Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Lorrie Griggs. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Lorrie, so great to have you with us and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with the community. So, let’s jump into something that stops so many people from going after their dreams – haters, nay-sayers, etc. We’d love to hear about how you dealt with that and persisted on your path.
I trust the people that show positivity in what I am doing. Trusting positive people can truly uplift your spirits and create an atmosphere of happiness and success. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals can lead to incredible opportunities and amazing experiences.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
When creating Drifter Merch, my late husband and I turned our passion for live music into a thriving merchandising company. What started with just three designs has now expanded to over 60, available on our website, Etsy, Amazon, and at shows. Our creations are deeply inspired by the bands we adore and have had the pleasure of following extensively. From the legendary sounds of Widespread Panic, Phish, Billy Strings and the Grateful Dead to the soulful tunes of the Allman Brothers, Neil Young, and Willie Nelson, these artists have left an indelible mark on our lives and our merchandise reflects that connection.
Drifter Merch doesn’t stop at offering pre-designed merchandise. Our company also specializes in custom printing and embroidery services, catering to businesses, bands, schools, festivals and other events. Whether clients are looking to create personalized merchandise for promotional purposes or seeking unique merchandise for your band’s tour, our skilled team can bring a vision to life with exceptional quality and attention to detail. Drifter Merch takes prides in its commitment to excellence, ensuring that every product meets the highest standards. From the design phase to production and delivery, customer satisfaction is a top priority with a desire to exceed expectations at every step of the process.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
When you keep pushing forward, stay determined, and never lose sight of your goals, you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to. Stay positive and keep just going.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
We are always looking for business owners, bands, schools, and festivals to connect with since we provide custom graphic design, printing and embroidery services. Our creative team can design and print or embroider almost anything on t-shirts, tank tops, hats, hoodies, patches, blankets, koozies, stickers, house flags, aprons, commercial tents, event flags, advertising signage, tablecloths, and more. Drifter Merch offers competitive wholesale pricing for bulk custom orders, ensuring that customers receive exceptional value for their investment. Our clients, both past and present, range from Google, SalesForce and Moe’s Original BBQ to Dickey Betts Band, Blue Dogs and Southern Flavor Magazine.
