Choose wisely
In our catalog, you will find a variety of plush toys, collectible pins, acrylic treasures, and other unique products. Choose the option that both makes sense to your brand identity and one in which you can commit to selling all of the units. Be sure to keep your supporters at the forefront of your mind and choose products you think they will love.
Bespoke product request
Our product catalog makes it easy for you to see a variety of exclusive bespoke products. Each bespoke product lists the minimum order quantity, product size, and available colors.
Once you choose a product that you'd like to request, you will be prompted to fill out a request form. Be as specific as possible when filling out the form. Include detailed descriptions of the design size, placement, and position. Upload your artwork along with any reference images that you may have.
We will work together
Once you have selected the product that you are interested in and have filled out the product’s request form, our sourcing team will work with you via a 4 step process to launch your product.
Step 1 - Pricing
Step 2 - Skeleton Product Listing
Step 3 - Sampling
Step 4 - Launch
Step 1: Pricing
We will send you a quote based on the artwork you submitted via email. You will need to approve pricing to move on to Step 2.
Step 2: Skeleton Product Listing
We will create a skeleton product listing for you. This listing will include the product name, manufacturing costs, shipping weights, fulfillment method, and product designs when available.
You will be able to edit the product name, description, images, and sale price.
Step 3: Sampling
Once the listing has been created, you can request a sample. We will send you a link to pay for the sample, once paid for we will move forward with sample production.
When the sample is complete, we will send you photos of the sample. You can request edits to your sample at this time. Be sure to be thorough with your sample edits. We only allow two rounds of revisions. Once the sample is approved via photos, we will then send you the physical sample for final approval.
We suggest taking fun photos of your sample and adding them to your listing.
Step 4: Launch
Now that you have received your sample and love it, you can now launch your bespoke product. Reach out to Fourthwall Sourcing and let them know that you are ready to launch. Be sure to let them know when you plan on starting and ending your drop. Based on these dates, they will set order ship dates. Once the ship dates are set, you can go live on the drop start date.
Pre-Order Drop vs Inventoried Listing
Pre-Order Drop
A pre-order drop is the most popular listing option. In this option, orders are collected prior to producing the product. The bulk order that is placed with the factory is based on the total orders that were placed during the drop.
We will begin bulk production once the drop has ended and the minimum order quantity has been met. Once production is complete, products will ship to our 3PL where they will be packed and shipped to supporters. Supporters can expect to wait 4-8 weeks for their orders to ship to them.
If a drop ends and the minimum order quantity has not been met you can elect to cancel all orders that were placed or purchase the remaining quantity needed.
Inventoried Listing
An inventoried listing is a listing that has products that have already been produced and are inventoried at our 3PL fulfillment center. If you elect this option, you will need to pre-select the number of units that you would like to have made. We will invoice you for the selected order quantity. Once your invoice has been paid, we will begin bulk production.
The completed order will ship to our 3PL. Once the bulk order has been delivered to our 3PL, your listing can go live. Supporters can expect to only wait 2-4 days for their order to ship.
Exclusivity
Although bespoke products require more forethought and overall planning, your supporters will love the exclusivity, as you offer uncommon products that encompass your brand identity.
