Under a lot of circumstances, many companies go for selling some of the apparel like Shirts, Hoodies, tanktops, etc. These apparels can be used for, promotional purposes  as promo items, promo products, promo gifts or just for giving a sense of good people working with great organization.

Some not for profit sites are also using it to raise money for different social works. 

But not every company can afford to get it done on a large scale, when distribution area is greater than the companies reach.

create you custom apparel for company
SpreadShirt
Spreadshirt is an online platform that deals with designing, buying and selling of custom apparels. The company works on a number of locations covering a large part of America and Europe.

With spreadshirt you can create your own shop, like an e-commerce store. You can then redirect your fans from your website to your online store at spreadshirt, from where the customers can make purchase.

The shop owner can create a number of designs and make them available at their store. The online store can be customized. Spreadshirt don't designs the design for your shirts. That must be done by the user. They only deal with making the product with that design and then sell and ship it to the desired location.

Online Store

When a store is created, it is accessible via a subdomain like xyz.spreadshirt.com, but with spreadshirt a user can point it to his/her custom domain name like www.example.com.

For developers they have their own spreadshirt API.

  • Vintage Cars
  • Hatchback
  • Sedans
  • SUVs
  • Pick-Ups and Vans
  • Public Service Watercraft & Aircraft
Some people criticised GTA 4 for its lack of easter eggs, but the company behind the GTA games, Rockstar, seem to have listened this time, and GTA V is no doubt the most egg-stuffed game ever released with. Not only this, you will also see there one of GTA 5’s unique vehicles, a rusted tractor. Most of the people don't even know where it is in the game. So, here is the secret. You’ll find that tractor near a farm in Cape Catfish, in the north east part of the map.
But,this tractor is little bit boring because it is rusted to hell and doesn’t have any tires. Besides, it’s also very slow.

Secret of UV map

The map that comes up with special edition of GTA 5 includes messages that can be revealed by shining a UV light over it.

Secret of Alien spaceship

You will find a hidden alien spaceship underwater in the north part of the game world.

Lenora Johnson's Ghost

Lenora Johnson is murdered in the GTA 5. By picking up fifty scraps of paper across the city, you can solve her murder mission, but you can also find her ghost. Her ghost appears on the cliffs between 23:00 and 00:00, on the top of a mountain Gordan in the top-right side of the map.

Secret of Bigfoot

One of the earliest rumour about the GTA 5 was bigfoot. But it’s real now, it can be seen during a mission called Predator. To see this bigfoot, start thermal imaging and slowly look across the forest.
You’ll be able to see the heat signature of Bigfoot. However, it’ll be disappeared when you look directly at him.

UFO & Alien

You will find a lonely, frozen alien at the start of the game. Apart from this, there's also a crashed UFO rests at the bottom of the sea at the northern edge of the map. Take a submarine if you want to find alien's wet buddies.

Zombie in the Game

Grand Theft Auto V is not a zombie game. But, there is a zombie walker in there. When you go through one of Los Santos’s sidewalks, you’ll find a zombie there. He has a voice-acted story to tell you too. Go and check out this zombie if you haven't seen him yet.

Shark - The best addition in the game
