What is expected of me as a partner in the Locals Series?
We do our best to take care of the details and collaborate effectively with each partner. All partners are asked to collaborate on their respective designs and approve a viable design for the series. Our goal is to make the process fun and exciting for each partner.
We ask that all partners share on social media via their available channels and/or email campaigns where available. We have found styles typically get more traction and generate more sales when they are promoted to as many audiences as possible. It is important to activate each partner’s audience as well as those following Yellowhammer Print Shop. More shares equals more awareness and sales.
Upon acceptance, our designers will conceptualize a sampling of shirt designs based upon your existing branding/style. We are more than happy to take art direction and field design ideas from our partners. It is important that partners can relay clear design guidance in order to finalize a design in a reasonable amount of time via email.
Can I purchase shirts to sell myself in my own business/for employees/or online?
Yes! We are proud to offer shirts to our partners for a flat $7 per unit. They will be printed at the same time as the customer preorders and then we will schedule a time for you to pick them up. If interested in doing so, email allison@yellowhammer.org before your preorder closes.
When will my shirt be featured?
Partners will be notified in advance of their release schedule. We are more than happy to take special events, marketing opportunities, etc. into our scheduling considerations. We operate this series on a tight schedule with partners of all shapes and sizes, so we respectfully ask that you respond to any email correspondence in a timely manner. Failed attempts to do so could result in scheduling delays.
When do shirts start shipping out to people who have ordered?
Each pre order lasts one week. Typically launching Monday and closing the following Sunday at midnight. Once the preorders close we will process the orders and order shirt blanks. Any extra partner shirts will be due at this time. The shirts will be processed and printed as soon as possible. The goal is to have all shirts shipped 2-3 weeks after the close of the pre order.
What is the profit share break down and when do the partners get paid their share of the sales?
Each shirt in the series sells for $26 : $10 goes to partnering business; $10 goes to Yellowhammer for printing and processing and $6 goes toward the cost of the shirt and printing.
Each partner will receive a paper check mailed to their provided business address once the orders have been fulfilled. If you need payment mailed to a different address or made out to a different name other than your business name, please email Allison@yellowhammer.org
Can partners donate their portion of the sales to another organization or nonprofit?
Yes, you are free to use the money as you wish! Please let us know what organization you would like to donate the proceeds to and we will include it in your posting.
