SchoolWear.ca: 6IXSENSES Designs Web Stores from the Ground Up

Active participation in physical health education helps students succeed both academically and socially.  Marchant’s has been producing high-quality apparel and equipment to help students achieve this goal for over 45 years. To make it easier for physical health educators, principals, and coaches, Marchants have come up with an innovative and hassle-free approach to implementing spirit wear programs in schools. 6IXSENSES is proud to be part of SchoolWear.ca’s growth journey.

Introduction

Marchants has been offeirng school spirit wear for decades and in 2015, they they created SchoolWear.ca dedicated solely to school spirit wear. Previously, Marchants offered sports equipment, clothing, and various other product ranges to all team leagues, university communities, municipalities, and individuals. Now, students or anyone affiliated with a particular organization can access a line of differently branded and unique clothing specific to their school through SchoolWear.

SchoolWear presents top-of-the-line customizations for products such as Under Armour, Adidas, Russell, Gildan, and many more. As a result, a fully fledged, stand-alone web store was built. The goal was to create a store for each school that had various types of teams, or a store for each team. This would allow students to browse through a variety of apparel from sports jerseys to hoodies. By incorporating the school logo, students could feel a sense of belonging to their school community. The main objective of shopping for school wear through their designated web store is to promote a sense of ownership and pride in the organization they belong to, while also uplifting the student communities and making one another feel less lonely.

T-shirts, track pants, hoodies, caps, and backpacks with their school logos will be available to students. The majority of school spirit wear is optional, and it can be worn by students, teachers, staff, parents, and even coaches.

Today’s Web Store

There are currently over 400 web stores in SchoolWear, each with its own dedicated space. This website brings together different school clubs and teams and offers convenient, cost-effective, quality design, and branded clothing that can be purchased from the comfort of your home. For example, if your school is located in the north and the other school is located in the far south, an online web store allows you to feel like the school is just down the street.
