How this helps Organizers
Organizers have so many different projects needing their attention. This feature allows for event organizers to understand exactly how many shirts they should have made before the event is here. A good rule of thumb is if 25% of your pre-sales buy shirts ahead of time, about 25% or more of the remaining attendance will also buy once they get to the event. This method helps to give the best results when it comes to ordering the correct number of a certain type of merchandise that your audience members want without over doing it.
These companies help to give you the ability to print merchandise on demand. They help to prevent you from having to keep large amounts of inventory for pre-sales leading up to your event. These tools also may be cheaper than buying from a local print shop, if you are ordering in large quantities, such as hundreds or thousands at a time.
Conclusion

Although, while merchandise sales might seem like such a small part of your event, it has the ability to tie everything together in a big way. These souvenirs will have your fans reminiscing over your festival for years to come while also looking forward to what you have in store for the future!
