allbranded celebrates 15 years of progress and service
allbranded has been through highs and lows, but has made it out the other side. Discover what advice the team has learned over the years. This is a celebration of the past 15 years. From the first order of 100 brown lanyards to a full allbranded group with multiple brands inside. With all that allbranded has accomplished in the past 15 years, what else is on the horizon?
15 years of allbranded has come and gone, but not without a dedicated team working together to make a meaningful impact. In the time allbranded was founded by Arne Schubert in Hamburg, Germany in 2011, the company has expanded into eight other countries - Austria, Switzerland, Spain, France, Sweden, Ireland, the UK, and the US.
The team has worked through a variety of external and internal challenges - from finding the perfect office to the global pandemic. All of these challenges made the company stronger.
After helping more than 60,000 customers choose from the collection of more than 75,000 products, allbranded has emerged as an expert in the promotional merchandise field. The team has come together to talk about the accomplishments of the past and what the future holds.
How allbranded changed over the years
A lot has changed since allbranded first started out. From going from a small company in an apartment, to the allbranded group with offices in Germany and the UK. Here are some of the biggest changes employees have noticed over the years.
With offices in London and Hamburg, plus employees from around the world, allbranded has seen growth in more ways than one.
Having a strong connection as a team is as important as the work itself. Having a strong foundation of respect and communication is what makes brands last.
While there have been highs and lows, the team has grown, become more efficient, and became closer. This proves to be a winning combination as the company is now stronger than ever 15 years later.
What allbranded learned over 15 years
Through these ups and downs, the team has learned a lot of valuable lessons. Not only regarding business, but how to work together as a team.
When facing tough decisions, such as layoffs during the pandemic or restructuring, the team has persevered through the tough times.
What is most important is learning from these experiences and mistakes.
Businesses and companies expanding to new markets always face challenges. When growth comes too quickly, or not fast enough, allbranded has found a way to make it work. Applying the lessons learned from each misstep to avoid it for the future.
Favorite moments from the allbranded team
The allbranded team has worked hard over the past decade and a half, but they also played hard as well. Without a strong team and community within the company, the progress and success might not have been the same.
From team events going skiing in Italy, cruises to Norway, to a team-building event in Majorca, these are the top highlights the team has experienced. These are the moments that kept spirits high while still driving progress.
Sometimes, the atmosphere can make all the difference. Finding the combination of having fun while also having time to brainstorm with teammates - that is the sweet spot for a team event.
While team events bring everyone together to celebrate success and show employee appreciation, one of the most magical moments has to be the first one.
Without this first order, the company would not be where it is today! Special thanks for the first customer, that is the best and favorite moment.
Expert tips from allbranded
After years of experience hearing about the trials and tribulations of customers, the allbranded experts have come up with some tips. Not only regarding how to order company merchandise, but also how to keep a company strong for 15 years.
What are the most important things allbranded has learned?
Without customers, allbranded would not be where it is today. The only way growth can be made is through feedback and constructive criticism. When working in retail, it is important to think of the customer as king, or focus on what the customer needs vs. what any one person making decisions wants.
Regarding company merchandise, the team has spoken. These are the most important things to consider or think about when ordering products.
When choosing products, allbranded cannot recommend enough that the product's quality should be high! Stretch budgets further and get as much as possible from these products by choosing quality items that last.
Through customer feedback and numerous website updates, everything is made as easy as possible for customers to order online. Customers can find everything needed to order directly from the site, without having to ask the sales experts. However, the team is always standing by with any questions.
allbranded’s favorite promotional products
With more than 50,000 products in the online shop, it can be hard to choose a favorite. When asked, the team had this to say about their favorite products.
Some products might not be fancy or unique, but when chosen correctly and printed right, these products can have the biggest impact.
Some other top favorites products and categories include:
- Cow stress reliever
- Water bottles
- Hoodies, pullovers, sweatshirts
- Wireless and noise canceling headphones
- Vinga products
- Gift sets
- Stanley cup and mugs
However, whichever product is chosen, the allbranded team has a very important tip to remember.
