What does promoting your store really mean?

Promoting your store is getting the word out to those who would most likely shop for your gear. This is most effective when you can narrow down who those people may be: your organization, team, fans, parents, and community members.

Knowing who you are promoting your store to is just as important as HOW to reach them

Once your SquadLocker store has been created and filled with your hand-picked gear, it’s time to get the word out. That’s where we can help! SquadLocker has some great tools and tips to make it easier to kick off shopping.

4 Easy Ways You Can Spread the Word & Promote Your Store

1. Share your store link on Social Media
2. Share your store with your members list using an Email
3. Create a Flyer for on-site events & activities
4. Embed a Web Banner into Your Website

1. Share your store link on Social Media

Right on your store landing page, there are several ways you can share your store on social media.

SquadLocker directly integrates with Twitter and Facebook so if you click either one of those icons and if you are logged into those platforms the link will be posted to your feed.

Alternatively, you can use the linked chain icon to copy your store link and paste it into a social post. This method also works for the platforms like Instagram, SnapChat, and LinkedIn which are not directly connected to SquadLocker’s platform.

Not sure how to do that? Try using the green chat bubble in your dashboard during business hours to connect with a SquadLocker expert.

Not a designer, try taking a screenshot of your favorite apparel items with your logo on it to pair it with the post.

Sometimes the best way to promote your store is simply an email. On your store landing page & in your dashboard there are several ways you can share your store with an email.

3. Create a Flyer for on-site events & activities

Got an event coming up? Posting a flyer with a QR code that links to your store is a great way to activate your shoppers. Flyers showcase gear and provide a way to quickly share your store URL with others. Ready to make a flyer? Access the green chat bubble in your dashboard during business hours to connect with a SquadLocker expert.

What’s a QR Code?

A QR Code is an image that uses the camera on a phone to then open a website on the phone’s mobile browser. This QR code can be a quick way to show off your store link.

Using the sharing tools on the store landing page by clicking the paper icon you can create a flyer for your store. This print-ready PDF will feature items from your store and the full-text version of your store link at the bottom. We strongly recommend adding a QR code to this if you are using it for print and in-person/on-site events. Not sure how to make a QR code?
