FAQs

  • Yes you can! Click on PORTFOLIO at the top of the site.

  • Please see above at the top of this page. I provide services in the area of Vision development, Sourcing, Manufacturing and Logistics. I am open to scheduling a meeting to discuss your needs in more detail if you go to the Start Your Project page and contact me.

  • WHAT I DO NOT DO IN MY SERVICES:

    I do not brainstorm or come up with product ideas.

    I do not research competition or trends to figure out what product to make. I will research to help figure out materials, packaging and sustainability needs since that requires manufacturer input.

    I do not track the project for your company. You provide milestones and dates and I provide you updates and any new information on timelines as they come in from the manufacturers.

    I do not design or create files or update files for your products. I can recommend designers if need be.

    I do not figure out what you need on your packaging to be in compliance with your customers or country. I will provide information from the manufacturers based on their knowledge if need be.

    I do not cancel an order after manufacturing has begun. I can work with the manufacturer to try to meet your needs to the best of their abilities though.

    I do not pay the manufacturers. I will provide you an invoice and you will provide their payments however your company desires.

    I do not create a vision and plan for your product, including branding, sizing, budget, packaging, quantities. I do have this skill and if you would like me to help with this, there will be an extra charge.

  • No, it isn’t. Vision to Shop more closely resembles End to End product development, in that I can make products for you that are completely new, customized and unique. Private Label is more about branding an existing product.

    Here is what Vision to Shop entails:

    In Vision to Shop product development, your company uses mine to source and manufacture a completely new and unique product from scratch. You bring me the vision and branding and ideas for marketing approach, and I make sure a product is made that fits those unique needs.

    My company ensures that product features are unique to your brand and the market, sustainable and innovative, while also focusing highly on quality, timing, and budget.

    This approach typically requires a significant investment of time, resources, and expertise to develop a unique product but has a significantly higher payoff in regards to longevity of brand recognition

  • The main difference will be that my company will not develop your vision, brand, marketing or launch of your product. Your company will have more control and agency over timelines and creation of the product itself, as my company will not assume ownership of the full project—-only the vision development, sourcing, manufacturing and logistics.

  • Please navigate to the Start Your Project page and follow the directions found there.
