New Merch in the works!
Added 2021-08-28 13:31:08 +0000 UTCI'm suuuuuuuper excited to show you guys the first pass at our new merch designs. Some have been sent back for modifications while others made the cut right away.
As many of you who were on our live chat this month heard, we had a social media audit done and got some feedback on what we could change. One thing was developing a merch line that it's more in line with what we would wear every day. So I went through my own wardrobe and picked out things I love to wear, and gave pictures of them to my designer along with an inspiration board to follow to recreate them into my own line of merch.
I also ordered samples of some of the designs that passed the test from a new website to see how the quality compares to our current merch service.
What do you guys think of the new designs?
The very last design is the one I sent back for modifications. I want to see a budgie in that one, and am deciding on the other species to include - which ones do you think should be included in the 5 parrot spaces available?

I'm going to need both sweatshirts ASAP! It sure is cold here in Ohio already. Time to be fashionable and warm. <3

2021-08-30 15:39:06 +0000 UTCLove these!! Especially the last one would definitely buy that right now! I love parrotlets and would love too see one on the design! I would totally love to see a shirt with a similar design with small birds in the front and large ones in the back. The tagline could say something like "This is who my bird thinks he is!" Would also really love to have little footprints or something on the sleeves as a little easter egg type thing! Awesome line up guys! 🤩

2021-08-30 04:46:44 +0000 UTCDon’t forget about the Little green cheek monsters on me and green cheek Conyers… Kidding. Also Indian ringnecks are awesome. I love this whole wine of merch. The first and 3fd are my favorite. I absolutely love when words go down the arms too. Having our motto SShowing is the best

2021-08-30 00:16:29 +0000 UTCTotally understandable. Although a link to gear on your site sounds like a great option!. Looking forward to whichever route you choose and ordering some merch!!

2021-08-29 19:00:50 +0000 UTCI love that you can put designs front and back and on sleeves with Printiful! I am playing around with it a bit now. The only bummer is having to link it to our store because then it creates a million merch products in our main store so I am considering either making it its own site like birdtricksgear.com linked to its own store to handle the funding - or something like that route. Right now we like keeping our main store separate from merch and with Spring (whom we currently use) its handled all through their websites and customer service so it is less and less on my team for order issues. That is my only hiccup with looking at other places is every route seems to lead back to more responsibility on my team for it vs being so hands off as it currently is. So still playing around... I appreciate all these suggestions!!! Keep 'em coming!

2021-08-29 07:59:13 +0000 UTCLove them Jamie! What about some long sleeve shirts (instead of sweatshirts) I’d also love to see the BirdTricks Logo on one and I love the down the sleeve idea from others!!
Teresa Kernodle
2021-08-29 01:50:48 +0000 UTCI really love the sweater ones!! I like #5 it’s very clean looking. I also like #4 with the writing going through the main logo. What if you did one referencing free flight? Overall love the designs and cannot wait for them to become available!

2021-08-28 23:18:33 +0000 UTCFor the last one, maybe do a small birds version and a big birds version? (And a medium birds version if you want to be extra, lol). Maybe a quote on the back like "Little bird, BIG personality." Love the quote "I'm only talking to my bird today" XD. Baggy sweaters are A+, like the logo for the first one (gold on navy).

2021-08-28 20:01:15 +0000 UTCYou should also do the family design that is on the inside of your sampler box. That would be so cute on a shirt.
Holden Kendrick
2021-08-28 17:48:19 +0000 UTC#5 for sure, but in the color of 2&3. #5 would definitely be a good one to add BirdTricks down one sleeve on a long sleeved item. I'd love to see pj's and nightshirts or a tunic length tee.

2021-08-28 17:46:45 +0000 UTCTotally need the only talking to my one asap

2021-08-28 16:36:07 +0000 UTCAll of these are so wearable! 2 + 5 are already on my list for when these launch. The color on 2/3 is gorgeous, so I hope that one is an option. These are lovely Jamie, thank you!

2021-08-28 16:28:57 +0000 UTC100% yes! I’m buying multiples if they have pockets.
Brittany Hoganson
2021-08-28 16:27:13 +0000 UTCHave you looked into www.Printful.com. It doesn’t require you to buy inventory but rather you upload your design and it offers a print on demand and drop ship merchandise. Worth check out maybe??
Ali Stergas
2021-08-28 16:26:01 +0000 UTCHey Ali, I just realized you have to order stuff from them and then have it designed upon after that. The other places we use do printing on demand so we don't stock anything as far as merch goes. It's a much simpler method easier on my team so I will have to keep sourcing vs using this company unfortunately!

2021-08-28 15:59:16 +0000 UTCHey what about sweatpants? Lol

2021-08-28 15:45:22 +0000 UTCJust emailed you!
Ali Stergas
2021-08-28 15:32:26 +0000 UTCI just sent you an email with an example of a piece of merch with graphics on front, back AND sleeves.
Ali Stergas
2021-08-28 15:31:04 +0000 UTCI like that idea. Can you usually make a design on the front and back too for stuff like that? I have never printed on the sleeves before.
BirdTricks
2021-08-28 14:49:18 +0000 UTCYay!
BirdTricks
2021-08-28 14:48:58 +0000 UTCThanks girl!
BirdTricks
2021-08-28 14:48:47 +0000 UTCI love their colors so much more too! I will definitely see about ordering some samples from them!! Let me know your size, color preferences and mailing address so I can slip you something for the suggestion!

2021-08-28 14:48:41 +0000 UTCOmg I LOVE this line up!!! I've sent it to the designer!

2021-08-28 14:41:21 +0000 UTCWhat about placing writing and or bird graphics going down/on the sleeve for sweatshirts/long sleeve shirts.
Ali Stergas
2021-08-28 13:44:35 +0000 UTCI love 1, 3 and 5. Shoot out of those 5 is my favorite lol 🤣

2021-08-28 13:43:12 +0000 UTCI LOVE these!!
Wendy Miller
2021-08-28 13:39:02 +0000 UTCCould you use Bella Canvas products for merch? It is truly the softest fabric in the game.
