  • 1.  Branded Shelter Merchandise

    Posted 11-09-2024 08:55 AM

    Hi hi!

    Do any shelters or rescues have their own branded merchandise that they sell? We are looking for some additional options that aren't bonfyre as the ROI is not as high as we'd like. Any suggestions or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

    We use the Branding Wearhouse based in St. Paul, MN and I've been quite happy with them.

    https://brandingwearhouse.com/ 

    The create a custom website for your shop that you can link to. They have hundreds of products to choose from and you can set the prices however you want. Everything is shipped directly to the consumer.

    We just transitioned from Bonfire to Printful. Printfull offers higher net margins but the catch is that you have to host the merch on your own website.

    Do you know if Printful handles the sales tax collection and distribution to the government as well?  I'm thinking of creating some branded merchandise for the cat rescue I volunteer for to help with raising funds, but I'm new to print on demand merchandise selling.

    I'm not sure if I'm answering your question but Printful will handle sales tax collection (as in they'll charge sales tax on the item) but they don't file or distritube or anything related to the government.
