Your Music Merchandising Tips Wanted
Do you make extra money selling T-shirts, caps, mugs and other cool items related to your music? If so, I might be able to help you get some exposure sharing your experiences. I'd like to write an article or two on music merchandising and I'm looking for lots of real-life examples to include.
Here's the deal: Send your top merchandising do's and don'ts to bob@thebuzzfactor.com and I'll consider using them in my articles. Please include your name, band name and web site address so you can be properly credited. Send what's worked for you as well as the merchandising pitfalls to avoid. I want the good, the bad and the ugly.
Happy music merchandising!
