New Graphics, New Merch & Just Plain Store News

Yes, I did put up those Obama-Biden graphics I wrote about Obama-Biden in my last post. I gambled that Joe Biden would be Obama's vice-presidential pick - and, obviously, I won.

Check out some of these Obama-Biden goods

Have I mentioned the new CafePress clocks here yet? Check out some of my new clocks.

The new Junior Jerseys have arrived @ CafePress. Also, find new ceramic travel mugs (nice for gifts).

Other new graphics besides the Obama-Biden ones - new music graphics, such as the two new green eighth-note graphics.

Check this out if you still need back-to-school items. Do note that there's new-and-improved journals.

Easy on your pocketbook in these challenging economic times, check out some of my CafePress under-$10 merchandise. Find some of these in the Back-to-School section as well as in the "Bernanke Bargain Bin" (filled with music graphics, and other graphics too, such as Earth, peace symbols, nerdy/geeky stuff, Christian crosses, flowers, etc.). Check out these affordable merchandise links:

~ Cheap School Stuff @ www.cafepress.com/chmdesign/5876855 (Priced @ under $10)
~ Bernanke BARGAIN BIN @ www.cafepress.com/chmdesign/5214776 (Priced @ under $10)
~ Journals on Sale @ www.cafepress.com/chmdesign/5893323 (Again, priced @ under $10)

Also, please visit Music Stuff & More @ CafePress store's "NEW NEW NEW" section, as well as "Sales & Features", and, of course, "Music Merchandise."

And, don't forget my new Music Stuff & More @ Zazzle store. This Zazzle store has musical Circle of Fifths round keychains, the musical Keds shoes, and other merchandise not available at CafePress. Pictured below is one of the Circle of Fifths Zazzle keychains, look for the same in other colors and styles.

There's been a lot happening the past month or two: new store (Zazzle), closed store (the former "For Women Old Enough... store"), new graphics, new merchandise... (Whew.)

Finally, do note that I still will be offering almost all the graphics and merchandise once found in the former, now-closed, For Women Old Enough... store. (For one thing, they sold well!) I've also got a few "grannygear"-type items in my new Zazzle store, such as this pink "Granny Boomer" T-Shirt. So, watch for these "For Women Old Enough..." graphics on merchandise at my stores at both Zazzle and CafePress. (Yes, more later on this.)

I strongly recommend that you sign up for my monthly CafePress newsletter. It's a good news summary for my CafePress store, a newsletter I've been sending out every single month for years. Find the newsletter sign-up on the side-bar of this blog as well as on the Storefront of my Music Stuff & More @ CafePress store.

Enjoy the Fall, the Election, and the new school year!

Junior Jersey News & Sale @ CafePress

Jr. Jersey Upgrade Coming Soon to CafePress.

From CafePress...

Last year the Jr. Babydoll T-Shirt was upgraded with the current Jr. Jersey T-Shirt, with improvements to the overall quality and style. We’re pleased to announce another upgrade to the Jr. Jersey! Many Shopkeepers [and, customers, of course] will be happy to hear that the new shirt is from fashion brand – American Apparel, with updated colors at the same Base Price [and my same price, which will remain unchanged].

The details of the new Jr. Jersey T-Shirt are:

* American Apparel * Crew neck t-shirt, fashion fit * 100% Fine Jersey cotton, combed for softness and comfort * Colors: white, creme, lime, pink...

This Junior Jersey upgrade will happen in a few weeks but before that, we need to sell out of the current Jr. Jersey T-Shirt. Sounds like a great excuse for a sale! Starting Monday, July 14, we’ll have a liquidation sale for the current Jr. Jersey T-Shirts in white, blue, and pink. This sale will be promoted by Shopkeepers only – so it’s up to you to spread the word to your customers... [Which is exactly what I'm doing here...]

Junior Jersey Clearance Sale details:

* Promotion: $4 off Jr. Jersey T-Shirts * Coupon code: 4JRJERSEY * Sale starts: Monday, July 14, 2008

* Expiration: While supplies last*
* This is a liquidation sale, so as colors and sizes are sold out will be permanently removed from shops.

Back to me.... This sounds cool, a good thing. American Apparel is very popular now. And, sales are always a good thing. So, this is a good opportunity for you to stock up now for school and Fall. And, for extra savings, check out the following news...

I'm having a Junior Jersey Blow-Out Clearance Sale @ my "For Women Old Enough..." store, part because of this Junior Jersey Sale and as a parting farewell gift to my customers as I close out my "For Women Old Enough..." store by the end of this month (July), the "For Women Old Enough..." store will no longer be in August. (See my next post for more on this.)

Junior Jersey Blow-Out Clearance Farewell Sale @ "For Women Old Enough..." store. Actually I have marked down ALL of the Junior Jerseys in this "For Women Old Enough..." store, so you will be able to doubly save if you take advantage of this Farewell Sale - my mark-down (present now as I write), plus CafePress's mark-down (which begins next Monday).

And, as always, please be sure to visit and shop @ Music Stuff & More store.

More New Merch & New Graphics!


It's suddenly gotten very busy around the store lately thanks to CafePress's introduction of several new products, as well as the introduction of its new "InfiniStitch Embroidery" technique.

What all is new...

~ Maternity T-Shirts are now available in the color "Pink", in additon to the original "White." See samples @ http://www.cafepress.com/chmdesign/5584553
~ Have I mentioned the new Pet Bowls yet? In small and large sizes. See samples @ http://www.cafepress.com/chmdesign/5560079
~ And, there's the new merchandise that the "InfiniStitch Embroidery" goes on: a nifty green military-style cap, a faded red baseball cap, a light-blue denim long-sleeved shirt, black polo shirts for men and another for women, and black jackets for men and for women. Check out samples of these new goods here.
~ As for new Graphics...
= A new version of "Democratic Progress" (the graphic has been extended, using stars and stripes, so it would fit the sizing for the new "InfiniStitch Embroidery" process mentioned above).
= A new version of Piano Keyboard (again, extended to fit the sizing for the new "InfiniStitch Embroidery - in this case, the same graphic is merely resized, with no other changes)
= The new Round Green Treble Clef, pictured above on a round magent, designed with the "InfiniStitch Embroidery" in mind, but is also being used on any and all other merchandise for which it's suitable. http://www.cafepress.com/chmdesign/5564304 in the "Music Merchandise" area's "Green Treble Clef" section.

CafePress Stores News Updates

Apparently before the week is out, the following will happen at my CafePress stores. Quoting a CafePress spokesperson...

Upgraded:
-- The Jr. Baby Doll T-Shirt will be upgraded to the Jr. Jersey T-Shirt
-- 2 new colors: light pink (#35), light blue (#31) [hurray! colors!]
-- Jr. Jersey T-Shirt is $18.99 [this price does not reflect my mark-up]
-- Jr. Baby Doll T-Shirts already in shops will automatically update to the Jr. Jersey T-Shirt (including price to reflect your mark up) [this means that many of these neat new shirts will automatically appear throughout my stores, without your having to wait for me to get around to adding them - a very good thing for us all]

Discontinued:
These items will automatically be removed from your shop. [This is something I've previously mentioned. I've done some of this removal already, especially of the out-dated first-class postage (39 cents!)]

-- Camisole
-- Blue Trucker Hat (Black Trucker Hat is NOT discontinued)
-- Custom Postage
-- Postal Pal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<@

In other CafePress store news, I've opted-into CafePress' offer to add Men's White T-Shirts along with my Value T-Shirts. CafePress plans to discontinue showing the Value T-Shirts in their Marketplace. I was asked if I wanted to handle the change in my stores, or if I wanted to accept CafePress' offer to handle the change. I was good for the offer. After all, I can check over the change later, and tweak it if I dislike enough what CafePress has done to my shirts. Odds are they won't mess up too much, as this is likely even more about their making money than it is for me. I will check, though.

I was also offered the option of either replacing my Value T-Shirts with the Men's White Basic T-Shirts or of adding to my already existing Value T-Shirts.

I opted for the adding, as I've sold many Value T-Shirts over the years, and I would like to retain them in my stores as a lower price option for my customers. In fact, I am pleased with the Value T-Shirt I own. It is a good T-shirt - and at a lower price, frankly.

FYI, the vast majority of the time I have been adding both the basic White Men's T-Shirt and the Value T-Shirt when I add new graphics and new store sections to my CafePress stores.

My Internet Infrastructure Renovations & Related...

What I've been referring to, lo these many months, on my website, these blogs, my CafePress monthly newsletter, and elsewhere.

Remember my irritations at Microsoft and its goofiness with its FrontPage? My irritations that Google chose to upgrade its blogs (Blogger) at the same time? That CafePress changed its affiliation program at the same time? That I am renovating and upgrading almost everything? These blogs, my website... And always my stores, of course. (Most of it is like housework - unending, never really completed once and for all).

Okay, an update. As you can readily see, the blogs are slowly being finished. Not there yet, but well under way.

I've recently joined Commission Junction - which already has many of my goods I'm happy to say (go there and do a search on "chm") - so I can once again affiliate with other CafePress stores, as well as other CJ affiliates.

I still have the website to finish - after my Blogger blogs are up to standard. (The MySpace and Yahoo renovations will come later.) Gotta do the "digg" thing, update my "technocrati", do a "Skidoo"? etc., etc. Then there's all that, pardon my French, freaking Google stuff. They're dinging me for AdWords, there's the AdSense thing, The GOOG's analyzing my traffic, etc. - and, well, I've been neglecting it. Happily I make money anyway. : ) (There's that overhead thing, though, with the Yahoo and Google charges...hmmm.) Well, as you can see, I've done lots of my "CHM Internet Infrastructure Renovation" work, and I have way lots more to do. Target date for completion, or at least near-completion, is by 3Q, certainly by 4Q, and well before the holiday rush. I love being self-employed. But it is a lot of work being a one-woman business - and I do it all (and it shows? ; )

I appreciate your patience. Thanks for putting up with me and mine.

CafePress Coupons

Please note that I've been starting to add the code/script/whatever-the heck-it-is to my blogs - as in right here - for (dear and generous) Adam's CafePress coupon code offerings.

This is the very same coupon code long offered at my Music Stuff & More store in its left sidebar. (Isn't copy-and-paste wonderful?)

This coupon code is an automatic feature which will continually update with the latest CP coupon offerings. And there's always something being offered.

I believe (I really should check!) you can also add this coupon code in addition to any CafePress' sale or promotion savings - I suggest you give it a try.

Inside Scoop?

Quote below is from a CafePress official person to us shopkeepers. This merchandise is not available yet (or public announcements about it) - but it will be soon.

Any pregnant musicians out there?

Add that, generally speaking, the new tank tops will be especially nice for the hot weather. In nice colors, too.

The quote:

-- Maternity T-shirts: It's what you've been waiting for! With this shirt, we'll be offering a special belly print (10" x 10") area. Available in black and white.

-- Jr. Spaghetti: 3 new colors added! The colors are light pink, light blue, and lemon

CafePress Merchandise News

An FYI regarding changes coming soon regarding CafePress merchandise. (And, if I were you, it sounds as if you would like any of the soon-to-be discontinued merch mentioned, you might want to get it right away.)

Monthly CafePress Newsletter Sign-Up

Please note the monthly CafePress newsletter sign-up form at the top of the right sidebar.

I really am committed to this monthly newsletter, and this is the ultimate in the latest news regarding my CafePress business and other related matters.

This newsletter also always contains all the relevant links to my CafePress stores, blogs, website, etc. The only thing missing is the link to my Spreadshirt store - this newsletter is, after all, hosted and run by CafePress.

My website may be under renovation, my blogs may be under renovation, none of these may be completely updated every single month. Frequently, partially, but not completely, every single month.

There is also always something new in each and every monthly newsletter: new graphic(s), new merchandise, or a sale or promotion. I make sure of it.

So if you're interested in my CafePress-related online business, I do recommend that you subscribe to this monthly newsletter.

Note that the May Issue is about to go out before the week's over - this newsletter goes out during the last week of the month.

The Beginnings...

...Of the renovations around my "online empire", that is.

I've decided to start with my blogs, having roughed out a couple, with this one here likely the next in line. Then, I'll hook the relevant blogs to the renovated website.

Check out the newly-upgraded Music Stuff Blog

Do you think it has enough "labels", aka tags? ; ) Probably excessive?

I'd like the banner to my Music Stuff & More store to link to the store, but haven't yet found a way with this new Blogger upgrade. Should be a no-brainer, hmm. For another day... It's still a work-in-progress.

Still More New @ My CafePress Stores

NEW NEW NEW : CHM Design Store - Music Stuff & More : CafePress.com

Whew!

Cool, though. Just today CafePress surprised us shopkeepers with a load of new merchandise. We had not an inkling it was coming. It was added overnight.

So, needless to say, I have a whole lot more adding to do, but much of it is available in my CafePress stores right now. Of course, there will be much more to come as I can get it added.

Note that some of these items are already in the stores, with the new color choices now available. An example of this are the added colors for the Men's Dark T-Shirts: Navy and Khaki Green. These Dark T-Shirts are present now throughout my stores - you can simply check out these new colors right away.

Here's the specifics on the new colors and the new merchandise:

= Women's Long Sleeve T-Shirt - White
= Women's Long Sleeve Dark T-Shirt in Black also in ? (hey, I'm still learning, too!)
= Men's Long Sleeve Dark T-Shirt in Black or Navy or ?
= New Additional Color Choices for the Men's Dark T-Shirt - Navy, Khaki Green
= Men's Long Sleeve T-Shirt is now available in Ash Grey as well as the White

Check out the link up top for some examples of the new merchandise and new colors. See also the "Sales & Features" section on the storefront of the For Women Old Enough to Know Better store for examples of this news unique to that store.

= less new, but very recent: several new bass clef graphics
