10 Reasons Your Business Needs a Company Store
Are you looking for ways to streamline your company's swag and promotional products process? Look no further than a company store from Whitestone. In today's global and remote work environment, an online swag closet is the perfect solution to keep all of your branded products in one place. With a dedicated representative, a streamlined order process, clear reporting, and budget allocations, opening a company store can save your business time, money, and resources.
Here are ten reasons why your business needs a company store from Whitestone:
1) Online Merch Closet
With a Whitestone company store, all your branded products are stored online–eliminating the need for a physical storage closet. This is especially beneficial for remote and globally distributed teams, allowing employees to browse and order swag conveniently from anywhere in the world.
2) Dedicated Representative
When you open a company store with Whitestone, you’re assigned a dedicated representative who stays up-to-date on the latest retail trends and products. They ensure your brand guidelines are maintained and provide product recommendations, so you don’t have to waste time browsing endless catalogs.
3) Streamlined Order Process
Ordering your swag from the online store is as easy as online shopping. Your company store can feature multiple items, sizes, and silhouettes, making it simple to place bulk orders from team events, onboarding kits, and post-meeting gifts.
4) Clear Reporting & Inventory Management
Our company stores provide real-time reporting, offering insight into order history and inventory levels. You can set minimum stock levels for each product, and Whitestone will automatically reorder when inventory runs low–so you never miss a milestone.
5) Internal Marketing Support
A company store makes it effortless to send new hire kits. Provide employees with a redemption code or set a budget for hiring managers to distribute onboarding kits, ensuring new team members feel welcomed and valued.
6) Brand Consistency
Whitestone acts as your brand champion, ensuring consistency across departments and locations. We help uphold brand guidelines while keeping you informed on what other teams are ordering, providing a centralized hub for all branded merchandise.
7) Ready-to-Go Templates
Your brand’s design templates are stored and ready for future use, making reorders quick and eliminating additional setup fees. This ensures brand consistency while saving time and money.
8) Budget Allocations & Spending Oversight
Set budget allocations for individuals or departments to maintain financial control. Whether it’s a quarterly team budget or a monthly individual allowance, you’ll have clear insight into your team’s swag spending.
9) An HR Partner for Employee Engagement
We become an extension of your HR department when you open a company store with Whitestone. We assist with employee gifting, client gifting, new hire kits, and awards and recognition.
10) Redemption Sites for Seasonal Gifting
Seasonal drops or annual event gifting can be held on our online stores through redemption sites. These sites allow you to open a site for a certain time period, allowing recipients to make a product choice, size selection, and address collection a breeze. Redemption sites make it easier to promote events and choose gifts for special occasions.
