A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has liked, followed, or reacted to any of our posts or reels. I'll be honest, I usually don't pay much attention to likes and follows, and it's something I've been guilty of overlooking. But today, when I took a moment to check the numbers, I was genuinely taken aback and humbled. We might not be in the millions, or even tens-of-thousands, but where we are, WITHOUT ANY PAID ADS, is pretty amazing!
Eclektix Creates - Custom TShirts & Designs started from a meme made two years ago when someone said, "you should put that on a T-shirt." So, I did. Two years later, with over 100 designs under our belt, I'm still holding firm on not paying for any ads for the first three years. It's about building a foundation that's solid. I know it might seem a bit unconventional, especially when many new businesses rely on paid advertising to get noticed. I respect that approach, but for me, it didn't feel right. For me, what mattered most was building that foundation.
Every business needs customers, and customers are people. It doesn't matter where you're from, what color you are, what s*x you are, or what orientation you are... we are all people.
So, I just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for engaging with this page, for sharing, and for spreading the word about our designs and products sold through our Artist Shop on Threadless. In my experience, word of mouth is always the best marketing, far better than anything I could ever pay for.
I'm hopeful to keep this momentum going and stick around for a while, but it wouldn't be possible without every single one of you, and for that, I genuinely thank you!
🙏 Mary
