Fashivly’s Post

At the end of his interview with ASI SVP Michele Bell, Hit Promotional Products's own CJ Schmidt says he "still question[s] how orders and artwork come over" and envisions "there will be a time very soon where the end-buyer...will be able to click a button...not need a proof...not need 18 steps" to get their #promotionalproducts without any friction. That time is now. With Safsira's REST API, you can empower end-buyers to take charge of product design, pre-press, and pricing. No more emails. No more miscommunications. Just the right product, every time, without issue - thanks to software. Watch the entire interview from Advertising Specialty Institute to hear more from CJ and Michele! P.S. - Safsira's #Shopify app is coming soon! Distributors with Shopify webstores can now populate a store with the best products in just a few clicks - while our software handles decoration and fulfillment. https://lnkd.in/gtsQuJz5 #swag #corporategifting #promo #distributors #gifting #rewards #asi #ppai #promotionalproducts

What do you consider when you're buying a product or a service? Is it the brand, the price, the locations, or reviews? Or something else? In a brand-new online series #PurchasingPowers, presented by @ConsumersInternational and produced by BBC Storyworks, discover the stories of how listening to consumers can help us and other brands create a better, smarter and safer marketplace, launching 22 August.

At my shop we saw an average 50% turnover each season, and a major contributor to that was $9/hr wasn't sustainable for most people. Brands invest 100s of thousands of $$ into marketing, digital ads, and SEO, but lose out on sales because a shop staff being paid $9/hr hasn't had the time to learn their product yet. The kicker is a digital ad targets anyone, a retail employee is speaking to consumers most likely already in "buy mode" I'm not saying any brand who isn't spiffing shop pros cash for every sale is doing it wrong, that wouldn't be sustainable either. What I am saying is that any brand solely relying on 1 PK clinic per year (or 0 in many cases) to build a relationship with shop folks is missing out on creating brand champion that can impact purchasing decisions when customers are already in "buy mode". Also cash isn't the only route here. Most of these pros are gear junkies (takes one to know one), when they feel appreciated you'd be surprised the lengths they go to advocate for you! Curious to hear Colin True & David Karstad & Eoin Comerford's thoughts on this sometime on the Rock Fight - cash spiffs, prodeal codes, free product giveaways; sharing the love or selfish detriment to society?

Max: You know how some stores make you feel welcome like you belong there? That’s how some YouTube channels make me feel too. It’s more than just watching videos. Sofia: Yeah, it’s like they’re inviting us into their world, not just selling us stuff. Makes me think we should do something similar for our shop. Max: Exactly, sharing our story and what we care about could make a difference. It’s not just about products; it’s about making friends with our customers. Sofia: We could start by telling them why we started our business and what makes us excited to open the shop every day. People love real stories. Max: And maybe show some behind-the-scenes stuff, like how we choose our products or a day in our life at the shop. Make it personal, you know? Sofia: That’s a great idea! Let’s make our customers feel like they’re part of our journey, not just shoppers. It could turn them into our biggest fans.
