Successfully Scheduling a Merch Store

Dreaming up some new custom gear? 

Here’s what you need to know to successfully plan out your Merch Store schedule so you have your gear in hand when you want it.

 Timing is everything! 

Once your store is built and ready, you choose how long your store is open (typically 10-14 days). Once we close your store, we order your blanks and then all orders go to production.  You can expect your gear to be ready within 14 business days

Leaving your store open for 10-14 business days gives people plenty of time to order without having to wait too long to get their merch.

STEP ONE

Choose Products

The first step to getting your Merch Store online is picking the products you want to sell. We’ve found it best to keep things simple. Too many choices can confuse people and make it hard to generate excitement. Think big box store vs well curated boutique.

STEP TWO

Finalize Artwork

What you decide to put on your custom gear can make a huge impact on how well it sells. Need inspiration? Check out this article with ideas for how to make your custom gear stand out with bold artwork placement.

STEP THREE

Promote Your Store

Once we build your Merch Store the only thing left to do is let people know it is TIME TO ORDER! You decide how long your store will stay open for but remember that all orders get produced together. Leaving your store open for 10-14 days gives people plenty of time to order.

THAT'S IT

WE DO THE REST

Sit back and relax! We’ll handle the heavy lifting. We track orders, manage payments, and even ship directly so you don’t have to spend your time figuring out the best way to get people their gear. 

Selling your merch couldn’t be easier!
