Online Company Stores – Manages Marketing Assets

Building Online Company Stores!

What is an on-line Company store and why should your Company have one?

Most often e-commerce is thought of as a purchasing platform for Companies that sell their products either B2B or B2C.  But have you considered how eCommerce could be used internally?

Imagine your entire team, regardless of geography or location, having access 24/7 to all your Company’s marketing assets. For example sales brochures and presentation pieces, corporate apparel and uniforms, recognition and awards gifts – all at their fingertips.

This e-commerce solution or on-line company store as we like to call it is particularly beneficial to companies with multiple locations.

Securing marketing collateral is often left to the last minute without much time to respond.  At times, employees are left to their own devices to come up with something on the fly.  If they are not well versed in brand guidelines the products may or may not reflect the brand appropriately.

A brand manager knows the intricacies of logo guidelines.  When pantone shades, proper spacing, correct font style and size are not known company wide a Company runs the risk of brand inconsistencies.

For marketers particularly those supporting large multi-location organizations this is an all too familiar example. At the last minute you find out that there is an upcoming event or meeting that requires sales collateral, promotional materials, corporate apparel and there is little time for you to prepare.  You make a mad dash to the storeroom to see what you can find.  The leftover items may not be ideally suited to this application, the shirts may not be the right size but it’s all you have so it will have to do.  Is there a better way?  What if you could automate this process?

That’s right; imagine automating your brand assets so that all employees could have access 24/7 to pre-approved marketing materials. Click here for demo if you are ready to see how it works now?
