Old Way vs. Your New Pro Shop Way

Same three problems. Two very different answers.

Old Way
$2K to $5K
Bulk-Order Gamble
  • Inventory from past orders still in your office
  • XS, S, XL sit in the bin for months
  • Pieces go missing. You give the rest away
Your Pro Shop
$0 UPFRONT
No Inventory Ever
  • Member orders one, we print one
  • Zero cash tied up. Zero boxes to store
  • Profit hits your dashboard, not a bin
Old Way
3 WEEKS
To Reorder Anything
  • 24, 36 or 48-piece minimums per color
  • Charged per color, per placement, per design
  • Sold out of sizes or colors employees want
  • Can't say yes without $2K + 3 weeks
Your Pro Shop
~1 WEEK
Door to Door
  • No minimums. Order 1 or 100, same price
  • Unlimited colors, designs, placements
  • Employees pick size and color at checkout
  • USA printed and shipped free to their door
Old Way
2 WASHES
Until It's Cardboard
  • Print cracks, shirt stiffens, color fades
  • Employees stop wearing it
  • You and the team reach for off-brand polos
Your Pro Shop
50+ WASHES
Still Soft
  • Premium blanks: Bella+Canvas, Champion, Sport-Tek
  • Soft on day 1, soft after 50 washes
  • Coaches reach for the brand hoodie, not the other brand

Founder & Ops Reviews

Hear from ecommerce startup founders and ops leads running this today.

Quality, sizing, time. The three things every owner wants to know about, answered by the brandes already running their apparel through us.

MR
Mike R.
Founder
Q: DO EMBROIDERED ECOMMERCE STARTUP POLOS LOOK LIKE A REAL BRAND OR LIKE GENERIC SWAG?

"Series-seed DTC skincare startup, 18 employees, growing the customer-support and ops teams fast. Used to bulk-order embroidered polos from a corporate swag supplier. Stiff fabric, off-center embroidery, every new hire pushed them to the bottom of the drawer. Embroidered Sport-Tek and Gildan polos through the Pro Shop. Sharp chest crest with the product wordmark, fit cleanly on the customer team at our first brand conference booth. Prospects asked who designed the polo."

JT
Jenna T.
Brand Lead
Q: A NEW REMOTE OPS HIRE STARTS MONDAY AND I NEED A DAY-1 KIT TO HIS APARTMENT.

"Used to ship Day-1 kits from our 3PL warehouse to new hires in five states, late half the time and missing the right sizes. Now every new hire picks their own size and color from the onboarding link the moment they sign the offer. Remote ops hire who started Monday in Chicago had the founder hoodie, embroidered polo and team tee by Friday. No purchase order, no pick-pack invoice, no 3PL ticket."

RK
Ryan K.
Ops Lead
Q: I AM THE FOUNDER, I AM RUNNING ADS AND I AM SHIPPING THE NEXT PRODUCT LINE. WHO BUILDS THIS?

"Solo founder bootstrapped, 14 employees, also running paid acquisition on the side. Done-For-You plan built the entire brand store: new-hire kits, founder hoodies, embroidered customer-support polos, warehouse-crew tees, conference launch tees and a customer-facing brand-line drop. I send the brand logo and the quarter theme. The customer brand-line drop alone covered two months of payroll our first quarter."

Founder, Ops Lead & Brand Lead Questions

The questions we get asked most

Can we print our ecommerce startup brand logo, product wordmark and team callouts on custom ecommerce startup apparel?+

Yes. Every tee, hoodie, sweatshirt, embroidered polo and embroidered hat supports your ecommerce startup brand logo, product wordmark, founding year, team callouts (Founders, Ops, Growth, Customer Support, Fulfillment) and launch art. Ecommerce startup apparel for new hires, team tees for the warehouse and ops crew, embroidered polos for the customer team and brand-line merch customers can buy in your post-purchase upsell. Unlimited design elements on one side, no per-color fee.

Do you handle the rest of the ecommerce startup costs side, like packaging, mailers, custom boxes, dunnage, stickers or warehouse supplies?+

No. Custom mailers, branded boxes, dunnage, stickers, polybags, packing tape, fulfillment-warehouse supplies and the rest of the ecommerce startup costs stack come from packaging suppliers and 3PL vendors. What we do best: the apparel side of the startup. Founder hoodies, embroidered ops polos, team tees for the warehouse crew, conference launch tees, customer-facing gift-with-purchase apparel and customer brand-line merch. The branded gear the founding team wears on Loom calls and customers wear after their first order.

Do you have apparel for ecommerce startup jobs across founders, ops, growth, customer support and the fulfillment crew?+

Yes. The catalog covers the full ecommerce startup work-attire spectrum. Premium triblend tees for the growth and engineering casual default, embroidered Sport-Tek polos for the customer-support crew, Independent Trading Co. hoodies for the founding team Slack calls, Bella+Canvas premium cotton for the warehouse fulfillment crew and Gildan embroidered polos for trade-show booth duty. XS through 3XL, womens cuts on most lines. Wear the founder hoodie on the investor call, the embroidered polo on the customer demo and the warehouse tee on inbound-receiving day.

Can new hires and customers order their ecommerce startup apparel and gift-with-purchase merch directly from the shop URL?+

That is the whole point. Drop your ecommerce startup shop link in the new-hire onboarding doc, the team Slack, the customer post-purchase upsell email, the order confirmation page or the brand Instagram bio. New hires from a Tuesday start have their team tee, founder hoodie and embroidered polo by the second Friday. Customers from a Wednesday first-order have their brand-line tee by the next weekend. Run gift-with-purchase, post-purchase upsell and team onboarding kits off the same permanent shop URL.

Will founder hoodies, team tees and embroidered ops polos hold up to investor pitches, warehouse shifts, conference floors and weekly washes?+

Yes. Embroidered Sport-Tek polos, Gildan premium cotton pique polos, Bella+Canvas premium tees, Champion crewnecks, Independent Trading Co. hoodies, embroidered Yupoong and Richardson hats. Real launch-grade apparel, not the thin tee from a generic ecommerce startup swag catalog. Founders wear them through investor pitches and Loom demos, the ops crew wears them through inbound-receiving shifts and the customer team wears them through booth weeks at the brand conference. Embroidery still sharp, fabric still holding.

We already use Custom Ink or SwagUp for ecommerce startup swag and team merch. Why switch?+

Three reasons most ecommerce startups switch within a quarter. Shipping: theirs charges $8 to $10 per order, hidden. Ours is free, every order. Fees: theirs charges per color, per placement, per embroidery, plus warehouse and pick-pack at SwagUp. Ours is one flat base price, unlimited colors, unlimited placements. Permanence: theirs is one-off campaign drops for launches. Ours is a permanent ecommerce startup apparel store at your URL year-round, ready for every new hire, every conference, every customer gift-with-purchase drop and every brand-line release.

Do I pay anything when an employee or customer orders? What about founder polos and brand-line tees?+

Zero cost when an employee or customer orders. Customers pay the retail price you set. Your $8 to $16 profit lands directly in the brand dashboard. The rest covers our base price for printing, packing, and free USA shipping. For founder polos, leadership-offsite hoodies, conference launch tees and brand-line drops, build a Leadership & Brand Line section and self-order at base price. Watch every order land in real time on your ops dashboard between fulfillment cycles.
