Upon playing the Purple Door Festival last weekend, I realized that music festivals are the best place to scout for new merchandise table ideas and layouts. Philadelphia-based Christian pop-rock, dueling violins band, REILLY, takes the cake! I didn’t get a chance to buy the album but I almost did simply because their merch table was so hot. Reilly gets 5 stars for representing a stellar band image. Check out these photos, take some ideas, and leave a comment if you like.
CD’s are $12 but $20 for 2. A great way to encourage your fans to take home more than one.
Artwork is clean and convincing. Top middle promo photo describes an energetic band. Pretty convincing. And their posters are quality (visually and tangibly).
The price sheet describes everything. This sheet is one of the most important parts of your table because you can’t always be at your table. Let your table do the talking. Also notice the burlap theme going on through the whole display. And don’t forget those business cards.
Excellent email list idea! Sometimes people love stickers and just want to take them. Give them some incentive. Stickers can be used as a marketing tooL instead of simply a money-making tool. Also love the donation box!
It was also pretty apparent to me that, based on their merchandise table, that if i took some time to find them online, their web presence would be just as put-togehter. And it is. Check out the following links.
