My Story…
Hi, I’m Greg Merrilees and I’m passionate about ‘Design That Converts’!
When I started Studio1Design about 15 years ago we predominantly designed t-shirts for wholesale fashion clients. Over recent years the wholesale clothing industry in Australia was being squeezed out by retailers who started going to the manufacturers directly. Then they set up their own in-house teams to manage that process and as a result within 2 years I went from having around 20 wholesale fashion clients to around 5 clients. I still had an office with 6 talented full-time designers but we didn’t have enough work for all of us, so I started looking for online opportunities…
I found that there wasn’t many websites selling t-shirt designs online, so I started a website called: downloadt-shirtdesigns.com. On that site we sell t-shirt designs to businesses with digital t-shirt printing machines, and they print our designs on t-shirts to sell to their customers. Over the years I wasted a lot money on the website with many iterations, but that’s where I began to learn about website conversions. Over the next few years I tested many new ideas, price points, collected feedback through surveys & found out what my customers really wanted. We continually monitor the analytics and test new ideas, and the site’s sales are still growing. That site is where I discovered a real passion for website design, when I realised that having a well designed leads to increase sales.
In 2012 I discovered podcasts and learned even more about marketing and what’s working online today. So I sent a free logo design to James Schramko & Ezra Firestone from ThinkActGet.com to say thanks for their awesome FREE content. Luckily they loved it, so I started designing for their other brands too including websites and marketing graphics.
Sending free t-shirts to the hosts of ThinkActGet.com worked well, so I repeated the process and sent more free t-shirts to these other podcasters: John Lee Dumas, Clay Collins, Pat Flynn, Perry Marshall, Chris Ducker, Russell Brunson, Kevin Rogers, Keith Kranc, and others. I then launched SuccessShirt.com where we offer these t-shirts to the podcaster’s fans and split the profits 50/50 with the podcast hosts. Over time I build trust with them and then they often refer their fans to us too. So I have set up dedicated squeeze pages and a referral program tracking system for the referrers to send leads to my business.
We are now designing websites, and marketing graphics for many high profile marketers and their audiences around the world so I have been sharing the knowledge I have learned on a few recent webinars and on my podcast called TheRealMagic.com. That’s where myself and my podcast partner unpack our knowledge for designers and business owners to work together to create design that’s profitable. I also pour all of my knowledge and training into my business for my design team so they too can continually evolve and learn what gets great results in website design.
