In this episode of the Spreadshop MerchCast podcast, the insiders demonstrate brainstorming skills by pulling ideas out of a hat — or in this case the next best thing: a Bossk Halloween mask. That’s right, a rubber replica of that creepy, lizard-like, bounty hunter from space. The podcast pals turn to their trusted friend Brooke to select ideas at random that they then use to spitball ideas for merch designs, shop styles, and promotional strategies. Just as Bossk hunts for elusive Wookies across the galaxy far, far away, the team hunts for great ideas to build a successful brand and sell merchandise online based on these random topics submitted to the group.
In our first podcast of 2019 the gang gives a fun re-cap on why the heck Spreadshop is so awesome, what the heck you can do with it and more, and how it's basically for anyone and everyone. We need your help for next episode! To show that it truly can be used by anyone we're going to do a live brainstorm episode and will draw a topic randomly while we record! So if you want some free advice or design ideas from our experts just send your topic to premiumdesign@spreadshirt.com or comment or message us through any of our social media. If you're an Anchor App user, you can even send us an audio message and we can play your topic request on the show and shout out to your brand, product or social media handle.
The guys say goodbye to 2018 with a quick look back before sprinting forward with 3 top resolutions for Spreadshop owners in 2019.

It's the night before Christmas at Spreadshop and all the merch makers are tucked away quietly in their beds waiting for Santa to arrive. But just because the big holiday is here doesn't mean the gift giving season is over, far from it! In this episode we give you some tips and reminders to always be thinking ahead for your promotions and upcoming holiday seasons. Also, Moose's Uncle Frank stops by for a holiday surprise! We hope all of our listeners enjoy the Holiday season!
We found out a real life Elf from the North Pole has her own Spreadshop so we decided to ask her a few questions. Unfortunately things are not so rosy up in the North Pole, and could Santa really be that bad of a boss? At least Zoey has her Spreadshop to work on the side, and maybe next year she won't have to have her miserable day job.

For small non-profits print on demand is the perfect solution for your merch." - Aleasha Monroe. Online merch isn't just for Youtube creators and famous personalities.

We have some breaking news from Spreadshop land as the gang talks about an awesome new Spreadshop feature, that's of course completely free to use! Moose doesn't know how this can even be free.... but we assure you it's 1000% free. Unlike other players out there in the custom merch game, Spreadshop never charges you for these awesome features. In fact, we love taking the feedback we receive, giving it to our Wizards so they can cook up some amazing magic to make your experience even more fantastic! ❓To answer Moose's question of "How is this even free??! The answer is simple! The better we make the custom shop experience for you, the more you'll want to sell, and when you sell we all make money. We then keep reinvesting that money on better products and tools for creators.

"Just looking at the site and how easy it is to manage as a creative myself. It was a no-brainer. It’s just so simple. You upload the image, you launch it, you design it yourself, or you can have someone design it for you, its too easy. And I’ve got other stuff going on in my life, the less I have to worry about, branding the dark prince, the better, you know? What I like about Spreadshop is my fans can go in there and pick the color of the shirt they want, we get inspired by their designs just as they do ours. And it’s so fun and I love they can go in there and make their own phrase." - Motherwife Insert your demonic hissing sounds here! And ALL HAIL MR. BUBZ!
