Sockprints Go HARD in Mississippi

As each pair of sockprints makes its way around the world we love hearing stories from our customers about the purpose of their orders and where the socks eventually land.  After printing two large orders for Jason Thompson from Fahrenheit Creative Group, we wanted to learn more about the socks we printed for the Go HARD campaign in Mississippi.  Jason shared with us that the Go HARD campaign supports students in middle school and high school stay in school and graduate.  HARD stands for:  Heart, Attitude, Resilience and Dedication.  The custom printed socks with the Go HARD logo are given to students at the campaign’s campus events to educate and drive home facts like, every 26 seconds a student drops out of school.  Go HARD is making a difference in Mississippi education and sockprints is thrilled to be a part of it! 

Thank you Jason for sharing your sockprints story with us and best wishes with the Go HARD campaign!  

 

  

Go HARD on campus events encourage students to graduate from high school.

 

30 Days of Gratitude

After reading a friend’s Facebook post today, I’m inspired to take her challenge of acknowledging one thing that I’m grateful for each day during the month of November.  I probably won’t post my gratitude list on Facebook every day, but I am going to take a minute away from the busy hustle and bustle to focus on one thing in my life in which I am grateful, for the next 30 days. 

Hmmm… Maybe I’ll create a few pairs of custom gratitude socks to remind me to take a moment and appreciate.  I also think some gratitude socks would make nice thank you gifts!  I think I’m on to something!

Day 1 – Family.  This one can (and I’m sure will) be broken down into several nuggets of gratitude throughout the month as I’m fortunate to have great family.  There’s mom, dad, kids, etc. and each one deserves a day of acknowledgement this month.  Here’s’ an old black and white photo of my parents on a pair of crew socks.  Maybe I’ll send his and hers socks to my folks this month as a little way to let them know that I’m thinking about them.  They’re awesome parents and grandparents, and I’m sure I could let them know how much I love them more often than I do.

Speaking of family and gratitude, I’m reminded of a time when my nephew’s pre-school teacher asked him what he was grateful for during a Thanksgiving program.  He responded confidently that he was grateful for chickens!  We busted up with laughter in the audience and wondered where on earth he came up with that one!  Perhaps he thought chickens were neglected since the buzz all month was about turkeys?  Who knows, but this pair of socks is inspired by my nephew Carter!

Day 2 – Not to jump ahead a day here, but I’m feeling pretty grateful for the opportunity to create custom socks for happy soles at Sockprints with my business partner and fellow mompreneur.  Our vision started on the sidelines of a soccer field while watching our daughters play.  We’ve gone from “soccer moms” to “sock-er moms!” 

We’re constantly amazed and amused by the fun custom sock creations our customers produce on our online store and we’re feeling pretty fortunate to get to do what we do.  If you haven’t had a chance to create your own custom socks at Sockprints or if you’re a big fan of ours and a repeat customer, we’re offering a 25% discount code this month to show our gratitude!  Enter GRATEFUL at checkout to receive your discount.

What’s on your gratitude list?  Share what you’re grateful for and enter our November Sockprints giveaway.  Two lucky winners will receive one set of 3 custom printed no-show or crew socks!  Enter below by telling us one thing on your gratitude list.  Winners will be selected on November 30, 2011 at 9pm pst.

Thank you in advance for participating in our November giveaway!  We’ll be even more grateful if you’ll “like” us on Facebook and if you’ll share this giveaway opportunity and our November coupon code with your friends and family via Facebook or Twitter!

Back to School

It's already the end of August, and we all know that means Back to School…

Shopping for books, school supplies, backpacks, lunch boxes, clothes, shoes and socks (of course) and more!  Completing forms, forms and more forms (registration, emergency contacts, lunch orders, PTA memberships – all in triplicate!)  Getting kids registered for fall sports and after school programs.  Figuring out carpool and so much more!  We already miss summer and it's not even over yet!

While sockprints may not be able to help you with carpool, we can help you create some cool new custom socks for your upcoming Back to School activities.  Take a peek at these new Back to School ideas.

In Southern California we are gearing up for a lineup of fall sports including football, soccer, volleyball, and cross country track.  Our socks are great for teams and fans alike to wear throughout the season.  We can personalize each pair of socks with player numbers and your team or school logo.  Why not print the team fight song on the side of a knee high?

Heading off to college?  We've got lots of ideas for personalized socks that are perfect for everyone from the freshman to PHD candidate!

Never created custom socks at sockprints before?  Here are a couple insider tips to explore.
