When it comes to handling artists` merchandising needs, music merchandisers do it all: even selling the merchandise directly to consumers in their own online stores, a process which was traditionally performed by record label field merchandisers going store to storeThere may be a point in time when you travel with artists to oversee the sale and stock of merchandiseAdditionally, music merchandisers sometimes provide brand consulting services for artists and organize merchandising promotions such as pop-up stores.
