Define who will order

Start with employees, managers, locations or event teams. Identify who selects products, who approves purchases and whether orders will be paid for by the organization or by individual buyers.

Build a focused assortment

A small, approved range can make decisions easier. Consider an everyday tee, a polo, a hat and a useful accessory before expanding into seasonal collections.

Decide how fulfillment should work

Discuss order windows, individual shipments, bulk delivery and any inventory needs. These choices affect the technology and operations required; they should be agreed before the store is launched.

Create a repeatable routine

Assign an owner for product updates, artwork approval and employee questions. Review the assortment periodically and plan for new hires and seasonal demand.
