And because we're ecommerce experts tailored specifically to the uniform industry, we've incorporated all the features you'll need to set up and run a successful Private Store. Read on, and give us a call when you're ready to add this powerful tool to your online store.

Also, a quick reminder that our survey is still available, for those of you who haven't yet let us know your top choices for catalogs to add to the UniformMarket Store System library. The survey is quick – answer just one essential question – and we'll do what we can to get as many of the most-requested vendors on board as possible. Click here to take the survey.

Private Store by LocationPowerful
Private Stores

Imagine you're in the market for new tires for your car. You're staring at a wall of tires at the local discount tire store, and you have no idea what tread is best for your weather conditions. You think you've picked the perfect set, but the salesman tells you they aren't available in the right size for your car. So you ask which ones will fit, and have to start the selection process all over again.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a store that sells just the tires that fit your car, are optimized for your region's weather conditions, and don't cost an arm and a leg? Wouldn't it be even better if they would install the tires while you wait in their comfortable waiting room?

That's what our Private Stores are like for your customers. A private store is stocked with only the uniform apparel and equipment for a specific uniform program. Whatever is in the private store for a set client has been approved for that client's specifications. Individuals can select their size, payment option, and even add customized embroidery – all in a manner they know will fit with their employer's requirements. It's an entire store stocked with products just for them!

Private Stores can be set up to cater to a variety of groups of customers,
such as:

View Demo By Location
This is an example of a store servicing several hospitals in a group with the select group of products easily accessed for quick and easy ordering.
   
View Demo By Department
This is an example of a private store where each department is offered only their color options that are specific to their department.
   
View Demo By Job Function
This is an example of a private store that has a bundle created, allowing the users to buy all the items they need at once with only a single "add to cart" button. It's ideal for uniform programs with specific apparel per job function.

Private stores come fully stocked with full shopping cart functions, product and pricing controls, and easy-to-use decoration and personalization options. You can even set how customers pay for their merchandise, including credit card, payroll deduction, purchase orders, employee allowance, or a combination. We've thought of everything needed to customize the experience for your customers.

Stores can also be set up with different security levels. Low-level security stores are publicly visible. This is perfect for stores who offer goods to both the general public and their employees. Promotional product and apparel program would fit into this category. The next step up in security is medium-level security stores. These have a customer-wide password that allows all employees or locations access to the store. Individual customers then set up their own account with custom login and password. This level is suited for hospitality and health care programs. Our highest level security stores – great for police, security, and other highly-regulated industries – gives each user an individual user name and password before they can enter the store. In this way, you can grant or remove access as needed.

Private store capability can be enough to land a big contract with a new client or to add a higher level of service for your existing clients. It can also help streamline your business by reducing returns and mistakes in ordering. Give us a call at 858-345-1212 to learn more, or sign up for your own private store capabilities!
