    Do you remember these bands :

    [​IMG]

    Everybody had to have one


    I am hoping to create something similar but not a wrist band. 25% of the profit from the product will go towards a charity. My close friend is a Pro. Designer and could Design the product.

    I am looking for a partner/partners to help :

    Start a website and forum
    Help create the product
    Help Advertise the product
    Help sell the product

    any questions or comments are welcome.

    Thank You

    To be honest the wristband fade has come and gone. You aren't going to get anyone buying them anyway if it's just for a commercial business.

    Alot of conferences use them as entry passes, but that's about it. A few nightclubs up here use them too, but again it's pretty limited.

    I think the bigger concern here is that you want people that can build the site/forum, create your product, and sell it for you. So what exactly would your role in this be? It comes across like you want other people to do all the grunt work for you while you do nothing.

    I'm not trying to sound negative or anything, but that's just the way you are coming across right now.

    If you really are serious about this, contact a few manufacturers about pricing and information and see where it leads you. Alot of production houses have their own in-house designers that can work with you to build the product (it will cost you a pretty penny though). But then you've got the product created and just need to deal with actually going out and selling it.

    I know MinuteMan Press can do this kind of stuff. But if you want to be super lazy you could always go through CafePress, I believe they sell that type of stuff.

    I would start off with CafePress on a very limited fashion just to see if it would fly.

    Then take your profits and bankroll a larger production run if it takes off.
