What is a Promotional Product Mall Franchise?

'Franchise' originally refers to receiving a portion of a completed space, like an apartment. The promotional product mall franchise works the same way. Instead of building a mall from scratch and registering products one by one, you open your own storefront on top of the products and systems managed by the headquarters.

Therefore, what matters in a franchise mall is not just the 'mall interface,' but what happens behind the scenes. The real value lies in the product variety and accuracy, the automated order fulfillment process, settlement accuracy, and search/marketing capabilities.

  • Server, security, and search exposure management

Using a pre-built mall framework

Recommended when

  • When you have existing suppliers and product data
  • When you only need a storefront quickly

You must manage

  • Register promotional items one by one and enter prices by quantity
  • Update whenever supplier prices change
  • Place separate orders to suppliers when orders come in
  • Industry-specific features like quotes and proofs for promotional items are provided separately

A method of receiving a storefront with products and systems integrated

Promotional Product Store Franchising FAQ

What is the cost of franchising a promotional product store?

Start with low capital as no physical store or inventory is required. Setup costs and support details are provided during a free consultation.

Is the franchised store mine?

It is your store, operated under your name and domain. You connect with customers under your own brand, not the head office's.

Won't it look the same as other franchised stores?

You can customize the main screen using the theme editor and widgets to make even the same template look unique.

Who handles inventory and shipping?

Display products without inventory; when an order is placed, it is forwarded to the supplier, who handles production and shipping.

Can I start a franchise even if I don't know much about promotional products?

Yes. We provide 1:1 onboarding to help with store setup, and the head office manages product information and pricing.

I am already operating a store acquired from another provider.
