:04 +0000

We were very excited to learn from our friends at Breast Cancer Society of Canada that an article was written about us in the Financial Post Small Business Section! Here’s an blurb about us, written by National Post’s Rick Spence:

“In Oakville, Ont., T-Shirtmonster combines online technology with client-first focus. In addition to selling customized T-shirts to sports teams and community groups, the company enables consumers and organizations to open virtual storefronts to sell their own branded apparel.

“We are the only company in Canada that prints and fulfills T-shirt orders in-house, on demand, and provides free store-hosting and online sales reports clients can view 24/7,” says Roland Mackintosh, president and co-founder of the company.

The Breast Cancer Society of Canada opened a store on T-Shirtmonster.cato sell shirts to supporters across the country for its annual fundraising event, “Dress Down Day.” The society “loved the fact they didn’t have to take on inventory or worry about order fulfillment or customer service,” Mackintosh says. Supporters can even personalize their shirts. One design, for instance, simply says, “I wear pink for my,” and invites you to complete the message by adding a name or photo.

Making things fun and easy for customers offers powerful payback, Mackintosh says: “If we hadn’t impressed BCSC, we would have missed a major opportunity for their supporters to become regular customers of our own.”

VTN Maple Leaf Chapter Teams up with T-Shirtmonster to Raise Money for the Breast Cancer Society of Canada

admin — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:38:36 +0000

As many of you know, T-Shirtmonster proudly supports Breast Cancer Society of Canada! We’ve included a press release from a company using our site to also raise money for Breast Cancer Society of Canada. If you (or anyone you know) would like to get involved in fundraising for breast cancer research, please let us know. Here’s the press release:

“Members of the VentureTech Network Maple Leaf Chapter organize new “Clicks for the Cure” fundraiser – Seeks support of the North American IT Community
________________________________________
Vaughn, Ontario, March X, 2010 – Ingram Micro’s VentureTech Network (VTN) Maple Leaf Chapter today announced a new charitable fundraising campaign to support the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. Clicks for the Cure is a not-for-profit fundraiser organized by the VTN Maple Leaf Chapter and supported by Ingram Micro Canada, the Breast Cancer Society of Canada and T-Shirtmonster.

In December 2009, the VTN Maple Chapter, which consists of 30 of Canada’s most successful IT solution providers, came together to launch “Maple Leaf Gives Back” – a new Chapter initiative that focuses on giving back to the Canadian community through charitable giving and fundraising efforts.

Clicks for the Cure is Maple Leaf Gives Back’s first not-for-profit fundraiser benefiting the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. By simply clicking and purchasing a t-shirt from the VTN Maple Leaf Chapter’s on-line gallery at http://www.tshirtmonster.ca/Designer/VTNMapleLeaf/, businesses and consumers alike can make a difference and contribute to the greater cause of breast cancer research.

According to Terry Buchanan, vice president and chief technology officer of CONPUTE and current president of the VTN Maple Leaf Chapter, one of the primary goals of this effort is to get more people and businesses involved in this national do-good initiative.

“Our community of IT solution providers is really good at supporting each other, but we also wanted to extend our reach and combined influence within the North American IT channel to help give back to a worthy cause,” says Buchanan. “From that vision, we created the Clicks for the Cure campaign to support the Breast Cancer Society of Canada.”

With advertisements and promotions on Facebook and LinkedIn, Buchanan anticipates Clicks for the Cure will gain a contagious momentum as a web-based campaign and exceed their expectations.

“With this initiative, we’re not only challenging other members of Ingram Micro’s VentureTech Network, but the IT industry at large to get involved and click for the cure,” says Buchanan.

“T-Shirtmonster is all about helping people to market and fundraise for their favourite causes and it’s great to be working with the VTN Maple Leaf Chapter on this exciting, new initiative,” says Roland Mackintosh, co-founder at T-Shirtmonster.ca. “By taking this initiative online, we’re making it easy for people and businesses to show their support for the Breast Cancer Society of Canada and feel good knowing that every purchase contributes to such a worthy cause”.

“The Breast Cancer Society of Canada is delighted to be chosen as the charity of choice for the VTN Maple Leaf Chapter’s Give Back initiative,” says Marsha Davidson, executive director of the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. “Together we can make a difference in the lives of many.”

Ferris Bueller T-Shirts, by Movie Quote T-Shirt Designs

admin — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:41:17 +0000

We saw these images in the Monster Gallery and had to comment – I mean, who hasn’t seen Ferris Bueller’s Day off?!! Teacher calling out his name, “Bueller…Bueller…Bueller” was the inspiration for one of the designs, we had to ask the designer about the other two which are more obscure.

The “Save Ferris” town water tower is a nice touch, but “Abe Froman Meats” takes the cake! You have to be a die hard Bueller fan to remember who Abe Froman is (think back to the fancy restaurant scene!). Ahhh, good old Abe Froman, King of the Sausage Meats of Chicago! PS. Check out their Gallery (very cool header) for more movie related t-shirt designs: http://www.tshirtmonster.ca/Designer/moviequotes/

Robbie Burns Day T-Shirts

admin — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 15:57:22 +0000

Jan 25th is Robbie Burns Day, and we thought we’d feature a few Robbie Burns t-shirt designs from one of our top sellers, 4am Design! For those of you who have never heard of Robbie Burns, he’s the national poet of Scotland, and Burns night is celebrated worldwide. You don’t have to be Scottish to have an appreciation for Robbie Burns, but you will have to be open minded and try HAGGIS, traditionally served with “tatties” and “neeps” (potatoes and turnips).

License To Kilt T-Shirt

Of course, one can’t help to get nostalgic when the haggis is piped in by a Scotsman, full kilt and the pipes blaring. Beer and whisky (Scotch) is served with enthusiasm and Burns night usually gears up for a night of traditional Scottish dancing.

It’s a Kilt – Not a Skirt T-Shirt

“The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men” you may have heard this expression, but it’s actually part of a Burns Poem called “To A Mouse”

Robbie Burns T-Shirt

To close, we will end with what we think is the best all time Robbie Burns poem, and no, we’re not talking about the world famous “Auld Lang Syne” sung by millions on New Years Eve (or “Hogmany” as it’s called in Scotland), we’re talking about “Scots Wha Hae”….Braveheart anyone?

‘Scots, wha ae wi’ Wallace bled,

Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,

Welcome tae yer gory bed,

Or tæ Victorie!

‘Now’s the day, and now’s the hour:

See the front o’ battle lour,

See approach proud Edward’s power -

Chains and Slaverie!

‘Wha will be a traitor knave?

Wha will fill a coward’s grave?

Wha sæ base as be a slave?

Let him turn and flee!

‘Wha, for Scotland’s king and law,

Freedom’s sword will strongly draw,

Freeman stand, or Freeman fa’,

Let him on wi’ me!

‘By Oppression’s woes and pains!

By your sons in servile chains!

We will drain our dearest veins,

But they shall be free!

‘Lay the proud usurpers low!

Tyrants fall in every foe!

Liberty’s in every blow! -

Let us do or dee!’
