Spreadshirt continues to grow and is concentrating on partnerships and cooperative measures with the likes of CNN, Kellogs or The Sun in the UK. The key accounts from this business segment currently represents the strongest growth market for Spreadshirt and counts for half of Spreadshirts current revenue figures.
In the interview, Jana Eggers mentioned as well that with the LaFraise designer competitions, Spreadshirt raised 1.3 million euro which contributed to the estimated 21 million euro revenue of Spreadshirt.
Spreadshirt remains a good example of how a service oriented mindset is becoming increasingly important for e-commerce. Almost all mass customization companies have a strong service oriented component.
