FAQs

What does iCoStore do?

iCoStore builds custom online company stores with on-demand logo merchandise that aligns with and enhance your brand and image. The store is designed for employees to easily access the right products, while following your brand guidelines and budgets. We have a team of experts that understands programs, will consult on best practices, will solve your challenges, offer expertise to enhance your vision and use our technology to execute your program requirements. Once the program launches, you will have a dedicated account manager who becomes an extension of your marketing and HR teams.

Why are iCoStore programs successful?

No two programs are the same. If they were, all companies could run great programs. All promotional products companies have access to rent online store software and can build a basic store. In some cases, this works, but in most cases, they do it so they don’t lose your business. The store may look good, but the real magic is the execution behind the scenes. Most companies are not set up to process thousands of small orders efficiently. To run programs properly, the entire company needs to be structured to run stores. They need to have infrastructure, technology, and the staff to do it. iCoStore has all of these, plus in-house decoration that powers our unique on-demand model which reduces or completely removes all inventory liability.

How do I know if iCoStore is the right fit?

The program needs to be the right fit for both parties. Not all programs are a good fit, so we take time to understand your specific requirements and goals. We are very honest when assessing your program needs and want to make sure we can significantly improve what you have in place and solve any problems you are facing. If we can’t, we can make recommendations on who can. If you come on board, we are focused on running the best on-demand programs anywhere, from implementation to invoicing. You receive all our technology, integrations, merchandisers, in-house decoration, and our full team’s expertise. Nobody runs programs like we do.

What is required to become an iCoStore client?

We partner with clients who need solutions that integrate with their system and want to streamline purchasing apparel, uniforms, promo and print.

Here are a few criteria that we look for in a partner:
• Minimum of $250,000 in annual spend on apparel, promo and print
• Budgets and funding allocated to the program
• B2B or B2E program – No retail facing stores

What is a pop-up store?

A pop-up store is an online company store crafted for a specific purpose and typically featuring a limited buying window. This could entail holiday gifts for employees or special purchases for Nurse’s Week. Usually separate from your main company store, its streamlined checkout ensures easy checkout. We tailor the store and products to your specifications, whether it’s a single-piece redemption store, company-paid items, free shipping, etc. These stores can be deployed quickly to meet your event needs.
