Custom Sweatbands – Band Merch

custom-band-merch

Custom band merch is a great way to get your bands name and music out to the public. If your at a show there will always be at least 1 person, if not 100 or 1000 that is into your music. Wouldn’t it be nice to get this person some gear with your bands name on it? Custom sweatbands are what we believe to be the most affordable and the most profitable option for custom band merchandise.

Customized sweatbands work great as promotional items. The right custom promo items are hard to come by, especially when there are thousands of things to choose from. The best thing about custom sweatbands is that ONE SIZE FITS ALL. When ordering you don’t have to worry about small, medium, and large.

Fall Out Boy And 50 Cent On Tour

50-cent-fall-out-boy-tour

This is pretty amazing, reminds of of the good ole Aerosmith / Run DMC days. The best part about 50 Cent and Fall Out Boy playing shows is going to be the diverse crowd. So often we go to shows and we look around and see the same people, this will be a chance for  diverse audience to come together and enjoy both types of music – Hip Hop and Pop/Punk. 50 Cent asked Fall Out Boy if they wanted to do some shows this month – He came up with the idea, and we were like, ‘Yeah. Totally. Yeah. Why not?,” front man Patrick Stump said.  Fall out boy has been on tour with Paul Wall, so this is not too new to them. However, 50 Cent has never toured with a rock group before. Some Fall Out Boy fans are pretty disgusted with the whole idea of it, but why? I guarantee you all those Fall Out Boy fans will walk out new 50 Cent fans.

We don’t have exact dates yet but news tells us that 50 Cents first tour date with Fall Out Boy is scheduled to be April 14 at Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, CO.

Custom Band Merch – Sweatbands

Custom sweatbands for your band

Looking for a cool product to help your band make money? Look no further, SerTop is making sweatbands for bands around the world to help them promote their music to the max. The difference between a sweatband and t shirt when it comes to custom band merch is HUGE. Let me explain myself…

Sweatbands vs t shirts

Alright, your at your show promoting your stuff at your merch table, you have your t shirts priced at $15-$20 and your sweatbands priced at $10. When someone buys your t shirt they are not going to put it on right there, but when someone buys your sweatband they are. This is a huge difference, because now that person is your bands walking model, and everyone is buying sweatbands at the show! Also, the cost is a lot cheaper when it comes to buying sweatbands and the profit is a lot more. Take it from a company who has sold a lot of sweatbands at warped tour, we know our stuff.

Sweatbands to promote your band

So yeah, you can sell your sweatbands, but you can also give them out with your website or myspace on them. This is how some of our biggest clients become well known in their areas. They’ll play a huge show and throw out 100 sweatbands with a cool logo and a website on the back. Not only does the person who received the sweatbands wear it out, they also have direct access to your myspace, which is HUGE! Now they can view your photos, videos, and your up coming shows (which they’ll bring there friends to!).

Selling sweatbands with your bands logo

Obama Cross Marketing

Well, when you order 100 sweatbands you are making 60% profit if you sell them for $10 (which is recommended ) That means $6 off every wrist  sweatband, aka $600 total profit. When you buy 1000 you will be making an 80% profit which will get you a total of $8,000.

So, how much are you paying for t shirts again? And, how much are you selling them for?

The best part about sweatbands

The best part is you don’t have to worry about how the sweatband will fit! One size fits all, no more awkward fitting t shirts. Just slip that baby on and boom your good to go.

SerTop is a professional company. We specialize in sweatbands for your wrist, arm, and head. Before you even order the product you will know exactly how it will look, unlike other company’s which have you in cold sweats until the product arrives. SerTop sweatbands is the best choice when it comes to custom band merch.

Get started on your Wrist sweatbands!

Axl Rose Interview

When talking to Billboard about a possible reunion between himself and Slash, Axl said the following:

In regards to Slash, I read a desperate fan’s message about, what if one of us were to die and looking back I had the possibility of a reunion now, blah blah blah. And my thoughts are, “Yeah, and while you’re at the show your baby accidentally kicks a candle and burns your house down, killing himself and the rest of your family.”

Give me a fucking break. What’s clear is that one of the two of us will die before a reunion and however sad, ugly or unfortunate anyone views it, it is how it is. Those decisions were made a long time ago and reiterated year after year by one man.

Read the full interview here. This is his first interview in 9 years! CLICK IT!
