Bear Grips Pro ShopsCustom Merch Services: What a Done-For-You Setup Actually Includes
- A custom merch service can mean anything from a basic print vendor to a fully managed shop.
- The Done-For-You VIP tier includes product selection, mockups, copywriting, pricing, and layout, not just printing.
- A personal advisor you can call, text, or email is the core difference from a self-service tool.
- Every deliverable repeats monthly, so the shop stays current without you managing it.
The term "custom merch company" covers a wide range of businesses, from a single print shop that takes your file and mails back a box of shirts, to a full platform that builds and runs an ongoing online store for you. Knowing which category you are looking at before you sign up saves a lot of frustration. Here is exactly what is included in the Done-For-You VIP tier at Bear Grips Pro Shops, deliverable by deliverable.
A personal advisor, not a support ticket queue
Every Done-For-You VIP vendor gets a personal Pro Shop advisor reachable by call, text, or email. That is different from a generic support inbox: the same person handles your shop build month to month and already knows your brand, your product picks, and your past decisions.
Product selection and mockup production
Your one design a month gets applied to 15 trending products, either your own picks or our curated best-sellers. Front and back mockups are created on every color variant of every item, running into the hundreds of individual images behind a single monthly refresh. Your advisor then narrows each product to its top 6 colors for the strongest shelf appeal.

Product titles, descriptions, and metadata are written professionally for every item, which most vendors skip or rush when building a shop themselves. The full shop layout gets built around that content: header, logo placement, sections, and product categories organized so the storefront reads clean instead of like a raw product dump.
Pricing and social preview setup
Retail pricing is set on every product using real sales data, aimed at the mix of volume and profit that performs best rather than a flat guess. Social media link previews (the image and headline shown when your shop link is shared) are configured with your logo so the shop looks finished the moment it is shared anywhere. See the full plan overview for how all of this repeats every month.
What is not included and stays with you
You still choose and send the design itself each month (or approve the direction with your advisor), and you decide where to promote the shop link. The service builds and maintains the store; it does not run your marketing for you. Pair the shop with your own audience, whether that is a customer base, member list, or social following, to drive traffic to it.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Is printing included in the $105/mo price?
The plan fee covers the shop build (mockups, copy, pricing, layout). Printing is billed per order at the VIP base price when a customer buys.
What if I want to change my product lineup mid-month?
You can reach your advisor directly by call, text, or email to request changes.
Do I get the finished mockup images to use in my own marketing?
Yes, the mockups live on your product pages and can be used to promote the shop elsewhere.
How is this different from Self-Service VIP?
Self-Service VIP gives you the same 200-product catalog and low base pricing, but you do the product selection, mockup review, copy, and pricing yourself.
