In this latest article from MusicThinkTank, Vanessa Ferrer explains how artists can used merchan and merchandise sales to connect and engage with their fans.
"Along the same lines of asking fans what items they’d like to see, another good way to engage them with merch is asking them to actually help you select the art – either by submitting something or by choosing from some designs you put out there.
