Distribution looks good on you: Proton’s merch store is open

Proton.ai has launched an online merch store for wholesale distributors, with clothes and accessories for the people who keep everyone else supplied.

You know something about keeping the world going. Hospitals stay stocked, construction crews can work without a hiccup and businesses get supplied everything they need all because of you.

You’ve earned the right to put “Nice Margins” on a hat.

And if “Ship Happens” describes your life philosophy, now it’s on a shirt, too.

It started on the trade show floor

We started bringing merch like this to trade shows because we were looking at a sea of branded pens and stress balls thinking, “Who wants this stuff?”

So we made some fun stickers and put “Ship Happens” on merch—things we hoped people would want enough to book a meeting with our team.

That was the plan, anyway.

Then our team kept getting requests for the merch, including from people who weren’t looking for software. Opening an online merch shop ended up being easier than explaining where we’d got our hats.

People wanted things they would actually choose to wear, with a joke a colleague would get immediately.

What else is in the store?

Stickers for your laptop: “AI Is My Unfair Advantage” and “I Only Have Eyes for SKU.”

A “Think Big” notepad for your desk.

A Proton Freight baby onesie. Handle with care.

Even the checkout is branded for distributors. “Pick ticket” in your cart, complete with bin labels and “Picked by: You.”

When you’ve got what you want to buy, hit “Ship it.”
