This is what you can expect when doing business with Shirtwascash.
We try to conduct ourselves in a way that upholds these values and expect others to reciprocate. Most don't realize that Shirtwascash has many and sometimes opposing needs from:
1. team members, time, and resources
2. brand perception and community reputation
3. freelancer and artist participation in value chain
4. managerial business requirements & accountability
5. complex, often manual, manufacturing inputs & limits
6. sales partner incentives, discounts, charitable contributions
...and our customers' awesome experience!
Business Values
This is the operating system that determines how and who we are compatible with as partners. By planting strong seeds, we generate worthwhile results.
-
We acknowledge it's natural to think short-term and be self-serving. Business decisions must understand each stakeholder and setup a fair outcome for all parties involved.
-
We always make the decision that upholds our Values. By prioritizing our own integrity, we build respect. Making decisions for other reasons can be counter-productive and often limits long-term potential.
-
Contracts are often necessary. They are an opportunity to align expectations and meet everyone's needs. Ignoring the realities of a relationship creates unnecessary opportunity to harm each other.
-
We are willing to address difficult problems. Resolving problems in-person and on the phone is often necessary for business relationships to operate. We prefer to address the hard problems early.
-
Trust and collaboration is our long-term strategy. Being able to point a finger at someone else when you both fail is pointless.
-
We are not in a race to the bottom. We are here to be original, surpass expectations, and do cool things.
-
Everyone is a work in progress. We accept that no one is perfect and that mistakes will be made. We are here to grow with anyone expressly compatible w/ these values or can publicly show their own.
Let's hang out.
