Craig Dobbins Opens Online Store

May 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Craig Dobbins now has an online custom shop. Great artwork and logos from craigdobbins.com are available on shirts, mugs, and other cool products. There’s a binder for subscribers to “Acoustic Guitar Workshop” so they can organize their issues. There are t-shirts with the beautiful “fingerpickin” CD cover. For those who have children, Melissa from “Melissa and the Green Blanket” is available on a creeper. Several items are already available and new ones are being added.

“Having a wide variety of merchandise is something we’ve been wanting to do for quite some time,” says Dobbins’ wife, Julie. “We just haven’t had the room to store it all.”

That’s where Zazzle comes to the rescue. Zazzle is an online company that produces the item when it is ordered. Dobbins designs the items that are for sale in his online store and then Zazzle handles everything else - the manufacturing, the shipping, and the payments.   That also means there is a wider variety of items. Besides t-shirts and coffee mugs, there are mousepads, aprons, and other unique gear. Presently there are ten different designs, but with all of the options there are actually over 130 different products.

“There is a coffee mug with the AGW logo,” says Dobbins, “but you have the choice of having the logo on a travel mug, stein, or different color mugs.”

The merchandise starts with name brands, like Avery, and then are customized. Once purchased, they are ready to ship in 24 hours. Zazzle is a multi-national company as well, so the products are availble just about anywhere.  Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Paypal are accepted forms of payment.

Response to the shop has been exciting, with items being purchased within just a few hours of the site going live. To see the designs and products that are available, go to:
