Saying Goodbye to Custom Rhinestone Shirts on Customized Girl

January 23, 2017February 16, 2017 CustomizedGirl Leave a comment

For years now, Customized Girl has been one of the few custom apparel websites to offer a true customization experience with rhinestones. Alas, all good things must come to an end.

Starting today, we are phasing out rhinestones as an option within our Add Text and Add Art tabs of the design center. Soon, it will no longer be possible to place orders with rhinestones.

This is an important update for all of our store owners and any of our customers with saved rhinestone designs in their accounts.

First, we’d like to say that we are going to keep making amazing custom shirts for a very long time. We’re growing every year. Things are good.

But trends in custom apparel decoration tend to come and go. To serve our customers and our store owners in the best possible manner, we have to keep up with these trends.

Custom rhinestones have been on the downward trend lately.

You know what’s on the upward trend? Custom metallic foil decoration. We’re adding silver, gold, and other metallic foil options to more and more items. People love it!

Back to rhinestones. This phase-out process is happening in several steps.

1. We’re removing all rhinestone-related content from our website.

2. Then we will archive our Rhinestone Font options.

When this happens, you will no longer be able to choose a Rhinestone font when you use the “Create” menu and start with a blank item.

If you find a design that uses Rhinestone text, you will still be able to customize and purchase it (until we get to step 4).

3. Then we pause all Rhinestone Art options.

4. Then we will starting updating the share status on all designs that use Rhinestones. The status will be changed to “Private”. After that, it will not be possible to place an order for those designs. If you try, you’ll see a warning that rhinestones are no longer supported. You will still be able to edit those designs and remove the rhinestone elements, and then re-save them. Once you do that, you can change the status back to “storefront”.

If you are a store owner, and you want to keep any of your current designs that use rhinestones, we urge you to follow these steps:

A. Log into your account and click on your rhinestone design.

B. Click Edit Design.

C. If it uses Rhinestone Text, click the Text Style menu and choose a different font. If it uses Rhinestone Art, click the Add Art tab and choose a different piece of art.

D. Click Save and you are good to go.

We recommend doing this in the next couple of weeks.

If you still like some bling on your custom shirts, we would like to recommend our Misses Relaxed Fit District Made Scoopneck Bling Tee. It has studs on the shoulders. You can add your own custom design to it, and we will print it in ink.

Customized Girl Storefronts Are Here!

May 13, 2014November 26, 2019 CustomizedGirl

We are very happy to unveil our new storefront program!

Customized Girl is a community of Statement Makers. We believe that women should be encouraged to express themselves and leave their mark on the world. We produce clothing and accessories that allow our customers to give voice to their ideals, opinions, jokes, and pretty much everything else. A while back we started our Statement Maker Interview Series to showcase some of the amazing things our customers and other remarkable women do to make a difference in the world.

We still felt like there was more we could do.

And that’s how we came up with storefronts. We’ve created Customized Girl storefronts to allow creative and enthusiastic people like yourself the chance to express yourself and be heard… all while making a little extra cash.

Customized Girl storefronts will allow businesses, brands, fashionistas, non-profit organizations, and most importantly, YOU the chance to sell your custom designed tees, tanks, sweats, accessories and more for extra money right in your own pocket!

What is a storefront?

A storefront is a place, a site hosted by Customized Girl, from which you can sell your custom designed apparel and accessories. This means you can use the art and fonts from our design center to create a new and unique design or upload your own photos and logos to create something from scratch! For every sale that comes out of your storefront, you will earn a royalty!

Who can open and start a storefront?

Anyone can! Simply create an account with Customized Girl. On the My Account page, you will see a link to Create a Storefront. Click that link!

I have a Customized Girl account, now what?

Once you’re on the My Account page, click the Create a Storefront link! Next, you will be able to create a store URL, title, and description. You can even upload your own logo! The next time you save a design, you will see an option to share that design on your storefront. That’s it!

What kind of royalty can I earn?

Our storefront royalty rates are based on specific items. Selling the same design on one shirt may earn your a higher royalty than another shirt. Right now, it ranges from 10% to 30%.

You will see the royalty rate on the product details page of every item and on the save page. When you save a design, you will see “The royalty rate for this item is __%”.

Tip: if you want to find low-priced items with high royalty rates, start with our line of Basic Tees. (Basic apparel comes in light colors.)

If you want to earn the highest possible dollar value per item, start with the more expensive brands, like American Apparel or Alternative Apparel.

How do I get paid?

We use PayPal™.

If you don’t already have a PayPal™ account, please create one. It’s easy and free. You will be asked to enter an email address. When you have earnings to redeem, simply go to My Account > Earnings and enter that same email address and click ‘redeem’.

You should wait to redeem your earnings.

Right now, you have to accrue $30 in earnings before you can redeem them. We encourage you to wait as long as possible (really let those earning pile up) before clicking redeem. This is because PayPal charges 2% per transaction, but with a max fee of $1.00. 2% of $50 is $1.00, so the more you let your earnings pile up past $50, the more you save.

If you have accrued less than that, but you plan on closing your storefront, please contact us for special arrangements.

What if someone customizes my design?

You still get paid. It doesn’t matter how much they change it. If they enter the design center through your design, and add something to their cart, you earn the royalty.

We will not allow another user to take your design and add it to their own storefront. Each design must be approved by a real human and we will watch out for this. If you notice someone copying your designs, please contact us right away: CGstores@eretailing.com.
