Custom Merch for Events in Memphis, TN
Merch Mob makes attendee and souvenir tees, staff, crew and security shirts, and volunteer shirts for events in Memphis, TN, at its shop in Montclair, CA, and ships them to Memphis. Memphis's 18-to-34 age group makes up 26% 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.
Memphis by the numbers
Memphis has 609,647 residents, 3% fewer than in 2020 (Census estimates).
Shelby County has 21 event promoters (performing arts, sports and similar events) with paid employees (Census County Business Patterns, 2023). That is 0.23 for every 10,000 residents, below the national figure of 0.27. 81% of them employ fewer than 10 people. The count is about where it was in 2018 (21).
That counts promoters with a payroll; one-off events run by volunteers or venues are not in it.

What Memphis's weather means for events
Winter in Memphis bottoms out at an average high of 51°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. Summer heat is a factor too: about 72 days a year reach 90°F, so midsummer daytime events need light, wicking staff shirts, caps and shade, and the biggest dates fit spring and fall better. With rain spread across all twelve months, about 55 inches of rain in a typical year, pack staff shirts and booth stock in polybags and keep cartons off the ground, so a wet load-in does not ruin them. Around 45 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. Rain is heaviest in April (about 5.9 inches), so an outdoor date that month needs a rain plan and staff shirts in a quick-drying blend.
