How to sell Promotional Merchandize Online
Promotional merchandise is undoubtedly one of the key gateways to sell more
for businesses dealing in customizable promotional merchandise online. Since
most of the promotional merchandise is ordered by corporate customers and in
bulk, you can earn much more through a single order than compared to individual
product sales.
If you are an offline printer who deals in customized products, it’s time for you to
launch your business online. Having operated in the offline mode for so long you
may not be sure initially how the online model will work. But with little investment

in technology and processes, you can expand your market nationally and even
internationally.
To make your task easier we have explained what you need to do to be able to
sell you merchandise online.
PROCESS TO FOLLOW FOR SELLING ONLINE
STEP 1: SETUP YOUR ONLINE STORE
If you already have an offline printing setup, you just need to set up an
ecommerce website. To be able to sell online you will need to showcase your
entire catalog online with all the product info and pictures and also allow your
customers to order them directly on the store.
STEP 2: STREAMLINE YOUR SUPPLY CHAIN
Tie up with shipping and sourcing partners to fulfill the orders the generated. If
you are receiving orders online your existing sourcing mechanism may not be
enough. On the other side, you will also have to figure out a way to deliver the
orders to your customers by tying up with a suitable shipping partner.
STEP 3: ADD A PRODUCT DESIGNER TO YOUR STORE
You also need to invest in the right product designer tool which will let your
customers design their products directly on the store and hence would eliminate
the need for any physical meeting between the buyer and the seller. Here’s how
to choose the right product designer tool for your store:

● It should be easy to install on your part and easy to use for your
customers. User interface is the most important point to consider while
choosing for a designer tool.
● It should offer a whole lot of features to customize products. For example,
different fonts, masking effects, shadows, etc.
● It should work for any product which is customizable. No matter how many
different kinds of products you deal in, one tool should be enough for all.
● It shouldn’t complicate the checkout process. Once the customer is done
with the customizing, the checkout should be just as simple as for other
products.
BENEFITS OF SELLING PROMOTIONAL MERCHANDISE ONLINE
MORE BUYERS
You might be doing a good business offline as well, but who doesn’t like a few
extra customers? Most of the offline printers have a set of loyal companies who
buy their promotional stuff from them. In case of offline print businesses,
progress in terms of sales is very low, if any. On the other hand, online selling
leads to an extensive market reach. Most of the companies are moving to online
platforms to buy their promotional stuff as it saves their time and an employee’s
labor to manage the chores. The geographical limitation is also removed and
hence you can transact beyond boundaries of your state or country.
LOWER OPERATIONAL COSTS
Selling of promotional products incurs less cost for the seller as producing in bulk
is always cheaper. By selling them online, you can save much more. Operational

costs including electricity bills, store maintenance, hosting customers, etc. are
reduced to a significant level.
RECOGNITION
Last, but definitely one of the most important points to note is that selling online
brings recognition to your business. As your sales grow further, you become a
brand and then customers come to your store without much pursuing.
Recognition and brand is what helps your business grow and succeed further.
