  • 1.  Online Merchandise Sales

    Posted 06-20-2018 01:54
    Does anyone out there know of a place to set up and sell merchandise for shows. In other words, a place that will let your patrons go online and select items like bags, t-shirts, mugs, pens, etc...with your show or department logo on them? I'm thinking this could be a good fundraiser, but...??? What are your thoughts?

    BNS sports allow you to do this.  you  can set up an accoount with them and they have all kinds of merchandise to sell.  I am not 100% on how it works but our Yearbook and Athletics use it.

    I recently started using an online store through Square. It's been really easy to use, and actually all of our sales went up because of the ease of purchasing. I now put everything up there so I don't have to work with as many cash deposits. It was also very easy to embed the link to the store into my square space website.

    I've been using CafePress.com for years. They have lots of items that can be personalized, and you can set up your own store. They are very strict on copyright issues, so you'll need to have permission to use show logos if you want to use them

    One other place that I have used to get our cast tee shirts is "Custom Ink".  They Have been very supportive and helpful on everything we have done.

    Our band does it on their website. It sounds like a good idea. Maybe, I'll try it.

    Break a leg and may all your theatre seats be filled.
