Merch Mistakes You're Probably Making | The Do’s and Don’ts of Branded Merch
Many think of merchandise as just a fun extra—but for Victoria, that perspective changed when she realized how low-quality merch can actually cheapen your brand. Picture attending an event and getting a trucker hat that perfectly reflects a brand’s vibe. You wear it everywhere—not because you have to, but because it fits your style and values. That’s the power of intentional, well-designed branded merchandise.
In this episode, Victoria shares her journey from underestimating merch to embracing it as a powerful branding tool. She breaks down how high-quality promotional products that align with your audience’s lifestyle can strengthen brand recognition and build emotional connection.
Victoria also tackles the all-too-common issue of cheap branded items—like flimsy tote bags or boxy t-shirts—that end up in the junk drawer. Instead, she offers smart strategies for creating practical, visually appealing merchandise that reflects your brand identity and keeps you top of mind.
Whether you're an entrepreneur or small business owner, this episode delivers actionable tips to elevate your brand through thoughtful merchandise. Tune in and learn how to make your merch as bold and intentional as your brand.
