		<description>For that price, I&#039;d make a sticker and slap it on something that wasn&#039;t so fugly. What demographic looks and comments on another&#039;s shoes though? You&#039;d get more by paying some kid to walk up and down the boardwalks in the summer in a custom tee.</description>

Great question.  MyJoys began development in late 2002 and was launched in September 2003.  The directive for the development of a mass customization program came from our company president, so his support cleared the way to get the process rolling.

Development went very well, but was not without its speed bumps.  MyJoys was built with a trade and consumer-direct component, so this addressed any Sales concerns.  Our reps see this program as an incremental opportunity and have passed this enthusiasm down to their accounts.

For the rest of the organization, we got them involved, developing a feeling of ownership across all departments (customer service, finance, credit, etc..).  This approach worked very well for us and continues to bolster the program today.

		<description>The hurdle of customization is getting the customer involved the process.  

That is, designing something that they think is worthy to put on something.  I have been working Mikons.com for two years now http://mikons.com and http://mikonmixers.com A mikon is a symbol about you - like my icon. Users can design their own image and put them on stuff, or connect with others at parties with iconic stickers (mikonmixers). 

It is easy to imagine that everyone wants to be unique and express themselves in a custom way.  But difficult to facilitate that.

Co-branding with the larger companies is one way.  However, the entrenched big guys are presently afraid of the implications and the threat to their own manufacturing processes.</description>

		<description>I like my Nike IDs so much. It sucks that they&#039;re getting beaten up though now. I work in the customized clothing industry also at http://www.cutandsewn.com. We like the threadless idea, but it sucks for the people who are below the line of top 3 designs. Everyone&#039;s design deserves to be made.</description>

		<description>Customization expenses are high now, but as manufactures continue to improve their processes we&#039;ll see more and more services like this - even from big brands like FootJoy &amp; Nike.  Threadless&#039; concept is a bit different than Nike&#039;s, but I think they prove that customized JIT manufacturing is the wave of the future.  As more consumers begin to migrate to those companies offering expanded choices, It will be interesting to watch other brands adapt and try to regain their share.</description>
