Tejas Tonic Merch Case Study

Tejas Tonic, headquartered in Dripping Springs, Texas, specializes in the creation of premium cannabis-infused beverages. The company stands out for its commitment to natural ingredients and high-quality cannabis, ensuring their products are free from synthetic additives and artificial flavors. Emphasizing the health and wellness of its customers, Tejas Tonic offers a range of beverages that cater to various dietary requirements, including sugar-free, gluten-free, and vegan options.

With a rapid growth trajectory in Texas and aspirations for international expansion, Tejas Tonic upholds sustainable and ethical production practices, reflecting its dedication to environmental responsibility and the highest standards of quality.

In their quest to further connect with and reward their expanding customer base, Tejas Tonic envisioned a line of merchandise that would resonate with the high-quality and principled ethos of their brand. The company aimed to create an array of premium merchandise, including high-quality hats, koolzies, and other apparel items, designed to appeal to their discerning audience's preferences and reflect its unwavering commitment to quality.

Prior to collaborating with merchworks, Tejas Tonic had engaged with a US-based partner for their merchandising needs. However, this partnership posed significant challenges; not only were the costs prohibitively high—nearly double what they had anticipated—but the production timelines extended beyond six months, leading to inefficiencies and delays. This experience underscored the necessity for a change in their merchandising strategy, prompting Tejas Tonic to seek a new partner who could align with their values of quality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

3. Logistics, Packaging, and Distribution

Our final touch involved efficient logistics to enhance the unboxing experience and ensure timely delivery. This comprehensive approach ensured Tejas Tonic's merchandise was impactful from design to delivery, perfectly encapsulating their premium brand essence.
