Beyond The Uniform: 10 Years of Evolution in SYNC Performance’s Custom Program
Celebrating a decade of pushing the envelope in performance alpine apparel, SYNC Performance has proudly reached its 10-year milestone. During this journey, SYNC’s Custom Program has raised the bar for custom alpine uniforms and evolved into a solution that has set a new standard for custom uniforms. Join us as we reflect on how the program has become a driving force in fostering community and uniform accessibility.
SYNC’s Custom Program emerged to revolutionize the gear-ordering process. Recognizing the challenges faced by athletes' families and team administrators’ SYNC abolished the traditional models and set out to elevate a new standard for uniform ordering.
What distinguishes SYNC's Custom Program is its unique year-round online ordering platform, a refreshing change from the industry's rigid deadlines. Providing unmatched flexibility without minimum order constraints, teams, clubs, and organizations can fine-tune their orders, whether for one or multiple items. The program removes barriers from a clunky process and takes pride in its exceptional customer service. The Custom Team is one phone call away, assisting teams, coaches, and athletes year-round.
SYNC provides flexibility in ordering through its Custom Program and fosters a sense of community with custom apparel tailored for every season. From jackets and layers for both on and off-hill training, the Custom Program goes beyond outfitting athletes alone. SYNC understands that a thriving community involves more than just apparel. The custom gear and benefits extend to coaches, parents, and volunteers. In addition, SYNC delivers a percentage of team store funds generated back to partnered clubs. This inclusivity and added benefits ensure that everyone feels a part of their community and is well-prepared for all athletic endeavors.
Evolving from its early days, the Custom Program provides a hands-free ordering experience each season. Initially offering traditional “group” orders, the program quickly adapted to the need for a more efficient and personalized approach. After years of refining and development, the Custom Program created its unique team store platform.
The team store platform streamlines the entire ordering experience for clubs and team administrators. Serving to be more than just a platform, it ensures a hassle-free process for athletes and families. While providing the convenience of year-round ordering, the team store platform gives access to many products applicable to any season or activity. The Custom Program handles the intricate embroidery process from start to finish, prioritizing quality and turnaround times. In addition to these benefits, the platform ensures straightforward direct-to-consumer shipping and seamless payment processing. By providing a smooth and effortless uniform ordering process, team administrators can focus on the development of their athletes while continuing to grow their ski communities.
In 2021, the team store platform introduced a tiered program based on club size, delivering personalized solutions to meet the distinct needs of each team. This program has adapted to the needs of each club, presenting multiple incentives and rewards beyond team uniforms.
As SYNC Performance celebrates its 10th anniversary, the evolution of the Custom Program stands as a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and fostering growth in ski racing communities. What started as a mission to redefine the gear ordering experience has grown into a comprehensive platform that goes beyond delivering exceptional custom uniforms. Looking ahead, SYNC's Custom Program continues to lead the way, offering personalized solutions and exciting initiatives to support athletes and the community behind them.
