Super System,
Powerful Possibilities
When I joined UniformMarket a few months ago, the feature I was most excited about was the private store system and its amazing ability to create unbelievable sales opportunities for our clients via web site services. The more I get to know about how the development team of UniformMarket has set up the StoreSystem, the more it seems this team has thought of everything!
I want to share how the private store feature can help boost your business and open up new potential customers. You can read all about it in our featured article below. Launch one of these private stores and you'll have a showpiece to get even more customers on board. Give me a call when you're ready to get started!
Remember that we need your help in getting your suppliers to provide us with their catalog of products so that we can load their product lines into your eCommerce sites at the $50.00/per catalog price.
We've also included our schedule for the FREE UMSS webinars for the remainder of this month. Take a look at the topics we're covering and sign up for as many as you like. The more you know about the UMSS, the more you'll be able to leverage this powerful system to raise your bottom line.
Best regards,

Private Stores are Profit Centers
 So let's say you have a client who has an entire uniform program of their own and about 200 employees who need apparel and accessories as part of that program. Or let's say you have a lot of diverse positions within a company so the uniform program is complex with unique uniforms for each role. Or let's say there are about 25 employees and just a few pieces to the program, but each garment comes in a huge assortment of colors, sizes and styles that the end-user can choose from. Sound familiar?
With any of these scenarios – or a dozen more – a private store is the perfect solution to allow the end-users to shop online, order exactly what they want whenever they want, and still remain within the uniform program specifications. Private stores are essentially mini stores just like your big one, but populated with only the approved apparel and accessories that employees of the company may wear on duty. Think of it like your brick-and-mortar store where every customer group has its own corner just for their merchandise.
Private stores can help you improve service to your existing clients and expand into new ones. Now instead of needing your customers to batch their orders for you (which can be a hassle for them and a scramble for you), each person can place their own order whenever they want. You also ease your calls to customer support from individuals asking whether certain products are part of the uniform program or not.
With private stores, you can also court new customers, promising them a completely customized online store. As they make changes to their apparel, it just takes one call or email to you, and suddenly every employee will see the most current available items that fit the uniform code. You can specify items even down to the exact color. Plus you can carry logoed items specific to each of your customers.
We've seen private stores used for situations where the uniforms need to be tightly controlled for security purposes, like police, fire, EMS and security officers. For that reason, private stores are password-protected so only current employees can access the store system. But private stores are also a perfect fit for hospitals and medical staff, restaurant servers and hosts, casino staff, hospitality employees, and any number of other customer bases. If the customer has multiple locations, end-users can order from your website even when they are located across the country.
You get to use the product catalogs you already have access to on your UMSS site. Just create a private store and restrict the items populated there to only those approved styles, products and colors for the specific client. All this starts with a single phone call to UniformMarket! Give us a call today at 877-415-3300 Ext 3.
