Custom Merch for Events in Charlotte, NC
Merch Mob makes attendee and souvenir tees, staff, crew and security shirts, and volunteer shirts for events in Charlotte, NC, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Charlotte. Charlotte's 18-to-34 age group makes up 28% of residents, above the US rate of 23% (Census ACS, 2020-2024), so attendee merch should look like something worth wearing again, with the poster art front and center.
Charlotte by the numbers
Charlotte has grown to 964,784 residents, up 10.3% since 2020 (Census estimates).
Mecklenburg County has 49 event promoters (performing arts, sports and similar events) with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023). That is 0.40 for every 10,000 residents, above the national figure of 0.27. 84% of them employ fewer than 10 people. The count is up 9% from 45 in 2018.

What Charlotte's weather means for events
Winter in Charlotte bottoms out at an average high of 52°F in January, so cold-season events need hoodies and long sleeves on the table, and staff need a layer once the sun goes down. Tee-heavy booth stock and lightweight staff shirts fit Charlotte's 7 warm months, April to October, when average highs reach 70°F or more. Order fleece for fall events so it arrives before November, the month average highs fall below 65°F, and put staff in long sleeves for early load-ins from then on. Around 58 nights a year fall to 32°F or below, so an early-morning race or a late show in the cool months calls for warm staff layers and hoodies within reach at the booth. August brings the year's heaviest rain, about 4.4 inches, so an outdoor date that month needs tents on standby and a backup day.
