New Product Development ⚙️

🚀 Ready to bring your product idea to life? At Pinlord, we specialize in transforming your vision into reality with our expertise in crowdfunding prototypes (we’re Indiegogo pros!) and creating award-winning products. Whether you’re dreaming up something completely new or improving on an existing idea, we’ve got you covered every step of the way. Let’s make product development simple, exciting, and achievable!

Here’s a step-by-step guide to kickstart your journey:

  1. 💡 Idea Generation – Every big product starts with a small idea. Don’t wait for a “perfect” idea—sometimes the best products come from improving something already out there! Use the SCAMPER method (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse/Rearrange) to tweak and reimagine existing products.
  2. 🔍 Research – Before diving into production, let’s validate your idea! Talk to potential customers, run surveys, or even launch a crowdfunding campaign to see if there’s demand. This will help ensure that your idea has a market, saving you time, money, and effort down the line.
  3. 📝 Planning – This is where your idea starts to take shape. Create detailed sketches of your product, list out the materials, and begin crafting your product roadmap. It doesn’t have to be perfect yet, but the clearer your vision, the smoother the process will be.
  4. 🛠️ Prototyping – Time to bring your idea to life! At Pinlord, we’ll help you create a prototype that you can test, tweak, and improve until you’re satisfied. Whether it's 3D printing or handmade samples, the prototyping phase is where the magic happens, and we’re here to guide you through every iteration.
  5. 📦 Sourcing – Once your prototype is ready, we’ll help you find the right materials and partners to start production. Whether you want to manufacture locally or overseas, we’ve got the connections to make it happen smoothly and cost-effectively.
  6. 💰 Costing – Let’s break down all the numbers. We’ll help you calculate the cost of goods (COGS) and figure out the best pricing strategy so you can maximize your profit margins.
  7. 🎉 Commercialization – Now it’s time to introduce your product to the world! From launching your marketing campaign to working with influencers and running creative ads, we’ll help you get your product in front of the right audience and start generating sales.

No matter where you are in your product development journey, Pinlord is here to turn your vision into reality. With our experience and resources, you’re not just building a product—you’re creating something amazing that people will love.

    3) How do tariffs, fees, and taxes affect costs?

    We make global ordering stress-free with DDP Shipping (Delivered Duties Paid). 🌍

    • ✔️ All import taxes, duties & tariffs prepaid
    • ✔️ No surprise customs bills or hidden charges
    • ✔️ No paperwork — your order arrives at your door, hassle-free

    💸 Example: In some countries, a $100 order could face up to $135 in surprise fees. With DDP, you pay just 5–10% upfront, and we handle the rest.

    4) Do you accept 50% deposits?

    ✅ Yes — available for all orders!

    • 50% deposit to begin production
    • 50% balance after photo proof, before shipping

    This gives you peace of mind: you’ll see exactly what’s being sent before final payment.

    5) What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

    Most products have no MOQ — because we believe great ideas shouldn’t be limited by big order requirements.

    • ✅ Many small goods have no MOQ at all
    • 🔢 Some products start as low as 1–25 units
    • 🧵 Apparel, packaging & stationery often allow low runs

    💡 Tip: The bigger the order, the lower the cost per unit — and ordering multiple product types means you only pay shipping once.

    6) Can I see samples before ordering?

    Absolutely! 😄 You can order a sample of your design first.

    🛠️ Upload your design and select “1 unit” (or more). Our team will prepare a custom sample quote before full production.

    7) What if my order arrives damaged or has quality issues?

    We stand behind our products. If your order arrives damaged or with quality concerns, email us at hi@pinlord.com and we’ll provide a tailored solution.
