Product Development and CrowdFunding for Promotions

Promo Product Development can be a long and difficult process. Marketing Managers are always looking for really unique gimmicky products to wow their market. ODM is inviting some of our key partners around the world for a major Crowdsourcing & Crowdfunding project to develop the next best Promo Gift. Take Ownership.

Product Development Costs

With crowdfunding, you get a chance to take ownership of ideas and products with a group of like-minded people. Product development does not come cheap, but we are targeting to build a range of items where the initial cost could be anywhere from US$ 5,000 to US$ 30,000. Spreading the costs means that buy-in might be as low as US$ 500 for each company.

Get Involved

Send us an e-mail. We will send you an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) which will allow you to have details of the Promotional Products we are looking to develop. This will also put you on the list, with an option for involvement for this and future product development.

Selecting the Right Promo Gift

ODM has already made some advances on a great Trial Product. We feel that it is important to start this process with a custom high visibility & portable product. Most importantly, there is a substantial print area allowing companies to customize this with their logo for long term exposure and advertising.

For the first product, we selected a product that can be used at the beach and has multiple functions. Future Product development Ideation & direction will be CrowdSourced from our group of promotional products partners around the world. We are looking forward to sharing some of our ideas with you.

Product Development – Budgeting

All product development will be coordinated from the Zhuhai offices of the ODM Group. The Product Development budget will take into account all the major costs that will go into making this product a success. Each product is different, so we will be making a separate budget for each product we develop:

Identifying and qualifying manufacturers
Licensing Costs
Design & IP registration costs
Design & Prototyping
Mould Development
Sampling Costs
Marketing Costs

Profit Share Mechanism

Companies have 2 ways to make money from the sales of Marketing Gifts we develop. This means you will earn some profit on each unit sold globally and high profits on items you sell in your market.

Global Sales: Each investor will take a share in the profits for each unit sold. 5-10 % margin will be taken on the China Factory Ex-Works price to pay for this.
Local Sales: You may sell in your country and earn good profits since our products will be unique and have a global marketing appeal.

Ideation & Origination

Companies who are active in bringing the group an original idea or creation for development will be awarded a special Licensing Cost which allows them a greater share in Global Profits. Check out some of our other unique promo gifts. This means we want to hear your ideas – This is Crowdsourcing.

Limitations

Given that we wish to have Smart Money investment from the Promotional Products Industry, part of the payback is the unique IP that will be granted to each company that invests. Granting IP rights to Promotional Products companies mean that they will be the only promotional products agency to carry our product in their market. This means we can only accept 1 partner per country.
