@joshdance Hi Joshua! Our minimum order quantity is 120 pairs. We have this minimum in place because it becomes highly cost-prohibitive for our clients to order less than that, (which isn't fun for anyone). Let us know if you have any other questions!
@anderson760 Hi Joe! We have around 40 yarn colors on hand, and can custom-dye any other colors you want, for an additional fee. If you have further questions about the custom dye process, please reach out to us at hello@sockclub.com. Cheers!
Love the idea, hopefully scale will help bring down the min. order qty at some point - would have been perfect for a wedding I'm standing up in later this year
@theaccordance Thanks for the support Joe! Every day we are working to bring those minimums down so that we can bring cool ideas like yours to life. We enjoy working with folks to outfit their special events, including weddings.
As an alternative, we often sell large orders of our Sock Club line of socks at wholesale pricing to wedding parties seeking orders smaller than 120, but interested in the quality and design of our socks. Feel free to shoot us an email at hello@sockclub.com if you have something specific in mind!
I was checking out this out for a giveaway for our next Company retreat. I went to the website and before I could even look at anything, I was prompted to sign up for the newsletter. Because you were offering a free pair of socks, I threw caution to the wind and gave you my email address. Except, then you simply gave me a code for a pair of socks that I'd get only if I signed up for a 12-month subscription. So, in summary, you "retraded" your offer before I even got a chance to check out the site and consider, further, a business opportunity. Poor move. And for that reason, I'm out.
@robertjordan33 Hi Rob, thank you for your feedback –– we take it seriously.
First off, we want to apologize for any language you felt to be misleading or unclear. Our “FREEPAIR” code is for those who join the newsletter list. In exchange for joining, we offer you either a free pair with the purchase of a subscription or one pair from our store. Buy one, get one free. We feel that is a fair deal. Our goal is simply to build a newsletter list for individuals who love socks and who might be interested in our service in the future, and this is one way we are doing that.
We are sorry to hear that this would cause you to lose interest and trust in our company. We understand your frustration. That is, of course, not our intention, though we understand and respect your point-of-view.
In no way are we trying to be misleading through this promotion. Sock Club is focused on designing, producing, and delivering quality American-made socks. We are proud to provide complimentary digital mockups for our custom clients and support from our design team before they spend a dime with us, plus we send free samples of past custom work at the outset of each project. It is our chief aim to provide the best customer experience possible, on every level, and we’re bummed that we let you down before we had the opportunity to work with you.
Feel free to reach out if we can provide any further information. All the best to you, Rob.
I remember seeing the @producthunt sock & was almost ashamed of how much I was into that swag tho. Very impressive client base & design aesthetic, especially for being floated on a free @TypeForm account! Looking forward to my mockup, team @sockclub@danecjensen
Hi everyone! My name is Dane and I’m one of the founders of Sock Club, and we’re presenting Custom by Sock Club.
Custom by Sock Club provides a high-quality solution for all of your marketing needs by delivering custom branded socks in a stress-free process. We offer complimentary digital mockups (before you pay a dime!), fast turnarounds, and a full-service design team, making the process simple and enjoyable for you.
We’ve worked with hundreds of clients, including Slack (yes, we’re the originators of the Slack socks), Airbnb, Keller Williams, SXSW, Periscope, ESPN, TechCrunch, Bumble, IFTTT, and Timehop, among many others.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask anytime! Thanks!
@eigenjoy Hey Nate! Thanks for your support.
Great question –– Several of our early custom clients weren't actually startups, but the first startups that we made socks for were Act-On and Slack.
We loved working on the IFTTT socks, and hope you guys are enjoying them!
@techtosterone Awesome, Guarav! We'd love to support your launch with custom socks, whenever that may be. Feel free to shoot us an email at hello@sockclub.com at any time if you have questions. :) Best of luck as you prepare for the launch!
@soerenes@meld Thanks for your question Gabriel, and thanks for chiming in Thomas!
Prices range from $6.55 to $10.50 per pair, depending on order quantity. As Thomas mentioned, socks are $10.50 per pair at the minimum order quantity of 120 pairs, but it actually breaks down to about $7.40 / pair for Product Hunters, with the special offer for 50 free pairs when you mention PH. :)
You can find our entire pricing guide here: http://custom.sockclub.com/how. Let me know if I can answer any further questions!
@steve__gertz Thanks Steve! You bring up a great question.
We’re the people that brought you Sock Swag two years ago, which we consider the 1.0 version of Custom by Sock Club. We recently rebranded the custom arm of our business to more directly align it under our parent company, Sock Club.
By connecting our custom and consumer businesses more closely, our clients enjoy access to a professional design team (the same team that designs our own label of Sock Club socks), our fulfillment and shipping services, and ultimately, a smoother, more refined client experience.
In short –– the lessons we learned in our first two years as ‘Sock Swag’ taught us what we needed to know to vastly improve upon our product, the level of design support we can offer, and the custom sock-making experience on the whole, leading to version 2.0: Custom by Sock Club.
Happy to elaborate or answer any further questions you may have!
Super cool. I'm from Topology Eyewear - we make custom glasses and sunglasses! Few questions: how many colors can you do on one sock? Is there an extra fee per color? What about multiple sizes? MOQ? Lead time? How about wicking material, and arch support? Lastly, can you do compression socks? Thanks!
