THE CHALLENGES
With all the other competing factors in running a club, merchandise is often overlooked not only as a valuable revenue stream, but also as a branding and community engagement opportunity. It can be tough to develop a great range of merchandise at a scale that makes economic sense whilst dealing with all the design and ordering hassle.
Clubs are left struggling with high order quantities for a single simple design, holding boxes and boxes of stock with a big initial outlay, waiting weeks for orders, hand printing designs with a heat press or failing to sell to the buyer who wants a medium when all you have is 12 large left! Kit manufacturers might develop great kit (which we don’t make), but their fanwear like Hoodies, Sweatshirts and T-shirts they supply to your club can be uninspiring or just templated.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Because of the innovative way Merchon designs and manufactures, we bypass the hassle. We develop lots of great designs quickly, in every size (kids and adults) and loads of colours, at a competitive price for fans and players.
Fans easily navigate to your clubs products and order direct on merchon.co.uk and their products are sent direct to a their home address in around 5 working days. Clubs don’t buy stock or pay any money to join and get selling.
We even make a useful set of marketing graphics for you to promote your new range to fans on social media or around the club. We pay a royalty each quarter to the club for each item sold, Merchon handles the rest.
From one-off orders for tour hoodies, to a wider club shop offering, we can deliver.
NO SMALL PRINT
We don’t ask clubs to stop working with other suppliers or to work with us exclusively or to stop selling any other merchandise you might develop yourself. We’re here to add a capability to your club and not restrict what you can do.
Sign up online is easy and we'll work with all your branding to make the products customised to you and at high quality.
We have a more detailed document on the whole setup and timings that we’d be happy to send to your club. Simply contact Clubs@Merchon.co.uk and we’ll get in touch, chat through your needs and answer any questions you have.
