Executive summary

Unify brand presence through branded merchandise

Benchmarx Kitchens, a leading UK retailer known for premium kitchens at accessible prices, faced the challenge of executing a national, store-level branding initiative across more than 150 locations. The goal was to unify brand presence through high-quality, custom-branded merchandise – without compromising style, logistics, or timelines. From pantone-matched thermal bottles to branch-specific labelling and distribution, the rollout elevated brand consistency and employee engagement across the entire Benchmarx network.

Their challenge

As part of a nationwide brand refresh, Benchmarx aimed to enhance in-store experience and team culture through curated branded merchandise. However, the scale and standards of the rollout presented key challenges: ensuring brand consistency across all items, managing complex logistics for 150+ stores, addressing limited internal capacity, and delivering products that were both functional and aligned with their premium aesthetic.

Our solution

JSM delivered a bespoke merchandise solution aligned with Benchmarx’s brand and scale: a custom merch box combining utility, style and consistency. Each kit included pantone-matched thermal bottles, everyday tools like tape measures and pens, and branded apparel to boost team identity. Boxes were pre-packed and labelled per branch, streamlining logistics and minimising internal effort – all while enhancing in-store experience and brand cohesion.
