I built the Timbuk2.com bag customizer (http://timbuk2.com/customizer http://timbuk2.com/customizer) and I would say that 50% of their business is on the custom side. People are playing with the product and often they surprise us. Timbuk2 ends up charging a premium for the custom bag, but it a unique bag.
Same applies to Nikeid or adidas or converse or ... A lot of people are trying to build custom products and let the consumer get access to their manufacture, but it is not as simple as it sounds. There are, as in all things, a lot of moving pieces and enough rope to hang yourself.
- listic 11y agoThanks for the tip re: Timbuk2. They are offering a bike share if you leave your driver's license and CC as a guarantee. I really wouldn't want to leave my CC; I wonder if this is legal.
- flashman 11y agoThat's a really cool customizer. Good job.
- jakejake 11y agoCool looking customizer - nice work! I created a super simple product customizer that allowed users to slap their logo on promotional products (similar to cafe press, but a few years before that). Even with that ridiculously limited set of options it was a challenging project, so kudos to you on the bag customizer.
