There’s lots of new folks coming into the page today thanks to all of the shares!! SoI wanted to post a little back story about our business…
Let’s take a trip back to 1997 when i was a graphic design stufent at Baker College of Flint. I was a full time college student and working full time as a Gander Mountain archery tech, while also caring for my mom who was fighting a losing battle with cancer. I eventually dropped my courses to be home more with mom near the end. My professors opted to give me withdrawl failure as opposed to a withdrawl incomplete despite my 3.8 GPA. This choice of theirs made me lose my scholarship that i had received based on my high school grades. I dropped out of college and chalked it up to it wasn’t what God had planned for me.
Fast forward to 2018, i had yet to use anything that i learned in college all of those years ago, when i recieved an email one winter morning that Amazon was looking for graphic designers to join a program wherein they would handle all of the printing (which is the DTG process), all of the customer service, returns, shipping, etc… all i had to do was create designs that sold and collect a royalty check at the end of each month. It seemed like an awesome side hustle so i applied and a few weeks later they invited me into the program. Since getting accepted in 2018, we’ve sold 17,474 shirts and done $310,000 in sales.
Fast forward again to February of 2025 when i started dating Jodi, we began talking about using the Amazon program as the backbone of the brand we wanted to launch together, Fife Life. And so, one winters night at Jodi’s kitchen table, Fife Life was born.
What makes us different than most t-shirt companies around is that our business is spearheaded by Amazon’s technology. You can order our products in a wide variety of sizes and colors via Prime if you have an account and if you don’t we can gladly order for you on our prime account so that you always receive free shipping!
We also offer custom design work if you don’t see quite what you’re looking for! We hope that this information rmakes you more comfortable with who you’re ordering from and we thank you so very much for all of your purchases and for supporting a Fife Lake small business!!
Here is a sampling of some of our designs…
