Let’s talk about pre-orders.

Want great merch, but the risk of inventory scares you?

DO YOU HAVE AN AUDIENCE TO SELL TO, BUT NEED TO COLLECT THE MONEY FROM SALES UP FRONT?

Let us help you put together a pre-order that will sell, which in turn will make you money or help you fundraiser.

Pre-orders are a highly effective money generating tool , if done well. The key to a successful pre-order is simplicity. The more products or designs you offer, the more spread out the sales will be.

A PRE-ORDER IS FOR YOU IF…

  • You want to make money, but want to pre-sell the items first.

  • You can have the items delivered to you in bulk & have help with distribution.

  • You have access to an audience to sell the products to.

  • You can hit a minimum order of 24 per item / design.

NOT SURE IF A PRE-ORDER IS FOR YOU?

PROS

You can make the most money because it's a bulk order. We set your bulk order pricing and then you can mark up the prices however much you’d like to. We always recommend marking prices up a few dollars at minimum to account for taxes and shipping.

CONS

You are responsible for setting up your sales platform, accepting payment and taking orders. You will also be responsible for distribution on the back end because we deliver the order to you in bulk. We require a minimum order of 24 per item / size category.

HOW TO START A PRE-ORDER

HOW TO START A PRE-ORDER

BOOK A CALL

Before we start on an order, we’d love to hear your vision for the project and talk strategy. We do these meetings via Google Meet. They are short and sweet, but very effective.

SELECT PRODUCTS

Once we have finalized designs, then we will select products and send you an invoice with mock ups, size availability and pricing.

SELECT DESIGNS

Everything starts with a design at Scarlet & Gold. Once we know the project plan, you’ll pick the designs you like and send us direction for customization. We call this part “the homework.”

GROW YOUR BUSINESS

When it’s products to use for marketing or to sell, with S&G custom merch, you’re going to experience merch that moves. The products will be worn. They will be loved. And they will help you achieve your goals.

What’s included in every order…

  • “We have teamed with Scarlet & Gold since day one. What a glorious team! From the first steps of collaborating and designing our logo to creating and producing a final product, Scarlet & Gold has helped us grow our nonprofit tremendously. This growth has helped us build our strength of purpose and enables us to serve our beautiful community.”

    D1 Life Foundation

  • “Scarlet & Gold is truly a gem! Their customer support is nothing short of amazing– always attentive, kind, and eager to help. Their commitment to timeliness is unmatched.

It's clear they care deeply about their clients and their craft! Highly recommend!”

THE SCARLET & GOLD DIFFERENCE

  • That’s right. We don’t add any extra fees for our amazing designs. When you work with us, you get access to our entire design library that we can customize for you.

  • We have our own brand in the collegiate apparel space that we create new designs for every year. The designs that we offer in our library are tested and proven to be best sellers in the marketplace. We will help you pick winning designs and help you customize them in a way that works for your organization.

  • Our creative team is the best in the business. From hand illustrated buildings to the cutest mascot designs, you won’t find personalized illustrations like this anywhere else. We help you take our design templates and make them uniquely yours by featuring iconic buildings, beloved mascots or a memorable spot in town.

  • A great design is only great if it’s printed or embroidered on an amazing blank. The actual garment that you use for your order is very important. No one wants to wear a cheap, scratchy shirt. Or a sweatshirt that doesn’t fit well. We have a list of S&G approved brands & styles that we have tested out and our customers love. We will help you find the right one based on who you are shopping for and what your budget is.

  • Our sales team is here to help guide you every step of the way. After your order is paid, we will let you know if we have any issues sourcing your items BEFORE we order. We will let you know when your order is in production and when it has shipped. If you need anything or have any questions, our team is a text or phone call away!

  • It’s a common practice of print shops to include in fine print a damage percentage that they are not responsible for. We strongly disagree with this practice. If you order 100 shirts, you should get 100 quality shirts. At Scarlet & Gold, you are always going to receive a complete order. Your shirts are produced in our Auburn, AL shop by a team of people who love their jobs. Your order matters to them and they work hard to create an excellent product for you every single time
