For a lot of artists the merch sold while on tour is a lifeline. It literally puts gas in the van and gets you to the next city. Make sure you're putting your best foot forward when setting up at the merch booth each night.

📍 Location: Position your table in a high-traffic area like near the entrance or exit to ensure fans see it before and after the show.

🌆 Display: Keep your setup organized and professional. Use hangers for clothing, display items by category, and ensure everything is visible.

💡 Lighting: Use good lighting to make your merch stand out, especially in dimly lit venues. Battery-powered or rechargeable lamps can be helpful.

🪧 Signage: Clearly label all items with prices to make it easy for fans to make a purchase.

Exclusives: Offer limited-edition or tour-exclusive items to create a sense of urgency and exclusivity.

Merch isn’t just T-shirts and stickers anymore. The key is offering quality, unique items that fit different fan styles and budgets.

💰 What sells:
Staples like T-shirts, hoodies, posters, and vinyl are always fan favorites. Wearables help spread your brand, and collectibles give fans something lasting to take home.

🌟 Make it exclusive:
Tour-only designs, limited-edition tees, posters, or special vinyl create hype and give fans something they can only get at the show.

💸 Keep it affordable:
Add low-cost items like stickers, pins, and keychains so every fan can support you.

📦 Try bundles:
Pair items—like a tee + album—at a discount to boost sales and offer extra value.

👚 Did you know we also offer Direct-to-garment (DTG) printing in addition to traditional screen printing? Is DTG right for your next merch project?

Advantages of DTG:
◦ Detailed designs: It excels at producing high-resolution, detailed, and full-color designs that are photorealistic.

◦ Soft feel: The ink soaks into the fabric, so there is no heavy or stiff layer on top, resulting in a soft and comfortable finish.

◦ Smaller batches: It is cost-effective for small print runs because there are minimal setup costs or screen requirements.

Artists and fans are returning to physical media. DVDs, CDs, LPs — they're all coming back in a big way.

"I think the giant boom of physical media collecting is reflective of what’s going on with the economy and also how people feel about media in general, having a film in your collection versus the void of the internet — it just feels more secure.”

Collectors tell Rolling Stone an exhaustion with streamers is making owning physical media the next big thing — again.
