There are hundreds of branded merch platforms where you can manage merch tasks. However, the Swag42 Platform has distinct advantages. Let’s explore them together.
Anne, an event manager, was drowning in emails, chats, and calls to check supplier statuses. It was one week before the trade show, and the chaos only got worse.
For Anne, every event meant juggling multiple vendors, as she had to track the branded merch production, organize delivery, and manage lost shipments. She also struggled to find a place to store all these heavy boxes onsite before and after the event and to carry them all to the booth.
At the same time, Richard, an HR manager of a 3K-employee IT company, was preparing for a summer corporate party. Branded merch occupied the entire HR office with only narrow paths left and Richard went mad at checking and counting 3K+ merch packs in his small room.
Is there a simpler way of doing the merch job for Anne and Richard?
We know the answer.
Order and track branded merch online
The secret is in two simple actions:
- Entrust everything to one supplier: merch design, production, quality control, warehousing, and delivery to the booth. The fewer people are involved, the less mess and stress will be.
- Сentralize all merch tasks: manage design approvals, payments, statuses, and order history online in a single place.
And these two vitals meet in the Swag42 Platform.
The Swag42 Platform integrates all your swag-related tasks into one convenient dashboard. It helps HR, marketing, event, and branding managers control every step, from swag design to production and delivery, while exporting all order and financial data.

Why do companies love Swag42 Platform?
- Free unlimited access to all functionality, including a swag shop setup.
- Brand design center. The platform allows smooth designer collaboration. You can upload logos, choose colors, provide design requirements, suggest edits, and approve final mockups. All design stages are tracked, and mockups are stored in the corporate account.
All design iterations are included in the price. Your dedicated Swag42 designer will work with you on as many iterations as needed to create a design that reflects your brand’s unique identity.
- Fair delivery cost. You don’t pay additional fees for delivery; it is only what the logistics partner invoices.
- Free storage. You don’t pay for storing merch at our warehouse.
- 100% visibility of the order status and payment history.
- All-round support. Every user has a dedicated personal designer and account manager to guide them through the process and ensure the best merch ordering and management experience.
- 1 minute to set up a Farfetch-like corporate swag shop.
Beat branded merch headaches
For marketing & event managers: no hassle and mental load
Marketing and event teams know the pains of over-ordering or running out of merch at the worst possible moment. With the Swag42 Platform, there is no more last-minute panic or wasted inventory, as you can:
- Plan and order campaign and event swag in advance;
- Take advantage of wholesale pricing;
- Store everything in our warehouses for on-demand worldwide shipping.
Moreover, event managers (like Anne, with whom I started the story) often suffer from back pain as they have to bring heavy and bulky merch boxes to events. They also manage delivery delays and lost shipments and get overloaded by contractor coordination.
Swag42 Platform consolidates all orders, payments, and shipments into one intuitive dashboard. And if you’re tired of carrying heavy merch to events, the swag shop based on the platform lets attendees redeem their gifts digitally while items are shipped directly to their doors.
For HR managers: no manual counting and office mess
Well, how can the platform help Richard? HR managers often fill their offices with swag, manually tracking employee gifts and organizing every delivery. The Swag42 Platform offers storage and fulfillment services, allowing them to manage swag inventory online.
So, the only thing Richard has to do is import employee data once and let the platform handle global deliveries on demand.
Lifehack: Instead of guessing which gifts employees will like, why not let them choose? The internal swag shop allows employees to select gifts, ensuring higher satisfaction and reducing waste.
Look at the company swag store that Swag42 set up for CoinsPaid:

For brand managers: branded merch consistency
Keeping branding consistent across swag can be challenging, especially when different teams make unapproved branding modifications when ordering swag.
Swag42 Platform helps employer brand managers create curated collections of branded merchandise that align with the company’s identity, visualize how items look together, and maintain a cohesive brand identity across all merch drops.
Lifehack: Beyond design consistency, the swag shop gives insights into employee and client preferences, helping to refine the merch strategy over time.
For sales teams: using branded merch to win more deals
For sales teams, merch is a powerful tool for building client relations. With the Swag42 Platform, they always have access to the swag stock and send personalized branded gifts to warm up cold leads or nurture existing clients.
Without disrupting their workflows, sales managers click and send gifts and don’t manually track shipments. This is how the Swag42 swag shop for customers looks like:

Lifehack: Looking to boost repeat orders? Use the internal merch shop to send surprise gifts for birthdays, milestones, or appreciation gestures—turning one-time buyers into long-term customers.

Though Anne and Richard are only imaginary characters, we regularly gain positive feedback from our real platform users:

We felt engaged in every stage of our merch design and creation, and overall, the process was seamless without any delays.
We only needed a support team regarding payment to clarify a few details. All the rest was super easy to handle through the platform, which turned out very convenient and easy to use.

A custom merch shop is a fantastic way to grab attention. It’s not just about giving physical gifts but creating a personalized shopping-like experience. Plus, it makes life so much easier for event managers.
With just a few clicks, managers reorder items before the event, while attendees pick what they like and have it shipped directly to their homes.
