1. Why does ETR AMERICA create Independent Graphic Designer program?

Because our company originates from South Korea, we do not have a full understanding of the US market. We want to reflect American culture into our product by cooperating with designers who are familiar with US culture and market. In return, we will share 30% of the margin with independent graphic designers we choose to work with. They will be responsible for designing marketable logs and images which we will produce and advertise.

2. How do I calculate my commission?

We provide dealer pricing list for all standard models. You decide the selling price for your own products. For example, let’s say that a dealer price of PNS2020 is $150.00. A standard PNS has three standard colors on a specified size. If you add additional colors, the price will be increased by $30 per color. We don't recommend using more than ten colors per PNS. Assuming that you decide to sell your PNS as $200 (MSRP $270) without additional colors (any applicable tax and shipping costs will be added), your profit margin will be $50.00 (($200 - $150 = $50). After deducting the credit card processing fee, which is calculated at four percent of the selling price, your commission becomes twelve (12) dollars and sixty (60) cents (($50 - $8) x 30% = $12.60).

3. Could I make extra commission on PNS selling?

Yes. We provide two ways of selling for extra commission.

First, you can be our online affiliate member. If you join on our website, you can have access to our affiliate area. You can create your product banner for a website. Please put this code into a website. If we sell a PNS through your website, we will give you 2% commission of the selling price. Hence, you will receive an additional four (4) dollars ($200 x 2% = $4) to your sale, given as an example in item number three above.

Second, we will provide our PNS to you with dealer cost. So you can sell PNS at your store. Add your margin above the dealer cost. All margins are yours. (No finance available with an Independent graphic designer.)

4. Who holds the copyright to the product?

Basically, the copyright of an image will be held by you, the designer, for one year. Copyright of the product will be held by ETR. However, after a one year period all copyright will be held by ETR. If you pay an annual membership of one hundred (100) dollars, you can retain all rights for one full year. Remember that the first year is free.
