Most business owners who want custom merch do not want a second job managing an online store. Done-For-You merch solves that by handing the entire build to a real person instead of a set of DIY tools. At Bear Grips Pro Shops, the Done-For-You VIP plan is $105 a month. You send one design or logo, and a personal Pro Shop advisor takes it from there: product selection, mockups, copywriting, pricing, and layout. This post walks through exactly what that process looks like from the first design upload to a live shop.
The phrase gets used loosely across the internet for everything from dropshipping templates to generic store themes you install yourself. Ours is different: a named advisor you can call, text, or email builds your shop by hand each month. You are not handed a template and a to-do list. You send one design, and the advisor does the setup work that would otherwise take hours of trial and error inside a self-service dashboard.
Once your advisor has the file, the build runs in a set sequence:
You can also see the full breakdown of which products land in the 15-item lineup most often.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.| Plan | Price | Live products | Who builds the shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 3 | You, higher base price per item |
| Self-Service VIP | $59/mo | 200 | You, lowest base prices, full control |
| Done-For-You VIP | $105/mo | 250 | A personal advisor builds it monthly |
The gap between Self-Service VIP and Done-For-You VIP is not the product catalog, it is the labor. Self-Service gives you the tools. Done-For-You gives you the finished shop plus a person to call when something needs to change.
One of the quieter benefits of Done-For-You is timing. Cold-weather gear gets curated into the shop ahead of winter, warm-weather pieces surface in spring and summer, and the 15-product lineup rotates so the shop always looks current instead of static. Most business owners running their own store forget to do this until a customer asks why there are no hoodies in the collection in November. The advisor handles that calendar for you, along with the social media link preview (the image and text that shows up when your shop link is shared on social) so the shop looks finished the moment someone clicks through.
Strip away the marketing language and Done-For-You VIP is paying for time. A vendor who builds their own shop on Self-Service VIP might spend 3 to 5 hours a month on product selection, mockup review, and copywriting, plus more time researching what to price things at. Done-For-You collapses that into one design upload and a monthly call, text, or email with your advisor. For a business owner already running a gym, a studio, or a company, that time is worth more than the $46 gap between the two VIP plans.

Done-For-You VIP: $105/mo, a personal advisor, 15 trending products with front and back mockups on every color, and pricing set from real sales data.
Start FreeOnce a month. Your advisor applies that design across the 15-product lineup and rebuilds the shop around it.
Either. You can choose your own top 15 collection, or let your advisor pick the trending best-sellers for that month.
No. The $105 monthly plan covers the mockups, copywriting, pricing, and layout work every month.
Yes. Done-For-You VIP includes a personal Pro Shop advisor you can reach by call, text, or email, which is the core difference from the self-service tiers.
