🚀 INTRODUCING

Updated Mockups Interface for Greater Visibility into Item Statuses

The new mockups interface supports and accompanies the recent update to the SwagUp order management view. We’re excited to introduce this update allowing SwagUp Dashboard users more precision over their mockup details, reducing confusion in communicating feedback, and speeding up the ideation to approval process for your swag.

Here’s what you get with this improvement:

• At-a-glance list view of all swag items in a swag pack
• Item status indicating whether a swag item is In Progress, Pending Review, Changes Requested, Finalizing Proofs, Proofs Ready, or Approved.
• Click to zoom in view for a closer look at mockup images
• Item quantity per pack controls (with price per pack totals updated in real time!)
• Changes history for a log of your mockup edits for every item
• Delete swag items at any time in the mockup ideation stage

You will be able to access your mockups in the same way as before. After clicking into a swag product to review your mockups, you will notice a different look to your mockups interface.

All your swag items will be listed on the left. Each swag item will also have a tag indicating the status of that item. On the right, you will see all editable details of the currently selected swag item, including quantity per pack, item color, item decoration, and changes history.

For every item, you can edit these details as desired to request changes for the mockups. Once you like how a mockup looks, hit Approve Item to update that item’s status.Want to see all your mockups at a glance? Download a PDF of your mockups by clicking on the Mockup PDF link in the upper right hand corner. Downloading your mockup pdf is also a convenient way to share your swag designs with the team and gather feedback.

🚀 INTRODUCING

New Mockups Edits and Approvals Process with Item-Specific Options

We get it, great design is hard. And sharing creative ideas can be even harder with asynchronous communications. The last thing you need is more ambiguity and room for miscommunication.

That’s why this update brings you a simpler experience for requesting changes and offering feedback to your designers. 

We threw out the chat box that made it hard to specify which swag item you wanted to update. Instead, you can now see all your relevant design options within each swag item’s details. From seeing what color options you have for a swag item to changing a decoration method or location, you can now be confident in making these changes with precision.

Here’s what you get with this improvement:

• All available item color options displayed within the item details
• All available item decoration options displayed within the item details
• Insight into available imprint locations for an item
• Easily upload and replace logos for an item as needed
• Additional notes per swag item to guide designers with clear feedback

A simpler design feedback process also means you’ll get your swag to the launchpad faster and with less frustration.

🚀 INTRODUCING

New Unified Shipping Experience for Flexible Swag Shipments

Removing the complexity of shipping at the post office is one thing we help you do with the SwagUp Dashboard — no matter how many swag products and recipients you’re working with.

This quality-of-life update is all about providing a consistent, familiar shipping experience regardless of if you have just one swag goal, or multiple scenarios you need swag for. Whether you’re in Dashboard, Inventory, or Contacts, if you’re ready to send swag, you can launch in just a few steps. Hit “Send Swag”, and boom — launch sequence initiated.

Let’s get your swag off the launchpad. First, select the swag products you want to ship from inventory. Second, select the recipients (you’ll be able to adjust quantities as needed at this point). Third, pay for shipping. (Optional) Pour yourself a drink 😉
