Hi guys,

For those of you who like a little (early) Saturday morning browse of our websites, i want to give you the heads up that we will be having some scheduled routine performance maintenance. This will take place on Saturday, July 26th between 08:00 and 10:00 CEST (so 07:00 to 09:00 UK time). During this time, online services on our platform and all related shops won’t be operational for the following:

· www.spreadshirt.net 

· www.spreadshirt.com

· www.lafraise.com

A screen will inform customers to come back after the scheduled maintenance period, when we will be back up and fully operational as before.

We apologise for the short notice of this announcement and for any inconvenience this might cause you.

Your Spreadshirt Team

And in a few more weeks we will be moving in completely to our new Headquarter in Leipzig Plagwitz. Of course we spent a couple of thoughts on how we show from the outside that Spreadshirt is located here.
This is our idea: outside the building we will mount plates that look like T-Shirts in different sizes, shapes and colors (and as if they were “stuck” to the building). Therefore, we need your help!

To make these shirts not only huge T-Shirts, but SPREADshirts, we kindly ask for your support: Give us your favourite 3 designs that we should put on the shirts outside the building! In the end, we will put up 10 shirts with your designs!

Quite a while ago, when switching our blog platform from Nucleus to Wordpress, we went on a little “Blog Safari”. Now that The International T-Shirt Day is getting closer and closer, we´re off on Safari again.

And this is how it works: 20 bloggers who

• use the tag “tshirtday08″
• when writing about the first International T-Shirt-Day (which will be celebrated on June 21st in Europe),
• link to www.t-shirtday.com and
• comment on this post or simply post a trackback,

will get the brand new Zeixs book on t-shirt design or laFraise vouchers. If more than 20 bloggers take part, the winners will be drawn at random.

In addition, the best story in regards to a favourite t-shirt, which is posted before the 21st of June, will be awarded with a Samsung NV24D Digital Camera.

Jessica Hagy is well known in the blogoshere for her unique take on Mathematical Charts and Venn Diagrams. Over on her blog, Indexed, you can find over 500 notecards filled with my personal favourites such as Danger!Danger!, Let it go and Ticked. Jessicas “doodles” have proven so popular that she now has her own book (for sale on Amazon), and her own Spreadshirt Shop! Jessica was kind enough to answer a few of Michels questions, which can be found in the full post…

After the launch of digital direct in the US earlier this year and the move of our production in Leipzig to a new (and bigger) spot we finally are able to kick off Digital Direct in Europe, too. We will start with Digi Direct next week on wednesday, June 4th Mid of June.* (more…)

If we publish your story, you’ll receive a free sample shirt from us.

Until next monday, you can also participate in the T-Shirtday Competition over at laFraise: we are looking for the official T-Shirtday design to replace the “I (heart)” design as topseller in our marketplace.

It is just unbelievable. Back in January we stood in front of a heap of rubble and dirty ground and now this: Presses, shelves, T-Shirts, people. No more delay, no eventualities, no maybes. Last weekend our production department moved into the new building. Goodbye Taucha, Welcome Plagwitz!

Naturally such a tour de force leaves its marks. Despite teamwork and nightshifts at the weekend we couldn’t prevent that one or the other T-Shirt arrived with a day delay. Please forgive us, we promise not to move again in the next five years or so. Also our new home is prepared for some growth so you will find us at Gießerstraße 27 for the next years to come.
What else is going on? Well, first of all we will have to optimize workflows in the new surroundings. Everyone in production is now working together in the big hall and that saves us a lot of time. Time we will use to produce T-Shirts even faster and get them delivered to you with even more reliability. The rest of the Spreadshirt crew, e.g. Marketing and Service, will move in early August.
And by the way: If you want to come looking for us at night then, follow the green light…. More on this one in the next blog post.

David Dimitrov is Spreadshirt’s Chief Controller. Find out what that is, why it is even more confusing to work at a long established company like Daimler than at Spreadhirt (yes, this is a gibe) - and why David is actually going to Plovdiv once a year..
