iCoStore provides the complete solution for apparel, promotional products and print needs. Your success is our success. We do things the right way and take pride in our work.
Our Story
iCoStore was founded in 2002, just as the internet was starting to change the world. New industries were popping up. Old ones were dying. The first iPhone was still five years out. Blockbuster Video was going strong, the first iPod had just been released and you still needed to call your travel agent to book a flight, hotel or rental car. Facebook and YouTube didn’t exist. This was the beginning of a major paradigm shift—not only in business, but in our daily lives…

Tom Meissner
President & Founder
Tom Meissner founded Sedona Golf Products in his college apartment (1994) after working at a golf course during a year abroad in Spain. His original goal was to create a line of kid’s clubs to sell in Spain, however, Tom’s plan shifted, and he ended up designing and decorating custom golf and travel products for the US corporate market. In the late 1990s Tom started building online stores to sell more golf products. He quickly realized that there was an even greater opportunity to build online company stores to sell corporate apparel and other promo products on demand, with no minimums.
Tom founded iCoStore in 2002. His background in the corporate market, product design and decoration gave him a unique perspective on company stores. Tom built a team to design & build the custom platform that powers iCoStore. Today, iCoStore runs over 120 online stores focused on only on B2B. Tom actively runs iCoStore and heads up new client acquisition.
When he is not working or coaching youth sports, Tom likes to play golf, head to the beach or mountains with his family to sail, kayak, bike, hike and snowboard.
