General information: 

Evode Group aims to disrupt the wholesale model where consumers have long since suffered a lack of CHOICE at the hands of traditional wholesale companies, unlocking a brand’s entire asset library to its audience.

We have created a world where there are limitless customisation and personalisation opportunities, manufactured by a global network of the most advanced and highest quality on-demand print centres, whereby any consumer can customise their chosen product on one of our platforms and have it delivered within a few days.

Our unique model creates millions of product combinations for the consumer. Its not just about choice. Its about the consumer getting exactly what they want, when they want it with a design that resonates with THEM.

In a fast paced, digitally connected world where ‘waiting’ is becoming obsolete, we can now remove the long standing issues of having stock (or more importantly, running out of it!!).

Any Product, Any Size, Any Colour, Any Design, Any Brand, and Next Generation personalisation options....available to purchase 24/7, 365 days per year and shipped within 48 hours.

Is a pioneering gift retailer and the home of the Video Greeting Card. Consumers can select a physical greeting card and then personalise by uploading a video taken on their phone, tablet or PC.

FAQ: 
What makes us different?
1. ZERO INVENTORY BUSINESS MODEL We offer millions of product combinations without holding any stock, machinery, production personnel or warehousing, yet the quality of our product is second to none, utilising the best craft, boutique and specialist manufacturers from across the globe to produce and deliver direct to the consumer, ON DEMAND. 2. BRINGING THE VIRTUAL TO THE TANGIBLE Taking sharable content and placing within tangible products. Imagine a world where the video moments and memories currently shared by millions on Social Media platforms can be placed within consumer products. Our first example of this is the launch of our video greeting card where a physical card contains a personal video message from the sender.
What is our business model?
Each product is created on our platform, we acquire the rights to brands (where applicable) and our in-house creative team creates the artwork along with a network of independent artists. When a customer purchases from our site, we take 100% of the money on our payment gateway. We handpick the leading, most advanced and highest quality producers of products so that each supplier is a specialist in the product/item they produce. There is no “one size fits all” with our model, only specialist and high quality suppliers are on-boarded as part of an exclusive production network. Our system sends the order to the nearest approved, licensed manufacturing centre and they print and ship the product in our branding and packaging to the consumer. We hold NO stock, warehouse or production equipment but operate a network of approved contracted production centres, therefore, despite boasting over 100,000+ product combinations on our stores, we profit from every sale made across our platforms.
Who Does Our Business Model Work for?
1. THE MANUFACTURER - enables smaller but specialist niche producers to grow their business and gain traction with newer, more advanced methods + machinery 2. THE LICENSOR - can expand their portfolio assets beyond the restrictions of the wholesale model. In a world where shelf space isn't an issue but fans are directly connected. 3. THE CONSUMER - more choice of the products they want, in a style that resonates with them not the wholesaler, along with next-generation customisation options making things more personal.
Who are Merchmaker.com's target audience?
