Using Swag Store Forms to Collect Preorder Information Conveniently

Swag stores are a sleek and simple way to let employees or event attendees select and receive branded merch through a branded storefront, but when you add customizable forms to the mix, they become so much more than just an ordering tool. Built-in form functionality transforms your swag store into a dynamic data collection hub, helping you gather the information you need—before the order ships. Whether you’re managing pre-orders, giveaways, or personalized items, forms make it easy to streamline logistics, eliminate back-and-forth, and deliver a more tailored experience.

Here’s how teams are using forms inside their swag stores to simplify logistics, personalize experiences, and keep their teams and audiences engaged:

1. Pre-Orders Made Easy

Launching new merch internally or offering exclusive swag to employees or customers? Use a swag store form to collect pre-orders. You can gather key info like:

• Name and email

• Shirt size or product variant

• Quantity

• Shipping address

• Office location dropdown – instead of requiring personal addresses, users can have the option to select from a list of office locations to streamline shipping and reduce address entry errors. It’s the perfect solution for hybrid or in-office teams who want their swag shipped to HQ or a regional office for easy pickup.

  
  

2. Personalization Forms

When it comes to custom swag, details matter. Forms can be used to collect personalization details so items arrive exactly how they should—no extra follow-up needed. A few common examples:

• Business card requests – Collect name, title, email, phone number, and address in one go when new sets of business cards are requested.

• Awards and plaques – Let employees submit their name or a recipient’s name exactly as it should appear on a trophy or certificate.

  
  

No more tracking info down over email. It’s clean, quick, and accurate.

3. Enter-to-Win Style Giveaways

Running a contest or drawing? Add a simple form to collect names, emails, and any other relevant details before users are entered into your giveaway.

Pro tip: pair this with a fun landing page and a prize preview to boost entries!

💡 Bonus: Combine Use Cases

Many teams use these form types in creative combinations. For example:

• A product launch swag pre-order with a name personalization field.

• A giveaway entry form that also asks for size info in case the winner gets apparel.

• A new hire form that collects personalization details and allows them to choose their shipping destination.

  
  

Swag store forms do more than just collect data—they make your swag distribution smarter, more efficient, and a whole lot more personalized. Whether you're launching new apparel, collecting business card info, or running a prize drawing, forms can take the guesswork (and the email chains) out of the equation.
