I was recently looking into merchandise for tour operators. We’ve all seen merch being offered as an add-on to a tour, and some really don't hit the mark.
No, I don't want a postcard with your giant logo, but a fridge magnet with your excellent destination and your little logo in the corner, absolutely.
As someone running food tours, I lean towards edible goodies, but then that's short-term with no trigger memory later. In comparison, metal re-usable straws would fit my ethos and have a long-term attachment value.
Is anyone doing this? and if so, what do you offer? How are you selling it (through your website, end of the tour etc.)? Are you using something like Shopify to manage your inventory?
I really appreciate any help you can provide 💜

Hey Jessica, thanks for sharing Guess Where Trips with the Travel Massive community. What a great idea to bring visitors to new destinations!
I can imagine that the anticipation of going on a mystery road trip would also be an exciting lead up to the adventure — have any of your customers explored every trip?
Yes! We've had quite a few that have explored all the trips offered within their area.
That is actually quite a neat idea. Well done
Guess Where Trips started a few years ago and have evolved SO much. We're now across Canada and hope to be in the states very soon! Let me know if anyone has any good day trip suggestions for surprise road trips.
This is a great idea! What would be the first destinations in the US? Are you looking for any local hosts or partners?
