Question 1

What is Hawkr?

Accepted Answer

Hawkr is a new digital platform that benefits both fans and artists by creating a virtual merch stand in your pocket.      The Hawkr app makes buying and selling merchandise at live gigs a better, simpler and more rewarding experience for you, and for the artists you are supporting by buying their merchandise.

Question 2

What does Hawkr do?

Accepted Answer

Hawkr is a new way to buy merch via an app instead of a physical merch stand at live gigs.  This saves queuing, prevents the need to lose your space at the front by having to visit the merch stand and eliminates the issue of finding out they've run out of your size or favourite colour.  It also means you don't have to carry your merch around for the rest of the evening and risk losing it on the night bus home.  Hawkr also helps artist by giving them a fair deal on the merch they sell, so if you want to support your favourite artists, grab merch today.

Question 4

How do I use the Hawkr app?

Accepted Answer

Download the app, create an account, and you're ready to go.   Start by following your favourite artists, or checking out who is playing near you.  You can use the app at any time to browse merch stores and merch stands.  'Merch Stores' are always-on stores, kind of like a shop where you can buy merch at anytime.  'Merch Stands' are specific to gigs artists are playing and may sometimes be locked, you can unlock them by getting a code from the artist or via geolocation when you arrive at the venue they are playing at.     The reason an artist might lock a Merch Stand is to make the merch exclusively available to the fans that actually go to the gig.
