The process is simple:
One. We meet with you at your facility to become familiar with the history, interpretive material and artifacts on display.
Two. We discuss what person, place or thing would best represent the story you want your patrons to remember.
Three. We discuss your target audience and your merchandising goals for said product offering(s).
Four. We present a selection of product options, their respective costs and development time frames from which to
choose.
Five. We develop a one-of-a-kind concept model of the reproduction or scale replica to be sold in your gift shop. In
addition to developing the item itself, we work to portray its historical significance through package copy; the
packaging can then also be further personalized with your sites’ logo and fund raising goals.
Six. We meet to present and discuss your custom one-of-a-kind concept model.
Seven. Adjustments and refinements are made to the concept as necessary.
Eight. A development schedule and product cost are developed.
Nine. A purchase order from your site initiates the production process.

Frequently asked questions:
Question: Can I be involved in the development process?

autonomously develop products as well. The choice of when and how to be involved is yours to make.
Question: How long does all of this take?
Answer: The construction of your one-of-a-kind model can normally be accomplished within 2-4 weeks. Production of your
item varies with its manufacturing method.
