Today we present the first opportunity for our design/make community to earn money in a new way.
You’ll design a promotional product for Outforce – the employee and business resource group promoting diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity within Salesforce.
How To Create A Product That Sells
Everything you need to know about creating a product to sell.
This comes as a result of us launching a new service for event marketers and businesses to design and make promo products from scratch, using our design/make community of 150,000 creative minds!
Your Payment
We have $1,000 up for grabs for the designer who creates the promo product chosen to be produced by Outforce.
Your Challenge
Design an exciting promotional giveaway that celebrates diversity in sexual orientation and gender identity.
Your Audience
New Salesforce employees will be given your product during their company orientation, at which time they are introduced to the Outforce group.
Your Goal
Your promo product will:
* Be something new Salesforce employees will love to keep.
* Remind them of the Outforce group over time, and to stay involved with it into the future.
* Be share-worthy swag that new employees will want to post on social media to promote Outforce, and the group’s mission.
Themes To Guide Your Design Direction
* Equality
* Diversity
* Inclusion
Manufacturing Constraints
* Your product must be manufacturable using a laser cutter or 3D printer.
* Single part designs are preferred.
* Designs with additional components or assembly are not advised unless the concept is flatpack to be assembled by your product’s user. For example, a pop out puzzle.
