Sprout
Five stages, one team, and somebody who has done each of them before standing beside you for all five. Working it out alone is how a small mistake becomes an expensive one.
Talk to usIn the order it happens. Each stage ends with what the next one needs.
Stage 1 of 5
Turning a product concept into something you can hold. A sample is the cheapest point at which you can still change your mind about almost anything.
Find out whether the thing you imagined works as an object before committing to a production run.
Put your sample next to what is already on the shelf and judge it honestly.
A refined sample is what a factory quotes against, so getting it right shortens everything after.
Material and construction decisions made at sample stage are what set your per-unit price.
We work through your concept with you and turn it into a specification a manufacturer can read.
We source samples from several manufacturers so you can feel the range of what is possible.
We manage the back and forth with suppliers until the sample is production ready.
Stage 2 of 5
Finding manufacturing partners who can actually make your product, at a price that leaves you a business. We vet them so you are not doing it from photographs.
We check who we are dealing with before you send anyone money.
Pricing, minimums and lead times argued on your behalf by people who do it often.
Regular checks through the production run rather than a surprise at the end.
We work out what you actually need: specification, quantity, and what your budget will carry.
We shortlist manufacturers who match those requirements rather than whoever answers first.
We check them properly and negotiate terms and pricing.
We coordinate a sample and review the quality before anything scales.
We oversee the full run with quality checks along the way.
We coordinate the logistics so it arrives when you were told it would.
Stage 3 of 5
Running the production line and getting the result to you. Years of doing this means the problems are mostly ones we have already seen.
Somebody watching the line who answers to you rather than to the factory.
Checks through production, not a single inspection once it is too late to fix.
Packaging, labelling and shipping coordinated to your destination.
Detailed plans covering timelines and the resources the run will need.
We source the materials and components production depends on.
We oversee manufacturing and hold it to the specification.
Comprehensive checks throughout, rather than one at the end.
Packaging, labelling and shipping coordinated to where it needs to go.
Per unit
Quoted per product
The product itself, plus tooling, samples, freight and duty. This is paid to the people making and moving it, and it is set by your factory rather than by us.
Supplier management
Quarterly fee
Vetting, negotiation, quality oversight and the relationship itself, for as long as you are producing. Charged by the quarter rather than as a percentage of a number nobody has agreed yet.
Both are quoted before anything starts. A thousand units of one product costs nothing like a thousand of another, so a fixed tier would only ever be a guess.
Stage 4 of 5
Photography that makes the product look like what it is. Most listings lose the sale in the first image.
Clean, well-lit images from the angles a buyer actually wants to see.
Close work on the parts that justify the price.
Short promotional video where the product needs motion to make sense.
We talk through your brand, the product and what the images have to do.
We plan the shoot around that rather than defaulting to a white background.
Our photographers shoot it with proper lighting and composition.
We edit and optimise, then hand over files ready to use.

Every project is quoted properly before anything starts. These are the ranges most land in.
Stage 5 of 5
A launch plan built from research into your actual market, rather than a template with your product name pasted into it.
Who is buying, what they already use, and what it costs to reach them.
Where to spend, in what order, and what to ignore.
The campaign and content the plan depends on, made rather than described.
We research your market, audience and competitors to build a foundation.
We write a strategy aligned to what the business actually needs.
We develop the campaigns and content for your audience.
We run the plan across the chosen channels.
We track what happens and adjust rather than declaring victory.
