Sales and Growth Call for Opening New US Facility in 2012
Boston, MA – January 17, 2012 – In an uneven economic climate, Spreadshirt has a record-breaking sales month, a 129% growth rate in the US, and is opening another US production facility in 2012 in order to meet consumer and corporate demand.
Spreadshirt, the leading multi-channel clothing commerce platform for creating, buying and selling personalized apparel, is a global company with US headquarters in Boston, MA and a production facility in Greensburg, PA. Spreadshirt saw a record-breaking month in December, experiencing a 75% global growth rate comprising of 129% growth in the US and 52% growth in Europe.
Although these numbers are for December alone, they mirror Spreadshirt’s remarkable 4th quarter and transition into 2012 with the same speed and success. With profitable growth across all business units, initial figures are showing December revenue at $9.9 M and over 150,000 orders before Christmas.
“Spreadshirt’s growth in the US attests that our multi-channel platform, with its risk-free approach and quality offering, is really working for consumers and brands alike,” said Philip Rooke, CEO of Spreadshirt. “The Spreadshirt platform is becoming the market leader for businesses – our growth rates continue to accelerate and rapidly increasing volumes mean we will be opening another US facility to handle the demand. It’s already been a very exciting New Year for Spreadshirt.”
In addition, Spreadshirt also had a record-breaking day in December, which saw more than 12,000 orders in a single day! And although one week topped 80,000 orders, VP Sales and Marketing, NA, Mark Venezia, reports “The US numbers could have been even bigger, however we had to reduce marketing in order to meet the incredible demand in our Greensburg facility.”
Due to record-breaking growth numbers in the US and the expanding online marketplace for clothing, Spreadshirt will open a second production facility in the US in early 2012, which will in turn create more US jobs. And with more than 350 employees worldwide, Spreadshirt has continued to strengthen its team and was included on Inc’s annual 500|5000 list in 2011, which ranks the nation’s fastest growing private companies. With an efficient 2011 Holiday season now in the past, Spreadshirt expects to see the same level of growth and opportunities in 2012.
