Harry and the Potters is one band that’s definitely on top of their merch game. We’ve featured them a few times already on the blog, and each time we’re pleasantly surprised by the high-quality products they have available for their fans. Well, here’s another example of some fine music merch. This promotional foam finger is something you expect at sporting events, not concerts. It definitely adds to the party atmosphere and allows the band to stand out – at least the merch table does, anyway.

Simon dTOUR Live, which was coordinated by Simon Brand Ventures, a brand of Simon Property Group, Inc., was a series of teen targeted mall tours that ran from mid-June to August that featured both upcoming and established musical acts. Teens not only enjoyed their favorite musicians but they also could have fun participating in the various interactive events, learn about the latest technology and fashion etc. Free music promotional items were being given out by the concerts’ sponsors including ABC Family, Coca Cola, and Sprint. This concert series was definitely an awesome blend of entertainment, fashion, music, technology, and the teen lifestyle. This is unquestionably a fun promotional event from Simon Property Group.

Here’s a cool item that I’ve never seen at a merch table before: a wind-up music box! I actually haven’t seen any sort of music box in years, and figured they had gone the way of the Dodo…but apparently some modern day artists like Feist are bringing them back from the dead. I can’t say it’s not a great idea either. These inexpensive music boxes are sure to catch the eye of fans looking for something a bit more unique from their favorite artists. When it comes to promotional products, this music box is one of the coolest items I’ve seen in awhile!

There really isn’t much that can be said about Green Day. This promotional knit hat with the Green Day logo is pretty awesome though. Knit hats are a great giveaway at an outdoor concert or any promotion.

Does any one remember the band Sabbat? Until I came across this bunch of concert schwag I completely forgot about them. This collection of giveaways includes promotional t-shirts, which are always a popular concert giveaway.

Here’s an interesting piece of band merch: a promotional kazoo! Finding unique and uncommon products is a great way for bands to cook up some fan demand for merch, but I’m not sure if I want hundreds of crazy fans buzzing their imprinted kazoos during my concert. It would be interesting to hear from The Long Winters about how popular these noisemakers were.
