1. Site Design
The first thing that you want to think about is the design your site will have. You want the design for your company swag store to be attractive and user friendly. Take your company’s branding into consideration and have a professional design the site or tackle the design yourself.
2. Payments and Shipping
You definitely do not want to forget to set up the site to accept payments or else it will defeat the purpose. The goal of a site is to avoid handing catalogs to employees and having them give you their sizes and manually ordering the clothing for them.
You might even want to consider giving out digital coupons and promo codes to give to your employees for a job well done or on their work anniversary date.
3. Choose Your Products
The best products will help leverage your brand and have others notice it. You want employers to associate your company name with top of the line products that your employees are proud to sport and take around.
Do not choose products that scream frumpy instead opt for products that you too can be proud to walk around with. Consider choosing products with well-known brands such as Nike, Gildan, etc.
Benefits

Another benefit is that the company can save money because employees can order whatever they want and pay for it out of pocket. You can offer incentives where you pay for certain items or hand out gift cards for a job well done but you do not have to buy every single piece of apparel for every employee in your company.
One last benefit worth mentioning is that you can solidify your brand name, appearance, and reputation. Utilizing a platform like SplashBrands employee store can significantly enhance the efficiency of your online company store, offering on-demand production and a wide range of customizable products, aligning perfectly with your brand’s reputation and appearance.
