Adding merch to higher or new tiers encourages existing patrons to pledge up. Convincing patrons to stick around longer: Creators who use Merch for Membership keep 10-12% more of their patrons than those who don’t. Rewarding patrons with custom merch keeps them happy and pledging.
Besides, can I add merch to my Patreon later?
A welcome gift is the simplest way to add Merch to your membership. Simply publish a one-time delivery item to your tiers, and every patron will earn the item once, three months after they start their pledge. Want to update your design? You can edit it at any time without changing your patrons’ progress.
