Mystery T-Shirts from Hipstery | IDDICTIVE.COM | Innovative Business Ideas

If you’re tired of the usual shopping ritual of actually selecting what you want to buy, you might like to take a stab at letting someone else dress you.

Hisptery is the ‘home of the famous mystery shirt’. Instead of choosing your own tee, you simply select your size, answer a few questions and Hipstery’s t-shirt scientists use complex algorithms to select the perfect t-shirt for you.

Buyers don’t see their purchase until it arrives at their door – adding a little excitement to the retail process.

T-shirts cost €17 plus postage and are sourced from well-known tee sites like Threadless and Design by Humans – usually limited runs to ensure a little exclusivity:

“We specialize in rare shirts unavailable elsewhere, often they were available for just one day, or one week or for a limited number of designs. While they may be reprinted by their original provider, at the time that we send it to you, the shirt is usually unavailable elsewhere (you can inform us how important this is to you during the checkout quiz), or part of a limited run not to be reprinted. So they are rarer than sunny days in England.”

By adding a little fun and anticipation to the online shopping experience (and a healthy dose of humor via their website) Hipstery sets themselves apart from other t-shirt sites. How could you do the same with your chosen product or service?

Mistery Shirt - 1 fathom

Mistery Shirt


Today I was complaining about all the choices we have in a shop. I cannot choose and despite of all the choices there is nothing I like. Someone must have heard me complain about this because I've just read an article about an online shirt shop where you cannot choose your shirt.
Just a few things they want to know.
1. Male or female.
2. Size.
3. Which colour you really dislike.
4. Answer a few questions.
5. Your shirt will be send to you based on information above.

If you really hate the shirt they have send you, you can always send it back.

More information here.

Mystery marketing: why so compelling?

It's no secret that one of the best ways to create a marketing campaign that stays with people is to instil it with a story.

It needn't be particularly complicated, but something about it needs to be at once personally appealing and alluring enough for whoever is reading to want to know more.

Given the growing trend of using an element of 'mystery' online, it's no wonder that marketing agencies are beginning to incorporate it into their more complex campaigns.

How does the Hipstery work?

1. Pick a size, then take the checkout quiz to tell us about yourself.
2. Our t-shirt scientists select the perfect t-shirt for you.
3. You receive your mystery shirt, liking it so much you weep with happiness!

We believe in a world increasingly losing mystery through rampaging technological advancement we're forgetting how to enjoy the unknown, to take a chance. The Hipstery tee shirts maker is designed to address this.

The Hipstery – creating and leveraging Johari blind spots « Marketing, Economics, and the Web 2.0

The idea behind The Hipstery is simple. Instead of offering a bunch of t-shirts for customers to pick from, the company invites customers to fill in a survey. They then take these results, apply an “innovative style algorithm technology” to them, and select a t-shirt that seems to suit the customer. Think of it as a way to surprise yourself with a gift.

We’re cautious not to overstate what The Hipstery is actually doing here – the humorous tone of the site makes it appear that the algorithm might be part of a joke. But there’s no reason it need to be. We think the idea behind it points towards an interesting opportunity popping up all over the web.

Without getting into the details of the framework (which is where the Johari Window, among other things, comes in), the idea is to create “blind spot” – things you can no about your customers, but they don’t know about themselves – and capitalize on them. Doing so requires data, and analytical capability. We’ve already seen this happen in online dating – while sites like Facebook offered certain advantages over services like Match.com, it’s eHarmony that captured the blind spot opportunity (and found a business model). If you squint a bit, you can make the argument that The Hipstery model is to Threadless in the clothing industry what eHarmony is to Facebook in online dating.

There’s of course much more to the story than that. But the overall message is that The Hipstery is a very interesting company to check out, and many organizations should consider looking for their own “blind spot” opportunities to exploit.
