Manatt welcomed their team members in style for their employee retreat in Palm Springs, California! Manatt wanted to create an in-person "pop up" style merch experience, so that individuals could build a custom gift bag on the spot. With a wide arrangement of products, logo decoration methods, and accessories to complete the gift, Manatt was able to give each attendee a complete set of custom merch! Attendees repped their logo all weekend long, and continue to put their new merch to use. By gifting classic, everyday styles to their team, Manatt nailed the goal of gifting merch that would be used beyond the event date.
Merch Solutions: Buy Now, Ship Later
By utilizing our Buy Now, Ship Later Merch Solution, Manatt was able to secure inventory for this larger order, without worrying about finding adequate storage space. By ordering in bulk (and receiving bulk discounts!), while inventory was available, Manatt was prepared in advance and able to check one large part of planning a retreat off their to-do list. The Buy Now, Ship Later program was designed with your busy schedule and budget planning process in mind. Simply place your bulk order, and release your merch as needed! We safely store all of your merch at our facility, meaning no more taking up valuable office space or shipping on your watch. We can even ship your merch directly to the recipient's doorstep! Manatt shipped their entire order directly to the event location, but knowing the merch was ready and prepared ahead of time relieved stress and saved plenty of time!
The Custom Merch
By creating an in-person experience that allowed each attendee to try on sizes and select their custom merch, Manatt didn't have to worry about sizing issues, and saved the element of surprise for their guests! There was no better way to kick off their weekend than by filling up a tote (custom, of course!) full of Manatt merch. Selecting unisex styles also made for an effortless, easy collection for all attendees to choose from!
Denik White Medium Wire-O Notebook: Did you know Denik notebooks are fully custom? That means that from cover to cover, you select every detail, allowing your branding to show on every page. The colorful front and back covers designed for Manatt, paired with a sharp intro text block created the perfect addition to the gift bags.
BIC Clear Blue Intensity Clic Gel Pen: It's always a great idea to pair a new custom notebook or stationery item with a sleek new pen! This pen gave the perfect pop of color that matched a color found in other Manatt logo designs, and attendees were ready to stay organized and take notes all weekend long.
Bella + Canvas Unisex Triblend Sponge Fleece Hoodie: Every weekend-long event requires lots of layering! Attendees stayed comfortable with this unisex full-zip hoody that showed off the Manatt logo on the chest.
Bella + Canvas Unisex Black Jersey Short-Sleeve T-Shirt: A summer event staple is a classic t-shirt! A full-front, screen print logo was the perfect option for this style, as the bright colors popped in the Manatt logo design.
Zusa Black Open Road Trucker Hat: We love adding a sustainable option to any new merch collection! This Zusa hat is ideal for sunny days, and is the perfect accessory to any casual ensemble.
Econscious Black Organic Cotton Large Tote: Attendees were able to pack up their new bundles in a sleek tote bag, which is sure to get plenty of use all year long. Great for weekend trips, commuting and adventures alike!
2oz Hand Sanitizer: Sanitization and cleanliness is always a huge part of making an event a success, and individual hand sanitizers are a great way to ensure of this. Plus, it's another unique way to show off your logo!
How Merchology Made It Happen
With over 400 employees attending this retreat, Manatt needed a vendor who they could rely on. Not only did Merchology source products with high inventory levels at a time when inventory was a hurdle in the industry, but we also didn't sacrifice style and top products. With our multiple decoration methods available, each product had a unique logo application, creating the ultimate custom merch collection.
