This is how the Employee Panel rates Radboud University merchandise

Have you ever bought anything from the Radboud Store? Would you go for a Radboud University beach towel or a thermos bottle? And do you prefer to buy these items online or at a physical store? 142 employees from the Employee Panel answered these and more questions in a survey about our merchandise.

Merchandise & sales outlets

What were the results? 39% of the respondents are not familiar with the Radboud webshop and 54% have never bought anything there. However, 75% have received merchandise at some point, notably the red Radboud hoodie or the mug. And the vast majority (76%) is likely to buy merchandise in the future. Fortunately, most people do know that they can then visit the Radboud webshop and Post & Print. However, few know that they can now also buy merchandise at the sports desk in the Gymnasion and in BASS/Oracle (if you have ordering rights). 

Employees were also asked whether they miss any items in the current range. Of all the items suggested, people are particularly positive about a thermos (42%) and a sustainable sandwich wrap (32%). A T-shirt with a cool print, beach towel and sports water bottle are also popular.

Qualitative, useful and sustainable merchandise

Many employees clearly feel that products must be of good quality, useful and sustainable. This perfectly reflects the sustainability objective of the Radboud Store. Did you know for example that all the products are produced and transported as sustainably as possible? And that no profit is made on the merchandise? If a product is relatively 'expensive', that is because it is a sustainable choice.

What's next? 

142 employees provided input on merchandise. Among the respondents 10 pairs of Radboud sports socks were raffled; winners are already notified personally. The results of this survey will be used to optimise the range of the merchandise and improve the visibility (and thus the visibility of Radboud University). Check out the current merch by visiting the webshop, checking BASS (Dressme shop) or dropping by at the sports desk in the Gymnasion!
