I wanted to quickly share something that may be relevant to some of you. We help charities, membership groups and corporate businesses launch fully managed on-demand merchandise stores — removing the need for bulk stock purchasing or warehousing commitments. Products are only produced when ordered, which reduces waste, lowers risk and avoids tying budget into surplus inventory. What’s been particularly effective is how flexible the model is for: * fundraising * staff onboarding/gifting * campaigns and events * distributed teams/networks * ongoing brand engagement We manage the production, customer service and fulfilment too, so it stays very low maintenance internally for any organisation. A couple of live examples: • https://shop.exp.uk.com/ • https://shop.missingpeople.org.uk I’d be really interested to hear whether merchandise is something any of you already have explored, or whether a more agile on-demand approach could be useful. Best regards
