Pick Your Colors<\/h2>\n

Colors are a great way to define your brand. If you have a distinct color palette, it makes it easier for people to identify you. Merch is a crucial part of this. Spreadshop<\/a> has an array of color options for t-shirts, hoodies, and much more. And you can toggle off colors that don\u2019t suit the style of your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

You also want to make sure this is carried through with your designs. Design tools like <\/span>Canva<\/a><\/strong> allow you to upload your own color palette. You can easily create text and graphics that match the aesthetic of your brand on your own. Make sure you use these brand colors in the theme of your website. This makes for a more immersive experience for visitors of your shop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Design Time!<\/h2>\n

Once you have your brand colors, and can have fun making merch<\/a> designs for all kinds of products. Merch is more than just t-shirts, you know. Think about what designs would work best on tote bags or as stickers. Depending on the niche of your brand, you want to give your customers options that work for them and their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask your followers or close friends for input on design ideas. They know you best and might have suggestions you wouldn\u2019t have even thought of. That could be turning one of your catchphrases or a quirk you have into a design. You need to think outside of the box if you want your merch to stand out from the crowd. This is going to make your brand unbeatable.<\/span><\/p>\n
