Niagara Falls, Ontario

Souvenir apparel programs for Niagara Falls retailers

Drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, for the more than a thousand retail doors that reorder every season

Niagara Falls Tourism puts annual visitation to the city at roughly 12 million, with a further 2 million across the rest of the region. The Horseshoe Falls sits on the Canadian side, Table Rock Centre at its brink is the single busiest viewpoint in the city, and Clifton Hill holds the largest concentration of souvenir, novelty and attraction retail in Niagara Falls. Ontario is our second largest province by accounts, and this is the one Ontario town where volume, not depth, decides the program.


What sells on Clifton Hill

The Falls, a rainbow, the blue poncho and the tour boat, the Skylon Tower, a maple leaf. A Niagara Falls wordmark with the Horseshoe Falls as embroidery outsells anything printed because it survives the wash and the visitor knows it, and a Canada maple leaf design carries the international crowd who want the country as much as the town. Our artists localize both, and the Canada and maple leaf designs that lead Quebec reorders sell here for the same reason. The Winter Festival of Lights runs November to January, so fleece has a season.


Getting stock to the Falls

Ground courier from Vancouver reaches Niagara in about 5 business days. Peak is June to August, so the spring build ships in April, a June top-up covers July and August, and a fall order in September carries the lights season. Reorders go through your rep. For a multi-store operator on Clifton Hill and Falls Avenue we localize the same design in different colourways so the stores do not repeat. See the buyer FAQ for how a high-volume program is sized.


Any town in Canada

Every design on this site localizes to any town, park or shop name in Canada. Same minimums, same lead time.

Questions

What Niagara Falls buyers ask

What is the minimum order for a Niagara Falls shop?

Twelve pieces per design. A first program for a Niagara Falls shop usually opens with a few designs on tees and adds fleece and caps once the season shows what sells.

How long does shipping to Niagara Falls take?

About 5 business days by ground courier from Vancouver. Orders leave our Vancouver floor once the run is stitched, and reorders go out on the schedule your rep sets with you.

Can the designs say Niagara Falls?

Yes. Every design in the catalogue is namedrop-ready: the artwork stays and the lettering becomes Niagara Falls. Designs are drawn, digitized and stitched in Vancouver, and namedrops are included with the program at no art charge.

How do reorders work?

Through your rep, sized to your season. Reorders run on a standing schedule from the Vancouver floor so a hot colour never leaves a hole in the wall.
