If you’re ordering frequently or in large volumes, my turnkey swag programs and web stores offer convenience, simplicity, and advanced features to enhance your branding and marketing efforts.
What Are Swag Programs & Web Stores?
Swag programs and custom web stores are designed for clients who regularly order branded merchandise and apparel. These programs provide a more organized approach with preferred pricing, advanced features, and inventory management solutions. They make it easy for employees and customers to access branded items through an intuitive and user-friendly online store.
While you can always order branded merchandise and apparel from S.MICHAEL Creative Branding one order at a time, many clients find that having a streamlined program simplifies their task and yields superior results.

Swag Program & Web Store Offerings
Basic Swag Programs
Our Basic Swag Programs are designed as reorder systems that provide preferred pricing and personalized assistance in developing each specific use case. These programs do not include inventory management and fulfillment solutions or a web store. They are ideal for smaller clients with lower volume needs who have in-house capabilities for managing inventory and fulfillment. Common use cases for Basic Swag Programs include:
- Customer Gift Packs
- New Hire Kits
- Tradeshow Items
- General Swag
There is no fee to create a Basic Swag Program. You only pay for the branded merchandise and apparel that you order.

Full-Service Inventory Management
Managing inventory in-house can be a logistical nightmare, involving significant time, space, and resources. By partnering with S.MICHAEL Creative Branding, you can eliminate these headaches and streamline your operations.
I partner with global industry-leading companies specializing in warehousing and fulfillment, with facilities in multiple US states and abroad. When an order is placed on your custom web store, it instantly syncs with the warehouse fulfillment center to pick, pack, and ship out the same day. This ensures rapid and accurate order processing, reducing the burden on your internal resources.
Advantages of Third-Party Inventory Management
- Efficiency: Orders are processed and shipped on the same day they are placed.
- Accuracy: Minimize errors in order fulfillment.
- Scalability: Easily handle high volumes of orders without strain on your in-house team.
- Cost Savings: Reduce costs associated with managing and storing inventory in-house.
By choosing a third-party solution like the one I offer, you gain access to advanced inventory management systems and a network of warehouses equipped to handle all aspects of order fulfillment. This means you can focus on growing your business while ensuring your branded merchandise is managed professionally and efficiently.
Why Choose S.MICHAEL Creative Branding?
For more than a decade, I have personally overseen the sale, design, construction, and customization of more than a dozen web stores for business clients. This includes web stores built and managed for clients at S.MICHAEL Creative Branding, plus stores developed during my prior employment at Promoventures, Inc., where developing swag programs and web stores was my primary role.
During my tenure at Promoventures, Inc., I acquired the skills and experience required to manage such programs at scale. This included building and managing the multi-million dollar web store for Makita Power Tools, the renowned international tool company.
