Looking to join a community of like-minded individuals? Want guidance on maintaining a Spreadshop? Hoping to get answers on some complex questions? Then look no further than the Spreadshirt forum!
Now, we know what you’re thinking: forums are dated and littered with memes. Well listen here, smarty pants, the Spreadshirt forum provides a venue where Shop Owners can learn, teach, ask questions, and share advice. We understand that the Shop Owner experience can be a bit confusing, but the forum should provide you with all the insight you could possibly need to clear up any issues you may be experiencing.
Why Join the Forum?
We’re not going to sugarcoat it… being a Shop Owner can be difficult. Finding success takes a lot of hard work and effort. Even then, your dedication may not necessarily lead to (immediate) sales. Fortunately, you’re not alone.
As a Shop Owner, you’re probably looking for support and understanding from individuals in a similar situation. Well, you’ll be able to find those individuals hanging out on the Spreadshirt forum. You can exchange any tips, tricks, and hints, and it will also provide an excellent opportunity to learn some of the optimal practices for running a Shop.
What Topics Are Discussed?
While the posts on the Spreadshirt forum can span a wide variety of topics, there are several talking points that are particularly common, including HTML/CSS hacks, design tutorials, and info about printing and color techniques.
You’ll also have exclusive access to new releases, features, and updates, and you’ll receive useful tips on website integration, SEO practices, and marketing techniques. Essentially, the forum will serve as your encyclopedia for all things Spreadshop.
There Are Even Exclusive Events!
If you participate in the Spreadshirt forum, you’ll have access to a list of exclusive opportunities. For instance, on 30.05.2018, we’ll be hosting a Q&A-session with our Spreadshop-Developers. This will allow you to ask our developers about all things Spreadshop, including Shop integration, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, code, and any other tech topic. Save the date!
