Swag That Slaps: Inside Our Merch Lab đź’Ą

By Amanda Hofman, Chief Swag Officer and Branded Merchandise Expert

Some branded merch doesn’t just sit in a drawer—it sparks conversations.

We created this drop for our client Femina Physical Therapy, a women’s health brand that’s smart, cheeky, and completely unafraid to talk about what others won’t.

This isn’t your average giveaway tee.


This merch shows up at Pilates, pops up in Instagram stories, and gets mentioned in five conversations before lunch.

The Vibe Check: Empowered, Unfiltered, and Unapologetic

The Femina Physical Therapy collection blends clinical credibility with cultural confidence.

The standout piece?
A tank top that proudly declares:

“Hot girls do pelvic floor therapy.”

It’s bold, funny, and deeply affirming—because taking care of yourself is hot. 🔥

That’s what makes this custom branded apparel so powerful. It’s not just something to wear—it’s something to say.

The Branding Lesson: Turn Taboo into a Talking Point

Here’s the move every marketer should steal:
đź’ˇ Turn vulnerability into voice.
đź’ˇ Take the taboo and make it talkable.
đź’ˇ Blend purpose with personality.

The best branded merchandise doesn’t feel like marketing—it feels like belonging.

When your merch has a message, it becomes more than swag. It becomes a movement.

Make Merch That Starts Conversations

Want company swag people actually love (and wear)?
Design it around what your audience cares about, not just what your brand sells.

Give your people something they’re proud to wear—and can’t wait to talk about.

👉 Be honest—if you saw someone wearing this tank, would you ask where she got it? Would you strike up a conversation?

(🙌🏻 Huge shoutout to Femina’s founder, Heather Jeffcoat, PT, DPT, for leading with authenticity and confidence.)

The Takeaway

The next time you plan your branded merch drop, think beyond logos and slogans. Think about emotion, connection, and courage.

Because the best swag doesn’t just advertise—it empowers.
