Selling tour merchandise at your concert is a great and easy way to make money. Not only that, but your fans are happy because they leave with a reminder of your show. It’s a win-win situation. Here are 5 tips to help you get the most out of your merchandise booth.
Have An Actual Booth: Invest some money in buying a decent table, tablecloth, banner, and some decorations. Don’t sell your t-shirts out of boxes. Try to make the booth look as professional and unique as possible.
Focus on Location: Place the booth in a well-lit and easily accessible area. If the venue is dark, consider placing some lights so that the booth is visible.
Accept Credit Cards: Not everyone carries cash. Don’t lose potential customers by not accepting credit cards.
Switch Up The Merchandise: Switch it up. Offer limited edition pieces, or you can even consider tailoring your pieces based on where you’re performing. For instance, if you’re going to perform in San Francisco, incorporate San Francisco in your t-shirts. The more variety you have, the better.
Hang Out At The Booth After The Show: If you’re at the booth, chances are your fans will be there as well. Offer to autograph t-shirts or other items your selling. It is more likely that they will purchase merchandise.
Selling tour merchandise can be a great way to make extra money. If it’s in your budget, consider setting up a booth at your next show.
