Your artist has fans in every city, but the merch store feels like a back‑alley table: scattered inventory, slow mobile load times, and zero insight into who’s buying. Meanwhile, the fan data lived solely in the label’s systems, but without direct access, the team was guessing and leaving revenue on the table.
Sound familiar? It was the exact bind this management team faced before they overhauled their online strategy.
| Pain Point | Why It Cost Real Money |
|---|---|
| Data Locked at the Label | No direct line to superfans → Upsell revenue left on the table each quarter. |
| Patch‑Work Tech Stack | Disconnected apps = constant sync errors & hours of manual fixes. |
| No Lifecycle Reporting | Couldn’t prove whether email, SMS, or ads drove a single T‑shirt sale. |
