I think I am not the only one who finds the inZOI merch the company has been putting out as prizes for several contests very charming. I’ve talked to other players who loved the merch and wished there was a way of acquiring it besides contest prizes.
That’s why I believe adding a merch store would be a great way to engage the player community, attract content creators and get some profit while atill in early access.
Engaging with the playerbase
Seriously, a lot of us already love this game and have a passion for it that has led me and others to even learn how to make cc and mods. I would be happy to be able to express my passion for the game through merch, and I think the same applies to many other players.
Merch is also a form of publicity. When someone is wearing a t-shirt with inZOI motives, or carries and inZOI keychain, it might attract the curiosity of like minded people.
Attracting content creators
Once the merch store is set up, referal codes could be given to certain content creators. If it’s not profitable to give it to every content creator in the partner program, which is understandable, there could be certain parameters like monthlu engagement, or number of followers, to help decide who gets their own code.
When using the code, user would get a small discount while the content creator would get a percentage of profit.
Making profit
I think a merch store would be a great way to boost the finances of the project while the game is still in early access.
Some ideas for merch:
-
Mousepads
Tumbrls
Mugs
Pyscat keychains
Hats
T-Shirts
Pajamas
Socks
What do you think? Would you buy merch? What merch would you like to see?
