MERCHANDISE

According to Isiah Friar from Crockett High School, located in Austin, Texas, he has been thinking about this topic for a while now. As a new artist, he would like to increase the popularity of his brand. This new wave of uncertainty overwhelmed him. After weeks of brainstorming, he was finally able to decide. What better way to show off your work than creating stylish merchandise? Merchandise, widely referred to as “merch”, can be any type of goods that are sold to the public. This can be great for new artists wanting to give away free and addictive promotion to people without them even noticing. In fact, last year the average artist made over $10,000 from merchandise alone. It’s similar to having people pay you to become walking billboards! Popular artists’ merchandise can sell up to hundreds of thousands of dollars unintentionally. Merch is an amazing way to promote your brand and it also gives an opportunity to express yourself. Kanye West is really good at this. All of the crazy fashion designs and ideas he comes up with become a trend on social media no matter what they look like. If you are looking for a trendy way of connecting with your fans, promoting your business, and expressing yourself then you should try making some merch.
