Better Merch…Better Marketing: Banning Branded Merch Is Bad Marketing

In this episode of Better Merch…Better Marketing, Jade and Kirby dive into a fun and thought-provoking conversation about why banning branded merch is simply bad marketing. They kick things off with McDonald’s selling scented candles inspired by their food and break down why unexpected merch like this actually works. Kirby also shares insights from his recent trip to South Carolina and Georgia, where he spent time speaking and connecting with Jade and John. The conversation then turns to a growing trend of organizations banning branded merchandise and why that approach misses the bigger picture. When done right, merch creates connection, builds culture, and keeps your brand top of mind.
