style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most companies, merch kits are packages with branded items that you give away to both internal and external audiences. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of the internal audience being the staff and talents (if they are a record label), while the external audience would be potential investors or clients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The kits are customizable inside out. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They usually contain custom branded items but there are times that there are unbranded ones, like snacks, employee handbooks, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/15-creative-brochures-inspiration\/\"><strong>corporate brochure<\/strong><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on why you\u2019re putting together the merch kit, so just read on and you\u2019ll have a rough idea of what to have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from the custom-branded items, the kit, which holds everything together, is also customized. You can choose to have a packet, a box, a tin can, or whatever you have in mind as your items\u2019 container.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are then distributed to whoever you intend to give them to. In the case of musicians, these merch kits are intended for their fans and are usually offered during a n album release.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For K-pop artists, those who\u2019ve got a large fanbase, release a yearly membership kit which includes both merch and a membership to the official fan club.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Article:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/22-custom-band-merch-ideas-for-2022\/\">22 Custom Band Merch Ideas For 2022<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>_________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-do-they-sell-more\"><\/span><b>WHY DO THEY SELL MORE?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s really no need to question why they sell more than individual merch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-36393\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2plus2-1596824542.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2plus2-1596824542.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2plus2-1596824542-300x150.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2plus2-1596824542-1024x512.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2plus2-1596824542-768x384.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2plus2-1596824542-1536x768.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Look at it from a fan\u2019s or customer\u2019s perspective. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Would you really buy merchandise individually when you can already have them in a set or kit?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer is probably NOT unless I&#8217;m flat broke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if a fan only wanted to buy two or three merch from the release, they would still prefer buying the kit because they will surely be saving more money than buying them individually.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Of course, individual merchandise would cost more than the kit since they will have their individual packaging.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, if your merch kit was created for the holiday, it becomes an awesome gift to give to a fan of yours or those that enjoy your music. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obviously, sales for the kit would increase and you might even get a shortage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/best-types-of-merch-to-sell-right-now-if-you-have-a-band\/\">Music Merch: Best Types Of Merch To Sell Right Now If You Have A Band<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"entry-title\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unifiedmanufacturing.com\/blog\/tips-selling-merch\/\">Merch: More Tips To Sell More Merch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>_________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"awesome-merch-kits-weve-seen-lately\"><\/span><b>AWESOME MERCH KITS WE&#8217;VE SEEN LATELY<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lots of merch kits have been released by musicians in the past years, so why not take a look at them to get inspirateion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can follow what was great about them and improve those that were lacking. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some famous merch kits we love:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>#1.
