?Back in the saddle again....  with a new direction for our little podcast. We were really good at dropping all kinds of knowledge about the merch game, but now we're gonna drop knowledge ALL OVER THE DANG PLACE!!! Spreadshop podcast is now the BYOB Podcast, brought to you by Spreadhop.com. I'll be dropping tips and strategies you can use to help you build your own personal brand or even your own mega brand.  In my first swing at bat, I talk a little about my trip to eTail East 2019, where I was honored to speak on stage about "growth hacking" and building scrappy teams of experts. I could literally talk about this all day, and i did, for 4 whole days at eTail! It was a great time, full of big brands and fancy people. I recorded a piece of my talk to share with you all.  I hope you can use these few tips within your own journey of building your brand. And hey, if you need merch, I know a guy who knows a guy... spreadshop.com ?

? So you've failed at merch? Here's how to win.

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. 

⭐️ How to Brainstorm: Bossk, Hackers and Comedians edition

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.

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.
