Employee Swag Store

Innovation Minds makes it easy for organizations to offer branded merchandise as part of their employee recognition and rewards programs.

Whether you want to manage your own branded store, connect your existing company swag website, or have Innovation Minds manage the entire swag experience for you, we provide flexible options to fit your needs.

Option 1: Self-Managed Swag Store (Axomo Integration)

For organizations that prefer to manage their own swag operations, Innovation Minds integrates with Axomo to provide a branded swag marketplace experience.

With this option, your team manages the swag catalog, inventory, and fulfillment process through Axomo, while employees can redeem their Innovation Minds reward points for approved merchandise.

How It Works

  1. Browse Available Swag
    Employees explore your branded merchandise catalog directly from the Innovation Minds rewards experience.
  2. Redeem Reward Points
    Employees select their favorite items and redeem available reward points.
  3. Fulfillment Through Axomo
    Axomo processes the order and manages shipping directly based on your organization’s setup.

Axomo Swag Options May Include:

  • Apparel: T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, hats, and more
  • Drinkware: Mugs, bottles, tumblers, and cups
  • Bags: Backpacks, totes, and travel accessories
  • Office Supplies: Notebooks, pens, tech accessories, and more
  • Custom branded merchandise

Axomo Account Management

Axomo follows a real-time transaction model:

  • No need to pre-purchase inventory or maintain large swag stock.
  • Each redemption is processed as the employee orders an item.
  • Clients maintain visibility into transactions, costs, and usage.

Organizations can also choose to:

  • Manage their own Axomo swag store.
  • Integrate an existing company swag website.
  • Publish selected swag items directly within Innovation Minds as reward options mapped to employee points.

Why Choose Innovation Minds Managed Swag?

No Markup on Swag Items

Unlike many recognition platforms that add commissions or markups to merchandise pricing, Innovation Minds does not charge any markup on swag items.

This typically saves organizations approximately 20% compared to other employee rewards platforms that add fees on top of merchandise costs.

Discounted Shipping Rates

Innovation Minds also works with fulfillment partners to provide discounted shipping options, helping organizations maximize their rewards budget.

One Partner From Start to Finish

Instead of managing multiple vendors and platforms, organizations get a complete swag experience managed by Innovation Minds:

Source → Brand → Shop → Order → Deliver

This allows HR teams to focus on employee engagement while Innovation Minds handles the operational details.
