Do you want to be part of my merchandise label?

[Darren]

Forgot to mention this the other day; me and a friend are currently putting together our own merchandise label, just about done all the product research and we've set a deadline to be up and running for the start of September.

Were currently in touch with a small music festival to design and supply their clothing range but were also looking for other leads. Anything from events, festivals and bands who don't currently have their own merchandise really, we'll have just a small range of merchandise to begin with; badges, t-shirts, jumpers, hoodies, posters, stickers and CD's.
We will offer a kinda of fulfilment service, leaving us to do all the work for a percentage of the profits, it also means you'll be a part of our label (like backstreet and the other merchandisers).

Also, there will just be a custom service, so you don't have to commit to anything and can order just 1 item if you want.

Just a brief post to let you know the outline but if you run an event or are a band/artist and think this is something that interests you then PM me

A bit more progress has been made with the label and the next step of the 'empire' is in place; the heat press has been purchased

I've got to say the initial t-shirt tests have been impressive, the results look professional and well up there with the retail standard but I knew using top quality materials would bring joy!
Just got to go through the aftercare testing but that doesn't concern me as the suppliers I'm using have an impeccable history.

Also, we've had some interest from a few artists; I can't say the names but one artist is becoming massive and he's playing all the top festivals this summer, one band have just been signed and rising pretty fast and the other band are making a bit of a comeback after a few years since being dropped by poptones!

These were contacts my friend and business partner had, he's been in touch and they want some design samples made up, so fingers crossed with those.

[Sean]

It should be the rule of the forum that if anyone on here needs merch/gets big Darren can do the merch.

Should get The Courteeners to use you too.

You would think the Courteeners had a more established company for their merch, sadly.

[Sean]

Suppose, I'm not a big fan of who they've moved it to though. They always send me spam emails.

Nice to see you around Cal, yeah I did know about the full band you got going but that's all, so it's great to hear that things are taking off for you and the lads.

I'll get in touch mate
