Custom Bobbleheads – What You Need to Know About Partnering With a Manufacturer
If you’re going to implement a bobble head strategy to promote yourself or your business, you need to enter into a partnership with a manufacturer of custom figurines. This is unavoidable unless you want to risk failure by trying to do the manufacturing yourself. In case you don’t know, you have to invest a lot of time and money to set up your own manufacturing company. So it’s in your best interest to enter into a partnership with a reliable manufacturer for your customized bobble heads.
But just like any partnerships, you have to know what you can expect from your manufacturer. So it’s good to know the terms and conditions because it will directly affect your custom bobble heads. So before entering into any agreement with a manufacturer, ask for their Standard Agreement for Manufacturing. The reliable manufacturers will have that available on their website. But to give you an idea, here are some important things that you have to know:
1. Copyright, Trademark or Patent
It is your responsibility to make sure that you don’t violate the copyright, trademark or patent of other products. So make sure that your custom wobbly headed figurines don’t violate any of those to prevent any humps along the way.
2. Age
You should be at least 18 years old to enter into a partnership with a bobble head doll manufacturer. This is to protect both you and the manufacturer.
3. Termination
There are processes if either party wants to terminate the project. Be sure to check the possible reasons and the processes for termination of the project for your customized figurines.
4. Nothing illegal, please
You should agree that you don’t plan on using the custom bobble heads for illegal purposes. You also shouldn’t enter into an agreement if you know that there is a violation of the law in the doll project.
5. Reselling
Some people would decide on selling the customized bobble heads instead of using them as promotional tools. If this happens, you assume full responsibility for anything related to it like the product itself, delivery and return.
You shouldn’t be worried too much about this agreement. As long as you understand what’s happening, everything should be fine. There’s no way to go around this agreement and it’s in your best interest to stick with it. You’re going to use the custom bobble heads for your promotional campaign and problems that arise from not understanding the agreement can greatly affect the campaign. So make sure to check it out from the website of the manufacturer. If you have any questions, ask the manufacturer. They’ll be more than happy to explain everything to you because they also want it to be a seamless partnership. This partnership will help you succeed with your bobble heads and the agreement will help the partnership be a win-win situation for both you and your manufacturer.
