Top 10 Tips to a Successful Team Store
1. Promote. Share your team store URL everywhere. Check out our promotion checklist here.
2. Less is more. Keep your categories and custom items at a minimum. More choices does not equal more sales.
3. Social Media. Share your Store URL on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat! Check out some sample post and tweets here.
4. Did I mention promote? Send emails to your whole team announcing the store is open. Link to your store from your team website. Remind team that shopping at the store supports your program with 8% cashback. Check out a sample email here.
5. Mix it up. Add new spirit ware before big meets, before the holidays, and other team events.
6. Make it easy. Create categories by groups on your team. Name the category the group name, and include all the gear that group needs for the season.
7. Keep your items affordable. Each instance of customization has a price, don't add more than two logos per item this will cause the price of the item to go up.
8. Help is a call away. Need help with designs, logos, or setting up a store? Our team division art department is here to help and its FREE. Contact us at teams@swimoutlet.com or call 800-469-7122.
