Do you take a portion of the profits?
Aside from an initial design fee, we do not take a portion of the proceeds. We try to minimize the costs so that we can donate as much as possible.
Where do you source your products and printing?
We prefer to print with local vendors and suppliers. This ensures we are selling quality products and it increases our profit margin. For lower risk campaigns, we also print with a trade printer called Redbubble.
How do you monitor sales?
Sales are monitored through our online e-commerce website. We receive reports that calculate the cost of goods sold, the profits, and the GST.
When do we receive our donation?
The donation is calculated at the end of the campaign and you will receive a donation statement in the mail. In return, we require a tax statement for the donation.
Can you guarantee a donation amount?
We can’t guarantee a donation amount. In the past, the donations vary from $1500-$6000 and depends on the duration of the campaign and the amount of product purchased.
How are your products sized?
We try to choose unisex garments so that we can outfit a variety of sizes and shapes. If female-specific garments are chosen, they usually follow a standard sizing chart.
Do you have a storefront?
No we do not, but we do work with a small number of retailers to carry our products. In Edmonton, we sell our products at The Makers Keep and Felice Cafe. If you’re a retailer and would like to be one of our stockists, please contact connect@thebrandedgood.com
Where are you located?
We are located in Edmonton Alberta Canada. We’re a small team of three so we ship directly from our studio or local printer.
