Better for All of Us

2/22/2018

All of the products on my website are produced on demand. In a nutshell, POD (print-on-demand) supports independent artists, is better for the environment, and creates jobs in the USA and Canada.

Think about it. For every product you buy at a department store this is what happens:
  • The artist creating the design receives from 6% to less than 2% of the wholesale price many months after the sale has been made, even though the design is the selling feature. 
  • The item has likely been produced overseas in massive quantities on speculation. This means that decision makers have planned how many thousands of an item to produce based on their best guess of what consumers want to buy.
  • ​Your un-unique item is then packed on cargo containers and shipped overseas to the US, where it is trucked to a storage facility, then trucked again for final distribution. Great for the ozone, right?
  • More often than not, retailers are left with a surplus of items they can't get rid of. Bargain sales move some of the goods, and seconds stores sell much of it too, but you paid full price.

Instead of consuming mass-produced goods, buying unique products directly from the designer provides all of the following:
  • Custom made products delivered to your door in about one week.
  • Exclusive original designs.
  • A money-back guarantee.
  • The pleasure of dealing with a person who cares, not a customer service agent.
  • The certainty that you are supporting an independent designer and creating jobs in the USA and Canada.
  • The knowledge that the ozone has received the least impact possible because your products are produced locally, after ordering.

Living life more intentionally means that you are making choices in your life that not only enhance your lifestyle, but also take into consideration the environment and how your purchasing power impacts the rest of us. I invite you to consider buying print-on-demand products.
