Top Marketing Tips

Every shop you create includes built-in marketing tools designed to help you promote the shop, drive early engagement, and support long-term client adoption. The platform provides three categories of tools:

  • Share Tools — direct links, social sharing, QR codes

This guide outlines every tool available and explains how to use each one effectively.

Share Tools

These features make it simple to distribute your shop link and help clients begin using their shop immediately.

Direct Links

Each shop includes a unique URL you can copy and share with clients. Use this link in:

  • Emails

  • Text messages

  • Client presentations

Social Share Buttons

With one click, you can share your shop link across social channels including:

  • Instagram

  • LinkedIn

  • WhatsApp

  • X (formerly Twitter)

Shop QR Code

Each shop includes an auto-generated QR code:

  • Add it to printed materials, packaging inserts, posters, or displays

  • Use it in presentations

  • Keep it for quick access during events

Many customers discover and access shops simply by scanning the QR code—no link-typing required.

Recommended Sales Strategies

These strategies help you use shops as proactive selling tools—not just ordering portals.

Present Shops Before Clients Ask

Create a sample shop (using their branding or placeholder assets) before a meeting. This positions you as:

  • Prepared

  • Strategic

  • Modern

  • Value-focused

Keep Shops Purpose-Driven

Shops perform best when curated around a clear use case:

  • Employee merch

  • Events

  • Fundraisers

  • Team gear

  • Onboarding kits

  • Holiday gifting

Clients respond more strongly to focused assortments than generic catalogs.

Use the Kick-Start Promotion During Launch Calls

When explaining the shop, highlight:
"Everyone gets a free tee during the first 14 days—just visit the shop and check out."

Mentioning this offer during your launch call is a proven way to increase early engagement and first-week order volume.

Keep the Shop Active as a Digital Catalog

Explain to clients that the shop:

  • Replaces outdated PDFs and one-sheets

  • Shows exactly what can be ordered

  • Allows orders at any time

  • Removes the need for “quote and wait” workflows

This reframing helps clients see the shop as an always-on resource, which significantly increases long-term usage and repeat orders.

  • Drive early engagement

  • Increase order volume

  • Provide clients with clear, professional launch materials
