HOW IT WORKS
The Toy Business Consultancy Call can take any form you like. This is a flexible format. Calls typically take 90-120 minutes. We will endeavour to answer any questions you have.
OUR GUARANTEE
When we agree to do a Toy Business Consultancy Call, we want to answer your questions to the best degree that we can. If we can’t give you an answer on the call, we will do our best to find out the information you need and follow up after the call. Needless to say this is not an ongoing commitment to give you feedback on everything for ever more, but we will do our best to ensure that the call answers the questions you have, and we will also proactively suggest other areas you need to consider.
THE COST
Our Toy Business Consultancy Call service costs £400 (BRITISH POUNDS). If you need us to review & sign NDAs (non disclosure agreement) or other legal documents, then we request that you book 2 calls to cover the extra time required for us to review your legal document.
To put the cost in context, manufacturing minimum orders are typically around 3000 to 5000 units of your product. With an average manufacturing cost of $3 USD, that means your absolute minimum investment will be $9,000 USD. Isn’t it worth making sure a). you aren’t wasting that money b). that there aren’t some obvious tweaks which you can make to your product to massively increase your chance of success c). that a well connected team of toy business veterans can’t at the very least make some suggestions to save you money on manufacturing/tooling?
