Merch bundles that make your music drop pay
Streams pay pennies. Bundles pay rent. Pair every release with something fans can hold.
Bundle smart
Tee plus digital album, hoodie plus signed poster, vinyl plus exclusive track. The music is the reason, the merch is the revenue.
Price bundles at three tiers. Most fans pick the middle, superfans pick the top.
Limited wins
Number your first run. Scarcity sells faster than quality alone. One hundred numbered tees beat unlimited generic ones.
Open preorders with the music pre save. Same hype window, double the capture.
Fulfill like a pro
Use print on demand to start, no inventory risk. Graduate to bulk when a design proves itself.
Next step: design one tee for your next single and launch it with the pre save.
Design for the fan
The best merch is stuff fans wear even if they did not know the artist. Great design outsells logos.
Test designs with your audience before printing bulk. Polls prevent expensive mistakes.
Your Monday action plan
Design one merch item for your next single. Keep it simple and wearable.
Set up the product page and launch it alongside your pre save. Same hype, double capture.
