E-commerce websites are the #1 solution for ordering customized apparel for any company. However, thousands of companies big and small use confusing order forms to provide their employees with branded merchandise. This makes ordering very difficult, and details get lost in the shuffle. Luckily, e-commerce websites create an easy way to manage your customized apparel needs. You don’t even need a degree in computer science to understand it. Below is everything you need to know about setting up an e-commerce store for your company.
What are E-Commerce Websites?
Think of an e-commerce store as the order form of the 21st century. When a company starts with an e-commerce store, office managers no longer need to spend precious time corralling everyone’s order information and money. Instead, the employees go directly to the e-commerce site to order uniforms and company apparel. Once there, the employees see available options, get sizing information, and create their order. Then the website keeps track of employee orders and what apparel was on their order. At the same time, it also handles shipping and payment options.
Benefits of Opening E-Commerce Websites for Your Company
An e-commerce store takes the stress and responsibility of custom apparel off of your office manager. These sites are created easily and can be maintained indefinitely, so your store is always there when you need it. Whether a large number of employees need apparel or a single new hire needs a uniform, an e-commerce site offers more flexibility than a form. Furthermore, e-commerce websites ensure vital information doesn’t end up lost or left out. Employees log in on their own time whenever they need it. The office manager inputs employee stipends to limit overspending. Lastly, delivery options are easy: you pick up merchandise right from Logo Depot, have it delivered directly to employees, or have your entire order shipped to your office.
