Gies Business Merchandise Catalog
Merchandise Policy
Gies Merchandise Selection
Taking into consideration the various needs of individual units, the Office of Marketing and Communications will compile and maintain a list of Gies College of Business branded merchandise. All items will be branded with the College wordmark and will be available for purchase by units for gifts, events, etc. We are all stewards of the Gies brand, and we look forward to working with you and your units to make it the strongest brand possible.
Turnaround Time
Merchandise requests require five weeks of lead time for quality development and production. The MarCom office is not equipped to maintain inventory of all merchandise items.
Departmental Orders
Units may place orders for any item within the MarCom catalog, which includes promotional items as well as wearable merchandise. While units are not permitted to order items outside of those available in the current catalog, units are welcome to suggest new items for the next cycle that MarCom can explore.
MarCom can accept CFOP payment for items purchased on behalf of the unit. Select items are available in the Welcome Center for individuals wishing to purchase items for personal use. The Welcome Center accepts credit/debit card payment for items that are in stock. For ordering wearable items not in stock, individuals will be directed to Campus Ink.
Personal Orders
Select items are available in the Welcome Center for individuals wishing to purchase items for personal use. The Welcome Center accepts credit/debit card payment for items that are in stock. To order wearable items not in stock, individuals are encouraged to visit the Campus Ink website.
Catalog Prices
The merchandise catalog includes price estimates for bulk orders placed by units. Actual price will vary depending on the quantity purchased, shipping needs, etc.
Degree Program or Event Merchandise
Our marketing strategy emphasizes Gies Business as our core brand, not individual programs or units. United as Gies Business, our brand is stronger and more recognized. Thus, all merchandise must be branded at the College level (i.e., include the Gies wordmark). There may be rare occasions where having the name of the degree may be valuable in promoting the overall Gies brand. For such occasions, a special request can be made to the MarCom office for such merchandise.
We believe these types of special requests should be minimal, and the request should include:
- An explanation of the need for the additional imprint
- A description of how the item would be used
- An indication that the special item could be used more than once. For example, an iMBA t-shirt for a student welcome packet can be used over the course of several years.
Cross-disciplinary programs that serve students outside of Gies Business are allowed to include the program name on apparel and select merchandise items. However, the Gies wordmark must always be present and must work with MarCom to ensure proper use and placement.
Returns
All merchandise sales are final except in the instance of a quality issue. Once items are purchased, they are the unit’s responsibility to distribute appropriately. MarCom is not able to refund unused items.
MarCom is in the process of updating all branded items with the new Gies wordmark. Some items may/may not reflect the wordmark shown in the catalog. Contact your MarCom team lead with any questions.
