Retail Merchandise University of Hertfordshire

At Streamline, we’re are always looking for ways to make things easier for our clients, and earlier in the year we had the privilege of doing just that for the University of Hertfordshire. With the university’s graduation event approaching, the team faced the task of creating a pop-up shop that would sell exclusive graduation merchandise while also working with various partners to handle all the logistics, design, and branding. That’s where Streamline’s full-service offering stepped in. 

From start to finish, Streamline provided a seamless experience, taking away the stress and admin that would have fallen on the university team. We started by working with the University of Herts team to source the perfect range of products that aligned with the university’s brand and graduation spirit. We knew that the right merchandise could make the difference in creating a memorable experience for graduates and their families. 

Once we had the product selection, we worked closely with the University team to design and brand the items, ensuring every detail reflected the importance of their academic achievement. The designs were fresh, modern, and impactful, incorporating elements of the university’s identity to make the merchandise truly special. 

Next came the logistics. Streamline’s experience ensured that the pop-up shop was fully equipped with everything needed for a smooth operation. We didn’t just stop at sourcing and branding the products; we also took care of the setup. Merchandising the entire product range and ensuring every rail or shelf of the pop-up shop was thoughtfully arranged for maximum impact and ease of access for customers. 

We also made sure the University didn’t have to worry about the technology. Streamline supplied all point-of-sale technology, from credit card machines to iPads and all the necessary tech to ensure the shop was up and running without a hitch. We even managed staffing for the entire event, so the university team didn’t need to dedicate their own staff to this project. Our professional team ensured everything ran smoothly, from customer service to managing the day-to-day operations. 

Not only did we take the burden off the University of Hertfordshire’s team, but we also turned their merchandise into a profitable venture. Our expert selection of products, strategic branding, and seamless shop execution meant that the university generated revenue with minimal input. By leveraging our full-service approach, they were able to offer high-quality, in-demand merchandise without having to manage the complexities of sales and logistics. 

And as the event ended, we didn’t leave the university with any tasks either. Streamline handled the pack-down process too, taking care of the breakdown of the pop-up shop, ensuring all merchandise was accounted for, everything was packed up, and the space was cleared efficiently once the graduation week was complete. 

The University of Hertfordshire was able to provide an exceptional experience for its graduates without the added stress of event management. Graduates and their families enjoyed browsing a well-curated, branded range of products, and the pop-up shop ran smoothly thanks to Streamline’s full-service support. Most importantly, the university generated profit from the sales, proving that well-executed merchandise strategies can be both valuable and financially rewarding. 

We believe in making our clients’ lives easier. From design and branding to sourcing products, event setup, staffing, and pack-down, we take care of it all so that our clients can focus on what matters most. We were thrilled to help the University of Hertfordshire make this milestone event one to remember for their graduates, and we look forward to supporting more clients in future projects like this one.
