I Love your design and your way to think manly about the high quality of your product. (Sorry for my english, i’m french!).
I am trying to create a tees business in France (South) and i don’t find a printer who does a similar quality. Can i ask you what kind of print do you use? Is that flex?

Oh, and one more! I love that Ugmonk products are made in the U.S.! :D I love supporting local or U.S.-based vendors.

Thank you for sharing this, Jeff. I’ve been regularly visiting your blog but I must have overlooked this post.

I do agree that people tell others about the product if they really like it. That’s exactly what I’ve been doing since I learned about Ugmonk. :)

I love the simplicity and design of all your products but what I love the most about Ugmonk is that you choose quality over quantity. You share snapshots of your thumbnail drawings and sketches on the blog…and we, as customers, all know that you really put extra efforts into every single design.

I love the fact that Ugmonk is an independent/indie brand where you –the founder and designer — yourself write blog posts and post things on Facebook and Twitter.

Last but not least, I really love that Ugmonk gives back to the community by helping others in need.

@Tyler: Thanks for the comment. I think you may be confusing “marketing” with “paid advertising.” Doing some type of marketing is essential for any brand to grow, but I am suggesting focussing more on the products and less on doing paid advertising. In my opinion, there are other methods of marketing that are much more effective. More on that later.

While I completely agree with you regarding product quality… I found your site because your store was featured on a creative website… which is marketing…which brought me to your website.

I think that it would do you and everyone else a disservice by not doing marketing of some sort. You have an amazing product, great! Market it and people will flock to you even faster.

I feel you! If you give them a product to talk about you will have your advertising. Quality comes first. I’m focusing on that.
