11/5: Apron upgrade

Introducing thick-cotton aprons in 4 delicious colors.

Spice up your holiday product offering with our all-new apron. Made from 100% cotton twill and featuring an ingenious drawstring and two super-wide pockets, it’s available in four eye-catching colors: navy, khaki, white and yellow. Rugged and durable, it’s sure to be a tasty treat for holiday-minded foodies. Here are its ingredients for success:

  • 100% heavy cotton twill
  • 32” long & 29.5” wide
  • 8″ x 10″ print area (centered)
  • Machine washable
  • 4 tasty colors: white, khaki, yellow, navy
  • Base price:
    • Light apron (white, khaki, yellow): $16.99 (previously $14.99)
    • Dark apron (navy): $17.99

If you already have aprons in your shop, the light colors will be added automatically (the default display color will be white).

But if you want to offer the navy apron, you’ll need to add it to your shop. Why? Because it’s dark apparel and requires a transparent image). To add the navy apron in your shop, simply use the “Bulk Add” tool, which adds it across all sections of your shop with just a few clicks. Here’s how:

  1. Go to Your Shops page and click on the shop
  2. Go to the Advance Features and click on Bulk Add Products
  3. Select the products you want to add
  4. Select the sections you want your product in
  5. Once you preview your products, select the Create Products link

Holiday shopping is heating up, so add the new aprons to your shop today!

TIP: They’re not just for the kitchen! To whet your appetite on all the possibilities, here are a few ideas on more uses for your aprons:

  • Cooking/baking/BBQ
  • Gardening
  • Painter/artist
  • Crafts/scrapbooking/sewing
