  • I was looking at the Excel sheet that we're using to track everything and found out that we've shipped t-shirts almost to every big city in India. As a tradition, our estimates were proven wrong; and so was the idea of using excel sheets to track all the orders. 😕 We thought we'd sell only a few t-shirts to the most active members of the site and that'd be it. It now appears that we might just have to start a side-business to handle it.

    There are few things we feel could have been done better. Our excuse is that this was our first time into it - and we've learned a lot. But that said - we ensured that everyone who ordered the tee - got the product well and there were no issues. I hope the experience of getting the t-shirt delivered the t-shirt was good for everyone. It's only improving from the next sale onwards.

    Things we want to improve-
    • Packaging of the t-shirts. We were promised that the shipments will go intact; but the photos shared of the delivered products disappointed us. We're going to offer a better packaging from next shipment onwards.
    • Courier - we're likely to go with FedEx.
    • Better shopping experience. We're planning on setting up a store.
    We're also planning for international shipments and launch the POLO t-shirts; the ones which were in HUGE demand and yet we launched round-neck tees 😀 .

    If you have any suggestions, feedback - we're hearing!

    Ditch spreadsheets and get a proper billing software. There are free ones also ;-)

    Not the right place to discuss; but we already informed you that Extra Large tees are out of stock. The next batch is likely to arrive towards the end of September.

    The billing is handled all online. We began using excel to keep track of orders and invite codes - because we were under impression that we'd sell very limited t-shirts within the community. But as the orders went up, invite system (more importantly, handling the questions and customer care calls related to it) became very difficult.

    Spreadsheets work fine and we might just get a custom software developed to maintain the records in individual CEan's account itself.

    Polo and Hoodies are planned. Polos will launch first and we are thinking of launching the Hoodies towards the star of December (brand new design that kicks ass is ready!).

    I meant online only ;-) There are online billing softwares which work well. I welcome custom software development, but why reinvent the wheel? ;-)

    instead you could spend that effort to somewhere else (or money on tee discounts). boxbilling and phpcoin come to my mind.

    edit: some more #-Link-Snipped-#
