Some of the biggest names in MI use Focus Merchandise
OWNER JERRY Ferguson first got interested in band merchandise when working on the road as a session bass player and initially set up with this in mind. Learning the hard way that small bands have a tendency not to pay their bills, the company shifted into corporate work to fill a niche within the MI industry. “We are proud to work with
many top MI companies including Shure, Line 6 and Orange, plenty of busy UK lighting and sound rental companies and retailers such as PMT,” says the firm. Many companies working on
music tours and festivals like to reward crews with merchandise and to advertise their involvement. The various trade shows such as NAMM and Frankfurt also create a demand for marketing materials. Around 50 per cent of the business is supplying clothing with the balance being promotional items ranging from mouse-mats,

mugs and badges, through to very popular USB memory sticks. Focus supplies a large range of garments with screen-printed or embroidered logos. These days there is a massive selection available, from basic budget promotional T-shirts and fashion ranges, through to top end branded goods like The North Face, for example. Whilst Focus works with many
UK based factories, it is increasingly importing products direct from the Far East. Lead times for most items are now only three weeks and popular items include lanyards, badges, keyrings and soft PVC coasters. “We always recommend quality
goods to carry our clients’ branding and are not fans of cheap white plastic goods. We can always find alternative products that are more creative and interesting to carry your brand,” it adds. FOCUS: 01252 794029
