W7 Merch

Our Own Store, Built Like the Ones We Sell.

  • Made to order
  • Reserve before launch
  • Wheel and Gold

The business

What they needed

We sell online stores to local businesses, so we wanted one of our own that works the way we tell clients theirs should. Merch made when it is ordered, so there is no stock sitting in a garage.

A way for people to pick what they want before the store opens on 11/1, without taking a card or money before we can sell. And a reason to come back after the first visit.

What we built

The build, screen by screen

We built the store into waldo7labs.com. Each piece is printed by Printful when it is ordered and ships in 2 to 7 days, with flat $6.99 shipping in the US. Shoppers can search, filter by type and shop by collection, and bundles take money off in the cart on their own: 2 pieces for $3 off, 3 or more for $6 off.

  1. The live W7 merch store on a laptop, with the Wear the W7 header, 186 pieces, 13 collections and $5 and up, next to a phone showing the Staff Picks with the Wildstyle Wall Hoodie at $58.

    Made when you order it

    186 pieces in 13 collections, from $5 up. Search, filter by type or shop a collection. Printful prints each piece when it is ordered, so nothing sits in stock, and shipping is a flat $6.99.

  2. Three phone screens of the live Lake Norman Outrun Tee page: the photo and $21 price, the Reserve it form left empty with the launch day wheel note above it, and Complete the fit with size buttons.

    Pick it, reserve it

    Before the store opens, each product page has Reserve it. Pick the color and size, add a first name and email, and the pick is saved for the opening day email. Free, no card, not an order. Complete the fit adds a matching piece in one tap.

  3. The live W7 Wheel page on a laptop with the countdown to Sunday 11/1 at noon and the Join the wheel button, entrants' names blurred, next to a phone showing the W7 Club page.

    The W7 Wheel

    A free giveaway with 3 winners every round: launch day 11/1 at noon, then Black Friday. No purchase needed. Each person gets their own slice and can build up to 15 entries.

  4. Three phone screens of the live W7 Club page: Ways to earn with the $50 referral and W7 Gold, the Earn it list with the Welcome Spin and Daily Spin, and the Spend it list from a wheel entry to $25 off a website.

    The W7 Club and Gold

    One page for ways to win, save and earn. W7 Gold is free club points from a Welcome Spin and a Daily Spin, with streak bonuses. Trade 100 for a wheel entry, or save up for a sticker, $5 off merch or $25 off a website.

The whole build

Until the store opens, every product page has Reserve it: pick a color and size, add a first name and email, and we email that pick first on opening day. It is free, takes no card and is not an order. Reserving also counts as an entry in the W7 Wheel, a free giveaway with 3 winners on launch day and again on Black Friday, no purchase needed.

The W7 Club page puts the wheel, sales, the $50 referral and W7 Gold in one place. Gold is free club points from a Welcome Spin and a Daily Spin, traded for wheel entries, merch codes or credit on a website. It all runs off one email.

Checkout runs through Stripe and opens 11/1.

Brand match

Built in their colors

Read straight off the live site: the logo where it sits, the colors by how much of the page they cover, and the type they set.
