Founder Updates - Jan 17, 2025
Prepping for ❤️
Hi all,
Welcome to 113 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 send out these updates weekly. If you’re new here, you can read why we started Lyric.
Valentine’s Day!
The holiday promotion we ran in November (Black Friday) was a huge success, so we’re hoping to capitalize on that and run a similar promotion for Valentine’s Day. We’ll be sponsoring a promotion for appropriate Valentine’s gifts that will be sent out on Jan 28th.
To nominate your products for the Valentine’s Gift Guide, go to your Products list page, and select “Nominate for Gift Guide” next to any product you’d like to have considered. If you haven’t finished the steps in the onboarding checklist, including setting up payments, you’ll need to do that first. Nominations are due by 11:59pm Eastern time on Wednesday, January 22.
WHAT SHIPPED
Sharing Your Work, Everywhere
We’re making it easier to share your products to Instagram and other platforms. After you create a new product, we now give you an option to share the product. If you click “Share to Instagram,” we’ll automatically generate a nice image that’s ready to share to Instagram Stories.
The Magic Wand
We’ve continued to invest significantly in the magic import tool, so it’s easier than ever to import your products from an existing website or storefront. If you haven’t gotten started on Lyric yet, visit your dashboard and click the “Import Products” button.
UPDATE OF THE WEEK
From Natasha Zahn in Alaska. We have received several of these cards personally and can attest to Natasha’s beautiful illustrations.
Cheers to you all - be well!
Chris & James
PS - don’t forget to nominate your products for the Valentine’s Gift Guide!
