SwagUp Overview

What is SwagUp?

SwagUp is the only End to End Swag Management Platform. We believe that swag is incredibly powerful, but also incredibly overcomplicated to use. Everything we do is centered around making the process of creating and shipping swag as simple as possible. Our platform gives you the power to manage product design, creation, purchasing, inventory management, streamlined distribution, and global logistics all in one spot. Our powerful capabilities such as Redeem (beautiful gifting experience) , Shops (build your own stunning stores right inside our platform), and integrations (trigger swag distribution based on events in your HRIS, CRM etc) give you everything you need to put swag management on auto-pilot. We have vertically operated the process by controlling our own tech and operations so that we can deliver an unmatched customer experience. Head to swagup.com to learn more!

What do you like best about SwagUp?

-Large catalog of items to choose from.

-Fast turn around, though I would plan at least a month in advance with shipping delays and supply chain issues.

-Integration with Postal is seamless and has made my life so much easier.

-Fantastic design team who took the time to research our company's colours, designs and style.

-Super responsive, fast to act and willing to go the extra mile. Our contact and CSM on the other side, Jennifer, is one of the most pleasant and responsive people I've worked with in regards to a vendor in a very long time. Her approach to customer service is one that should be modeled at every company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SwagUp?

-The dashboard needs some UX work and usability testing. However, they have shown commitment to improving and testing new designs, and I have seen great improvement even in a short period of time.

-Would LOVE to be able to preview/get images of old designs so they are easier to reference and share after items go into production.

-Address/contact forms would benefit from more fields for special instructions (especially when delivering to venues or warehouses). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SwagUp:

Order well in advance to allow for mock-up changes and production time. Shipping is super quick and snappy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SwagUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

-The ability to send swag to our customers as part of an incentive program and customize most of the items available in 100s of ways.

-Fast turn-around for last-minute orders and events. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SwagUp?

What is most helpful about SwagUp is the the customer service & art quality team. Once you place an order you are assigned a representative who is there with you every step of the way until you have your products in-hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SwagUp?

Honestly, I don't have any dislikes about SwagUp. My recent purchase was my first time working with them and will definitely be using them again in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SwagUp:

Pull the trigger and you won't be dissapointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SwagUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

I woudn't say I'm solving any problems, but I am definetly saving time. In the past I have ordered through competitors of SwagUp and they take a week to get back to you with art approval. SwagUp on the other hand sent me my art for approval next day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SwagUp?

SwagUp is unbelievably easy to use and reliable! We've been able to send swag across the world within a few clicks of a button. The swag itself is extremely high quality and we've gotten so many compliments from it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SwagUp?

Not much, they've been crushing it! We were even able to get AllBirds as swag which is extremely unique and unheard of! It's been an incredible experience! Highly recommend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SwagUp:

It's incredible, I highly recommend it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SwagUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are a growing remote team. As a result, the swag box our new employees receive is one of the first touch points with our company. SwagUp helps us make an incredible first impression and helps us get swag that our team uses every day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SwagUp?

Big selection of products to choose from, quick to provide proofs to review (although we did not use any of their proofs, they were a bit basic to be honest). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SwagUp?

- They lost thousands of dollars of 3rd party swag we sent to them to distribute for us. After weeks of back and forth (support is very slow to respond as are the sales reps after you pay them) they have just said they are not liable and have no resolution. They got very defensive and customer service went out the window.

-We bought branded boxes and when I sent out a sample box it arrived in a non-branded box, with the branded box inside. No heads up, no explanation. Why did we spend the extra time, energy, and funds on a branded box just for it to be on the inside?

-The communication is not great. There are no alerts to tell you the boxes are ready to be shipped out and I have to constantly ask questions to get any information.

-The process has taken 6 months so far, and there are a number of issues outstanding that have yet to be resolved.

Overall it seems like a great solution during the sales process, but things will fall apart and will be a complete-time waster once you start working with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SwagUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

None, the entire process was full of problems. The project took 6 months and in the end, it was a horrible experience and we are missing thousands of dollars of swag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SwagUp?

SwagUp's attention to customer success / support is unmatched. It didn't feel like working with a normal sales rep, it felt like I was in good hands as they walked us through the process. I felt like I barely lifted a finger.

Additionally, I love the business model, mainly:

- them warehousing and shipping inventory

- programatic swag sending Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SwagUp?

I have zero complaints at all, truly. Use SwagUp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SwagUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

They're allowing me to use swag for both internal moralle, as well as a marketing tool, with programatic shipping and handling the entire packing and warehousing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about SwagUp?

The selection of products and the warehousing option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SwagUp?

Some instructions/processes were unclear. When I started my order, I was a little confused. However, that confusion was short-lived because the customer support is live, fast, and excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SwagUp:

If you need to order bulk swag or want custom packages sent to the team, this is your one-stop-shop. It really is as easy as it looks. If you have a question, the customer service is top-notch. SwagUp definitely makes ordering swag and gifts a whole lot easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SwagUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

SwagUp offers bulk swag, packs, and warehousing. It's incredible. I was able to consolidate my shipping cost and stress by using SwagUp. It was so easy to create a beautifully curated package to send to a constituent and I don't know how I did it before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SwagUp?

It's great that you can either send your swag straight to employees from the SwagUP warehouse or chose to get items in bulk to pass out in person. We opted for getting it sent in bulk, which reduced shipping costs and it all arrived way before I expected it to! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SwagUp?

Their dashboard didn't update a few times and there were some glitches, but their chat feature on their website, plus having a dedicated customer success rep, helped resolve issues pretty quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SwagUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

It's hard to find a good print company that can do all the different swag we want (most places only do apparel or only paper products) so it's great you can have it all in one place AND be able to send out to employees who work remote! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SwagUp?

Guy Brown Swag boxes. They are so different from swag we have done in the past. This was such an easy process on our end. Love that the boxes were packaged for us and we could ship some packages to our remote employees individually, as well as a bulk shipment to our HQ office directly from our online dashboard. The boxes turned out so great. The overall process was seamless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SwagUp?

Would like to see a smaller minimum qty option, like a qty 25 instead of 50. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SwagUp solving and how is that benefiting you?

We even had one bento box delivered broken, but we reached out and were shipped a replacement in no time. We appreciated the quick resolution. It was nice to be able to play around with different items and create multiple box options to present to our team for final decision making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
