Merchandising with Ben Rix

from £100.00

Draw on Ben’s experience with developing and procurring merchandise for your brand.

Ben helps food and beverage businesses develop merchandise that feels intentional, on-brand, and commercially sensible — not like an afterthought or a logo placed on a blank product.

Merchandising is approached as an extension of the wider brand, ensuring that anything produced reflects the identity, tone, and positioning of the business. Whether merchandise is being created for festivals, retail, staff use, or brand-building, the focus is on designing items that people actually want to wear, use, or keep.

Support covers both creative direction and practical decision-making, helping founders understand what makes sense for their audience, format, and stage of business. This includes guidance on what products to produce, how they should look and feel, and how they fit into the wider brand world.

Typical areas of support include merchandise concept development, visual direction, product selection, artwork preparation, and advice on formats, finishes, and applications. Where needed, Ben also helps ensure merchandise aligns with packaging, signage, and other physical brand elements, creating a cohesive and considered presence across all touchpoints.

This service is well suited to businesses trading at festivals and events, launching new concepts, or looking to strengthen brand presence beyond food alone — without producing merchandise that feels forced, generic, or disconnected from the core offer.

Design + production-ready artwork, excluding print costs

  • T-shirts: £250 per design (Turnaround 2 weeks)

  • Hats: £150 per design (Turnaround 1 week)

  • Aprons: £100 per design (Turnaround 1 week)

Merch strategy is available under Brand World (brand development package).

Merchandising production is accessed on a case by case basis.
