Shirt.Woot

Congratulations to grizzled old t-rex veterans, Consider Yourself Warned and Rex the Riveter. The second most dangerous week for shirts on the Reckoning is their first week as a veteran when they lose their initial week of sales. Will the t-rexs fall prey to the Veteran Curse or will they continue to prey on animals at the bottom of the food chain like mice and owls?

The most dangerous week for a shirt is, of course, its very first week on the Reckoning, which tends to wreck shirts' dreams of binging on sales and outliving the one-note bird. This week, however, three new shirts missed the memo and have risen to the top of the charts. Will any of the remaining four newbies escape the Reckoning's clutches by Monday noon? Will the gosh-darn-dag-nabbit-unpredictable-impossible-to-capture-accurate-sales-do-they-know-they're-taking-minutes-off-my-life-with-this-stress noon-hour woot-off sale influence non-noon-hour woot-off sales numbers enough to jostle the standings? And will hyphen futures rise as a result of the preceding sentence? Stay tuned, as the stories of Reckoning 272 unfold and the accuracy of the numbers unravels around 1PM tomorrow!

Bazinga! falls into the danger zone early on, but something tells me it won't stay there. Pumpkin Everything and Dr. Mouse have a chance to escape, but it's gonna be close methinks.

I'll see if I can back you up on number gathering tomorrow Neuro, but no promises. Work can turn crazy at a moment's notice!

Thanks for grabbing these, Neuro ! Woot-offs always sneak up on me...

Thanks, Neuro! I tried to grab the numbers but I was a little late. Appreciate you doing this for us.

rasabi and fishbiscuit, you're welcome! and thank you for saying something; I feel like there has been less discussion about numbers since Narfcake retired, and I occasionally wonder if anyone cares. I'm not looking for praise or acknowledgement, but it does feel good to hear - and just as I was starting to question whether it was worth continuing, it's timely to discover that I'm not just talking to myself!

Best day of sales in a long, long time - congratulations to all the artists!

It'd be kind of appropriate if Formula for Success ended it's run on Monday and the World Series ended that night. It debuted on Opening Day (for many MLB teams).

(I attended a game that day and didn't check Shirt.Woot! until long after it had sold out.)

I wasn't able to grab any numbers yesterday. The shirt sale caught me completely off guard (didn't notice it until it was halfway over) and I unfortunately got tied up when it was ending. I'm glad you managed to grab some numbers, Neuro. They'll be good enough for government work.

I always make sure to lurk here every couple days at least. I have to admit that I don't follow my own numbers as closely as I used to. I used to track it by day, but now I mostly just check them weekly. I DO want to emphasis my appreciation for grabbing woot-off numbers because they mess me up when I miss them, so thanks, Neuro (and citizencoyote and others who have tracked them in the past).

HOWEVER! I'd also like to say that I don't want you to feel obligated to post numbers. Obviously I don't know your exact feelings in regards to it, but if it ever does start to feel less like fun number crunching and more like a job then by all means I hope you flee your spreadsheets and seek refuge in more enjoyable hobbies.

So in a conversation last night with Neuro, apparently it seems that Woot is completely sold out of kid's Royal Blue shirts.

5+ months ago, I raised the question of "how well can Woot/Anvil handle a color/stock shortage", as quite a few of the colors are custom made for Woot. Indeed, of the 16 stock colors, 11 of the kids and 9 of the women are not stock Anvil colors, meaning there's no ' we'll just get some from a different distributor'.

Will this become an even bigger issue in the upcoming holiday season? Or will this issue become a reason for Woot to change?

I guess Monster Cookie is to blame for that. Nothing in a while has appealed to kids as much, and it caught Woot logistics off guard. Unfortunately, AA sizes in kids are as different from the Anvil equivalent as the Women's sizes, so that would be another fiasco.

Perhaps so, but why the stop-sale of all designs on royal blue? It's not like they could erase the printed Binge shirts to print more of Monster Cookie, y'know.

Unless the inventory issue started before hand and it's just that it's mission critical now ...

Unfortunately, AA sizes in kids are as different from the Anvil equivalent as the Women's sizes, so that would be another fiasco.

Are they that different? I know the AA shirts are longer (and will shrink much less), but IIRC, the widths were close.

Logistics. I suspect kid's size inventory was quite low on the less-than-kid-friendly designs, and they sold out of them quickly, or maybe even print on demand since they were reckoning shirts and not first-day. For Monster Cookie, K8 went first, then the rest.

Are they that different? I know the AA shirts are longer (and will shrink much less), but IIRC, the widths were close.

1/2-3/8" but they seem so much bigger worn, of course I may be remembering the men's size print on my daughter's K10.

j5 wrote:I guess Monster Cookie is to blame for that. Nothing in a while has appealed to kids as much, and it caught Woot logistics off guard.

If Binge is sold out in all kids' sizes, this has been pending for a while, because they always have stock pre-printed of Binge sitting, and an even larger stock of royal blue blanks because of Binge. Remember how long the royal blue AA blanks lasted? I joked that they had a few truckloads sitting around because of Binge - except that turned out to be true. (JASON I STILL BLAME YOU AND YOUR 14217 SALES FOR USING ALL THE ROYAL BLUE AA BLANKS. Just kidding.)

K8 was sold out in all royal blue shirts yesterday, then Monster Cookie sold out in all kids' sizes, and sometime this afternoon, all royal blue shirts sold out in all kids' sizes: they had to have been running low before yesterday morning.

I feel particularly bad for the artists: there are five kid-friendly shirts on royal blue in the top 20, a kid-friendly royal blue shirt fighting to return to the top 20, another royal blue shirt in the bottom seven, and a very kid-friendly new shirt that barely had the chance to sell any kids' sizes. I suspect this will hurt Monster Cookie in the Reckoning standings, but it will definitely hurt sales of all nine shirts - and that hits the artists' commissions. How many potential buyers of Monster Cookie, Noah's Grill, Cats Resume, Cat in the Box, Rex the Riveter, and Binge as casual holiday presents for kids will keep checking back? And are we looking at a few days, or a month?

One shirt did not mean to end up in 21st place, but another shirt is acting malcontent with its spot in the Dangah Zone. Oh man, remember those weeks when all the movement around the line seemed fishy?

That's the suspicion.

For certain, they're not going to do screen-print-on-demand for each kid's shirt sale ... they'd spend waaay too much time just doing the setups.

I feel particularly bad for the artists ...

Running the numbers a while back when they bumped the debut day quantity from 3k to 5k, apparently only 1 out of 8 returned when faced with the sold out sign.

That hurts.

Not so sure on Dr. Mus; if it's anything that the numbers have done in the past year plus, it's that a lot of the speculation has been removed. I do foresee some movement by tomorrow, but I feel it won't be enough.

That, of course. There's always room for more Wences shirts, right?

You wouldn't by any chance be in the market for a copy of My Morning Sidekick too, would ya? I was going to turn the unworn M3XL copy into a tote, but the worn M2XL that I've subsequently acquired would be "less wasteful".

[therapist hat]I noticed that you said the numbers have removed much of the speculation about placement, but that you "feel" it won't be enough. That's an emotion verb, not a belief one. Are you maybe not as sure about the numbers as you once were?[/therapist hat]

Last week's new shirts are doing quite well for themselves: four out, and the three in the bottom seven aren't 25-26-27 for once. It will be very odd to see any of the veterans go, however: I've become accustomed to seeing House of Malcontent, Noah's Grill, and Seems Fishy on the Reckoning! However, I still type "Noah's Arc backspace backspace backspace Grill" every time.

Heading into the homestretch of the Reckoning, burning questions include:
- Will Generowl Von Hootte escape the Raritees list?
- Will Not what I meant maintain a position in the top twenty, or can House of Malcontent or Noah's Grill make a move?
- Will Reckoning Thread #272 go down in history as being totally devoid of any "quality"?

Two of the three penguin shirts in the reckoning are on the chopping block with less than three hours to go. Can there truly be only one?

The shortage of kid's blue shirts is sad. I wonder how much it's costing woot in sales, given Narf's stat about returning shoppers?

It's not only sad, it's completely unfair to the artists. The biggest shopping season of the year and no one can order a child-sized light blue shirt?? Poor planning on woot's part, really poor.

I hope the affected artists are inundating them with e-mails. Somehow woot should compensate them for the lost sales which are not the fault of the artist, but are solely the fault of woot planners. The designs, if reckoned, should be brought back in a special light-blue-mea-culpa-side-sale once supplies are renewed.

I go away for a few days and come back to being blamed for shortages! LOL! Hey, not my fault my shirt has sold so well... ;) Woot should have stocked up on the blues! Lord knows they have had time...

I am just relieved to survive another week! It was another close call! Another close week like this and I may not make it out next time, then who will you blame! ;)

My predictions usually involve some "gut feeling" too. Or that defective crystal ball...

I know I don't say it enough, but thank you, Neuro, for taking over the number duties for over the past 3 months, helping the artist's track their sales and removing the doubt from fellow Wooters.

I was "blaming" you for the royal blue American Apparel blanks running out in adult sizes! AND NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO PASS OFF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE KIDS' BLANKS, EH? I'M ON TO YOUR LITTLE GAME OF SELLING MANY MANY SHIRTS.

You're welcome. (And thank you for the acknowledgement; it's not why I do it, but I admit that it's nice to hear every once in a while.)

Speaking of which... anyone have crystal ball predictions for tonight?

Based on the DSRs, I expect Random Shirt 16 to leap into the top spot... oh wait. I suspect Headless Horseman and Downtime will debut in the top 20. I'm not sure if any of the other new shirts will claw their way out; I'm particularly concerned about The Monster Cookie, which is not selling as well as I would have predicted: I have a feeling it's really being hurt by the lack of kids' royal blue blanks.

Hey, a guy has got to do what a guy has got to do... ;)

Yes! I agree. Thanks, Neuro. And Narf, too.

I don't understand how the ranking system works. The shirt house of malcontent was ranked 18 and was about to fall to 21 but then on October 31 it was gone completely, while other shirts that had worse numbers were still on the list for sale. I think I must be missing something.
