The key differences between on-demand services and our concept to creation retainers are that our retainers are 1-on-1 support for Design, Quotations, Sampling, Production and Logisitics. In comparison to our, on-demand and project based service being more limited with 1-on-1 support as you only have access to us in bite sized pieces by booking paid consultations and we do not manage your factory communication.
Here are the key differences between On-Demand VS Concept to Creation Retainers:
1. We do not manage your garment fittings, sizing charts or grading where this is inclusive in our concept to creation retainers.
2. We do not manage factory communication or quality control where on the retainer this is inclusive depending on the service level.
3. We do not manage your sampling or production purchase orders
4. We are not able to work with you closely 1-on-1 unless you have purchased a solo support retainer or paid consultations.
5. You are managing the timeline and doing more yourself, therefore you usually need to navigate the most difficult and costly part of the project while learning which usually extends your entire lead time beyond 12 months to launch.
6. Client resources are not included with on-demand project work. They are exclusive to our retainer service.
7. Our Direct Factory Connection Fee applies for all services outside of the Foundation and All-Expert Retainers for new businesses.
