Continuing our live education series, we are very excited to announce that on Tuesday, March 2nd, we will have Steve Gerstman of CutMerch and Greg Rollett from Gen-Y Rock Stars talking about merchandise for artists. This is a free call and will feature an inside look at all aspects of band merch from:
- What types of merch offer the biggest bang for your buck
- What sells better and at what price points
- How to order – from bulk to print on demand
- How to position your graphics
- How to find graphics, logos and designs – from outsourcing to finding artists at your local colleges
- How to get images ready for print – from files to sizes and formats
- What quantities to order because no one wants a box of shirts in their mom’s garage
- Shipping tips from drop shipping vs shipping yourself vs fulfillment house
- Selling on your site – best ways to do it and how to position your items in an appealing manner that goes beyond stock photos and widgets
- Physical vs virtual e-commerce. How does it work?
Here is a video from Greg explaining more:

Here is a little more information on Steve and Cut Merch:
CutMerch is currently supplying merch for Colbie Caillat, Robert Cray, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Moonalice, Buddy Jewell, Todd Snider, The Temptations, Meat Puppets and others.
From Steve, “We have created Cut Merch to find the exact point where the band makes the best merch and most money from their merch activities, without taking up too much of their time and energy. We have a philosophy of putting the tools of music merch in the hands of the bands and the goal of becoming their perfect merch partner. We are already known for our quality and service, but in addition to that we will be launching a platform this year which will be the ultimate merch solution for hundreds of bands.”
