Wondering what to get that special someone for the holidays? We’re big believers that going custom is always a good idea. In a time where generic gift cards take reign, many people yearn for something custom and personal. A.T. Cross Company recently revealed the results of their first annual gifting study that sheds light on key holiday shopping and gift giving trends. The result? The survey of more than 2,000 North American consumers revealed consumers desire personalization above all else when receiving a gift.
If you are hard pressed to find something for someone on your list, why not opt for a custom t-shirt?
The rise of online, made to order, t-shirt companies has been prolific over the past few years (think Red Bubble, TeeSpring, Zazzle, Etsy). That said, we couldn’t be more proud to say that many of the brands you love most print on BELLA+CANVAS tees because they love the quality, fit, and silhouette. Not to mention they know that we make tees that people will actually want to wear. There are a few reasons for the rise and success of these companies:
- There is a huge demand for personalization to the oomph degree.
- They cater to the immediacy demanded by the skyrocketing market for socially relevant t-shirts (think about how many “Nasty Woman” t-shirts you saw pop up within days of that last presidential debate).
- These days, it’s easier than ever to build and run an online t-shirt shop thanks to the advancements of DTG technology.
