Bringing a brand to life isn’t easy.
Organizations that want to create stronger brand affinity must invest in thoughtfully created company swag and branded merchandise.
Doing so is a proven strategy that builds community by giving prospects, customers, and employees a way to relate to your brand. Both internally and externally, it raises awareness and establishes a brand image that’s reflective of company culture and values.
However, swag usually falls flat because brands just aren’t thinking about it right.
Most marketers didn’t go to school to learn how to source swag—in turn, that can create a grey area in execution and budgeting. And marketers don’t have the time or money to spend on going back and forth between vendors, reviewing invoices, and creating a distribution plan. Not to mention, ensuring that people would actually use or wear the products often isn’t prioritized which shows in the bottom line.
That’s why we created Postal Brand.
Postal Brand provides an out-of-the-box branded, customizable company swag storefront requiring no custom building. Postal Brand centralizes, consolidates, and manages inventory of all your branded items for any use case.
Postal Brand is part of Postal’s growing product suite and an extension of Postal Engage. You are now able to create custom branded items, store and warehouse, and track all inventory within one single corporate gifting platform.
Users can shop your public company swag store with custom branded gift cards or credit cards for easy checkout. This allows for a personalized shopping experience where users can choose the item, style, and size of your branded items and put in the correct location to ship.
