Knowing where to buy is just the first step. And at this point in your journey you’ve probably received tons of recommendations on shirt sellers to try. But it’s not just about knowing where to buy stuff. You also need to do a little bit of checking to see if the shirts are of any quality at all. There are millions of shirt sellers out there who would go out of their way to infiltrate a fandom only to scam them. Make sure to buy from stores that have good reputation and offer high quality tees. For your convenience also make sure if they’re accessible. If they’re online make sure they can ship to your place and offer various payment methods.

3. Support a cause

So many TV shows are all out advocating for a cause. If you want to support them, you can also do so by supporting their advocacies. Just like how the series 13 Reasons Why advocates for mental health awareness, you can start with groups associated with them, and help them in any way you can.

4. Support your friends

If you have friends who are in the merchandising business, you can tap them by creating a line specifically for TV show fans. Show your creativity and start creating shirts and merch items about the many notable lines from your favorite TV show. Not only will it help your friend’s business flourish, it will also incite creativity and entrepreneurship.

5. Wear it proud

Supporting your favorite television show isn’t just about buying statement shirts of their funniest lines. It’s also about wearing them loud and proud wherever you go. Don’t be afraid to go out with a statement you think nobody will get. It’s a win-win for meeting new people. Either you bump into fellow fans, or have a conversation starter with someone. Even if the show has long ended, it doesn’t make your shirt any less valid!
