StartupBus & Yeah Super, a clothing co. built on culture
March 8th, 2012 in Web Design, Web Development, E-Commerce, Friends of Doejo, Phil Tadros, Startups We Love
As Phil travels with the 3-day startup incubator completion, StartupBus, road tripping from Boston to Austin—his team is putting the finishing touches on their business plan before presenting at SXSW’s Startup Village tomorrow.
Introducing: Yeah Super—a way iconic businesses you love can share their brands on t-shirts, accompanied by the story of that cherished beer garden, famed record shop, rave-worthy hotdog joint, whatever. Yeah Super aims to make more than just shirts, but tell the stories of these local haunts from around the world, a new spot every day, with a strong mobile e-commerce component.
While the storeowners get a new revenue stream for just providing Yeah Super with their logos, the t-shirt company lets fans of those shops enjoy a fresh new tee—boasting their loyalty.
From on the road at the StartupBus blog:
The businesses simply provide a logo and tidbits of greatness from their history, and they receive not only a 50% share of profits but also a super easy way to outfit their followers in cool t-shirts. An ever-growing catalog of cool merch serves as a cult-favorite reference point.
Nominate your favorite independent shops, restaurants and bars here. And don’t forget to friend Yeah Super on Facebook and follow them on Twitter!

Keeping Busy with Busy Beaver Button Co.
December 19th, 2011 in E-Commerce, Clients
It’s obvious that Busy Beaver Button Co. takes its craft pretty seriously. Maybe it’s the world’s largest button vending machine located in their renowned Busy Beaver Button Museum. Or maybe it’s their one-of-a-kind 24-karat gold plated buttons.
This dedication is evident through the Chicago-based company’s blog posts and hilarious videos shot at their studio. And while promoting admirable charities, the Beavers always find a way to give back through diverse fundraisers. What’s not to be proud of? At Doejo, we’re proud to say we helped boost Busy Beaver Button Co.’s e-commerce platform, making it more efficient and cleaner. Like many of out e-commerce-centric clients, we streamlined the ordering, payment and shipping process with the simplest, but methodical user experience in mind.

Getting Berco’s Popcorn e-commerce and marketing site to really pop
November 28th, 2011 in Web Design, E-Commerce, Clients
We just launched one of our newest sites for Chicago-based gourmet popcorn purveyor Berco’s Popcorn last week―a shop geared to make your mouth water with photos of rich caramel-covered corn and cheddar dusted kernels. You can practically smell the sweet butter as you peruse the site. And aside from reveling in Berco’s delicious, high quality snacks, you can read the story behind CEO Matt Bercovitz’ philanthropic background.
Chicago culture blog, Daily Candy just reviewed Berco’s: “For eons, a certain (ahem) popcorn company has cornered our fair city’s kernel market. So it’s no small feat to introduce Berco’s Popcorn, Chicago’s newest — and tastiest — small-batch popcorn producer.”
Check out our case study here.

Building a charitable vintage T-shirt shop online: Sleevecandy
August 2nd, 2011 in Doejo Stuff, Web Design, E-Commerce, Clients
If you have the time to pick through racks and racks of old t-shirts, thrift store shopping can be thoroughly rewarding. But what if it was easier?
Thrift store e-comm platform, Sleevecandy actually started out as a Venture Challenge submission at Northwestern University. The idea was to sift through various Chicago-area thrift stores and resell the more interesting, accidently ironic, hipster-chic tees online. And with 30 percent of proceeds going back to the Salvation Army, it’s win-win for all.
Our designers and developers built the site and logo within two months with a hip and friendly aesthetic. Check it out: you can narrow down your search through type of shirt, color, size and price.
