Storm Creek Sample Kits are your most effective tool to sell our eco-friendly outdoor-inspired products. With more and more Americans eager to shop sustainably (over 91%, according to Forbes), we make it easy for you to help your end-buyers discover and use apparel they can feel great about.
At Storm Creek, our entire apparel line is eco-made. So your sustainable-loving customers can fully embrace our products. Plus, they’ll also get excited about the quality, fit, feel and function.
The best way to experience that is with our Sample Kits.
The Power of Sample Kits
Sample Kits provide several benefits to you and your customers:
-
Increase Sales
It’s one thing to see garments on a screen or in a catalog, read the descriptions and hope for the best. It’s a major step up to have those garments in front of you, examine their quality, feel the softness, sample the fit, and see the rich colors.
That first-hand experience leads to increased sales and customer satisfaction. There’s no doubt these garments will look great, be ultra-comfortable and last for years. You can offer your end-buyers apparel they will actually want to wear—no more gathering dust in the back of the closet, or worse, ending up in the “brandfill.”
-
Build Trust
We’re very transparent with each garment we make in disclosing the percentage of recycled fabrics used and the sustainable standards met throughout production. This information is in our catalogs, on each online product page and on each garment tag.
Openness builds trust in corporate relationships as well as personal ones. By showcasing sustainability every day, we lean into trust-building with every customer.
-
Differentiate
Our Sample Kits help you stand out from your competitors. The kits show that eco-friendliness and quality can be synonymous. In this way, you have an edge over distributors.
-
Hands-On Experience
We touched on this in point #1 but it’s worth repeating: A hands-on experience with our garments will increase sales. We hear this over and over: “I can’t believe this is made from upcycled plastic bottles—it’s so soft!” Feeling our incredible (and sustainable) fabrics and seeing the quality is a powerful convincer.
-
Fair Pricing
We offer some of the best pricing margins in the industry. So you can order one (or more!) Sample Kits at a significant discount (40% off Wholesale), knowing they’ll serve you well in increasing sales, building trust, differentiating you from your competitors and giving hands-on experience.
PLEASE NOTE: Our Sample Kits are NOT returnable.
