But what if you could use that same store-building power to *find* new customers, not just serve existing ones? Whether you’re outfitting a youth team or helping a business launch a branded merch store, there’s no shortage of potential clients. The challenge is getting in front of them. With Chipply in your toolbox, you’ve got everything you need to win them over. Let’s look at a few easy ways to turn more conversations into custom stores. --- ### **Demo Stores = Instant Buy-In** Sometimes the best pitch is showing—not telling. With Chipply, it takes minutes to spin up a sample store for: - A local high school sports team - A coffee shop or brewery - A youth league fundraiser - A small business swag launch Use these mockups in your outreach. Send a quick email or DM with a link and say: “Here’s what your own online merch store could look like—we can build this out, run the sales, and take care of everything.” When potential customers can see the vision, they’re far more likely to say yes. --- ### **Tap Into Local Connectors** Coaches, PTA members, gym owners, small business leaders—these are the people already connected to the communities you want to serve. Reach out and offer a free sample or set up a test store for their team, event, or brand. One strong connection can lead to five more. --- ### **Start the Conversation in Facebook Groups** Local community groups are packed with potential leads—especially: - “Moms of \[Your City\]” - “Small Biz Support” networks - “Youth Sports & Activities” groups Don’t sell. Share value: “Here’s how one local team raised $1,200 with a custom store—no inventory, no tracking orders.” Helpful posts like these spark real interest. --- ### **Let Referrals Work for You** Your current customers already trust you—make it easy for them to refer you. Offer a simple incentive: - $100 store credit - A free custom tee - 10% off their next order Include a line in your thank-you emails: “Know someone who could use a custom store? Send them our way and get rewarded.” --- ### **Show Them What Their Merch Could Look Like** Before they ever ask, mock up a couple of items. A logo on a hoodie. A slogan on a cap. Even a quick design in Canva goes a long way. Send it with a message like: “Here’s what your team or business could be rocking this season. We can have a store live in 24 hours—interested?” --- ### **Don’t Wait—Be Where the Action Is** Events are a perfect opportunity to show off what you do. Set up a small table or booth at: - Local tournaments - School fundraisers - Pop-up markets - Town fairs Bring samples, flyers, and a QR code linking to your demo store. One good conversation can turn into your next big client. --- ### **Make Content That Educates (and Sells)** Use Instagram, Facebook, or even short blog posts to answer questions people didn’t know they had: - “How to Fundraise for Your School Without the Stress” - “The Easiest Way to Launch Custom Swag for Your Staff” - “What Makes a Great Merch Store (and What to Avoid)” Your content doesn’t need to be fancy—it just needs to be helpful. And when the time comes to launch a store, they’ll think of you first. --- ## **You’ve Got the Tools—Now Go Find the Customers** Chipply gives you the speed, structure, and flexibility to set up and process stores that practically sell themselves. All you need is a smart approach to finding the right people. So don’t wait. Start reaching out, showing mockups, and planting the seed. Because once someone sees how easy it is to run a custom store with you, they’ll be back again—and again. And better yet, they’ll tell others about the experience, bringing even more customers your way. --- Want help building a sample store or creating outreach materials?
