Our Process
Professional Merchandise Without the Professional Headaches
You're already managing a dozen priorities. Creating merchandise that actually represents your organization's caliber shouldn't add to that list—it should cross something off.
Our three-phase process eliminates the guesswork, prevents costly mistakes, and delivers merchandise your community will be proud to wear. Here's exactly how it works:
Phase 1: Discovery & Strategy
Before we talk about t-shirts or tote bags, we talk about you. What makes your organization special? Who are you trying to reach? What's worked before, and what ended up collecting dust in your storage closet?
In this phase, we'll discuss:
- Your budget and fundraising goals (because we believe in realistic expectations, not sticker shock)
- Style preferences that match your brand identity
- Product types that resonate with your specific audience
- Quantities that make financial sense without creating inventory nightmares
- Timeline requirements and any upcoming events or campaigns
The outcome: A clear understanding of what success looks like for your organization—not just what products you need, but why you need them.
Phase 2: Curation & Proposal
This is where our expertise saves you hours of confusion and comparison shopping. We research every product option that fits your budget and vision, comparing quality, pricing, and production timelines across our trusted supplier network.
What you receive:
- A comprehensive proposal featuring hand-selected options tailored to your needs
- Transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprises
- Quantity recommendations optimized for your budget
- Clear timelines from approval to delivery
- Our honest recommendations based on what we've seen work for similar organizations
You choose your preferred option, submit a deposit, and we move forward together.
No pushy sales tactics. No overwhelming you with 50 fabric swatches. Just the options that make sense for your organization, presented clearly.
Phase 3: Design Approval & Production
Now comes the creative magic. Using everything we've learned about your organization's personality, audience, and goals, our design team creates three distinct design concepts for your review.
The design process:
- Three custom design options created specifically for your organization and product selection
- Your choice of which direction resonates most with your vision
- Collaborative refinement to perfect every detail—from color adjustments to typography tweaks
- Professional mockup showing exactly how your design will look on the final product
- Your final approval before a single item goes into production
Once you sign off, we handle everything:
- Quality checks throughout production
- Careful attention to color accuracy and print placement
- Final inspection before shipping
- Delivery coordination that works with your schedule
Our promise: We go to great lengths to ensure your expectations aren't just met—they're exceeded. Because when your merchandise looks exceptional, you look exceptional.
