The RISS online storefront is intended to serve as both a workforce development platform and a centralized public marketplace supporting multiple campus industries and creative initiatives.

The storefront will support:

• RISS publications

• Branded merchandise

• Artwork

• Creative projects

• Resident-created products

• Print media

• Liquidation inventory

• Handmade or restored items

• Works produced through Voice & Verdict Publishing

• Creative works from incarcerated and formerly incarcerated artists and writers

The storefront is also intended to provide residents with exposure to modern digital commerce systems and online business operations.

Residents participating in storefront operations may gain experience in:

• Product photography

• Product listing creation

• Inventory systems

• Order fulfillment

• Shipping systems

• Customer communication

• Online branding

• E-commerce operations

• Content management

• Packaging and logistics

The storefront is intentionally designed as more than a fundraising mechanism.

It is part of a larger effort to expose residents to modern workforce environments and entrepreneurial systems.

Digital commerce now plays a major role across countless industries.

Understanding how products are presented, marketed, packaged, sold, and delivered has become an increasingly important workforce skill set.
