right now
What's up guys Gary Ajene t-shirt helpdesk
dot-com and in this video
I'm gonna give you some tips on how to make merch but first
in case you guys don't know I'm gonna explain to you what merch is
Merchandise is pretty much products that you sell
Outside of your main product. I mean, that's all it pretty much is to give you a few examples
Jack Daniels makes whiskey that's their main product, but they also make hats t-shirts mugs
Glasses whiskey glasses shot glasses they make all this merchandise that go back to their main brand
the rock band Kiss an iconic American brand
They make t-shirts. They make hats they make mugs. They make gloves
They have a very popular line of pinball machines they and like they endorse and license cars
It's crazy what this band makes they probably make more money off of merchandising than they do from their own music royalties. It's crazy
Video games movies you name it?
They all make merch alright
So let's get into some ways that you create merch for your product
Now we all know the old-school basic way. That's to go somewhere to a screen printer
Give them some t-shirts or he may have some t-shirts laying around get them printed
Do you have them and whatever you're selling at your venues concerts?
Whatever you set up a booth and you're selling I mean think we all know that you're more than welcome to do that
Next way is if you guys are a little bit more hands-on is to actually create
8/5 shirts yourself now
there's all different ways to do that the best way the most economical way and the easiest way to me is the use of
custom heat transfers
Alright, so you can see right here this custom. He's transfers. I'll pull it up
broke my heart for you guys, you know you could be doing a hip-hop show or if your
Gucci mane, you can have the infamous ice cream cone t-shirt. Imagine if you were selling some of these merch guys, come on now
no matter what you're doing if you're having someone purchased up if you're printing at home, you need a quality bling and I personally recommend
Bella canvas blinks they are soft they are nice
They fit fantastic people love them and they are a great price

All right. They have all this great information for you on how to design how to size your T's DT G's

Let's get back into this merch now, of course guys selling hand to hand at your venues at events is great
But you're going to need a website
okay, so the best way the easiest way to have your own website to me my personal opinion is
Shopify alright, there's gonna be some links down in the description box, and I also have some
courses on how
to start a
Shopify business, so make sure you check out those courses. Let's keep it going
Okay, guys
Even if you have your own site when those orders come in and hopefully they will you're still gonna have to fulfill them itself
Okay, whether you're printing through our printer or whether you're printing at home, you're gonna have to put them in boxes
You're gonna have to ship them out make labels take them to the post office
Let me tell you about something that you can do call print-on-demand
These are companies that will print for you when the order comes in
They will ship for you. They will do everything for you. You virtually have to do nothing
You don't have to print you don't have to have any inventory they do
Everything so a couple of great companies that I know about are printed by and print full. All right
I have some courses on that. So make sure you check out print on demand
