assortment.
what does this mean?
Best Selling Items: Black Tees B/W Stripe Tees Green Tees
what goes where?
and why? We chose to focus on the bestsellers when laying out the assortment Black tees take priority shelving and have the most shelving. B/W stripe & Green tees are on either side of priority with large shelving.
*All packaged t shirts will be on the display table in front of the t shirt wall due to our display*
The rest of the assortment is spread out due to sales keeping the higher selling items towards the center of the shelves and the lower selling items in the corners and around the bestseller so they are still seen but not im prime selling real estate
new tech. Interactive voting screens so customers can vote on what quotes and tweets they think are funniest and should be printed on shirts. Screens playing a live anonymous feed of what people are sending into us so our customers can get the hottest and freshest tea in town.
Promotion. Southern Charm collab in which they promote our business to raise awareness. Also one cast member would be the first person nominated for a Roast (an event in which invited guests poke fun at a friend for a night and part of the proceeds go to various local charities) Instagram and Twitter used to engage customers by becoming the main channels to send us shit they’ve heard around Savannah. Additional advertising on Savannah pedicabs and bus stops help bring in tourist and create intrigue to people walking around town.

traveling tee.
Spill the tee would place vending machines selling their shirts in coffee shops at airports as well as a few customization kiosk for people to buy last minute gifts. Spill the Tee quotes placed throughout the Savannah Airport (escalators, checkout) to create intrigue for people coming into town. Travel retail would start out in the Savannah Airport, but then could expand to other cities as the company grows.
au naturale. After a competitor stirs up drama about the use of dye in tshirts, we make the decision to stop selling tshirts altogether and just become a coffee/tea shop. Why? Our brand can stand on its own without tshirts, the tees were just a tangible way for people to support our brand and once we are established they would become less crucial to our success. Spill the Tea would focus on hosting more events and transitioning the quotes from tshirts to coffee sleeves.
events. Host a Roast! Customers can rent out the space to roast a friend for birthdays and events. Custom tees available at each roast. Part of proceeds at each roast go to the roastee’s selected charity. Space available to private parties (engagement/birth announcements, bachelorette parties) so you can spill your own tea in our space.
