Swag42 Platform: branded merch without stress

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.

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.

• 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.

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.

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:

Core features that make life easier

• One platform for everything—Order, track, and send merch globally with several clicks. 
• Real-time swag stock tracking—There is no need to count and check swag manually in your office. Monitor product availability in your account, and if you are running out of particular sizes or need more merch for a specific campaign, reorder with a click.
• On-demand global shipping—There is no need to manually order multiple global deliveries (often via different logistic companies)—just insert the swag recipients’ data and click to send. 
• Corporate swag shops—Create the company swag shop in 1 minute. Assign the points cost to every item and let people redeem bonus points for the swag of their choice.
• Transparency—Make reports easily with complete visibility of your orders, payments, communications, and all the design history.
