Why using merchs?

Using merchandising can enhance the overall experience of your event, promote your brand, and generate additional revenue streams. We have now released a feature to do so but before explaining it how to set up merch, here are some ways you can use merchandising effectively:

1. Branding and Marketing: Create merchandise items such as t-shirts, hoodies, or tote bags with your event's logo or theme. These products can be used to increase your visibility after the event as walking advertisements.
2. Souvenirs and Memories: These can be served as souvenirs for attendees to remember the event by. It also creates a sense of connection and nostalgia for your event.
3. Limited/Exclusive Edition: The merchandise items are already event-exclusive. In addition to that, offer a limited edition to create a sense of urgency and generate excitement from attendees.
4. Collaborations: Consider partnering with local artists, designers, or brands to develop co-branded merchandise that can help attract more customers.

What do you need to know?

1. When buying a ticket, the user will be proposed to buy also your merch.
2. A merch is associated with an event. You can’t add merchandising without creating an event.
3. A user can’t buy merch if they haven’t bought a ticket from the event.
4. This feature is put in place so that users can pick up the merch they bought at the event.
