DROP FRAMEWORK

WHAT MUST COME TOGETHER

Plan the release as a complete buying experience.

DROP QUESTIONS

Clarify the model before promoting it.

Does a drop have to be available for only a short time?

No. “Limited” can refer to the quantity, ordering window, collection or campaign. The exact model should be communicated accurately.

Can LS Custom build the online ordering experience?

Store options may be available depending on project fit. Products, payments, ordering window and fulfillment responsibilities are defined during planning.

How early should planning begin?

It depends on products, artwork, quantity, production method and delivery requirements. Share the target date early so feasibility can be reviewed.
