Engaging with the people who matter to you in this hybrid world is central to the health and growth of your organization. Summit’s technology solutions are designed to support business needs and come with an experienced team who knows how to navigate today’s most challenging business concerns. Whether it’s our full-fledged online shops on our state-of-the-art Apex platform, or temporary pop-up shops, or a recognition and incentives program on our proprietary platform, Sierra, or the endless possibilities to connect with your audience through our Virtual Engagement Tool, Summit’s technology suite enables our clients to leverage the need for human connection and build better brand experiences.

 

Best-in-class Technology Tools Empower Your Organization

Our tech tools deliver site analytics and full team support — from design through merchandising — ensuring they resonate and deliver on your objectives. With your customers, donors, or employees spread around the world, our technology and our centrally located Fulfillment Center provide your organization with the resources you need to reach out and engage your target audience — not to mention our deep inventory capacity, kitting capabilities, and sophisticated logistics services.

E-Commerce

Summit offers a full-service approach to your online store with Apex, our e-commerce platform. Let your customers shop by category, price, and more, and give them a seamless checkout experience. To ensure your products will surprise and delight your audience, let Summit help you find the best branded gifts that will resonate with the people who matter to you the most. Reports on inventory, spending, and analytics are available at regular intervals and are customizable to your needs. Our warehouse is centrally located in the U.S. and has the capacity to hold your inventory, and our on-site team will ship and pack each order for timely delivery.

Are you running a special promotion or need to hide a category while you wait for new inventory? Some of the many exciting capabilities of Apex are the ability to hide categories that only certain users can access when logged in to an account, and to create categories that are password-protected. Summit’s team is ready to support your Apex platform experience and strengthen your brand.

Virtual Engagement

Whether you see your team every day or only on a screen, you can easily engage your employees, donors, or members with Summit’s Virtual Engagement Tool. Reward your audience with prizes as they interact with the virtual tool in a multitude of ways. Whether you are doing a limited-time event or an ongoing promotion, our technology is designed to engage and help you get your gift where it needs to go.

 

Recognition and Incentives

While the global workforce continues to find realignment following major shifts over the last three years, companies who are looking for ways to reward and recognize their personnel are the ones with a solid path forward.

The power to retain employees and increase their engagement — and attract incredible new talent — lies in your hands, and it can be done without compromising the goals of the company or the people who matter to you.

Branded Merch Trends

Gifts that wow the recipient — and maybe even make the giver a little green with envy — will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression. This season, branded merchandise gifting is all about bringing the outdoors inside. Natural-inspired elements like wood finishes are just the touch you need to feel that seasonal coziness without venturing out in the cold. Pre-potted plants and plant-growing kits are ideal to give a little green and go green. Just add water! Indoor plants made a tremendous comeback during the pandemic, and that’s one trend that we’re glad to see stuck around.

Creative Marketing

While all of Summit’s exciting offerings are great on their own, our creative marketing communications is the invisible thread that ties everything perfectly together. Create a beautifully designed and expertly executed email campaign to promote your Sierra-based rewards program. Set up your HR team with a password-protected section on Apex to send out onboarding kits to new talent. Reward employees who complete their training through our Virtual Engagement Tool. Our technology is user-friendly and our team is ready to help you engage your audience no matter where they are.

Bonus Holiday Gift Guide

With the hottest brand names and most popular trends, our holiday gift guide has what you’ll need to move the hearts and minds of the people who matter to you. End-of-year gift-giving is one final critical touchpoint with your audience before the calendar starts anew. Let our branded merchandise experts help you send the right message to your audience with a branded holiday gift.

Summit’s solutions enable you to focus on your business needs and move the hearts and minds of the people who matter to you.
