A med spa grand opening earns its budget when the launch impression carries into the next 60 days of social posts and word-of-mouth. Branded staff polos for opening day, founder-100 hoodies for the first hundred patients, lifestyle hats for the ribbon-cutting crowd, and limited-edition launch tees for walk-in event attendees: each piece extends the launch into a month of brand visibility. Below is the full opening-week merch plan, the order timing, and the per-piece pricing.

Why limited-edition opening pieces matter
A founder-100 hoodie with the opening date embroidered on the sleeve is a piece the patient keeps for the next decade. Every time she wears it, she signals to her network that she was one of the first patients at your spa. Limited-edition opening merch is the highest-leverage marketing spend in the first year because the perceived scarcity makes it durable in the patient memory and visible to her network.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should the grand opening merch order go in?
Order 2 to 3 weeks before opening day so pieces arrive at least 1 week ahead for sorting and pre-bagging.
Can the opening date embroider into the founder-100 hoodie?
Yes. Sleeve embroidery with the opening date is included per piece at no extra setup fee.
Is there a minimum on the founder-100 hoodie run?
No. Start with 30 hoodies for a soft opening or scale to 200 for a heavily marketed grand opening at the same per-piece price.
What if the opening date shifts and the merch is already printed?
The branded piece is dated only if you ask for the date embroidery. Generic branded pieces stay usable across any opening date.
