Branded Merch Choice Stores

Imagine this marketing campaign: An admitted potential college student chooses their branded merch to celebrate their special moment. Or this scenario: A university donor selects a thank you item from a curated selection of branded merch. This is what online choice stores facilitate for campaigns. They empower users with the ability to choose, leading to increased excitement (as shown by our research). This results in more engaged users and longer-term use of the product – all clear benefits. Let’s walk through the benefits of creating a choice store, delve into how it works, and share a success story.
