When you’re fundraising, every penny counts, and so does every minute of your time.
Whether you’re running a school event, a local club, a charity campaign or a community initiative, merch can be a brilliant way to raise money and bring people together. But traditionally, it’s also meant up-front costs, stock management, and chasing orders, not ideal when you’ve got a million other things to do.
That’s where Merchr comes in.
With Merchr, you can create and sell custom merch with zero risk. No inventory, no printing or packing, just a free online store that’s ready when you are.
Here’s how it works and why it’s perfect for fundraising.
🛍️ No Stock, No Upfront Costs
You don’t need to invest in boxes of hoodies or mugs upfront. You don’t even need to guess sizes or hope people will collect their order.
With Merchr, your supporters can order exactly what they want, directly through your store. We’ll take care of:
-
Printing
-
Packing
-
Shipping
You just share the link. That’s it.
💡 Perfect for:
-
Schools & PTAs
-
Sports teams & societies
-
Student councils & leavers groups
-
Charities & community causes
🎨 Create Meaningful Designs
The most successful fundraising merch tells a story. It reminds people of who they’re supporting and why.
Think:
-
School logos and class names for leavers’ hoodies
-
Team slogans or mascots for club gear
-
Event names, dates, or quotes that connect to your cause
-
Art created by students, volunteers, or your own community
You don’t need a professional designer. A simple message, school crest, or even a bold phrase like “In This Together” can go a long way.
🧠 Tip: Add a line to your design or description like:
“Profits from this collection go directly to [your cause].”
It builds trust and shows people exactly what their purchase supports.
🧩 Keep It Simple
Start with a small product range think 3 to 5 items. Some of the bestsellers for fundraisers include:
-
T-shirts & hoodies
-
Mugs & water bottles
-
Tote bags
Pick things that are useful, giftable, and easy to wear or carry.
Set a clear time frame like “Order by June 1st” to encourage urgency and keep your campaign focused.
🧠 Promotion tips:
-
Share your store link in school newsletters or parent groups
-
Add it to your email signature or Instagram bio
-
Post weekly updates on how close you are to your fundraising goal
💸 100% Flexible and Impact-Driven
You can choose how your profits are used:
-
Put it toward a school trip
-
Fund equipment or supplies
-
Support a local charity
-
Or just raise awareness for your cause
No pressure, no logistics just impact.
