Merch Store Opportunities
At Next Wave, our client webstores are deployed on our industry-leading, enterprise-grade platform that manages the full order cycle, including user information, product details, pricing, artwork, inventory, approvals, and billing. Webstores are highly configurable, allowing customers to often utilize a single webstore for many of the following common applications.
- Uniforms and company gear: Provide your employees anywhere in the world easy access to company-branded uniforms, apparel, and promotional products available at company expense, employee expense, or a combination of both. Utilize points as currency for new hires or as part of your total rewards package for employees.
- Franchises and other member organizations: Simplify brand compliance by providing franchisees or association members with online access to uniforms, business cards and other collateral, signage, new location packages, and any other marketing materials they need.
- Sales teams: Create prospecting kits for your national business development team or give your remote account managers access to golf balls, canopies, table covers, hats, and other branded merch for use at sponsored events.
- Appreciation: From annual holiday client and employee gifting to thank you gifts for business partners on a joint project, a webstore makes it simple to tangibly show your appreciation.
- Pop-up shops: One-time or limited-time availability. Ideal for bi-annual uniform refresh, customer events, annual conferences, product launches, or any other occasion where 24/7 accessibility is not necessary or desired.
- Years of Service: Give employees a selection of gifts based on their time with the company. Set it up so that they only see the options for their milestone year that you establish and make it available once or twice a year.
- Rewards: When employees, clients, or suppliers hit a certain benchmark, let them choose from a selection of branded or unbranded items. Completed a certification? Get a reward gift! Hit a spending, flight, stays, or other milestone? Choose your reward!
- Events: Create excitement about the upcoming gala or conference by giving registrants access to exclusive products or say thanks to attendees of your conference with a conference-themed gift store.
An e-commerce site isn’t just about selling merchandise—it’s about enhancing brand visibility, creating visible connections, fostering company pride, and simplifying the purchasing process for everyone connected to your business.
