Merchandise and Marketing the b(r)and

If you were able to make my show at The Comet, you would have seen my most recent marketing idea in action: Magnets. I can't really afford to give them out for free like I can the occasional CD because in order for these to sell I have to price them at a loss. I'm working on lowering the production costs a bit with face and hair molds. If they turn out to be slow sellers I'll move the inventory to my Etsy shop.
Speaking of Etsy, I really need to list a bunch of new stuff. I'll be the first person to admit my jewelry design needs work, but stranger things have sold there.
Back to the marketing, though: I'm still coming up with more extras for the merchandise table. T-shirts are too obvious -- or are they? I like the folding can cozy screenprinted with the band logo idea, too.
In other news, I have sent enough disks as promo and sold enough that it looks like I'll need to order more soon.
