[H3] Why Merch Is One of Your Most Underused Brand Channels

Companies invest heavily in their digital channels, but far less attention is paid to how their brand experience translates in the physical world. Website. Campaigns. Social. Email. Paid media. That focus makes sense. Digital touchpoints are measurable, scalable and constantly optimized. But when the experience shifts…

[IMG: Hard to believe it’s already the final day of SHRM26.
Over the last few days, we’ve had conversations with HR leaders from organizations of all sizes about culture, recognition, onboarding, events, uniforms, and the experiences that shape how people connect with a brand.
And apparently, we’ve helped add a few People Person and Culture Dept hats to the show floor along the way.
If you’re here and haven’t stopped by Booth 4749 yet, come say hello. We’d love to connect.

Great conversations, new connections, and plenty of discussion around how organizations create experiences that connect people and brands.
If you’re walking the show floor this morning, stop by Booth 4749 for a smoothie and a conversation. We’d love to hear what you’re working on and share a few ideas of our own.
Looking forward to another great day in Orlando.

[IMG: The final day of House of HALO closed the week in an unforgettable way.
The day began with HALO leadership taking the stage to build on the week’s conversations, announcements, and momentum while sharing a deeper look at what’s ahead for the business and seller community.
Attendees then took part in a series of focused sessions led by preferred supplier partners, giving direct access to new ideas, capabilities, expertise, and emerging opportunities helping shape the future of the industry and seller experience.
And while the week was filled with incredible activations and experiences, the closing celebration truly ended things on a high note. The energy, connection, and atmosphere throughout the evening were so strong that no one wanted it to end.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended, participated, collaborated, and helped bring House of HALO to life. What made the week special was the collective energy, creativity, and community behind it.
