Here at Blushing Boy we are looking to gather a collective of hackers, benders, doers. We sell our own Blushing Boy designs, but we also distribute and manufacture other peoples stuff.
YOU CAN SELL
Your own hardware and software designs. If you have something special you can also apply to sell in our Black Market category. The Black Market is our place for products that don't really fit but are too nice to leave out.
YOU CAN MANUFACTURE AND SELL THROUGH US
Electronic designs and related hardware, like casings or panels that can be manufactured with a lasercutter. Give us the product plans and we'll make and sell it for you!
CONDITIONS
The design needs to be open source, which means that source code and product plans need to be accessible to download and free to use in any way.
Blushing Boy stocks and distributes the goods worldwide.
APPLICATION
Send an email to team@blushingboy.org and enclose:
1. Product Description: is it a circuit board? Is it a computer program?... Explain what it is and what it does.
2. Level of finishing: is it already manufactured or do you want BB to make it for you? If it is manufactured: Is it tested? Are you selling it already? Do you have stock or do you want to manufacture on demand, when people order it?
3. Design files: schematics, cad drawings, source code... whatever is needed to manufacture your design. We assure total confidenciality. If the application for some reason doesn't go through, we will erase the files.
4. Marketing material: For the webshop. Affect how you want your design to be announced on the website by writing a product description text, adding links to references (for example if the product has its own website), enfolding high quality photographs and perhaps videos (if the files are too big, just give us an address where to download them from).
5. Sale strategy: How much does it cost to manufacture the product for you and how much do you want to earn yourself?
Blushing Boy will handle the application as soon as we can. We then type up a contract proposal and send it back to you. When the contract is signed and the products in stock (or ready to manufacture, if that is the deal), Blushing Boy will publish the product in the webshop.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK...
If you are not sure whether to apply with your design or not, you can send an email with the idea and your questions to team@blushingboy.org.
Pre-order system
Blushing Boy can offer a pre-order service as well. That means that you can choose to manufacture on-demand, when a customer makes a order, or that you can wait a certain amount of time to manufacture, until you have reached a specific amount of orders. If you are interested in preordering, you should contact us and we will make a deal that fits your requirements.
