Programs

Three ways companies work with us

Every program runs through a promotional products distributor. If you’re a corporate buyer without one, we’ll connect you with a distributor we already work with. Pricing is net to the distributor; the end client never sees our invoice.

Two ways to source, any program: your client buys the footwear and ships it to us, or we buy it on their behalf at full retail. Mix styles and brands on one order; most programs do.

Program 1

Bulk gifting & recognition

Custom branded footwear for bulk gifting and recognition

Size list in, finished pairs out. Service awards, sales kickoffs, new-hire kits, holiday gifts, retirements.

You choose the footwear. Either you send it to us or we buy it on your behalf. We add the branding, box each pair, and ship to one address or straight to every recipient.

  • Quantity: Typically 25 pairs to thousands. Mix styles and colors in one order.
  • Turnaround: 10–14 business days once footwear and approved artwork are in hand.
  • Includes: free digital mockups, first-pair photo approval on orders of 25+, individual boxing, tracking on every shipment.
  • Options: custom box assembly should you send us boxes, bag, or notecard; laces or inserts; drop-ship to each recipient; split-ship by office, etc.

Program 2

Event programs

The Ave Customs on-site footwear event activation

Attendees try on sample pairs at your conference, launch, or incentive trip, pick a style and decoration, and we make their shoes afterward and ship them to each person. No inventory on site, no sizing guesswork, no big shoebox to pack in their luggage, nothing left over.

We send the sample kit and an order form your staff runs from a phone. For large, multi-day events, our team can be on site. Contact for availability and pricing.

  • Booking: What dates are your event? How many attendees?
  • Delivery: pairs are decorated and shipped direct after the event closes.
  • Options: Try on size run, custom order form, branded station graphics on request, drop-ship to each attendee.
  • Best for: 100+ attendees, multi-city events, incentive trips where luggage space matters.

  • Order intake: PO or possible integration with your system
  • Per-order turnaround: typically 3-7 business days
  • Includes: blind shipping, your packing slip, no minimum per order.
  • Best for: ongoing programs, incentive platforms, large or spread-out workforces.
