Book Merch
Made Easy
Have you been wanting to set up a merch shop, but don’t know where to start?
Starting a merch store can seem like a daunting task. But it doesn’t have to be. And it doesn’t have to involve boxes of products taking over your office.
Instead, we will work together to come up with designs, choose a print-on-demand printer and the products you want to offer, and even get your store set up. And you never have to worry about printing or shipping anything. But your readers will love being able to wear or carry something that reflects their favorite books.
The Process
1 | Inquire
Fill out the inquiry form to let me know what merch package you are interested in.
2 | Discovery Call
We will schedule a Discovery call and discuss what merch package you are interested in and what you hope to get out of having merch and working together.
3 | Brainstorming Call
If we choose to work together, we will schedule a Brainstorming call, where we will discuss all the design ideas we both have and narrow it down to the design(s) you want to start with.
4 | Proposal
After the Brainstorming call, I will put together a proposal for the project that will break down the designs, the timeline, and pricing.

Raye is easy to work with, has great ideas and works to keep things fresh so readers have new things to purchase on a regular basis. Raye is great to engage my readers to find out what their interests are as we consider new products. She has saved me much time and many headaches.

Testimonials
Raye is the best and one of the easiest people I've ever worked with.
She not only made a new endeavor painless, but also fun... well, except for having to choose between all the awesome designs she'll present you with!

I absolutely loved working with Raye!
I loved that she had a contract with dates that clearly laid out the expectations on both sides. Whenever I had revision requests, Raye took care of those in a timely manner and presented adjusted designs that completely and beautifully incorporated the revisions I requested. She did an incredible job with the designs and with being professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting merch.
