3 Steps to Sell your Product on Seeed with Ease
You’ve probably heard of the Seeed Fusion Marketplace, the new online store for creators to sell their products manufactured and fulfilled by Seeed. Today we are so excited to introduce the first product on Seeed’s Fusion Marketplace.
The 40-pin Raspberry Pi hat adapter board was born because one of Seeed’s staff (Lion Kong) wanted to connect ReSpeaker and Wio Terminal in a more convenient way for his personal project. It is perfect to help cut off all the unnecessary clunky DuPont cables.
Lion found that his simple but practical design was transferable to many other applications and boards, not just the ReSpeaker Pi Hat. However, it is not that easy to turn that into Seeed’s official products. But still, he believes it will be helpful to makers like him. He decided to sell on his own, but he did not want to handle the hassle of manufacture and dispatch. This is where the Seeed Fusion Marketplace came in.
Seeed Fusion’s new platform seemed to meet his needs exactly, so Lion decided to give it a try. He registered as a user and put his product on the Seeed Fusion Marketplace without a penny of effort. He has the first pilot run of 100 pieces and 23 pieces were sold on the first day when the product was launched, which was quite unexpected!
It is not a lot of money but it inspired other makers in Shenzhen, showing them that there is a way to help turn their design into a product and sell to the community all over the world without all the hassle of manufacturing and dispatch.
