Marketing with a Mission: A Marketer’s Guide to the Best Catholic Shops
September 4, 2024
Our First-Ever Merch Launch! Woohoo! 🎉
Here at Backflip, we believe in approaching every project through the lens of our Catholic faith. Whether it’s a commercial for Ho-Chunk Gaming Madison or a fresh website for Karben4 Brewing Company, we ensure that we create products that showcase the true, good, beautiful, (and awesome). And when we started looking into the world of Catholic Shop’s we saw a great opportunity.
We also applied this mindset when creating our new merch! When our team found out that we were going to be an exhibit at the National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis IN, we decided to design a t-shirt in honor of our Dare To Believe Series. These t-shirts were such a huge hit at the congress that we decided to bring them back for everyone to enjoy!

To celebrate our exciting new merch launch, I’m highlighting a few of my favorite Catholic shops below.
As a digital marketer, I admire how these brands masterfully create products that, much like our “What If It Was All True” t-shirt, draw you closer to the heart of God. They not only offer modern, beautiful designs but also produce engaging content across their social media platforms, websites, and blogs.
These brands excel in their marketing by combining faith-driven messaging with modern marketing strategies. They create visually appealing websites that are user-friendly, featuring seamless navigation and mobile optimization. Their marketing often highlights the spiritual value of their products, crafting narratives that resonate deeply with their audience. Additionally, they leverage social media to build a sense of community, using engaging content that reflects their mission and values, all while maintaining a professional and inviting online presence.
Don’t miss out on these must-visit Catholic shops! Explore the list, and if I missed a gem, drop it in the comments so we can spread the word!
