PARTNER WITH FOOTDOWN
-
What.
Footdown.cc is a combined softgoods marketplace featuring licensed designs from makers and artists large and small. We buy the shirts, handle the printing, stocking, marketing, and fulfillment. You receive a royalty check as goods are sold. The financial risk is ours, the brand assets remain yours.
-
Why.
Softgoods are hard unless you make it a full-time business. Stocking the sizes and designs that people want is expensive, shipping and fulfillment a daily frustration, spoilage and excess orphaned size stock a real concern. Your brand has value, let us help you maximize it.
-
How.
We have partnered with a local-to-us union shop for printing and fulfillment. This isn’t print on demand, these are top quality screenprinted softgoods on name brand clothing. We will print and stock actual goods for sale and handle all of the hassles of marketing, distribution, and customer service. You get royalty payments and the intangible benefits of increased brand visibility.
-
Who.
Footdown.cc is Brad Quartuccio and Jeff Lockwood, old friends from the '90s that first met on the trails surrounding the Dirt Rag Magazine offices and have been riding bikes and listening to jam bands together since. We've each worked in the bike industry more or less our entire lives, and Footdown.cc is a culmination of wandering countless tradeshows, many late night brainstorming sessions, and knowing first-hand what it takes to deal with in-house softgoods sales.
MAXIMIZE BRAND VALUE.
Your brand has value, let us help you maximize it. Beyond the royalty checks, we want you to have the experience of walking into a bike shop and seeing someone you don’t know wearing your logo. We know first-hand that in-house softgoods sales are impossibly hard to deal with, and want to help solve that problem and bring some rad brands under one sales roof. Brand exposure works, Footdown.cc will help spread your brand message and get shirts on people’s backs.
No financial risk to you. really.
Partnering with Footdown.cc is no financial risk to you, and you retain complete ownership of your intellectual property. We print and stock the goods, manage fulfillment and customer service, and handle the marketing of the Footdown.cc store. You will receive industry-standard royalty rates on sales and benefit from enhanced brand visibility overall.
As the brand owner you will always have final say on art, and we promise to do what it takes to maintain your trust throughout. The world is too small, our mutual friendships within the bicycle industry too genuine, for us to do anything but.
Quality goods.
This is not print on demand garbage, these are top quality screenprinted softgoods on name brand clothing. We have partnered with Commonwealth Press, a union print shop in Pittsburgh PA, for printing and fulfillment. Footdown.cc knows bikes and marketing, Commonwealth Press knows softgoods and ink like nothing else. We've worked with Commonwealth Press extensively on other projects through the years and it makes a natural fit of top-quality local printing services that we can trust. Softgoods and stickers are printed at the Commonwealth Press headquarters, patches and other items are sourced from choice suppliers with country of origin noted on individual items.
