ABOUT US

Showtech Merchandising Inc. is a full-service designer, distributor, and retailer of licensed apparel and accessories. Established as Showtime Marketing Inc. 35 years ago, this Canadian-based firm has represented numerous artists, including Rush and The Trailer Park Boys.

Showtech's employees have extensive experience within the merchandising industry, including graphic design, web design, IT, screenprinting, embroidery, vending, and touring.  The close-knit team works together for the entire life of each product, from concept to customer.  Our pride comes from the satisfaction of our clients.

 DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

Showtech's creative team builds complete product lines from the ground up.  Each of our artists have specific experience in various fields, whether it be screenprinting, pattern-making, offset printing, etc and they use these talents to create unique pieces for our artists.  Together with our sourcing department, we deliver high-impact products that can be offered to customers for reasonable prices.  The strength of the team is what makes the final products shine.

 EVENT SALES

When our artists hit the road, we hit the road with them.  Our Road Merchandise Managers are experienced and quick on their feet to handle any of the many challenges that live event sales can present them with.  Our artists can feel relaxed in knowing that their merchandising is being handled professionally.  Whether it is a 20,000 seat arena, a 1,000 seat theater, or a standing-room-only dive bar, our reps are there to deliver the highest merchandise sales possible.

 RETAIL & LICENSING

Showtech has long standing relationships with retailers and licensees to place product in traditional retail stores.  At the mass market level right on to independants, we have merchandise ranging from belt buckles to bobbleheads, calendars to caps, and tees to thongs in shops around the World.  Consistent attention to the retail & license roster ensures that this stream of income is maximized for our artists.  When we have our eyes on the retail shops of the World, it also makes us able to vigorously protect the integrity and intellectual rights of our artists.

 WEB STORES

Showtech has been selling online merchandise to fans since the infancy of the internet.  We customize our web stores to integrate with the artists' existing website and image.  Our e-commerce platform can handle massive amounts of simultaneous order processing and traffic, and has the highest level of security encryption for customers.  To go along with a great online shopping experience, is the comfort of a toll-free phone line for questions or concerns.  Our office staff have tremendous knowledge of the products we sell and are more than happy to help customers make their decisions.
