Just one newsletter for July, kids.
With new resources, statistics, partners,
travels and oh, yeah, last month's competition.

I'll skip the excuses, but needless to say,
last month's competition didn't run so smoothly.
Email addresses were forgotten, emails were lost,
clarity was failing. So let's try again.
Tell me which movie has the quote
"I scream, you scream, we all scream for
an ice cream". Three randomly picked winners
get a pint of Ben and Jerry's.

Send answers directly to sfc@spreadshirt.net. If you sent it last time,
try again. As those hippies would say, it's a new dawn.

Partner of the month

PhotoBox

The UK company PhotoBox has paved the way in online photo services in the UK and Ireland, and picked up a bunch of awards along the way. A free service that lets you post your photos online, you have been able to get prints, photo editing and enlargements. And now clothing.

A new partnership with Spreadshirt lets members upload images to create customised apparel and gifts. It's free, it's easy, it has a catchy title (Photo Fashion). We welcome them on board.

The awards are in

The half-year best sellers

So the first half of 2006 is over, time to let you know what did well in our product assortment.

Men's best sellers: Comfort T, Slim Fit, Slim Contrast Tee.

Women's best sellers: Continental Classic Girlie, Raw Egded Top, Spaghetti Top.

Most popular underwear went to the Continental String Thong (who's surprised?), best headgear to Beechfield Basecap. The tote bag claimed most popular accessory, the mug got the best sold gift item. Congrats to all the winner. Think about making these your new best friends...

Employee of the Month

Daniel

We met Daniel a while back because he was the UK marketing manager for Jamba and we were very interested in picking his brain. A few drinks later, and we end up with him setting up and renovating the Derby Shop in Berlin with designer Mike Friedrich.

Mike will now carry the torch as store manager, as Daniel leaves on an extended world trip. But promises he won't forget about us (or about working for us) entirely. Send us some postcards.

Out and over. When is someone going to start making Morse code shirts?
