Using Requestor Stores as a Powerful Sales Tool

Picture this: a customer approaches you to set up an online store. Exciting, right? But then they hand you a list of products they want to include – some notorious for stock issues, others a hassle to decorate, and a few that could eat into your profits. Suddenly, your promising store project feels more like a headache.

How do you avoid this scenario? Simple: Requestor Stores.

What Is a Requestor Store?

A Requestor Store acts as a curated catalog of the products you want to sell. It gives you control over what your customers see, allowing you to limit the selection to products that are easy to decorate, readily available, and profitable for your business.

How to Use Requestor Stores as a Sales Tool

Requestor Stores aren’t just about simplifying your life; they’re also a proactive way to grow your sales. Here’s how:

• Curated best sellers: Build a Requestor Store featuring the top-selling products from your preferred vendors. Share it with current and potential customers to make their buying decisions easier and faster.
• Targeted stores for specific niches: Create custom stores tailored to different industries or customer needs, such as:
  • Construction companies
  • Healthcare organizations
  • Spirit wear for schools
  • Team uniforms
  • Seasonal or holiday-themed collections

The possibilities are virtually endless, and your customers will appreciate the focused approach.

Pro Tips for Creating Requestor Stores

To make the most of Requestor Stores, keep these tips in mind:

• Leverage Chipply’s requestor stores: Save time by using Chipply’s Requestor Stores as a starting point. Just remove any items you can’t access or don’t want to offer.
• Utilize your own templates: Select your most frequently used templates to include in your requestor store. This makes future customizations and replications easier.
• Use a neutral logo: Add a generic placeholder logo (like your own logo or “Your Logo Here”) when setting up the store. This keeps the store versatile and ready for multiple clients.
• Hide unnecessary info: Simplify your customers' experience by hiding details like style numbers, vendor names, or pricing.

Marketing Your Requestor Store

Once your Requestor Store is ready, it’s time to get it in front of the right audience. Here are some ways to share it:

• On Your Website: Include the link prominently on your homepage or in a dedicated section for online stores.
• Via email and social media: Share the link with your email list and post it across your social media channels to reach both existing and new customers.
• With a QR code: Generate a QR code (many browsers offer this feature) and add it to flyers, business cards, and other marketing materials. This makes it easy for people to access your store instantly.
• Direct outreach: Send the link directly to customers who would benefit most from the store. A personalized touch can go a long way!
