Associate Design Program
We've got a bunch of ideas in the works, but we definitely can’t think of everything. If you have a cool idea that could help the community, check out our associate design partnership! You’ll get to bring your awesome idea to life and make some cash from your creativity. Here’s how it works:
Concept
How you explain your concept to us is up to you. You can jot it down on a piece of paper, design it on your computer, or scratch it out on the back of a proverbial napkin (how cliché). You can even chisel it into stone slab and ship it to us it you want. Make it as simple or a complex as you want then you are ready to submit.
Legal
Complete the submission form, and before you download your design information, you will receive a non-disclosure agreement to ensure your idea safeguarded and confidential.
Evaluation
We'll check out your idea and see how it stacks up in terms of how it works, what materials you'll need, how to make it, parts to buy, assembly options, and its market potential. If we think it has a chance we'll put together a cost estimate and a sales proposal, plus some ideas for changes and improvements and send it your way for a thumbs up. We'll also update the legal stuff with a partnership and ownership agreement.
Consultation & Design
A shared folder in Adobe Workfront, and welcome to the design team We'll be sharing designs for you to check out and suggest any tweaks. Right now, it's all hands on deck, and sure, there might be a few dead ends, but that's just part of the journey. We'll work together until we find something we all love!
Build & Test
We're kicking off the production and testing of the parts now! Don’t worry about development costs; we’ve got that covered, so you won’t have to spend a dime. We'll keep everyone in the loop with updates in the shared file. Feel free to share any suggestions along the way—together, we’ll create something awesome that we can all be proud of!
Congrats
We're all wrapped up! Is it time to crack open the bubbly? Why not, right? But we've still got a bit more to do. We need to get this thing out there for everyone to check out. Our webmaster will take care of the search optimization, and then we'll just sit back and see the sales roll in... hopefully! If you approve, the first batch of this amazing product is a special edition featuring your name engraved on it. You'll be the first to get the final product for free, and you’ll also get any updates or changes we agree on, all at no cost to you—even shipping!
Profit Sharing
As a partner, you’ll get a from the sales. We’re talking about a 10% share after covering the material costs, and we’ll handle the labor, packaging, and shipping. You’ll get a sales report every two months with a money transfer in whatever currency you prefer. This will keep going until we decide to stop selling the product, which could be a while or just short run, depending on how it’s used.
