SIDEBAR ONE / COMPANY STORES
Let Them Pick Something They'll Actually Use
Your own branded store, stocked with what you choose. Load award funds into an employee’s account and let them spend it, or open it up so anyone can buy company gear whenever they want it.
Your Store, Your Products, Your Rules
Other platforms hand you their catalog and their categories. Yours holds whatever you want in it, including one-off items we source specifically for you. If somebody asks for something that doesn’t exist yet, we’ll go build it and put it on the shelf.
- Spend accounts funded by award, by tier or by department
- Anything can go in the store, including custom pieces we develop
- Sizes, colors and variants stocked in-house, not drop-shipped
- Brand standards enforced automatically, no off-brand orders
- Open to employees, or restricted to award recipients only
- Ships to a home address or a work site, wherever people are
USE CASES
Stop guessing. Start delighting.
Sizes, tastes, timing. A store answers all three by letting the person on the other end decide what works best for them.
Award Redemption
Recognition funds land in an account and the person chooses. No guessing what somebody wants, and no standard items that get dumped in a drawer and forgotten by Monday.
Everyday Company Gear
The polo somebody wants for a client visit, the jacket they want for themselves. Open the store and let people choose their own gear without anyone approving a purchase order. They can even directly purchase new or unique uniform pieces approved by the team.
New Hire Kits
A store page for onboarding, where a new person picks their sizes and it ships before day one. Nobody guesses a medium and nobody wears a shirt that doesn't fit.
Pop Up Shops
Open a store for six weeks, close it, ship it all at once. Useful for holiday gifting, anniversaries of the company itself, and anything with a deadline attached. Pop Up Shops can even be public-facing so your fans can buy your merch directly.
TESTIMONIALS
What Happens When People Get to Choose.
An engaged workforce, fewer complaints, and a lot less time spent guessing.
One of the greatest examples of our partnership is the award platform Sidebar helped build for our employees. This turnkey solution automates the rewards process from beginning to end, sending reminders to leaders, congratulatory notifications to recipients, and allowing employees to make their reward selections. What could otherwise be a complicated, time-consuming process has become seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on what matters most: recognizing and rewarding the incredible people who make Swift successful.
Sidebar has also partnered with us to develop two distinct online storefronts: our Company Store, where employees can shop for Swift-branded merchandise, and our B2B corporate ordering site, which allows leaders to purchase the items they need to support their operational needs. These platforms serve very different purposes, yet both play an important role in supporting our employees, strengthening our brand, and keeping our operations moving forward.

Sidebar has been a true partner to Butler Plus. When we moved our PPE and swag ordering from domestic to international sourcing, the Sidebar team made the transition seamless. We have continued to receive full transparency, quick responses, and a complete understanding of our needs, and that consistency is exactly why we keep coming back.

Everyone thinks they can figure it out themselves, and maybe you can. But why spend years making expensive mistakes when the knowledge, relationships and experience already exist? The service Sidebar offers is second to none. It gives you access to the kind of knowledge most people spend years trying to acquire. Sidebar is the hack you wish existed when you started. And it does. Do yourself a favor. Go with Sidebar.

We have worked with Sidebar for approximately four years, and throughout that time, they have consistently provided excellent products and outstanding service. What I appreciate most is that Sidebar is a true partner. They help us find solutions, and even when we are not entirely sure what we need, they know us well enough to offer consistently spot-on ideas and recommendations.
Sidebar is quick to respond, quick to deliver, and deeply committed to quality. Because they hold their products to such a high standard, they take quality control seriously, and that is something we value immensely. They meet us where we are, understand our needs, and make the entire process easy and collaborative. We are grateful to have Sidebar as a trusted partner.

SIDEBAR is top notch when it comes to quality, turnaround times, and price. They have been our go-to business for all our marketing and swag needs from small giveaway trinkets to fully customizable projects like clothing items, hats, and large metal display units for our products. They do it all. They also offer a full website service to make the ordering, inventory updates, and drop-shipping process so easy to manage. Their customer service and communication is the absolute best. No matter what time of day it is, they are always available. Thank you guys and we love working with you!

I reached out to Sidebar for customized products for my company, and they quickly provided mockups featuring our logo so I could easily envision the finished product. Once I made my selections, the entire process was smooth from start to finish, and everything arrived ahead of schedule—making my life completely stress-free.
