Merch Calendar
Get What You Want, When You Want!
Planning ahead is the key to a successful branded merchandise campaign, and our Merchandise Calendar is here to help. This interactive, color-coded guide outlines the ideal timeline for each stage of your project—from brainstorming product ideas to placing your order, tracking production, and ensuring on-time delivery for your event. Use this as a reference to stay ahead and make informed decisions, but please note: all dates are estimates and subject to change based on product availability, production schedules, and shipping timelines. This calendar serves as a general guide to help you strategize, ensuring your branded merchandise arrives exactly when you need it.
