BOOM into SEASON!

i-Create’s licensed apparel is about to BOOM into Season. No…not because of the July 4th Holiday, but because of Back-to-School season already in full mode. Orders since May (normally slow and off season) already picking up (#units way in the 5-digits) with an upwardly climb - better than last year during our introduction into many new retailers. This gives i-Create a positive, realistic, forecast into the next few months (Back-to-School and Fall & Early Winter Seasons) …especially that our licensed styles are on many more types of garments and combinations this year (not just short sleeve tees). We’re still going to celebrate the 4th. Happy Safe Holiday!

GUITAR SHIRT IS ROCKIN'


As part of a reoccurring cubical-fixture program, in one of the most popular retailers in the US, showcases one of our newest soon-to-be, best-selling, licensed styles. We wanted to show how it feels when the idea stage becomes a reality (from the actual idea, to the drawing board-cad, license number, to actual production, then into retail...and then into fixture program). Although this shirt recently made its debut and is one design in our massive 1000+ licensed styles - apparel program, we also have a few other sticking, best-selling, reoccurring licensed styles among the same program along with it that have a more mature stage in sales and reorders. This one particular shirt does “stand out” amongst the crowd and other related music shirts in the retailer. It has more of an artzy feel to it rather than just music and guitars. Plus, it looks so good on a Navy body. We salute you GUITAR SHIRT! Rock On!

2 NEW MOBILE CATEGORIES RELEASED


Okay…We know there are many graphic texture catalogs out there. Though this time, we tweaked our photographed textures with today’s hot color mix trends. It’s a HUE, SHADOWS, HIGHLIGHTS, SATURATION and COLOR LEVEL thing. We know it sounds a bit artzy pop…but we do know our trends and colors. We study them religiously daily, because we have to. We have to…because our apparel end has a 6 month prior lead time ahead of our launches. So we learn what’s going to be hot through some hard core research and shopping trends. For some that’s a hard forecast to align and get it right each time. But we do it…and hope we do it right each time. Most of the time…our track record shows success. That’s just years of experience and compulsiveness. So we apply this theory to our mobile content. It used to be the other way around. Funny how it’s turned. These look hot and colorful as we tested them on many screen sizes before launch. On the Urban Crash Mix end…well, we are up to our 5th Volume. All of the above combined host around 120 wallpapers. This was a real fun production and we are proud of it.

LICENSED UNDER RETAILER'S PRIVATE LABEL

While we are already on the shelves in this particular retailer with a top seller (t-shirt) in the music fashion end…i-Create lands another licensed design (its spinoff surf-lifestyle version - being tested), now among and under this top US retailer’s own private label. This is exciting news. That’s all we can say for now…hush…hush!

GOING STRONG!


Our fashionably cool, colorful, urban and recent trendy released styles are a hit. Much of them getting uploaded onto topnotch carrier decks, onto highly exposed branded off-deck portals, onto popular distributed carrier subscription apps, and also independent (by theme) iPhone & iTouch apps. This includes their revolver spinoffs as well. It looks as if (the way we do it) that…skulls, motorcycles, autos, trucks, bmx, surf, skate, music, art, peace, hearts and graffiti…still have a big accepting audience. We may have revitalized the wallpaper market. We stand out as the new “IN” style. Why not, the apparel versions are a hit in many major retailers giving way for us to expect the wallpapers to continue to be a hit as well.
