Tips for getting the most out of Merch
Creating a merch store is half the battle, but you still need to promote your products on YouTube. Here are some tips for getting more views and making the most out of your new merch store:
- Talk about your merch in your videos or on stream frequently.
- Do a big “launch day” stream where you do surprise giveaways with items in your new store.
- Keep your store updated with fresh designs each month.
- Run merch giveaways, limited edition sales, and host design contests.
- Wear your merch in your videos. No one is better at representing your brand than you, so wear your products on screen and talk about what you love about them.
How to Price Your Products
When it comes to pricing your products, think about how much profit you want to make. You have complete control over how you price your merch items, but try to keep your viewers’ perspectives in mind. It’s best to try to maximize profits but not overprice your products. Do some research on similar designs and how what other people are charging for them. At the end of the day, viewers wearing your merch is going to help promote your channel to a wider audience. You may want to consider lowering your prices so that a larger percentage of your viewers can afford to buy them and help get your name out there!
Consider adding Limited Edition merch for a higher price point if you want to have a good balance of affordable and expensive items. This can help ensure that your die-hard fans get exclusive merch while also providing cheaper options for everyone else.
