    Leave a Comment

    Only a few days left until Christmas and New Year and we at Instore Agency want to take this opportunity to thank you, our customers,and partners for successful collaborations during the year.All from unique and stylish hangers to our tailor-made bags,e-commerce packaging and gift boxes. Your trust has been crucial for our continued development and success.

    One of our biggest investments in 2023 is our launch of Print A Box. Our new webshop for online design of exclusive gift boxes. Perfect for those occasions when time is short, and the quantites are small.

    “We wanted to create a seed calendar that maintained high quality in both box and content, and that didn’t take up too much space in the home. We also didn’t want it to make a big impact on the environment. We found Printabox which had exactly what we were looking for. There are many different sizes and colors to choose from, and the quality of both box and print is very high. It’s also easy to edit and design your print directly on the webshop, so you get the box exactly as you want it”

    – Anna Herlog – Days in gray (Our very first customer at PrintABox.se)

    Also worth mentioning are our 3D printed mannequins in biomaterial.These mannequins are not only the most durable on the market, but they also offer endless and unique design possibilities. We look forward to more requests and projects with 3D printed mannequins in 2024.

    Our opening hours during Christmas and New Year:
    Customer service will be available December 27th and December 28th.
    The warehouse is open for deliveries on December 28th.
    We will resume our regular hours on January 2nd.

    Leave a Comment

    MEET OUR NEW MEMBERS OF OUR SALES TEAM!

    In the last six months, we have expanded our customer success-team with two new employees at the office in Lidköping. In Mölndal, we also have our new salesperson on board. We are very happy to finally be able to present them to you as well and welcome them to us at Instore Agency.

    Let us introduce our new Key account manager!

    Jonas, can you please tell us a little about you?
    My name is Jonas Olsen and I’m 45 years old. I’m a father of two and lives in Fiskebäck near Gothenburg with my family. Most recently, I came from the recruitment and staffing industry as a customer manager. I also have a lot of experience from retail and have been working in stores like Ströms, NK and Tiger of Sweden.

    What are your strengths in your professional role?
    I am a good communicator, committed and determined
    with a vision of long and safe cooperation with our customers.

    How does it feel to be a part of Instore Agency?
    What made me apply to Instore Agency was that I saw a long-term perspective and get to work with products that I recognize and have knowledge about from my time when I worked with retail. Being a part of Instore Agency feels incredibly fun and I want to thank you for a nice welcome!

    Next up, our new Sales Coordinator, Mimmi!
    Who are you?

    My name is Mimmi Kumpumäki and I am 34 years old. Born and raised in Hallstahammar located near Västerås. But I moved to Lidköping about 7 years ago. I live here with my partner and our 3-year-old daughter and right now we are renovating our old 60s house, so now you understand where my free time is spent right now.

    What have you done before Instore Agency?

    I have worked in retail for the past 14 years, both with clothes, shoes and jewellery. Salesperson, sales manager and store manager are my various titles. I really do love customer service and new customer meetings. The position as Sales coordinator at Instore Agency suits me perfectly as I have a lot of customer contact. A very fun and varied job that gives me a lot of personal development, and I like that! Also, I am responsible for our social media, which gives me an opportunity to express my creative side.

    Finally, our new customer service and e-commerce coordinator, Sofia!

    Tell us a little of yourself?

    My name is Sofia Sand and I am 31 years old. I live with my family in a villa in Lidköping. My daughters are 1 year and 3 years old. I like to spend my free time with my family and play padel with my friends when I get the opportunity.

    What made you apply for this position at Instore Agency?

    After working with sales in stores for over 10 years now, I wanted to continue work with customer service but in a new form and e-commerce feels just right for me.
    I have worked in stores with Instore Agency hangers for a long time, so it feels good to be able to sell products I know are good and of good quality.

    We warmly welcome our new employees and look forward to a successful 2023 with more knowledge and strength on the sales side!

  6. New sustainable and smart e-commerce solutions

    Leave a Comment

    As a part of the development and growth of e-commerce, Instore Agency has updated the range of various sustainable e-commerce solutions. Now, for example, there are paper bags customized for e-commerce that directly replace the traditional plastic bags. Of course, the plastic bags remain as a durable and good packaging alternative, but we favour recycled and bio-based materials. This is because we want to contribute to sustainable development in this line of business and in the long term minimize the use of non-renewable raw materials.

    When it comes to boxes, Instore Agency can offer everything from various standard solutions to fully customized boxes that present the product and protect it in the best way. The customization and our long experience of creative solutions makes Instore Agency an excellent partner when it´s time to develop new packaging for brand new products.

    The packaging and unboxing experience is today a very important part of the final customer experience. The fact that the product appears complete and nicely presented is a decisive factor for the customer to order again, and to recommend the company to friends. Another important part of the choice of packaging is a simple and easy return solution.

    Does this sound interesting? Contact us and we will present a perfect solution based on your wishes and needs.

  7. Peak Performance chooses biodegradable mannequins in PLA

    Leave a Comment

    With PLA, a new era has begun in the line of business. Instead of continuing to manufacture plastics and material from oil, the focus has shifted towards renewable raw materials. With biomaterials such as PLA, carbon dioxide emissions are significantly reduced, not at least because plants absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. Peak Performance has an enunciated focus on sustainability and therefore the choice of materials was easy.

    Short facts PLA

    • PLA is made from biomaterials such as starch from either corn or sugar beets
    • PLA can be reused as bioplastics
    • PLA can be composted in industrial plants
    • PLA can advantageously be incinerated for energy recovery as it doesn´t emit any toxins

    The production

    Instead of using expensive molds, the mannequins are made by printing through a special 3D printer. As a company you can choose between two different types of mannequins.

    1.) “Raw-printed” mannequins without after-treatment. They consist of 100% biomaterial and are 100% biodegradable. These mannequins have visible print lines.

    2.) Postprocessed mannequins where the print lines are hidden by filling and paint. They will then be as smooth and fine as regular fiberglass mannequins but are an environmentally better alternative since the main part consists of biomaterials.

    Durable in dual sense

    Good to know is that all PLA mannequins have the same strength and durability as fiberglass. They will have a long life in the store. And as mentioned before, the corn that Instore Agency’s PLA is made from has absorbed carbon dioxide during the time it has grown in the fields. We at Instore Agency hope that Peak Performance is as satisfied as we are about the new nice mannequins.

  8. Me & I is investing in durability with recycled materials

    Leave a Comment

    – Our collaboration with Me & I started a few years ago when we were asked if we could develop sustainable environmentally friendly products, says Emre Vatansever, Key account manager at Instore Agency. Me & I has a strong sustainability profile and it was important for them that we could adapt to it. That was no problem as we are passionate about these issues ourselves.

    Some of requirements was to work with recycled materials, that the products would be locally produced and that the lead times would be short. Today, Instore Agency delivers plastic hangers to Me & I consisting of at least 86% recycled material and e-commerce bags made of at least 50% recycled material. In addition, Me & I has chosen to make their shopping bag a multi-purpose bag that customers can use over and over again.

    These changes and improvements have been very well received. It is also an example of how a close  collaboration lifts both customer and supplier, and leads to more sustainable fashion sales.

  9. Hanger renovation (Reduce, ReUse, Repair, Recycle)

    Leave a Comment

    When clothes produced around the world are sold in stores, the hanger, often produced together with the garment, remains. That is why we work with our clothing chains customers to ensure that the hangers are returned in a circular system in order to be reused or recycled.

    Many hangers can be reused in stores over and over again. But since the requirements for the hangers in our customers’ logistics chains or central warehouses are higher than in the stores, not all returned hangers can meet the requirements for reuse. Most often this is because the hooks of the recycled hangers are not enough fixed to meet the requirements of the textile industry’s transport- and conveyor belt system.

    At Instore Agency we have developed a unique system for renovating hangers so that the hook is fixed again and the recycled hangers can be used again in our customers’ logistics chain, just as if the hangers were new. This development exists thanks to a close collaboration between Instore Agency and KappAhl and has resulted in a process that saves both the environment and the economy.

    Does this collaboration sound interesting? You are welcome to us to discuss which solutions we can develop together with you for a better world.
