Hurricane Bawbag leaves OFFSHORE survivor t-shirts in its wake

PRLog (Press Release) - Dec. 9, 2011 - UK, 9 December 2011, Clothing-commerce platform, Spreadshirt (www.spreadshirt.co.uk) saw a rise in hurricane designs on its Marketplace on Thursday and the creation of a new online shop, I Survived Hurricane BawBag (www.isurvivedhurricanebawbag.spreadshirt.co.uk). Get Around Glasgow and Classic Weather Icons also extended their ranges to include Bawbag clothing. By using Spreadshirt’s clothing-commerce offering and print-on-demand technology, some of these designs were available and selling by 3pm on Thursday afternoon.  

On Friday 9th, Spreadshirt was contacted by workers on a rig 140 miles north-east of Shetland asking if they can have a commemorative shirt. Get Around Glasgow is preparing a special version;  I Survived Hurricane Bawbag OFFSHORE. (www.getaroundglasgow.spreadshirt.co.uk/)

The 8th December saw the twitter hashtag  #hurricanebawbag trend worldwide as the north of the country was lashed by cold winds, which reached up to 138.5mph in the Orkney Islands. Hardy survivors can now choose from a range of designs, including up-turned umbrellas, the slogan ‘one of our trampolines is missing’ and a collection of extreme weather symbols including a limited edition pressure chart (http://weather.spreadshirt.co.uk/). Wearers can choose from a range of t-shirts, hoodies and bags in a style, colour and size to suit them.

Spreadshirt shop partners can bring their design ideas to life through white label and social media shops or the Spreadshirt market place. Print-on-demand technology means that each item of clothing is printed only when it is ordered. This removes the need for a large investment upfront, or surplus stock. Spreadshirt’s fulfilment service handles everything from production and payment to shipping and customer service for its Shop Partners.
