OUR STORY

Built From the Ground Up

Merchismo started with a need for a better product. That mindset is what still drives how we create smarter, more intentional merch programs today.

It Started With a Problem

I’m Andy Macias. What started as a tailgate rental business quickly revealed a problem. Most pop-up tents were not built for real world conditions.

So I set out to build something better.

That idea became Gutterpy Tents, a high performance tent with a built-in gutter system designed to handle the elements. It wasn’t just a product. It was a solution built from real experience.

Then We Saw the Bigger Issue

As we helped more businesses, schools, and groups, one thing stood out: merch wasn’t the problem — its management was. Disconnected orders. Too many vendors. Constant guesswork. So we fixed it.

A Better Way to Run Merch

Today, Merchismo designs, launches, and manages branded merchandise programs for organizations that need apparel and products flowing year-round.

Instead of one-off orders, we create a structured system that combines on-demand flexibility with bulk ordering—based on what makes sense for your organization.

We Don’t Sell Products. We Build Systems.

Most companies push items from a catalog.

We build a merchandising program that works behind the scenes—so your team doesn’t have to manage vendors, inventory, or logistics.

Simple. Consistent. Scalable.

  • Schools and Athletic Programs

  • Enterprise-Level Companies and Small Businesses

  • Construction and General Contractors

Whether it starts with one group or spans your entire enterprise, we build programs that scale with you.

Merch should be easy to order, look good, and actually get used. That’s what Merchismo is built to do.
