Teespring Helps Us Fill the Foodbank

Teespring is  a unique site. They allow you to design  tee, sell that tee, and use the money that you make off of it for charities or other purposes. One couple used it for adoption for example. Setting up your account is very easy, all you do is list your email and then set up a password. The entire design process is super simple.

I went in and selected the type I shirt I wanted to design (women, relax fit) and then selected the color. Added in my text and then I used some of their art they already had on the site. however you can upload some of your own that you have. A few minutes later and I have created my tee and launched my campaign. I decided that I would use mine to help fill the local food bank. More on that though in a bit. If you have trouble coming up with a design you can ask the people at Teespring to help you. The sky is the limit pretty much. The default number of tees to sell is set at 50 but then you can change it to whatever number that you want. Like I said the entire process was easy and Teespring is definitely something I would use again.

There is one thing though, you must reach your minimum before any tees can even be printed.They are Crowdfunded which means you need people to buy and don’t have any upfront costs. Another thing is your design can’t have more than 10 colors in it. above is the tee I wanted to do but my header is so full of color that it was just too much.

Now to my tee and what it will benefit! As I said I designed this tee using Teespring and I kept the design pretty simple. You can be as elaborate (within 10 colors) or as simple as you want. The tee will be on sale until July 12th and all the money raised will be giving to a local food bank to help them replenish their supplies. As you all know I donate to several food banks in the area and they are near and dear to me.
