What is a Tailored Store?
It’s your company’s very own merch shop, simple as that. Think of it as a one-stop, branded storefront packed with carefully chosen products, designed exclusively for your team, your events, and your culture. No more chasing up orders from different suppliers or risking off-brand gear showing up at your next event.
It’s all about central marketing control. You hand-pick the products, approve the designs, and make sure everything aligns with your brand guidelines. Meanwhile, your team, whether it’s a few offices or a national network – can easily access approved merch when they need it.
Best of all, there’s no upfront costs, no contracts, and no stock piling up in warehouses. Plus, with no wasted products, it’s a more sustainable way to manage your branded merchandise, great for your budget and the planet.

Why Internal Merch Stores Are a Game-Changer for Company Culture
Merchandise isn’t just for customers, it’s for your people, too. Giving your team access to branded merch they actually love helps build pride and connection. It makes your staff feel like they belong.
A Tailored Merch Store keeps it simple. Your employees can access their own online shop stocked with curated, on-brand promotional products whenever they need them. Whether it’s uniforms, event giveaways, or welcome packs for new starters it’s all in one place, ready to go.
And let’s not forget sustainability. With no wasted stock sitting around, your company can hit those eco-friendly targets and still deliver top-notch merch your team will actually want to use.
Key Benefits of Tailored Stores for Your Business
Central Marketing Control
Brand consistency is everything. A Tailored Merch Store puts marketing firmly in the driver’s seat. You pre-approve every product, logo, and design to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. No more rogue colours, incorrect logos, or mismatched merchandise.
No Upfront Costs, No Contracts
Traditional merch stores often mean stocking up in bulk, paying upfront, and hoping your team actually orders the products. Tailored Merch Stores flip that on its head. No contracts, no warehousing, and you only pay when you need products dispatched. Simple, flexible, and risk-free.
Zero Waste = Sustainability Win
Stocking up only to see it gather dust is wasteful and costly. With a Tailored Merch Store, products are printed on demand, meaning no leftover stock, no landfill, and no wasted spend. Plus, every product we offer is Certified Carbon Offset, ticking another box for your sustainability goals.
Flexibility to Suit Every Event
Need a quick batch of merch for an event? Want seasonal products or something on-trend? No problem. Tailored Stores give you the flexibility to add, remove, or update products without the hassle of traditional stock management. Keep your range fresh and your team engaged.
Budget-Friendly Dispatch Options
Shipping individual items to homes gets expensive fast. Tailored Stores let you dispatch in bulk to offices or events, cutting costs dramatically. More savings, less hassle and you can hand out merchandise personally, creating connection and impact in one go.
