Design and develop your first product with confidence, from sketch to sample received in just 30 days!
Hands up if this sounds like you?
You’re out there Googling everything, downloading all the resources, contacting suppliers —all while trying to keep your sanity intact.
Supplier’s are saying yes to everything, but you are finding it hard to know what they are asking, or if they can even help you?
You’re so excited about this new adventure, but the unknown costs of everything stops you in your tracks before you can even get to the checkout process of ordering samples.
You’re scratching your head, wondering what all of this jargon is about MOQ, tech packs and production samples even means and you are ready to give up, before you have even received your first sample…
You’ve tried a few things along the way, like:
Asking suppliers on Alibaba if they can make your product. They all say YES - but they are asking for tech packs.
Spending hours Googling, only to get lost in a rabbit hole with info overload and still at square one.
Contemplating just winging it and hoping they will be able to make your design from a single screenshot.
Buying random samples off Alibaba, only to be disappointed with the execution and quality of the product.
It feels like you’re wasting precious time (and money), you’re still at the very beginning stages and you are no closer to having a prototype of your product in your hot little hands…
Picture This…
What if you could swap that info overload for an easy breezy 45-minute workshop covering sample production, costs and tech packs?
(Oh, and you get a FREE CANVA tech pack template too!)
Get the lowdown on every tiny cost of your product and where you can pinch those pennies, all while confidently moving through the stages of development and price negotiations while saving time and money along the way
