You can have the coolest band Eminem Merch in the world, but what's the use of having it if you can't sell it? Follow these tips and your merch will be flying off the table in no time!

Venues/Clubs/Bars are dark areas. Having a light on your table helps to attract attention and makes people want to check out what you are offering.

Get creative with how you present your merch. One of the coolest setups we have ever seen was for the acoustic band, The Apathy Eulogy. They set their merch up in vintage suitcases. It gave their merch an indie, almost bohemian feel, which tied in nicely with their music.

Instead of selling your CDs, stickers, t-shirts, etc. individually, try bundling them together for a small discount. For example, if you sell your CD for $10 and t-shirt for $15, offer both for $20. This will cause your fans to purchase more than they might normally.

While you are still on stage and have everyone's attention, don't forget to mention your merch. Also, tell people that you are going to be at your merch table right after you get off stage so they know where to find you.

When you get off the stage, fans always want to talk to you. Instead of meeting your fans at the front of the stage, go back to your merch table. Talk to your fans there. This increases the chance of making a sale. Usually, there is a rush to get your equipment off the stage before the next band starts. Before you go on stage, designate a few band members to be responsible for the equipment. This will allow at least one person in the band to head directly to the merch table.

Let's face it: We are almost a cashless society. Don't lose out on sales just because you only accept cash. There are a lot of apps out there right now that allow you to process credit/debit card transactions right through your phone. If you do not have a smart phone, another option is to just use a laptop where wifi is available and run transactions through a PayPal account.
