a few "bells and whistles"

I really wanted to find a way to reward all of our repeat customers; you know who you all are. ;) That was really one of the major drawbacks of staying on eBay for so long; it was tough to offer incentives without us getting hit in the back end with fees. At first we though of doing a punch-card type thing, but the site isn't really set-up with that feature. However, it does allow permanent discount codes, YAY!! So if you shop with us often, be expecting an email soon with your "Loyalty" reward code.

We've had many requests in the past for us to gift wrap packages, so we've added that feature to the site as well. No, it's not free...but we do take a lot of extra time to "pretty" them up and and they need to be double boxed, so that adds to material and postage cost.

We've finally made size charts for all of our lines and have put them all on one page, making it much easier for you to see which labels/sizes will fit you well BEFORE you do all of your shopping. And no....our size charts are not the generic "accurate with 2-3 inches" type chart....holy cow, that pretty much covers 3 sizes for women, like that's a big help!?! I've been measuring all of our shirts for 6 years now (and I am quite happy to stop, haha), so the charts are accurate within a half inch. There's always going to be a little variance as the companies don't always cut shirts the exact same size for every batch of tees, but the stretchiness compensates well. ;)

I NEED YOUR SOCIAL NETWORK! We need your help to spread the word about our site and will be creating an affiliate program, and we would love to have you join us! There is, of course, a reward in it for you and I'll have more details on that coming soon. Sadly, I don't have much of a social network....was too busy measuring shirts...

Can you say FREE BUTTONS?? Every purchase from My Trendy Tees will get one/some; we had them made just for us with some really fun sayings. :) We wanted a way to reward ALL purchases, and I wanted it to be a fun, usable gift....so I thought "everyone loves buttons!"

Hi!!! I got your email about your blog and am extremely interested to see what your new website/store will look like. I ordered from you once before, and I would definitely order more but it's difficult to see all of what you have because some of the things ended pretty quickly. Ebay is a cool place but a person like me who is so random when shopping hates to have time limits. Oh, well thanks again for the email and I hope to see your store up and running soon. I am currently in love with Harajuku Lovers and I like that you offer many of their products...TTYS
