What Is On-Demand Production?
On-demand production is a production model where goods are not premade and are only produced when they are ordered. This revolutionary model allows for much greater flexibility in terms of product offering, as there is no inventory commitment.
With AO Swag, you can choose from over a thousand different on-demand items to stock in your online store. Once an order is placed on the web, it hits our system and then routes to the appropriate production department for fulfillment.
What is a branded merch store?
A branded merch store is a custom online store where your team, clients, or partners can easily order branded merchandise—like apparel, accessories, and more. It’s fully tailored to your brand, offering a hassle-free way to manage and distribute your branded products with no inventory or minimum orders required.
Can I provide products exclusively to particular groups in my organization?
Yes, you can. Each group in your organization can enter through a portal that displays only the products and materials specific to their job role, department, or brand identity.
Do you really decorate everything in-house using your own inventory?
Absolutely! We own thousands of inventory items, which are all stocked at our facility. When ordered, those items are then picked and decorationed in-house by our production staff. Thanks to our 80,000 square foot production warehouse, we host a wide array of production methods under one roof.
What distinguishes AO Swag from others Companies?
- We own and control every aspect of our business model, including the technology and the production floor.
- We produce large and small orders economically, there are no minimum orders.
- Less than one quarter of one percent of our items are back-ordered each day, so you won’t have to wait weeks for products. Standard promotional, apparel, and print products typically ship in 24-48 hours, and customized items in 72 hours.
- Our business is financially stable. AO Swag has low debt levels. All capital purchases are paid off in 36 months. We have been in business for more than 30 years and won’t disappear tomorrow like many vendors in this business.
- Orders are produced on demand to limit inventory exposure.
