This past weekend, I visited the beautiful Trump Winery in Charlottesville. The estate was stunning, with perfectly manicured lawns, lined vineyards, and impeccable attention to detail. The gift shop featured high-end merchandise that reflected the winery's luxurious image—yet, despite the quality, the designs fell flat. The items lacked the creativity and appeal that would have made them memorable.
This got me thinking about how often this happens—whether at a winery, a highly anticipated SEC football game, or any event. You’re excited to grab a keepsake, but when the designs don’t resonate, the experience feels incomplete.
Bad Merch Hurts More Than Just the Moment
Merchandise is an extension of the brand experience. Thoughtfully designed, high-quality merch leaves a lasting impression, serving as a cherished reminder of a special moment. But when the design is uninspired, even high-end items can feel like a missed opportunity. For businesses, it’s not just about a sale—it’s about extending the brand’s reach and making an emotional connection with the customer.
Good Merch Attracts New Customers
When your merch is high-quality and has a cool design, people will actually want to wear it. Whether it’s employees or customers, great merch becomes something they’ll reach for again and again. It’s not just a one-time souvenir—it’s something they’re proud to show off, making them walking ambassadors for your brand.
