Merchandise Research
For me the creation of merchandise is a very simple process, and when researching this it became even more evident that this was the case. The very simple design of a music artists merchandise comprises of placing the band name, logo or strapline on a typical t-shirt, jumper or hat etc. All of which are very basic but provide a certain demand for the consumers that are a fan of the artist. You'll often find that with big artists such as the artist they are able to charge extortionate prices for their products because there is a very limited supply of them.
