| Re: shirt.woot.com...the threadless killer? The first "official" design is up today (12AM Texas time): Woot : One Day, One Deal ( Sore Thumbs...a gaming related t-shirt design)
Looks like they are keeping with the $10 with free shipping gig.
They really are going for a low margin on these tees, especially since they are using American Apparel.
I just bought one and they aren't even upcharging for the 2XL. | |

| Re: shirt.woot.com...the threadless killer? Guys, guys, guys. It's all a marketing ploy. Start off with 500 shirts and see how it does. Next thing, 1000, 2000 shirts...plus if there doing this every day 6200 a day = 1,612,000 for the year...not to shabby | |

| Re: shirt.woot.com...the threadless killer? I started a site very similar trying to do the woot 'one deal per day'(7 days a week) idea... i didn't think they'd get into shirts. | |

| Re: shirt.woot.com...the threadless killer? Rodney, you keep saying it will be interesting to see what happens with woot..
But why??
Will what they do somehow revolutionize the T-Shirt industry?
I just see this as a company leveraging their expansive user base to sell T-Shirts.
Their is synergy between their core business and their new t-shirt venture.
I'm just wondering what the big woot is all about. | |

I'm most surprised that they are selling them for $10 with free shipping. They are printing them in house, which helps to cut down costs. | |  | |  | | Hi guys, I designed the Sore Thumbs shirt so I thought I'd pop in here to clear up a few things...
On the first day a shirt is sold, it is sold at the $10 price. Even if it sells out, it will still be available through a backdoor link (the link for mine is Woot Shirt : One Shirt, No Shoes, No Service (SM) if you want to see how it works), though at the higher price of $15. So if you don't mind paying a little extra, there's no real need to be up at midnight when new shirts go up.
I know there were also some questions about how designers get paid. It's a flat fee for the first night of sales and a dollar amount per shirt after that (I'm not comfortable being more specific, but they'd probably tell you if you emailed).
Also, I had my t-shirt blog linked in the product description and as a result I got over 2500 hits. I had a post about Threadless up and enough people bought shirts through that link yesterday that I have enough street team points for a free shirt. So some of you who have t-shirt businesses could have a ton of potential sales if Shirt.Woot sold one of your shirts. I think that's the thing that will make Shirt.Woot so huge- I can see a lot of businesses being interested in getting that many potential purchasers to their site, especially since the number of Shirt.Woot members is still growing. | |
