What do you love best about being a CreateMyTee Campus Rep?

I love thinking about the different people and groups who would be interested in t-shirts, and creating a plan of attach for making the sale!

What are your plans post graduation?

I plan on trying out for a practice squad with a football team.  Practice squad QBs have the best jobs in the world!

What is your number one tactic when it comes to Making Shirt Happen?

Asking questions.  Always communicating with the CreateMyTee Legends: Nick, Josh, Steve, and Joe.

What are your goals as a CreateMyTee Rep?

I would like to have continued success as a Rep, and treat each customer with the respect they deserve.

Which one of your orders is your most memorable?  Why?

No comment!... ***Side note: One of Spencer's first orders was a skosh underquoted -- but we made the customer extremely happy, and we're sure they will be back!

Life is good and I am lucky to be a part of the CreateMyTee Crew!

Her name is Haleigh Turner and she attends Monmouth College in Illinois.  She is extremely active in her Sorority (Pi Beta Phi), she prefers coffee shops to pubs, and she is a co-anchor for MCTV, Monmouth's Campus news station.  Haleigh has been an amazing CreateMyTee Rep, accumulating over $5000 in T-shirt sales at Monmouth College.  Saying that we are happy to have Haleigh on board would be an understatement -- We are absolutely TEElighted!

What do you love best about being a CreateMyTee Campus Rep?

I work when I want as much as I want. When I am walking down the hall way on my way to class and I hear someone talking about tees I know it is time to get to work, and that is when the magic begins!

What are your plans post graduation?

I would love to either work at a college or as an anchor at a news station!

What is your number one tactic when it comes to Making Shirt Happen?

Making customers feel comfortable. Letting them know that they have a Rep right here on Monmouth College campus and they are not just communicating with a computer puts them at ease.

What are your goals as a CreateMyTee Rep?

I want to keep Monmouth College and all my other customers happy with amazing tees at amazing prices.

Which one of your orders is your most memorable?  Why?

Monmouth College Greek Week! I had to encourage the group as they were looking at vendors to really check into CreateMyTee even though they thought they could find better prices... but no sir.. CreateMyTee was the best and the shirts look amazing!

Any last words?

I am a CreateMyTee Rep... pretty amazing statement :)

Who is Oscar Sanchez?

All-Time Order Total: 9

School: Monmouth University (NJ)

His name is Oscar Sanchez and he is a T-shirt selling behemoth!  Oscar attends school at Monmouth University in New Jersey where he majors in Communication with concentrations in Public Relations and Journalism... Oh, and he minors in Information Technology and Business Administration.  Educated?  Yes!  When Oscar isn't helping customers MAKE SHIRT HAPPEN, you can find him fist pumping at the clubs on the Jersey Shore!  Oscar has been an extreme asset to the CreateMyTee Team, and we're extremely grateful to have him as a CreateMyTee Rep!

What do you love best about being a CreateMyTee Campus Rep?

I love the networking I get to do! I've already met so many people who heard from one of their friends that I work with CreateMyTee and are interested in placing an order. It's pretty cool to know that your name is buzzing around campus.

What are your plans post graduation?

I want to obtain a job as an event coordinator at either a PR firm, something in the entertainment business, or even the corporate world.

What is your number one tactic when it comes to Making Shirt Happen?

Meeting with people is great. If you can take 10 minutes out of your schedule and just sit there and navigate the website it really helps. Also, show them what you've done! With a few orders in my back pocket I sort of pull out the portfolio and people become so interested in getting shirts for their organization.

What are your goals as a CreateMyTee Rep?

I want to reach 50 orders before I graduate. I have two more years, I'm sure I could make it happen.

Which one of your orders is your most memorable?  Why?

Springfest! For a few reasons, good and bad. The graphic designer came up with an AWESOME proof combining our school's mascot with the Statue of Liberty. I was in love. Unfortunately the school denied any changes to our logo (the bad part :[ ). But the final design looks great and I'm sure the school will love it when they see it!

I love being a CreateMyTee Rep!

Who is Christine Reynolds?

All-Time Order Total: 5

School: Lafayette College (PA)

Her name is Christine and she knows exactly how to MAKE SHIRT HAPPEN!  Christine Reynolds is an English Writing and Studio Art Double Major at Lafayette College in Easton, PA.  When Christine isn't providing her campus with the best custom t-shirt creating experience in the history of the world, you can find her playing ultimate frisbee or perfecting her craft as a Graphc Designer.  Christine is an awesome person with a knack for taking good care of people.  We couldn't be happier to have her on board as a CreateMyTee Rep!

What do you love best about being a CreateMyTee Campus Rep?

I love how free the schedule is to work--I have met with customers in the morning, afternoon, and even 10 o'clock at night.  It's perfect for my busy and inconsistent schedule.  Because I also want to go into design after graduation this May, I really enjoy helping my clients reach an amazing design for their garments.

What are your plans post graduation?

I'm looking for jobs currently and then maybe grad school in a year or two.  I am looking to go into advertising or graphic design.

What is your number one tactic when it comes to Making Shirt Happen?

Keeping in constant contact!  If I haven't heard back from a potential customer in a while, I am sure to reach out to them again quickly.

What are your goals as a CreateMyTee Rep?

Aside from making a lot of money, I really want to keep up'ing my own numbers each month.  That "Stat Board" really amped up my desire to move higher on it!

Club, pub, or coffee shop?

It's a hard choice because I love all the options, but the pub is probably where I'm most drawn.  After spending a year studying abroad in Ireland, how could I not be?

Which one of your orders is your most memorable?  Why?

There is an campus-wide celebration the day before finals week begins, so I designed jerseys for the event for my sorority sisters.  The girls got really excited about the custom names we decided to print on the back--we used our funny and ridiculous nicknames to make the jerseys that much more special to each member!  

Any last words?

This job is so cool.  I love it :)

Who is Eddie Smith?

Rep Since: 1/3/2011

All-Time Order Total: 17

School: Eastern Illinois University

His name is Eddie and he is a MONSTER!  Eddie Smith is a Corporate Communications major at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Il.  When Eddie isn't steady slingin' tees on Eastern's campus, you can find him coordinating concerts, enjoying the casual adult beverage, or studying his butt off to become "Dr. Smith III" -- That just looks awesome, doesn't it?  Eddie hopes to pursue a career in event planning, while further expanding his amazing entrepreneurial adventures.  No matter what Eddie decides to do in the future, he will succeed.  Guaranteed!  

What do you love best about being a CreateMyTee Campus Rep?

I love the flexibility and all of the people I get to interact with around campus and in the community.

What are your plans post graduation?

I plan on staying in the area where my school is (Charleston, IL) and get a job through the university. Then I can continue my education hopefully and become Dr. Smith III.

What is your number one tactic when it comes to Making Shirt Happen?

My number one tactic to Make Shirt Happen is the confidence I resonate when I talk to people about Making Shirt Happen. I also give my customers a reason to come back.

What are your goals as a CreateMyTee Rep?

I want to eventually make the shirts for every Greek organization on campus. This would be awesome!

Club, pub, or coffee shop?

Pub or Club! More likely the pub though, I enjoy the casual brewhah!

Which one of your orders is your most memorable?  Why?

My most memorable order was for my fraternity's Crush Dance. We had the worst storm Illinois has seen in a long time and UPS didn't deliver one business day of the week because of it. I was on my A game trying to figure out how to make things better. It all worked out though and the shirts were awesome. I have some action pics on my Facebook.

I LOVE MY JOB AS A CreateMyTee.com Campus Rep!

Rep Since: 12/1/2009

Order Total All Time: 99

School: Albion College

Heather is a Senior Organizational Communications Major and the CreateMyTee Campus Rep at Albion College in Albion, Michigan.  Heather is very active in her Sorority, Alpha Xi Delta.  She is also Albion College's Greek Week coordinator for 2011.  Heather enjoys horseback riding and wishes that instead of ridiculously large commission checks, CreateMyTee paid her in Trident Layers... Maybe next time, Heather!  As a CreateMyTee Rep, Heather has been nothing short of fantastical.  With ALMOST 100 orders (probably 110 by the time you read this) Heather remains the NUMBER ONE Campus Rep of ALL TIME!

What do you love best about being a CreateMyTee Campus Rep?

Working with CreateMyTee has been one of the best jobs I have gotten to have during college. I love talking to people about the company, and how easy it is to order T-Shirts. CreateMyTee is definitely the dominant T-Shirt company on campus, so it's nice to see that basically every T-Shirt the students are wearing is something I remember helping with. The people that run the company are more than helpful, which makes it so much easier to get the job done and assist customers as soon as possible.

How has being an Alpha Xi Delta helped you to become an amazing Campus Rep?

The women in my chapter have been nothing but supportive of me and my job at CreateMyTee. They always order from CreateMyTee, and many of them are great at letting other people know about CreateMyTee as well. Our campus is pretty well connected, so a majority of the women in Alpha Xi Delta are also in other clubs and organizations on campus, most of which we supply T-Shirts too!

What are your plans post graduation?

I'm hoping to attend Eastern Michigan. I have applied for the Masters in Human Resources and Organizational Development program, so wish me luck!

What is your number one tactic when it comes to Making Shirt Happen?

I really like working with people, so making sure that I meet with people about their orders has helped me more than anything else! Making sure everyone knows about the company has been a big tactic as well, because once people know what the company is, and who you are they're going to know to talk to you when they have questions about ordering shirts.

What are your goals as a CreateMyTee Rep?

I have really enjoyed being a Rep for the past year. I started in January of 2010, and my goal was to get 100 orders by the time I was done with school. I'm at 99!

Club, pub, or coffee shop?

Definitely pub. I'm from a small town where there aren't clubs, and there is only 1 coffee shop. That doesn't mean much to my answer, but I'd still say pub.

Which one of your orders is your most memorable?  Why?

Probably the Jessie's Gift shirts for the Sigma Nu and ATO charity basketball game. The shirts didn't mean as much as what they represented, and it was a really small order, but I'd say thats the most memorable order I've had. Jessie's Gift is Sigma Nu's philanthropy at Albion, which honors one of Sigma Nu's sweethearts, Jessie Longhurst. After Jessie passed away, Sigma Nu and her family teamed up to raise money for the children in Albion. Being only a small part of this event was very meaningful and memorable, not to mention all the guys at CreateMyTee are Albion Sigma Nu alums!

What do you love best about being a CreateMyTee Campus Rep?

Aside from working for the coolest business ever, I really like talking to new people about CreateMyTee.

What are your plans post graduation?

I'm thinking about going to grad school, but I still have a little time to think about it. If not, I'll probably marry rich, divorce young and become a cougar. It's all still up in the air for now.

What is your number one tactic when it comes to Making Shirt Happen?

The Closet. Sometimes people have ideas, but there's something holding them back. Letting them see what we've done for others helps them have confidence in a new company. Also, I really like talking to the other reps and getting ideas. The rep squads are great for that.

What are your goals as a CreateMyTee Rep?

To become a Ridiculously Nasty BADASS Boss Rep.

Club, pub, or coffee shop?

Pub. I TA for a dance class on campus, but I just can't quite pop, lock and drop it in the club scene. As for coffee, I meet my coffee quota each year during finals week.

Which one of your orders is your most memorable?  Why?

The first one. It was only six pieces, but it felt like SUCH an accomplishment.

What do you love best about being a CreateMyTee Campus Rep?

The thing I love the most about being a CreateMyTee Campus Rep is the flexibility and freedom you have with every customer you interact with.  There are a million different things each person can do with CreateMyTee and it's cool to check out what people are getting shirts for.  It's fun and easy, and helps make a name for the company and yourself on campus!

Which one of your orders is your most memorable?  Why?

My most memorable tee shirt order to date has been the design that I came up with myself for homecoming this year: They had the Man v. Food Logo but it was a Man v. Homecoming design and the back had two different size boots of beer with the saying "Size DOES Matter."  It was a lot of fun making and selling them.  I had heard a lot of good feedback from them and it was cool to see the football stadium filled with my shirts and it's still cool to see them on campus every now and then.

School: University of Pittsburgh

Veronica joined us in the dead of summer, not exactly the greatest time for a college student to peruse a campus for groups and organizations in need of custom apparel. However, Veronica stepped up to the plate and found ways to Make Shirt Happen regardless of location and time of year. Is it her amiable approach to new students on campus? Is it her experience in marketing? Or, is it her ability to karate chop two-by-fours with her bare knuckles? It's probably all three combined to create a win/win situation for anyone she interacts with.

What do you love best about being a CreateMyTee Campus Rep?

The freedom!

What's your major?

Marketing.

What are your plans post graduation?

Noooo idea and I don't plan on figuring it out until my last semester!

What is your number one tactic when it comes to Making Shirt Happen?

Be open, friendly, and approachable! Students are more inclided to talk to you that way!

What are your goals as a CreateMyTee Rep?

CreateMyTee has never been introduced on Pitt's campus, so my main goal is to get the word out about how great CreateMyTee is!  The more students hear about it and see the product the more they'll be willing to try out (and LOVE) CreateMyTee!

• Intern Spotlight: (1 of 3)

Today is day 3 of Spotlighting interns. We've seen the humorous elements of Michael and the sophisticated side of Tyler in part 1 and 2. Last but not least, we offer you the versatile side of Spencer Krauss.

Who is Spencer Krauss?

Spencer helps with marketing when he's in our office but throws balls around when he's not. Spencer is a Professional Management major. His life ambition was torn in two (literally) when he watched a full ride to Stanford get ripped away after blowing his knee out the summer before starting college. Ouch!

Since then, he's settled into a slightly smaller (but still admirable) spotlight as quarterback for the Albion College football team. A new life goal has also immerged: to make the Chicago Bears kick-off team.

What do you hope to get out of your experience at CreateMyTee?:

I hope to learn about working well as a team. I'm also looking forward to gaining experience in Sales and Marketing along with enjoying my time around the great people that work here.

Favorite President:

Abe Lincoln

Club, Pub or Coffee Shop?:

Club over pub and coffee shop.

Extracurriculars?:

Extracurriculars include: being a quarterback, weightlifting(I lift things up and put them down), running, watching South Park, and spending time with my girlfriend.

2nd favorite president?:

Second favorite president=Bill Clinton

What drives you?:

God has given me a million opportunities to make other people's days and that is what drives me to get out of bed....most of the time.

If you could have brunch with one person (living or deceased) who would it be and why?:

If I could have brunch with one person, that person would be Rich Gannon, former NFL MVP Quarterback for the Oakland Raiders.

As we mentioned yesterday, CreateMyTee loves fresh faces, particularly those of interns. Yesterday, in part 1, we sent Michael Baker to the Spotlight. Today we shine a light on the second of three interns helping Make Shirt Happen from the CreateMyTee Headquarters. His name is Tyler Yake. Remember the name because we know you wont forget the face. He hails from Iron Mountain in the Upper Peninsula, loves freezing cold temperatures and analyzing utilization rates.

Who is Tyler Yake?

Tyler is a junior at Albion College majoring in Economics and Management. His career goal is to do business consulting or finance... A fair assumption for someone with his background. On the other hand, Tyler definitely gives preference to "the club" over the pub. Not so typical for a business man. Or is it?

What do you hope to get out of your experience at CreateMyTee?:

A working experience and relationship that benefits both my own career aspirations and the company...and an awesome time hanging out with the Crew!

Who is your favorite president of all time?:

What types of extracurriculars are you involved in on/off campus?:

Sigma Nu (Treasurer), Investment Club, Gerstacker Institute for Professional Management.

Favorite color?:

Turquoise. I'm not joking.

Who is your second favorite president of all time?:

Grover Cleveland

Hobbies?:

Sports, exercising, reading, enjoying the outdoors and making Shirt Happen.

Favorite food?:

Tie between pizza and Mexican.

What drives you to get out of bed in the morning?:

If you could have brunch with one person (living or deceased) who would it be and why?:

Warren Buffett, I'd love to learn some his success secrets.

CreateMyTee loves fresh faces. Last week, three new faces joined us at our headquarters in Ann Arbor. Having college interns is probably one of the greatest things to have, ever. First to step into the spotlight is a 21 year old fresh out of the gate. His name is Michael Baker. He's majoring in General Business (one of the vaguest answers you can give, we know). But when it comes to knowing what he likes to eat, he isn't so general.

Who is Michael Baker?

Michael is the newest intern to join the CreateMyTee Crew. His career ambition is ultimately to end up doing something he loves.  Right now, he loves writing and producing his own radio show at Albion College. If he could have brunch with one person (living or deceased) it would be Tom Selleck. Why? So that he could ask him one question, "What's the deal with your mustache?  Like, do you keep it because you like having a mustache, or is it because of Magnum P.I.s success as a prime time television show?  I think people like your mustache.  When they see it they say things like, 'hey, that guy has a mustache,' and, 'isn't that the guy from Three Men and a Baby?' "

What do you hope to get out of your experience at CreateMyTee?:

"Experience, friendships, notches on my professional belt, my feet in doors."

Who is your favorite president of all time?:

"William Henry Harrison.  He was only president for 31 days before he died of pneumonia and pleurisy.  I don't feel as though he gets enough love."

Club, Pub, or Coffee Shop?:

"Pub, unless of course you're talking about an Irish Coffee Shop."

What types of extracurriculars are you involved in on/off campus?:

"I've been doing a radio show for about 2 years at Albion. I'm also a member of Hillel."

Hidden talents?:

"I know I have some, but I can never find them."

Who is your second favorite president of all time?:

"Chester A. Arthur.  The amount of dedication that went into growing those mutton chops is astounding."

Hobbies?:

"Writing, reading, collection records."

Favorite food?:

"A hamburger with pickles, lettuce, and green olives from Casey's Tavern in Ann Arbor.  Don't forget the steak fries."

What drives you to get out of bed in the morning?:

"The Howard Stern show."

Who is Alison Schultz?

Alison is a CreateMyTee Artist who works directly with customers that need professionally created designs. She's lived all her life here in the wonderful state of Michigan. She is a graduate of Spring Arbor University with degrees in both Graphic Design and Marketing. Currently, she works full time doing graphic design in Jackson, MI while creating custom apparel designs for CreateMyTee. When Alison is not doing freelance work, you can find her backpacking with her husband, beekeeping, reading, or trying new foods.

CreateMyTee: Name two of your favorite designs created with your customers?

Alison: My 2 favorite shirts I've helped customers design are the Dragon Shirt and the Powder Puff shirt. It was really hard to pick though, because there are a lot of great designs and T-shirts that go through this place. The submitted artwork for the the dragon shirt was a really nice pencil drawing scanned in. I traced every line to make the elaborate image exactly the way they wanted. It took a lot of time, but it turned out great. The Powder Puff shirt is just fun and had different typography with a little bit of ruggedness going on.

CreateMyTee: What's your favorite aspect of being a CreateMyTee Artist?

Alison: I really love working for CreateMyTee. I love working one on one with customers and I love designing shirts for people. I also love seeing the new ideas and designs that people submit. Our customers have the sweet ideas, and I bring it to life by Making Shirt Happen.

Jake: It’s just cool when you get to see awesome shirt designs. Also, it's rewarding when you see tons of people walking around in a shirt that you had a part in making.

CreateMyTee: What is your number one tactic when it comes to Making Shirt Happen?

Jake: Wearing cool stuff all the time, and spreading the word of the company through word of mouth. If you have style, people are more likely to want to buy from you.

CreateMyTee: What are your goals as a CreateMyTee Rep?

Jake: Make $$$ and create a large network of connections.

CreateMyTee: If you were a mythical creature, what would you be and why?

Jake: WHAT?! I would be some combination of a Chocolate Starfish and a Pheonix. The Starfish is just so awesome looking, and the Pheonix lasts forever.

CreateMyTee: Which one of your orders is your most memorable?  Why? 

Jake: Probably the one I did for my grandpas 89th birthday party. It was a lot of fun and I’ll have the shirt to remember it forever. He loved it.

Jake is on the verge of breaking 20 orders since becoming a Campus Rep. If you would like to contact Jake for Rep advice or live in the New York area and need to purchase custom apparel, email him at schonj2@rpi.edu. Jake is a friendly guy, there’s nothing to worry about!

Who is Joshua Buchanan?

As a professionally trained CreateMyTee graphic designer, and self trained artist, Joshua works to bring illustration back into the realm of custom designed apparel. He loves drawing type from scratch, creating new typefaces, and integrating his illustrations into his design work.

There's never a time that he's not drawing, because in his off hours, he writes and illustrates his own small press comic book, "The Rocket".

When there's no drawing happening, Josh is studying the forms and mediums of the comic book, typography, and graphic design.

Who is Vickie Dyke?

Vickie owns Varsity Town USA, a retail store in Vermilion, Ohio that caters to 2 local school districts as well as TOURISM apparel during the summer months. She opened the store in 2005 but moved to a downtown location in 2007. She is originally from New Jersey, has lived in Ohio for 29 years and is a mother of two.

CreateMyTee: What do you love best about being a CreateMyTee Campus Rep?

Vickie: I love being able to give the customer a price within minutes but also I love that I am able to give the customer ARTWORK that will blow my competition away! The proofs are so professional looking! I love that once my customer receives the apparel, they can't wait to order some more. The experience is better than they anticipated!

CreateMyTee: How long have you owned your own store?

Vickie: I just celebrated my 5th year as a business owner and my 3rd year with a storefront.

CreateMyTee: Has being a Rep helped drive traffic to your business?

Vickie: Yes, I post different proofs from The Closet onto my FB page or on Varsity Town's BLOG... I pick designs that I know will touch a nerve with the high school market here in Vermilion since my store mainly carries Spiritwear for the local school district in Vermilion. The kids get excited when they see proofs! I have always had people come into the storefront and ask if I could do custom screen printing. Before my relationship with CreateMyTee, I would send them to a local screen printer. If they had a previous bad experience with that screen printer, they would just leave and neither one of us would get the order. Now, I turn them onto the CreateMyTee site, or help place the order for them.

CreateMyTee: What is your number one tactic when it comes to Making Shirt Happen?

Vickie: Emphasizing the ease of the site... emphasizing the empowerment the customer feels when their idea for a design comes to reality in less than 24 hours!

CreateMyTee: What are your goals as a CreateMyTee Rep?

Vickie: To meet Mr. Hands and sell as much as he does!

CreateMyTee: If you were a mythical creature, what would you be and why?

Vickie: Not much into mythology....  But something very wise... young & beautiful! HA!

CreateMyTee: Who is your favorite astrophysicist? 

Vickie: William Herschel

CreateMyTee:  How can we help you to be even more successful as a Rep?

Vickie: You already provide great service. You have allowed me some leeway when I need special service... So I really can't think of what more you can do for me! You are great!

CreateMyTee: What is one thing you would like to see added/changed with the CreateMyTee Rep Program?

Vickie: I really am happy with your Rep program and I can't really think of anything I would like to change... I just need to get out of the store more often and get the word out there about this great relationship!

Favorite CreateMyTee Designs:

Vermilion XC Invitational Tees: "They had an idea, but I was allowed to run with it and get creative.  I liked the way this turned out and the fact that I had full reign over the design was pretty cool."

RPI AGD Shirts: "I took a little extra work to get the idea to come around, but the design ended up looking how the customer wanted which is always a good thing."
