Bandwear Funding offers a better way to PreSale or Crowd-fund with Online Store E-Commerce, Merch/CD/Vinyl Manufacturing, and Shipments to your fans all under one umbrella.
Contact us to discuss your campaign. 877-226-3932 or sales@bandwear.com
1) Build it
Bandwear will create a unique, e-commerce online store to sell your music & merch as part of our Bandwear Superstore . You can offer any items you like as part of your crowd-funding campaign: CDs, vinyls, merch, digital downloads, experiences, bundles, etc. You promote the store to your fans and start selling! Only $9.99/month, $4.99/product to build your store!
2) Make It
You can sell existing merch and music inventory, or Bandwear can manufacturer items for. We offer over 700,000 merch items (tees, posters, hats, stickers, etc), as well as vinyl manufacturing through our HAND DRAWN PRESS VINYL division (literally the world’s most advanced vinyl facility), and CD production through our CRYSTAL CLEAR CD division. We do not have to manufacture items in order to facilitate your online store and fulfillment, however there are of course significant benefit and cost savings when this is all under one umbrella.
3) Ship It
Once your crowd-funding campaign is complete, Bandwear will warehouse your products and handle the shipment of orders to your fans. (You have WAY better things to do than stuff envelopes and lick stamps!)You set the retail price for each item and sales are split 80/20. (After 5% Bank Credit Card/Transaction Fees) For example: Item sold for $12 – you get $9.12, we keep $2.28 –However it’s important to note ALL THE EXPENSES ASSCOCIATED WITH FULLFILLMENT – Packaging, Processing, Labeling, Warehousing, Labor, etc. are covered in Bandwear’s 20%. Bandwear collects/retains the shipping/handling fees from the customer to pay for postage. (In other words, your customer pays the postage, not you!)
4) Added Benefits
- You’ll have complete access to the “back-end” of your store to view your sales, customer data, inventory, etc.
- All sales can be reported to SoundScan.
- And every Bandwear Store can be linked to the band’s Spotify and YouTube profiles giving fans easy access to the band’s merch as they stream and view.
- We’ll handle any customer service issues – bad addresses, customer exchanges, etc.
5) Promote It
There are a number of creative ways we can assist in generating sales for your store – discount coupons, up-sale items at checkout, free digital download with purchase, limited edition exclusive items, pre-sales, social media marketing to maximize traffic to the store for current fans and generate new fans, Google Pixel tracking, and more.

6) Keep Selling It
With other crowd-funding platforms, once your campaign is over there is no more opportunity to offer your music and merch to fans. But why stop selling just because the campaign is over? Your online store is already up & running so Bandwear will simply keep your products in inventory and keep selling and shipping day to day orders! In fact, simply add any previous music releases and merch items to your store and offer ALL your music and merch in one easy place for fans!
7) Start It
It’s quick and easy to get started, and in most cases we can have your store up and running in just a few days. Contact us at 877-226-3932 or sales@
