The easiest merch program to sell: the employee store
Every company with staff is a merch account waiting to happen. An employee store takes the whole headache off their HR and hands you a recurring order. Here's how to land one.
Why companies say yes
An employee store is a private online shop with the company's logo, where their staff log in and order their own gear. It solves a real headache, which is why it's an easy sell.
-
HR stops being the middlemanEveryone self-serves with their own login. Nobody chases sizes or collects orders in a spreadsheet.
-
Budgets stay in controlGive each employee a set allowance. If they want more, they pay the difference themselves.
-
On brand, every timeOnly approved items, colors and logos. No rogue merch, no off-brand surprises.
-
It reorders itselfNew hires, new seasons, new swag. The store stays open and the orders keep coming to you.
A peek at the finished store
Their logo, their colors, only the gear you approved, and every employee with a set budget. They log in, pick their sizes, and order, all without a single email landing on anyone's desk.
How to land one in four steps
Target companies that already buy merch
Any business with 20+ staff, onboarding, or events is a candidate. You probably decorate for a few of them already.
Lead with the HR headache, not the shirts
Open with the pain they feel: collecting sizes, chasing payments, off-brand merch. The store is the relief.
Show them a store, don't describe it
A live example in their colors closes far faster than a pitch. We build the first one for you, free, to show them.
Set allowances and open it
Load the approved gear, set each employee's budget, send the link. From there it runs on its own.
