Tiny Little Monsters in St Louis, Missouri has set up an online store and fundraising scheme called Here For Good, which it is sharing with others in the industry; similar schemes have been set up across the US, such as the one by Shirts 101 in Lincoln, Nebraska. The idea behind the schemes is simple – sell branded T-shirts on behalf of local businesses as a way for the business’s loyal customers to support them while they’re closed. The model most are adopting state- side is to market the T-shirts via social media and sell them direct to customers via the print shop’s webshop for $20, with $10 from the sale going to the local business and $10 going to the print shop. By 7 April, Tiny Little Monster had sold more than 3,000 shirts, generating $30,000 in sales donations delivered directly to the participating businesses. imagesmag.uk/hereforgood imagesmag.uk/101shirts Tiny Little Monsters has launched the fundraising campaign Here For Good GS UK has appointed Andrew Young to its service engineering team.
