What is BrandMates?
Imakenotebooks Brandmates are projects or well-known brands for which we produce notebooks they sell on POS, markets or on line. These projects receive our best prices and additional benefits to help them optimize their commercial success.
Why are they called BrandMates?
Because imakenotebooks is not longer a vendor to BrandMates, we become an strategic partner that helps increase the success possibilities of their brand or project
What is the difference between BrandMates and wholesalers?
A BrandMate doesn’t need to purchase 500 pieces or more to access our best prices, but only a minimum purchase order of US$300.00. This benefit is part of the idea that a small brand or project can’t risk money in a large inventory which will affect its cash flow and increases the risk of not selling all the run.
Also, with the aim of achieving a relationship of mutual growth, BrandMates need to maintain minimum annual purchases (12 months):
US$700 in the first year.
US$1,400 from the second year onwards.
Which commitments does my project or brand acquire by becoming a BrandMate?
The commitment acquired has to do with the way we will work together to develop your orders.
As a BrandMate you have to generate your WO (work order) by yourself as well as the list of designs, you have to execute your designs on a template and deliver the files in the sequence required. The work order goes directly into production.
This contribution to the process allow us to reduce one person’s salary and therefore offer the lowest price possible.
You also have to reach the minimum purchase required, otherwise you will lose the benefits of the program.
Which tasks do Brandmates have to perform as part of the joint work with imakenotebooks?
Brandmates have to follow the working processes required by imakenotebooks:
To deliver designs correctly executed on the templates provided, ready for printing.
To fill in their own work order (WO).
To only use official communication means.
To always use updated files (Dashboard)
To deliver files with precise settings.
To approve in writing (email) quotes and printing tests, if required.
