How to brief a merch mockup in five minutes

The six things we need to send you mockups you'll actually want to approve.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
  • Lead with the event and the audience.
  • Send vector logo files if you have them.
  • A budget range saves a round of back-and-forth.

1. The event and the date

Which show, where and when. The date sets the timeline and tells us which products are realistic.

2. Who you want to reach

One or two sentences about the people at your booth. "Hospital procurement leads" points to very different merch than "first-year students".

3. Rough quantity

A ballpark is fine. Quantity changes the price per unit and the products that make sense.

4. A budget range

Even a wide range helps us suggest the right products the first time instead of the second.

5. Your logo files

Vector files (SVG, AI, EPS or PDF) give the cleanest results. If you only have a PNG, send it anyway and we'll work with it.

6. The feel you are after

A few words or links: minimal, playful, premium, bold. Examples of merch you liked (or hated) are gold.

What happens next

We come back with free mockups showing your logo on the products, plus one clear quote. You pick a direction, we handle production and ship it to your booth. Start a brief whenever you're ready.
