Mode verfolgt bekanntermaßen zwei Intentionen:

Zum einen kleidet sie Menschen, mal mehr, mal weniger stilvoll, und zum Anderen, und das ist der, wie ich finde, weitaus wichtigere Aspekt: Mode soll Spaß machen! Das dachten sich womöglich auch die Gründer der Homepage „hipstery.com- Home of the Mystery T-Shirt“, als Sie sich dazu entschlossen haben, den Konsumenten zu „entmündigen“ und lieber zu überraschen.

Das Prinzip ist denkbar einfach und doch unglaublich spannend, amüsant und verblüffend! Kurz, man gelangt in drei Schritten zum Glück, äh, zu einem neuen T-Shirt. Mysteriös ist die Sache, denn man weiß, bis der DHL oder UPS Mann zweimal klingelt nicht, was für ein T-Shirt in dem Päckchen ist. Man hat bis Dato wirklich nicht den geringsten Plan. Weder Farbe noch Aufdruck sind bekannt. Nahezu alles ist möglich! Also, um wieder auf den einzigartigen Prozess des Bestellens zurückzukommen. Man(n und Frau) durchläuft drei Schritte zur neuen Klamotte: Erstens muss entschieden werden, ob das gute Stück für einen selbst oder eine Freundin oder einen Freund sein soll. Gleich darauf geht’s in die Tiefenpsychologie. Denn nun müssen fragen zu Vorlieben und Charaktereigenschaften beantwortet werden, die den hipstery-Stylos verraten, welche Art an Oberbekleidung für den Endverbraucher das richtige ist.

Sich beim Schenken selbst überraschen

Der Berliner Hipstery Science and Mystery Shop bietet super Geschenkideen und zeigt dem stationären Handel, dass Einkaufserlebnis auch anders geht.

„Schenken wir uns eigentlich etwas zu Weihnachten?“, frage ich meinen besten Kumpel am Telefon. Ich zittere etwas. Nicht vor Kälte, sondern vor Aufregung. Ich stehe vor dem neu eröffneten Berliner T-Shirt-Laden The Hipstery mit einer frischen Einkaufsjutetüte in der Hand. Darin: Das perfekte T-Shirt für meine Schwester. Sie wird sich freuen, bestimmt. Aber mein Freund, er würde sich in die Hose machen vor Freude. Ich will zurück in The Hipstery. Ich muss. 

Eigentlich wollte ich in einen anderen Laden. Aber Doktor von Tinkel hat mich mit seiner 3D-Brille sofort durchleuchtet, hypnotisiert und ... (weiter lesen)

This is Maddie here, blogging for KatyShops. Usually, I would not be a guest, but my mom is feeling a little under the weather. So, I decided to share one of my latest and greatest finds-The Hipstery. This company in Eastern Germany has taken t-shirts to a whole new level. With “liberating you from the burden of choice” being their mission statement, The Hipstery has made choosing which t-shirt to buy a breeze. For around $24, you can take a short, but accurate, quiz to determine which t-shirt the company will send you. This might sound a little scary, with a foreign company sending you a mystery t-shirt, but it is well worth it. These shirts come from companies in Europe and are usually t-shirts that the company has stopped manufacturing. So, your shirt will definitely be one of a kind! I just ordered one, and after waiting for about a week, it arrived. And, I’m happy to declare it a great buy! It matched my personality to a tee. Plus, if you order from The Hipstery now, they are offering free shipping for everyone in celebration of their 1st birthday!

Hipstery

A concept that’s a bit zany needs a zany website, and Hipstery certainly has that with its psychedelic Leave it to Beaver vibe. The site allows users to take a quiz about their likes and dislikes and then receive a mystery t-shirt in the mail.

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 07:03:00 -0700 spa blog: How to Create a GREAT Customer Service Experience http://thehipstery.posterous.com/spa-blog-how-to-create-a-great-customer-servi http://thehipstery.posterous.com/spa-blog-how-to-create-a-great-customer-servi

How to Create a GREAT Customer Service Experience

If you watched my first ever video blog (you didn't? check it out HERE), you'll know that I was a little let down when I ordered a shirt from The Hipstery and they got it a bit wrong. The basic concept is that they ask 6 different various questions (some of which are different every time) and send you a mystery shirt in the mail (for a small fee of course). You have no idea what it will be until you open up the package.

One of the questions that I answered was, "What color of shirt do you NOT want?" I answered black. I received a black t-shirt. Bummer.

Not so great customer service you say. Why are you posting this as GREAT customer service? you say. Because the story doesn't end there.

It seems that someone from The Hipstery is given the task to cull the web for posts like mine - talking about The Hipstery. Not only did they post a comment here on the blog, but they followed up by sending me this great email:

Salutations Andy,

As promised here is your apology gift voucher. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to try our service, and to blog about it so passionately (although the heartbreak as your open the black shirt was hard to watch, although you masked it quite well, I had to look away a little bit, then I was chewing on my fist, it all got a bit intense for me, we don't like anything less than 100% delighted patrons.

The gift cert is attached, use it like a coupon code, or give it away to your readers, up to you. Some questions are different each time, so you probably didn't get the desert island one the first time. No we don't buy overstock, we're just like a normal reseller for the t-shirt brands that we appreciate and like to promote.

Anything else I can help you with let me know.

Dr Willem

Pretty cool, huh. He/She actually took the time to answer a question or two I had in the video, AND sent the coupon...which I want to pass on to one of you. And I will, by giving it to the best story of how you created a GREAT customer service experience for your client - just post a comment below.

ALSO, don't forget that we are running a contest on the spa FB page - how are you creating an online experience for your senior clients? Top five ideas gets a free t-shirt from spa (one of which being the now infamous black shirt from The Hipstery).

MC Alternative I: Hipstery's match-to-order system

Hipstery_sticker_thumb Long-time readers of my blog will remember Adam Fletcher (and everyone interested in t-shirts will know him anyway). We had a wonderful cooperation when he was still working for Spreadshirt and directed the OpenLogo contest (and before, when he was writing his master's thesis on a very educated comparison of customization of shirts and Threadless' crowdsourcing model).

After some time travelling, Adam came back and opened Hipstery.com, a small venture that is very anti-customization in a way, but also somehow very pro-personalization in another.

His idea: Head to his nice retro-design website, answer a brief questionnaire on the net, and his magic algorithm (his stomach, I suppose) will pick exactly the graphic t-shirt that is right for you. He wants to take away the burden of choice (in a standard t-shirt shop) or the burden of co-creation (on a mass customization site) and to substitute it with a short survey on your needs.

I participated and got a really nice shirt I like. Calling this model "consumerism criticism", as the German weekly DER SPIEGEL did, is probably wrong. On the contrary, it is a very nice business model: Adam get's the overstock from nice t-shirt companies, adds the personalization magic and a very well done, very humorous and nice shopping process, and creates a great customer experience – and sells the shirts at a premium.

Hipstery ist, wie man oben schon lesen kann, eine Art T-Shirt-Überraschungsei. Größe auswählen, add to cart, bissle was von sich preisgeben, also z.B. welche Blumen man schön findet…

…oder mit was man hier d´accörchen geht…

…und schwupps legen die Hipstery Graphiker los. Shirt kostet 19,90 Dollar, Versand kein Plan. Florian hat den Selbsttest gestartet, vielleicht zeigt er uns auch noch das Ergebnis.

Der Erfinder Adam Fletcher hat SPON auch schon ein Interview gegeben.

The Hipstery
The Hipstery
The Hipstery ist ein T-Shirt-Shop der etwas anderen Art. Anders als etwa bei Threadless (wo die Community entscheidet, welche T-Shirts produziert werden) oder Spreadshirt (wo man das T-Shirt selbst gestaltet) wird bei The Hipstery die Auswahl des T-Shirts von einem geheimen Algorithmus bestimmt. Outgesourcte Serendipity, wenn man so will. Als geneigter Kunde gibt man die gewünschte Grösse an, beantwortet einige Fragen und überweist 20 Euro (plus Versandkosten). The Hipstery wertet die Antworten aus, berechnet das ideale T-Shirt und verschickt es als geheimnisvolles Paket.

On the other hand, some surprises are motivated by the fact that it’s too easy to find exactly what you want. A German t-shirt website called Hipstery has made a name for itself by not showing any of their shirts on the site. Instead, buyers answer a series of questions about themselves and Hipstery sends them a shirt that they think will be most appealing. Surprise! The shirts often come from the out-of-print stashes of small suppliers, and yes, you can return any shirt you absolutely hate. (Way to ruin the fun, whiner.) The appeal (or “delight,” if you will) of the site comes from the fact that the endless reach of web shopping has largely eliminated the element of surprise from shopping. If you want an obscure item, search long enough on the web and you’ll probably find it. Don’t get us wrong: we prefer it that way. But Hipstery fills another type of emotional need that has been lost, and brings some fun back to a shopping experience that’s often defined solely by efficacy.

Hypstery è un sito di vendita online di t-shirt che pretende liberare "il cliente dal compito della scelta". Un impegno verso i clienti che il negozio di abbigliamento vuole onorare con originalità ed efficacia.

Hypstery propone ai suoi clienti un processo del tutto innovativo per la scelta della t-shirt che viene ordinata "alla cieca".

Piuttosto che offrire una galleria di disegni e modelli predefiniti, il sito semplicemente formula 7 domande (elaborate da un team di esperti) per capire il profilo psicologico del nuovo acquirente.

Hipstery Outcasts

Post image of Hipstery Outcasts
Filed in Design 0 comments

 

After seeing some info about The Hipstery on Twitter [@hipstery] and reading about their ‘Outcast’ experiment, I have to admit I was curious.

The initial idea of buying a tshirt that I have never seen and without even knowing what colour it is, seemed a bit mental, but I decided to give it a go. Not knowing what to expect, I was really pleased to receive a gorgeous brand new tee in the post a few days later.

hipsterytee

The Hipstery website basically asks you to complete a brief multiple choice survey to assess the type of ‘mystery’ tee you would like. Then based on your answers, they ship a brand new, shiny tshirt straight to your door. Not sure what complex mathematical algorithm, voodoo or form of psychic power they use to work it out, but they guarantee you will love your tee or you can return it to them if you don’t.

Hipstery don’t reveal all the brands they use, but quote a few names including, Teefury, Uneetee, Threadless, Teextile and Design By Humans.

As well as your tshirt, it comes in a spray-painted envelope with an assortment of weird and wonderful bits and pieces: old photos, postcard, 3D glasses and stickers.

After my initial reservations…………The Hipstery………..what’s not to love?

Count me in!

hipstery 1 Hipstery t shirt arrived!

It’s all books! This pretty t-shirt came from tilteed (this one!), and was chosen by the hipstery based on my quiz answers. Look at all the stuff they send with it, too, stickers, an old photo (?), 3d glasses. Cute! So, there’s a discount voucher on my package 10% off with code ‘goforthandmultiply’ … I guess you guys can use it?

HIPSTERY - THE MYSTERY SHIRT 

Wow, kann ein Geschenk Spaß machen!

In der Wundertüte von “HIPSTERY” war nicht nur ein geiles Shirt, NEIN, lang verschollene Dokumente unserer Familiengeschichte tauchten auf wundersame Weise wieder auf, Fotos von nie gekannten Verwandten aus den USA und Omas verloren geglaubte Urlaubserinnerung an eine Reise in den 50gern nach Great Britain !

Long live The Queen !  Sogar Unterlagen unseres Nachbarn von der Kinder und Jugendspartakiade 1976 in Leipzig waren dabei !!!!

Wir alle lagen uns in den Armen und weinten.

DANKE HIPSTERY !

 

Ausführlicher Bericht über diesen mysteriösen Shop erfolgt sobald unser Spion an der Glienicker Brücke wieder ausgetauscht wurde.

Hipstery è un nuovo e piccolo fenomeno nella rete.

Il pacco a sorpresa non è una novità ed è usato in molte vendite. Fumetti, figurine, giocattoli, abbiamo tutti esperienza dei pacchi sorpresa.

Hipstery aggiunge alla sorpresa un tono scentifico ed il divertimento, non a caso chiamato “The Hipstery Experience”.

  • Scegli una taglia
  • Passa al checkout e fai il quiz necessario
  • Un gruppo di scienziati sceglie la tshirt più adatta a te.

Liberati dalla schiavitù della scelta !

Hipstery ha anche compilato il manifesto che sostiene la filosofia dell’azienda e che giustifica l’operazione.

Rispetto al predecessore che poteva essere The something Store, Hipstery porta la vendita e l’esperienza del cliente ad un altro livello.

E’ una esperienza che coinvolge più sensi, aumenta l’aspettativa, ha il gioco e l’emozione.
Inoltre la confezione contiene anche altre sorprese, occhiali 3D, vecchie cartoline, ritagli di vecchi giornali.

Del tutto inutili quanto assolutamente gratificanti !

A dimostrazione che le buone idee trovano sempre uno spazio.

Thu, 07 Jan 2010 03:35:56 -0800 Mystery T-Shirts from Hipstery | IDDICTIVE.COM | Innovative Business Ideas http://thehipstery.posterous.com/mystery-t-shirts-from-hipstery-iddictivecom-i http://thehipstery.posterous.com/mystery-t-shirts-from-hipstery-iddictivecom-i

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?
