Grizzly Mouse was founded by Beth Hommel, who started out slinging t-shirts on tour and still loves being on the road. From there, she worked her way up to running a DIY merch company for indie artist Amanda Palmer (of The Dresden Dolls) which processed more than a thousand orders per month from a humble Brooklyn loft. Through Grizzly Mouse, Beth is now bringing her innovative, unique talent for merch to musicians, theatre companies, webcomic artists and all others who want to create and market exciting items to their fanbases.
From the extreme DIY of printing t-shirts for your band in your studio apartment to creating pricey packages for a full album release, Grizzly Mouse is here to help you make the right choices for your work, your fanbase and your wallet. From fanbase and sales analysis to recommending vendors and placing orders, Grizzly Mouse knows the ins and outs of merchandising like no one else does.
We’ll help you figure out where you fit on the DIY or “please do it for me” spectrum. (They’re both okay! Do not feel guilty if you’re not the sort to draw every single one of your posters by hand. All the indie screenprinters in the world depend on you to pay their rent.) For those in the DIY boat, we’ll work together to come up with new ideas that will entice your fans that you can execute efficiently. For everyone else, we create plans that let you be as involved (or not) as you’d like to be.
Grizzly Mouse has a trusted network of graphic designers, artists, printers, manufacturers and merch managers to help make your next album release, tour or product launch a huge success.
