When he checked in and he saw the shirt, he said, incredulous: \u201cbut I can\u2019t wear this t-shirt, it\u2019s way too big!\u201d Yeah kid, it\u2019s WAY too big and let\u2019s not even talk about the design of the shirt.
It\u2019s easy to see disappointment in a child and think, aw, that sucks, what a missed opportunity for this company.
Your team and fans might feel that way too. Think about how they feel when you give them clothing that:
\ud83d\ude15 doesn\u2019t fit
\ud83d\ude15 isn\u2019t their style
\ud83d\ude15 they need to wear but didn\u2019t choose
The disappointment is real.
It\u2019s easier than you think to not do this. My number one solution is to give people choice in the merch they receive (ideally from a print-on-demand merch shop that Go To Market – Custom Print-On-Demand Branded Merchandise<\/a> can set up for you). But if you can\u2019t do that, there are options.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHere’s what you can do to make exciting and inclusive merch:<\/h6>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\ude01 give unsized items
\ud83d\ude01 if you do apparel, have enough of every size
\ud83d\ude01 offer alternatives for people who aren\u2019t comfortable the style you\u2019re printing
Tell me about a time when a company gave you a shirt that was completely the wrong size or style for you!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
