TESTIMONIALS
Why do Creators love working with Makeship?
We’ll let them tell you themselves.
Everyone I was in communication with were so open to my ideas and suggestions. It felt like my input really mattered! Even if we ran into complications during the design process, the team would explain it easily and provide alternatives. The teams worked really hard to accurately recreate my characters design. The Makeship teams are incredible at what they do!
Working with Makeship is a truly enjoyable experience. Your entire team is consistently enthusiastic and friendly. I always look forward to seeing the designs and the pleasant atmosphere of our meetings. It's been a lot of fun overall, and I'm excited about our future plushies.
Thank you to everyone I have corresponded with in this entire process. It’s been a wonderful team to work with. You made it a simple, seamless, easy process. I never thought there was that much merch potential within Maddness, even for less known characters. It's been great. You guys have knocked it out of the park every time.
I never would've believed my account would reach 100k followers let alone 1 million haha. I'm forever honored and grateful to work with you guys, especially because you believed in my art so early on. It really means the world to me, and I love creating new fun stuff!
FAQs
For Creators
We’re glad you asked! Running a campaign with Makeship is a low-risk way to deliver high-quality, limited-edition products to your Fans with no upfront costs.
Our team works with you from start to finish to design, sell, promote, and manufacture a custom product made by you, for your Fans.
If you’re interested in collaborating, fill out a quick form below so we can learn more about you and see if a collab is the right fit.
A campaign is a 21-day pre-order window that starts after your campaign closes. During this time, Fans can place orders for your product. If the funding goal is met, we begin manufacturing. If it isn’t, all Fan orders are refunded.
Because each campaign can include hundreds or thousands of products, production can take up to 90 days. Once complete, orders ship within 1-2 business days and typically arrive 7-15 days later. Some regions may require 10-30 days, and delivery may temporarily be unavailable in certain countries.
A petition is a way for Fans to support your work and help bring your ideas to life.
It does two things: lets Fans show love for your work, and gives them the chance to commit to purchasing your limited-edition product.
Each petition starts with a small $2 pledge from Fans. Once the campaign reaches its minimum number of supporters, we move to the next stage and create a prototype of your product, whether it’s a plush, keychain, hoodie or vinyl figure.
When the prototype is approved, the drop goes live and the remaining balance for pledge orders is charged.
