Founder Updates - Feb 1, 2025
✨ ✨✨
Hi all,
Welcome to 162 people who’ve signed up since we last sent this newsletter. We’re excited you’re here! We are Chris and James, the founders of Lyric, and we usually send out these updates weekly. If you’re new here, you can read why we started Lyric.
Valentine’s Day!
We hope you are all having a great run-up to the Valentine’s season. Thank you for everyone who submitted products for the Lyric Valentine’s Day Gift Guide. We had hundreds of submissions and were overwhelmed with the response. Sadly we were not able to include everyone’s work. If your work was not selected this time around, we hope you’ll submit for similar promotions in the future.
If you want to see the Valentine’s Gift Guide, and maybe find a new artist to follow or a gift for your loved one:

WHAT SHIPPED
Product Customization
Long asked-for feature, finally here. When you’re setting up a product, you can indicate to your buyers that they can add customizations— name, number, motto, college cheer, you name it.
Reordering products
Now you can drag-and-drop products in your dashboard to rearrange them. Simple, but powerful.
Instagram assets
We’ve invested further in auto-generating Instagram- and Facebook-friendly assets to help promote your work on those platforms. We’ve seen many of you make good use of these so far and look forward to making them better.
Infrastructure
Under-the-hood, Lyric’s systems have been getting a number of upgrades that will help keep the machines spinning fast and happily into the future. If we do our jobs right, you’ll never know this is happening!
UPDATE OF THE WEEK
From Tasnah, an illustrator working on the Alasksan coast:
Thanks, happy February!
