A few issues ago we touted the joy of Community involvement. Since then, we've been busy dreaming-up fun new ways of bringing Shopkeepers together. The goal is to let you do what you do best; Create, share, and learn. You've been doing your part too, as once again you've showed us your endless creativity with the 4th of July Infinistitch™ design contest. Now we're inviting you to do it again. Read on to learn about our latest design contest and our newest community feature. Plus find out where in the U.S. CafePress is headed next!

One great thing about the CafePress Community is that Shopkeepers are always willing to help other Shopkeepers succeed. To keep the dialog flowing we've added a new feature to the Community pages: Shopkeeper Tips. We're collecting and posting your ideas, insights, and ingenious methods for being a better Shopkeeper. Dive in, get inspired, and leave your thoughts. Got a tip to share? Send it to cptips@cafepress.com. The Community awaits your generous tips. |
CafePress is headed your way for our next Meet & Greet. Joining us for this special event is Imagekind -- our Seattle-based partner. We'll be sending out formal invitations shortly, but be sure to save the November 8th, 2008 date.
Meet & Greets are wonderful opportunities to connect with, network, and share ideas with local Shopkeepers in your area (as well as the CafePress team). Here's what past guests are saying: |
 |
"All of it was great! I came away with lots of great ideas, some were into place that night"
"I'm a noob so every little thing helps me advance with building a better store. Kudos to the team members & staff." |
