Which Products Work Best for a Done-For-You Merch Drop

A common question from new Done-For-You vendors is which of the 63 products in the Bear Grips catalog actually belong in a 15-item monthly lineup. The honest answer is it depends on your audience, but there is a reliable pattern that covers most businesses: a core of everyday tees, one or two premium upgrades, a hoodie tier, and one or two accessories. Here is how the lineup typically breaks down and how the color and mockup process works behind it.

The core lineup that covers most businesses

• Everyday tees (3-4 spots): Airlume Cotton Tee ($19.88 base), Premium Cotton Crew Tee ($23.88), Women's Favorite Tee ($19.88)
• Premium tier (2-3 spots): Triblend Crew Tee, Premium Cotton V-Neck ($23.88)
• Hoodies and crewnecks (3-4 spots): Comfort Soft Hoodie ($36.88), Perfect Soft Crewneck Sweatshirt ($34.88), Champion Performance Hoodie ($45.88)
• Tanks (1-2 spots): Performance Workout Tank, Ladies Racerback Tank
• Accessories (2-3 spots): Classic Rope Hat, Mesh Snapback, Cuffed Winter Hat (seasonal)

That fills 11-15 spots depending on how many tee variations you want. See the full pricing on every item in our pricing breakdown.

Why every color gets a mockup, not just the "main" one

Most self-built shops show a design on one color and let the customer imagine it on the rest. Done-For-You VIP creates a front and back mockup on every color variant of every product, which is why a single monthly refresh across 15 products can generate hundreds of individual images. A shopper deciding between black and forest green on a hoodie can actually see both instead of guessing.

How the top 6 colors get chosen per item

Most blanks come in 15 to 20 color options from the manufacturer. Offering all of them slows a shopper down and dilutes which colors actually convert. Your advisor narrows each item to its top 6 color variants for maximum appeal, based on what tends to sell across similar shops, not a random guess. If your brand has a specific color requirement (a team color, a logo-matched shade), you can flag that directly with your advisor.

How the lineup rotates with the seasons

The 15-product lineup is not static. Cold-weather pieces (hoodies, joggers, cuffed beanies) get curated into the shop ahead of winter, and warm-weather pieces (tanks, shorts, lighter tees) surface for spring and summer. This keeps the shop looking current without you having to think about seasonal timing yourself. Read the full Done-For-You VIP overview for how the monthly build cycle works end to end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I request specific products for my lineup?

Yes. You can choose your own top 15 collection, or let your advisor pick the trending best-sellers for that month.

How many colors does each product actually offer at checkout?

Your advisor curates each item down to its top 6 colors, chosen for the strongest visual appeal and sales performance.

Does the lineup change every single month?

It can. Seasonal shifts happen a few times a year, and you can request specific swaps with your advisor any time.

What if I only want a small, fixed lineup instead of a rotation?

That is fine. You can ask your advisor to keep a fixed core lineup and skip the seasonal rotation if that fits your brand better.
