And so it was kind of a win-win for them. But then also we get to piggyback into their market. We got our shop into their markets. That means their customers were on our website buying 815 shirts or Rockford shirts too. Marshall Atkinson What was on the shirts? Was it just a design with their logo or do they have a cute and witty little saying? Did you have to design it? Did they tell you what you want? Walk us through that a little bit. Jarrod Hennis Yeah. So we did the first, I would say hundred. Somari salon was one of our top-selling ones and she was awesome. She sold well and was a big advocate for us, but we’ve never done business with her before, never met her before. I don't even, you know, never a customer, anything. So she had a cool design. She sent it in, and it was vector-ready. And it was a hand putting your rock and roll fingers up, and some scissors in it and some like tattoo art kind of looking stuff on it. Yeah. Turned out well. And she did extremely well. But most of the people that applied, some people asked for custom things, but we couldn't handle it. You know, we were getting so much artwork and load at once. And at the time we don't have an in-house design like we have two freelance people at the moment. So I was trying to carry that load and do it all. So it's just like, “Hey if you have vector ID artwork, it's good to go. If I have to customize it or live to trace it or recreate it, you're going to the bottom of the list. So either you can start selling now or you can wait maybe a couple of weeks and you'd get the artwork done or send us good artwork.” We did start sending some of the smaller, local freelance artists in town. We started just recommending them. So, to help create some revenue for them too. But I would say two out of ten businesses had correct artwork to start. Marshall Atkinson Two out of ten. Really? Jarrod Hennis Yeah. Yeah. Or they didn't know what vector was, so that was a good learning point. Most people were, saving a JPEG and exporting it as an AI file. And they were like, “No, this is a vector.” Marshall Atkinson Shocker. Jarrod Hennis Typically what we see every day in the screen printing industry. But, so that was, I guess, this whole 'another thing of like, “Wow, these people don't know what artwork they need. They don't know what they have!”
