“CREATING CUSTOM MERCHANDISE FOR CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS ACROSS AUSTRALIA”


We are a Melbourne-based duo who have worked together in museum retail for over 20 years collectively. Our extensive experience in product development and merchandising has given us an understanding of the complex elements that exist throughout the cultural sector.

Our distinction at Culture Box is providing quality over quantity. We offer clients small product runs and keep manufacturing local and within Australia wherever possible.

We value connecting people to their passion for the arts and culture. When visitors exit through the gift shop we view it as an extension of the visitor experience, carrying a strong intent to support and connect with a space they love and enjoy.

In collaboration with clients, we aim to create unique custom merchandise in support of brands and exhibitions, that will have relevance for years to come.

BENEFITS OF PRODUCING EXCLUSIVE MERCHANDISE


INCREASES REVENUE

Attached to your product is a powerful thing - exclusivity. In a world filled with remakes and knock-offs, your product exists as unique and exclusive to you which is both enticing and profitable. 

GREATER MARGINS

If you are the only retailer marketing your brand, you have pricing flexibility relative to a more competitive situation.

CUSTOMER LOYALTY

Loyalty is the ultimate in retail. A loyal relationship means a customer has an emotional attachment to your brand; and makes purpose driven, feel-good purchases.

PROMOTES YOUR INSTITUTION

What better way than to create a tangible connection and reminder of your brand. A practical or aesthetic piece of your brand which they can enjoy everyday.

GREATER BRAND AWARENESS

Providing exclusive retail content with consistent messages will help build your brand's image and reputation, reinforcing it over time. By highlighting these product attributes through social media and public relations means communicating directly to your target market.
