T-Shirtmonster In the Financial Post
Thursday, April 8th, 2010We 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.”
