Merchandise sales are no longer just a post-victory spike in the stadium shop. They’ve become a year-round, global revenue stream – one that lives and thrives online.
As e-commerce has transformed retail, it’s also changed the game for sports organizations. Whether it’s jerseys, limited-edition drops, or event-themed collections, today’s fans expect seamless access to official merch – wherever they are, on whatever device they’re using.
For rights holders, this means that merchandising is no longer a side hustle. It’s a strategic channel that requires the same attention to UX, localisation, and backend integration as any digital platform. The smoother the shopping experience, the more likely fans are to convert – and return.
Smart merchandising strategies in sport now include:
Optimised mobile-first retail experiences
Localised content, currency, and shipping
Integrated promotions and dynamic pricing
Connected ecosystems that link content, ticketing, and commerce
And beyond just revenue, merchandising offers a unique way to deepen fan loyalty – turning moments into memories, and memories into something fans can wear, gift, or collect.
