Built-In Marketing Tools (Available for Every Shop)

Every shop includes a suite of ready-to-use marketing and engagement tools to simplify promotion and support shop success:

Public Shop Link & QR Code

• Every shop gets a shareable public URL. This is the primary “entry point” you can give to your client.

• A QR code is auto-generated for each shop — ideal for print materials, stickers, flyers, posters, or event signage.

• A built-in link shortener helps keep shared URLs clean and professional.

Quick-Share Buttons (Social Media & Email Ready)

• Within the shop admin, there are buttons for instant sharing to major social channels or email.

• This makes it easy to broadcast the shop immediately when it goes live — no manual copy-paste or formatting needed.

Kick-Start Promotion

• A built-in short-term incentive: the shop can launch with a free-tee offer for a limited 14-day promotional window.

• Helps generate initial orders and creates momentum.

• Removes friction for first-time buyers and helps showcase the product quality.

Prepaid Gift Codes

• Clients can generate prepaid gift-code vouchers to distribute for promotions, giveaways, employee rewards, and other incentives.

• Gift codes can encourage new orders, spur repeat customers, and widen reach (e.g. referrals, incentive programs).

Printable Handout / Flyer Template

• Each shop automatically has a ready-to-print (or PDF-ready) flyer that includes branding, product mock-ups, QR code, and shop link.

• Perfect for physical distribution — events, workplaces, community centers, school halls, meetups, fundraisers.

Client Shop Intro Video

• A short explainer video for clients and their audience covering how the shop works — including how to browse, place an order, and handle shipping.

• Helps reduce support questions and increases confidence for first-time buyers.

• Watch or download the ready-made intro video here.

Reporting & Analytics Tools

• Real-time sales, order, customer, traffic, and conversion reports help clients (and you) see what’s working.

• Use data to adapt marketing, promotions, and drops — helps clients optimize inventory, reorder campaigns, or run seasonal pushes.

How Do You Help Clients Use These Tools Effectively?

Access to built-in marketing tools is only the starting point — sustained shop performance comes from guiding clients through seven proven strategies: launching with a grand-opening bundle, promoting across multiple channels, positioning the shop as an ongoing resource, using gift codes strategically, leveraging QR codes and video, using reporting for growth conversations, and reusing shops for new campaigns. The steps below explain how to apply each one. — success comes from guiding clients through using them intelligently. Here are effective steps and strategies:

1. Launch with a “Grand Opening” Bundle

When first presenting the shop:

• Share the shop link + QR code.

• Distribute the printable flyer (PDF or print version) if they have physical locations or members who prefer offline.

• Enable the Kick-Start Promotion to encourage first orders with a free item.

This gives the shop immediate visibility and creates early momentum.

2. Use Multi-Channel Promotion

Don’t rely only on email or word-of-mouth. Suggest clients share via:

• Social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) — use quick-share buttons.

• Internal communications (Slack, Teams, intranet, workplace bulletin).

• Printed materials — posters in break rooms, event handouts, community boards, physical locations.

• QR codes on packaging, invoices, or product samples — easy for mobile users to scan.

3. Position the Shop as a Go-To Resource, Not a One-Off Sale

Encourage clients to think of the shop as a living catalog rather than a “one-time order form.”
That means:

• Keep the shop live year-round (unless it’s a seasonal/fundraiser)

• Periodically refresh featured products (new colorways, designs, seasonal items)

• Use analytics to identify what sells — promote bestsellers regularly

• Use gift codes or promotions around holidays, events, or milestones

4. Use Gift Codes and Incentives Strategically

Gift codes are powerful for:

• Employee incentives or rewards

• Customer loyalty or referral programs

• Partner promotions or giveaways

• Incentivizing bulk or repeat orders

Use them to drive traffic even when customers are price-sensitive or hesitant to buy multiple items.

5. Offer Visual/Mobile Ease — Leverage QR Codes & Videos

For clients who deal with people in person (e.g. teams, members, employees), a QR code or short intro video significantly reduces friction:

• Scanning a QR code is faster than typing a URL

• Video helps explain the ordering process to first-time users — especially those unfamiliar with online ordering or print-on-demand shops

6. Use Reporting to Fuel Client Conversations & Growth

After launch, check analytics regularly to assess performance:

• Identify top-selling products — suggest upsells or bundles

• Spot slow-moving items — replace or retire them

• Monitor conversion and customer behavior to detect friction or drop-off points

• Use data to justify promotions, new product drops, or re-launch campaigns

7. Reuse or Adjust Shops for New Campaigns

Because shop creation and configuration are fast, you can:

• Update branding, featured products, and promotions

• Relaunch quickly for holidays, events, seasonal campaigns, or new client cohorts

This saves setup time and gives clients flexibility without re-inventing the wheel every time.
