With streaming continuing to be the primary way fans consume music today, merchandise remains an easily accessible source of revenue for artists, yet it seems to get the least amount of attention with regard to planning and strategy. A good “merch mix," targeted ROI, organized tracking, data gathering, and analysis to make future decisions are all things that need to happen in order to maximize merch revenue. Join this workshop to explore why you need a merchandise strategy, how to create one, and what it can do for you.
