Financial Terms
Each artist has the right to negotiate their type of agreement. Here are the arrangements Kinky Peach has for its artists:
Investor
Kinky Peach will take care of the costs and the process of manufacturing the merchandise your art is made into, and provides a safe platform for your work to be shared.
Designs start off as stickers, as a low cost and low risk entry point for a design. Depending on the success of your design, it could eventually be made into higher margin items like pins, prints, apparel, ect.
You get 20% of the profit from each sale of your items. Profits are calculated after expenses are deducted from the revenue. Expenses can include production costs, taxes, shipping materials, and so on.
Your sales will be tracked through a shared spreadsheet, and paid out through Zelle or Paypal on a monthly basis.
Consignment
Consignment is a great option if you want to feature more of your work while keeping full creative control. You choose what pieces you want to offer, how many you send in, and the price that feels right for your time and materials.
We operate on a 50/50 revenue split, meaning you receive 50% of the retail price for every unit sold. You also set your own retail price to ensure your materials, time, and labor are properly valued.
To keep everything transparent, all sales are tracked in a shared spreadsheet, and payouts are made monthly through Zelle, Venmo, CashApp, or PayPal.
Benefits of Consignment for Artists:
-
Low upfront risk: No big production runs required. Send what you want, when you want.
-
Room to experiment: Test new designs, styles, or price points. This is great for creatives who are still exploring or building out a collection.
-
Higher earning potential: Your pricing reflects the true value of your labor and creativity. You may earn more per piece than through wholesale.
-
Flexible inventory: Swap in new pieces, rotate items seasonally, or showcase one-of-a-kind work anytime.
-
Create at your own pace: Whether you make pieces every day or only when inspiration hits, contribute at a pace that feels natural without pressure to produce consistently or to maintain a constant inventory. Consignment adapts to your creative rhythm, even if it changes month to month.
Consignment is ideal for artisans who create one-of-a-kind or limited-run pieces, or for anyone who wants the freedom to showcase a fuller, more dynamic range of their work in our shop!
Wholesale
With wholesale, you create and produce your merchandise, and we purchase your completed pieces upfront at a wholesale price. When we buy wholesale, we typically select a few pieces from your collection to start with. If those pieces do well in our shop, we’re always open to restocking or expanding into more of your designs.
Wholesale is a great option for artists who:
-
Prefer to be paid upfront for their work
-
Already have established designs they can reproduce consistently
-
Are comfortable creating items in small batches or fulfilling reorders
-
Want a simpler, hands-off approach once the items are delivered
