“Merch has always been about showing love for your favorite artist, but Jellybean is making it a two-way relationship,” says Natalie Rebot, Co-Founder and Creative Director of Jellybean. “It’s not just about owning the product anymore; it’s about unlocking moments you can’t get anywhere else.”

The future of merchandise is going to be this—because fans will expect more from the products they buy from their favorite artists or brands. Now, there is a way to reward those fans who are the most engaged, giving them access to exclusive content, experiences, and rewards that make them feel truly connected to the artists and brands they love.

With Jellybean leading the charge, the future of fan engagement is here, and it’s as simple as a tap or scan.
