Ein Selbstversuch aus der Geheimniskrämerei! | we are fashion - Mode, Styles und Trends

Wearefashion

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 « Musiol Munzinger Sasserath

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)

MaddieShops « KatyShops…

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!

So Retro: 15 Vintage-Inspired Website Designs : WebUrbanist

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.

spa blog: How to Create a GREAT Customer Service Experience

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 Alternatives: Hipstery adds a new twist to t-shirt personalization - Mass Customization & Open Innovation News

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.

Neue T-Shirts: Trinitas & Hipstery

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.

Samstag App Fieber: TheDeadline, The Hipstery, TransFormr » netzwertig.com

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.
