The ShoeMoney Shirt Store Is ALIVE

by Jeremy Schoemaker on June 3, 2007 · 82 comments

After 1 year in development the shirt store is actually functional. (basically i been dinking around with various shopping cart stuff).

To kick it off for the next few days we are selling the famous white and new Women Babydoll t’s for 75% off ($1.25 apiece).

We have various shirts for all our companies… auctionads, nextpimp, shoemoney ;)

As of the time of this writing its only for people in the USA but by this time tomorrow we should have support for international shipping.

Well it’s about time, no doubt you’ll make a small fortune selling to all those clamoring for an auctionads shirt.

Cool shirts. I picked up a couple. One thing I noticed in the checkout was that it was showing FL tax, but I put in NE. No biggie.

Most people know me on the SE circuit as MC XXL. I’m sad there’s not more support for the larger SEO/SEM crowd. You sold us out Shoe. We thought you were going to keep it real. I’ll buy up what you got in 4X but don’t sleep on where you came from. 2 fingers homey.

Shoe,

How did you settle on oscommerce? I had just decided to use Cubecart. Did you look into them?

Thanks

I just got 3 shits (2 white and an auction ads). I was thinking about the limited edition black one, but $25 for a shit? No way! :P Nice work Shoe. I’ll be attending ISU (Illinois State University) next year going for my Major in Web Application Development and hopefully this will be some free advertising for ya :)

$5.00 is really cheap to be the final price. Where do you get them printed for so cheap?

i want to order, Do you ship to Malaysia ?

Thanks

42 Ingoal June 4, 2007 at 4:41 am

Two “problems”:

1. There’s something bugged up with the oscommerce install…I can’t select the proper state, probably because it contains special characters (namely “ü”), so I had to select another state that doesn’t contain special characters just to get an account…

2. 30$ shipping per Item? Is that the final price or will it change once you get your USPS account and all?!

any thoughts on making shirts for your families’ Fishing website too? I’m a big east coast fisherman myself.

49 DngloZ June 4, 2007 at 9:38 am

hehe keep in mind your paying 5$ and your advertising (usually you get paid to advertise), so for him its not really the profit (i doubt u can make profit from 5$/tshirt) but the advertisement… At least 10 people will ask you what the t-shirt means. Free advertisement for shoemoney :)

Reply

50 ToddW June 4, 2007 at 10:55 am

For 11 shirts it wants: $25.97
Seems high? Anyway to do UPS where shipping could be like $13 ? OR DHL even cheaper?

Reply

51 ShoeMoney June 4, 2007 at 11:03 am

still working on international shipping. It interfaces directly with USPS API to pull live rates although I think we will offer there 18$ anywhere in the world rate

Reply

52 ShoeMoney June 4, 2007 at 11:03 am

I fixed that thanks

Reply

53 Pete June 4, 2007 at 11:05 am

lol 25$/11 = $2.27 per shirt. How is that expensive?

Reply

54 ShoeMoney June 4, 2007 at 11:07 am

haha dude its been up less then like 12 hours! I dont even know what we have in stock.

The big shirts are a lot more cost and little demand. I will stock more as demand meets.

Reply

55 ToddW June 4, 2007 at 11:44 am

$25.97 for shipping only.

Sure, the shirts are a good deal but 26 bucks to ship 11 shirts that seems pretty darn pricey… but yeah around 3.xx per-shirt is still cheap ;)

56 Patrick June 4, 2007 at 12:24 pm

That is great, you have some male wearing your shirts… haha. You should put a hot woman in there wearing your shirts… I’d buy them ;)

from what I have read his international shipping is not available yet but it’s coming soon

58 SEO Blog June 4, 2007 at 1:07 pm

Ahh that makes sense. I worked in a tshirt shop for a while and I’m pretty sure we got them from the supplier for around that price and that was before we printed anything on them!

Great deal.

Shoe, hey you’re just like microsoft — getting the public to debug your code you ya! I am still trying to figure out what your angle is with this. You’ve told us you always have reason for stuff, so what’s the reason for the great deal on the shirts? :-)

66 Cena Fan June 4, 2007 at 2:11 pm

Any idea when the bigger XXL or bigger sizes are going to be available? I would love to wear some of these shirts to the SES here in Toronto but I’m not the lightest guy around… I know I know they have lower demand and cost more but comeon shoe help a brotha out :)

69 Cena Fan June 4, 2007 at 2:30 pm

True I hadn’t really thought about it that way, the $5 likely covers the cost of the t-shirt with maybe a $1 or less for profit..

It’s quite ingenius for branding purposes really, though people have been begging for t-shirts for as long as I’ve been visiting this blog so I guess Shoe is killing 2 birds with 1 stone, added exposure and giving us readers what we’ve been asking for..

LoL and the award for funniest misspelling goes to..

Reply

71 Cena Fan June 4, 2007 at 2:33 pm

Ya I think the key is quantity, the shipping price doesn’t go up much from 1 shirt to 2 shirts so if you divide the cost over 5-10 shirts then it’s easier to swallow then the cost for 1 shirt.

Reply

72 ToddW June 4, 2007 at 3:49 pm

Shipping was $5 for total order now :) Much nicer! :) :)

Wow I can’t wait for the shoemoney condom “we catch your Google” You can use that if you want.

For the people who don’t get the angle on this. Its about not only branding but link building for the store. BY offering t’s at that price he just got links for almost every freebie type site on the net+ every bloger that will write a post on how they got a cheap shirt from shoemoney. + All the soon to come shoemoney Ebay sales soon to come which will include page links to shoemoney which will increase his pr on this page during the next Google update which is in 2 to 3 weeks according to my figuring that will in turn increase his page rank from a pr6 to maybe a pr7 maybe a pr8. Pretty unique timing if you ask me. This guy is good at marketing follow his lead if you can’t figure it out for yourself.
