Step 1 of 7

Let's build your swag store

Pick the items you want, choose your colors, and upload your logo.

This takes about 10 minutes You can't save and come back, so set aside a few minutes. Have your logo files ready, ideally a light version and a dark version.

What happens after this

Right away: Your selections and logos reach our swag team
Next: You get mockups of every item, sent to you directly for review
After you approve: Your store goes live in Motivosity and your team can start redeeming

Your work email This is where your mockups and any questions will go.

What is your company's name? Exactly as you'd like it to appear. We use this to label and organize your catalog.

Step 2 of 7

Your logo files

Your logo is the single biggest factor in how good your swag looks, so it's worth getting this part right.

Please, no background on your logo The background must be transparent. A logo on a white box will print as a white box on a navy shirt, and there's no way for us to fix that after the fact.

File guidelines

Format: .PNG works well. A vector file (.ai, .eps, .svg, .pdf) will always come out best.
Resolution: minimum 300 DPI, for clear high-quality printing.
Size: at least 1000 × 1000 pixels, ideally larger.
Text: convert any text to outlines so fonts don't shift.

Important things to note

A small logo or trademark icon tucked into the corner of a larger image tends to look bad embroidered.
Make sure the logo is centered and aligned within the canvas.
If your design has fine detail, check it stays legible in both color and black & white.

How we decorate your swag, and why these rules exist

Upload your files

Up to 20 MB per file.

Your logo's colors

Flat, solid color reproduces best across every method we use. Tell us if any of these apply and we'll handle it up front rather than after you've seen a mockup you don't like.

Our logo uses a metallic colorGold, silver, copper or similar. Our logo uses a gradient or blended colorsAny color that fades into another. Our logo currently has a background we can't removeTell us now and we'll work out the best approach with you.

Your brand colors, if you know the hex codes

Optional, and add as many as your brand uses. We'll suggest the closest embroidery thread for each.

Using your mark on its own

If your logo combines a symbol with your company name, can we use the symbol by itself on some items?

The Nike swoosh, the Adidas bars and the Starbucks crest all work alone. Others, like National Geographic, really don't. If your logo is only a wordmark, this doesn't apply.

Yes, you can use the mark without the name No, always keep the name with the mark Not applicable, our logo has no separate mark

Step 3 of 7

Choose your items

Tap anything you'd like in your store. You can always add more later.

What the labels on each item mean

Step 4 of 7

Colors

Two ways to do this. Pick whichever suits how much control you want.

Colors

Offer every color availableThe widest choice for your team. Neutrals onlyBlack, navy, grey, charcoal, white and similar. Looks clean and works with almost any logo. Let the swag team choose to match our brandWe'll pick colors that suit your logo and show you in the mockups.

Step 5 of 7

Embroidery thread colors

Some of the items you picked are embroidered rather than printed. Embroidery uses real thread, and our production partners stock a fixed set of 15 colors.

We can't match a PMS or exact brand color in thread This is a limit of the thread stock. Pick the closest colors below, and if exact color accuracy matters to you, order a physical sample before your store goes live.

Pick up to 6 thread colors

One design can use up to six thread colors. Pick the ones that appear in your logo, in rough order of importance. If you're not sure, choose one or two and we'll advise.

If none of these are close enough to your brand colors Tell us in the notes on the next step and we'll work it out with you. There are two ways round it. Printed items reproduce brand colors far more closely than thread does, so we can steer your catalog toward those. And our vendor offers a few items with unlimited-color embroidery for an additional fee, which we can price for you.

Step 6 of 7

Who should we work with?

Mockups and questions go straight to this person, so double-check the email.

Name

Email Prefilled from step 1. Change it if someone else should receive the mockups.

Role

Who at Motivosity are you working with?

Whoever sent you this link. It tells our swag team who to loop in if they have a question.

Implementation Manager

Customer Success Manager

Are you working toward a date?

About timing Build time depends on how many items and logos are involved and what's already in the queue, so we confirm a delivery date once we've reviewed your request rather than up front. Share the date you're working toward and we'll tell you what's realistic.

Date you have in mind If the date matters because of an event, say so. It helps us prioritize honestly. Anything else we should know?
