It's A Fact!

For many music fans, collecting band merchandise is a natural extension of their love for, you, their favorite artists. Whether it’s a t-shirt, hoodie, or poster, fans love to show their support for their favorite artist by sporting their merch. As a result, selling merch can be a profitable endeavor for artists and bands.The business of selling merch is tricky and full of unknowns. It can be a really steep learning curve, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, can cost you a lot of money and time.In this article we’ll outline some facts and lay out how you can start making money from you merchandise from month one.

The vast majority of artists selling merchandise are not making money. It’s seen as a must have, or a right of passage. If we have merch we’ve made it! There is no more expensive way than merch to burn through you cash and leave you wishing you shouldn’t have bothered.

The traditional merch model has been the only game in town for 50+ years, but it’s no longer fit for purpose. Minimum order quantities. Limitations on the numbers of colours in a design and the very risky all upfront model.

In all honesty, the traditional merch approach is a guessing game. Starting with, What designs should we print and how many? To, What sizes and products should we offer? All the answers to these questions are unknowns! And come with huge financial risk. Not even the biggest merchandise companies in the world can get the answers to these questions right, so how you expect to!

On average 30% of all printed products never get sold. That means, if you work to this %, out of very 100 t-shirts you print, you’ll be left sitting on 30. This reduces your profit per-unit sold by 30%. Oh, and you’re left with 30 units.

Let me ask a questions, does this sound like a sustainable model? I didn’t think so! And this is way merch has been seen as painful, doesn’t make money and not worth the effort. Until Now!

Unlike the traditional merchandise model, Fanbace uses technology to remove the risk of upfront costs and guesswork.

By removing risk you’re free to be more experimental, and to develop a merchandise strategy generates consistent revenue all year round. When you no long need to worry about finding a printer that will take your order, or finding the cash to pay for the 100 t-shirts your may or may not sell. You can begin to identify opportunities which the traditional model just can support.
