Fairware is a Vancouver-based provider of promotional products that sources social and environmentally responsible products.
Fairware often gets calls from non-profits wanting to get branded products ("merchandise") to sell as fundraisers. It's a great idea in theory, but like most things in life, reality can be cruel. As a result, Fairware has crafted a list of 10 things to consider before launching into a merchandise program to help smooth the bumps along the way.
These points are designed for organizations considering merchandise sales - either directed at end consumers (retail style sales) or directed at internal buyers (e.g. setting up a bulk purchasing program for your different chapters or departments).
