designed and manufactured a fair amount of iphone and ipad fashion accessories. From iphone and ipad cases down to confusing wall and car mounts – we’ve done it all.
Every single other week we receive an inquiry along the lines just like “can you design a cool looking iPhone case for us?”
“Sure” Authentic Marcus Mariota Jersey , we say. We are happy to design a product for you. But whether it’s commercially successful for you – well, we don’t know….
Don’t get us wrong. The market for iOS devices is massive and growing. Yet the market for fashion accessories is becoming progressively more crowded. To design a successful item you need to do some thinking first:
1) Who’s your customer? Do not say “iPhone users”. iPhone customers might be anyone from a thirteen year old highschool kid to the CEO of a multinational corporation or even your seventy five year old grandmother. Such end users have different demands, attitudes and purchasing power. Concentrating on one group will help you to choose a design that perfectly matches your customer’s profile.
two) How much do you wish to invest? You need to be aware of your financial firepower. Manufacturing a plastic protective case Authentic Harold Landry Jersey , for instance, requires an upfront initial investment for tooling. Cases made of sewn materials, such as leather Authentic Rashaan Evans Jersey , do not require a large investment at the beginning of the manufacturing process. Yet your profit margin will tend to be smaller with all these style of cases.
three) What’s special about your merchandise? Standard fashion accessories like cases, headphones and sleeves are very competitive. These goods are fairly effortless to make and big players have already emerged. In case you’d like to introduce an accessory in that field be sure you’ve a special idea. There are cases with built-in batteries, waterproof cases Authentic Amani Hooker Jersey , cases with solar cells. We’re sure there are 100s of ideas out there waiting to be developed. Be inventive – invent some thing completely new. We at DETEKT can do the rest for you.
four) Make certain the packaging is nice! We’ve blogged about packaging before. Packaging is especially important for iOS fashion accessories just as the iphone and ipad. After all, you’re not just selling a piece of plastic or leather. No, you are selling a merchandise that protects your clients favorite gadget – an iPhone andor an iPad. And all these gadgets come with a certain purchaser perception – good design and high-quality. Make sure your packaging also reflects all of these perceptions.
Follow all of these stages and you’ve a high chance of accomplishment. At Detekt Design we have developed a lot of products for iPhones and iPads. If you have an awesome idea – let’s know! We help you to make it happen.
