SOAPBOX helps discerning BRAND BUILDERS be innovative about how they broadcast their BRAND by means of on-trend corporate gifts and clothing. SOAPBOX is the only company with a 24-hour money-back guarantee on embroidery turn-around services. Soapbox Promo and Gifts was established in August 2007 with one four-head industrial embroidery machine and one employee. Our quality workmanship and service excellence soon became well-known and well respected within the industry. We grew from a client base of 74 customers working out of our garage in 2007, to having more than 5000 clients today, of which the biggest are TrenTyre nationally, Michelin and BF Goodridge, Medshield, Medihelp, Dros, Strata and Amcoal mine groups. As the demand for Soapbox's services grew, the need arose to expand the business and in June 2010 Soapbox acquired Gear Dimension, an embroidery company that had been running since 2004. This acquisition increased the production capacity by 400%. In the last three years, Soapbox has grown considerably due to a number of industry-first innovations. Soapbox established itself as the first and remains the only supplier in South Africa boasting at first, a 72-hour money back guarantee on embroidery, and in 2016 improved on this offering by adding a 24-hour money-back guarantee on embroidery. Together with improvisation by the major suppliers in the market, we can now deliver 24 hour branding on 170 corporate gifting items and embroider an average of 1000 logos in 24 hours. In 2017 Soapbox Promo & Gifts franchised. The SOAPBOX franchise model offers a true partnership to its franchisees, marrying the benefits of a big business with the nimbleness of an inter-dependent customer-facing “local” business. Many industries consolidated to the point where only big businesses really survives and thrives and small operations are marginalised and often pushed to the side lines. The corporate gift and clothing industry is on this same slippery slope. SOAPBOX has the business model to help their franchisees swim against the tide and combine the dual benefits of the buying power and systems of a big business with the independence and profit margins of a small business.
