Linton’s proprietary solution for DTC brands to elevate their operational infrastructure, reduce storage costs and deliver quality product. XDTC will help your brand:
XDTC is a one-of-a-kind service, found only at Linton Group.
Say goodbye to minimum order quantity (MOQ) and hello to minimum annual quantity (MAQ).
While MOQs lock you down to ordering a set minimum number of items per order, MAQ provides the freedom of no MOQ required, but instead an annual order requirement over a 12 month span.
This allows you to choose personalizable items from our catalog of best selling products with an MAQ commitment for the entire year.
With XDTC by Linton, there’s no longer a need to overstaff your operations and fulfillment departments or stock inventory of your brand’s personalized product offerings.
All items offered through the XDTC program are manufactured, stocked, decorated, and shipped to the end consumer by Linton Group.
Once you select your brand’s XDTC items from our catalog of best selling products, you’ll have a yearly MAQ for each sku, and no MOQ.
You’ll pay for the products after your brand receives the funds from your customers.
While a traditional product development & launch requires a long and time consuming timeline to bring to market, XDTC will have your new items available to the public in a matter of days… not weeks, months or years.
The personalization of items in your e-comerce store creates an emotional connection between you and your consumers, creating customer loyalty that will last a lifetime.
Traditionally, adding personalization to your existing or new products to your brand’s catalog includes months of operational work including sourcing, finding the right manufacturer, negotiating minimum order quantities, and finding the right vendor to add your customer’s personalized information to the products, all while maintaining a reasonable lead time for delivery to your customers.
XDTC by Linton Group is here to manage this entire process, so you don’t have to.
Linton will work with you to develop products that are ideal for personalization & align with your customer’s interests while upholding the quality standards that your brand is known for. Our extensive knowledge and background in product development and manufacturing allows us to offer 1000+ unique personalized product options.
Top examples of best selling personalized items include jewelry, pet supplies, apparel & soft goods, kitchenware, office products, electronics and luggage.
Once we have a clear understanding of your business objectives and target market, our team dives into the conceptualization and product development. We combine our industry knowledge, market research, and creative expertise to develop a compelling product concept that aligns with your brand and resonates with your target audience.
The creation of a physical prototype is a crucial step in the product development process. It allows us to test the design, gather valuable feedback, and make necessary improvements before moving forward with manufacturing. This prototype serves as a tangible representation of the design & product personalization and allows us to assess its functionality, ergonomics, and overall feasibility. By combining craftsmanship and modern manufacturing techniques, we can create a prototype that accurately represents the final product.
Through comprehensive functional and non-functional testing, we can identify and address any issues, bugs, or usability concerns, resulting in a high-quality product that offers an exceptional user experience. By emphasizing testing throughout the development lifecycle, we demonstrate our commitment to delivering products that consistently meet the needs and expectations of our customers.
Once the XDTC prototypes are approved, Linton will utilize our state of the art API to capture orders through your direct to consumer website. When a customer places an online order, we’ll receive the order details including specific SKU, personalization details, and the customer’s shipping address.
Your personalized product orders are manufactured, personalized and shipped directly to your customer with your brand’s packaging and return address, all within 10-14 business days.
