What community organizers and queer-owned business owners actually ask.
Will you print sponsor merch for any company that pays?
No. We turn down sponsor and ally-program orders for businesses we judge to be performative-only — companies that paint logos rainbow in June and lobby against community interests the rest of the year. Our community customers stay with us because of that line, not in spite of it."
We're a Pride board with limited budget — can you work with us?
Yes. Community-org pricing is structured to make this work; in-kind donation structures and reduced-margin community pricing available for genuine community partners. We don't run a charity, but we don't mark up Pride events to the rates we charge corporate clients either."
Can we get supplier sourcing prioritized to queer-owned manufacturers?
Where the SKU exists, yes. Queer-owned and community-supportive vendors are prioritized in supplier routing. Where they don't exist (and for many product categories they unfortunately don't), we'll say so and route through the most aligned available option."
Do you handle Trans Day of Remembrance and memorial program merch?
Yes, and with appropriate care. Memorial-program runs are handled by reps who understand what these days represent. No awkward conversations about typeface choice on a memorial pin."
Can our community center run year-round programs with locked pricing?
Yes. Annual contracts with locked per-piece pricing standard for community centers, nonprofit advocacy orgs, and queer-owned businesses. Pride season demand doesn't move your pricing."
What's the smallest run you'll do for a queer-owned business retail line?
Twenty-four pieces on apparel, lower on engraved goods. For a queer- owned business getting started, we'll show you where bulk pricing starts to make sense versus what's worth doing as a smaller test run."
