Q&A: Building a Creator-Led Merch Brand

Earlier this year, Colin and Samir held a live Q&A on their Discord where they talked about building a merch brand as a creator. They covered the types of merch (consumables vs collectibles), the 3 signs it’s time to launch merch, and how creators are building brands and companies that scale beyond them.

Your Name, Your Brand

There’s no shortage of incredible platforms that help creators build better businesses. Places to post content, sell products, and connect with your community.

Your audience doesn’t just wander into these places aimlessly. They circle back and find you by the very first thing they notice about you: your name.

And if you sell merch? Your name is a major signal of trust.

Think about www.presspublish.store. Wouldn’t you feel more comfortable clicking (and transacting) here as opposed to on a jarring www dot official dot presspublish dot shop dot biz?

Seeing your name and “.store” in the website link instantly tells your customers that they can buy from you—transferring your credibility to your storefront URL.

A .store domain is proven to get 87% more visitors and double the visibility because it instantly shouts safe, secure shopping.*

For a limited time, secure www.yourname.store for under $1—a tiny investment with big upside. Claim your domain now to build a more credible brand in 2024.

*According to a 12-month study conducted internally by .Store.
