We're proud to welcome you to one of the most creative and
prolific sites on the Internet. Simply put, bCreative is a
"marketplace for ideas". A place where original
designs and concepts are licensed onto every type of consumer
product, from T-shirts to posters, calendars to greeting cards,
key rings to caps. The opportunities are endless.
Creative People-Don't Let Great Ideas Go To Waste
For
creative people, there's never been a place where you can make
money off of your ideas and concepts, without fear of being
ripped off. Now, through the bCreative website, submissions
coming from creative individuals flow directly to reputable
manufacturers. The decision makers with these top-notch firms
regularly conduct on-line searches on the bCreative site for
designs and concepts that can add value to their products. When
they find something that they like, the manufacturers are able
to instantly license the idea for use on their products. The
manufacturer pays bCreative a royalty based on sales of the
licensed products. That royalty is then split with the creative
person. It couldn't be easier.
For the protection of our creative talent, submissions can only
be viewed by registered and approved manufacturers, and records
are kept of all manufacturers who view the ideas. Never before
has there been such a safe, easy way for creative people to earn
significant royalties with minimum effort and risk.

Manufacturers-Discover That Next Great Design
For
manufacturers, this is the first time the power of the Internet
can be used to find top creative designs and concepts. Through a
sophisticated search engine, you can review hundreds of original
designs at your leisure. Plus, once you've established a
licensing relationship with bCreative, adding new designs is
quick and painless-without any of the usual hassles of
negotiating new licenses. For your convenience, bCreative
handles all contact with creatives, including their royalty
payments.
That's only half the story, too. In addition to discovering
exciting new ideas, bCreative also offers you access to our pool
of creative people to work on your in-house projects. That's
right. A world-class, virtual creative department is now at your
disposal! Manufacturers simply provide bCreative with project
information and a specific request, and bCreative sends the
information to a select group of creatives... on a confidential
bulletin board, or through targeted email broadcasts. The
creatives then submit ideas, and the manufacturer is able to
review them online-all in the strictest confidence.

about licensee participation.
bCreative Is Only Available To Registered Members
For
the protection of all the members of the bCreative community,
all business conducted through the bCreative site is password
protected and traceable through the use of individual ID numbers
for both the creative talent who submit ideas, and the
manufacturers who review them. Both parties must register, be
evaluated and accepted by bCreative, and agree to all terms and
conditions before they become active members of the bCreative
community.
Where Do Creative Submissions Come From?
Creative
submissions come primarily from two types of individuals:
recruits and walk-ons. bCreative actively recruits top creative
talent like advertising copywriters and comedy writers. These
creative people have a wealth of great ideas that, for any
number of reasons, usually never find their way onto consumer
products. bCreative offers them a safe, easy way to get these
ideas in front of the right people.
Why do they participate? It's simple. It's an additional outlet
for their creativity, and a chance to potentially earn a great
deal of money-all without interfering with their "real
job". Of course, success is not guaranteed, but it's not
out of the question for a creative person who has several hot
licensed designs to make a very good living from royalty
payments alone.
The "walk-on" creative people come from all types of
backgrounds, some creative, some not. bCreative truly offers
them a "level" playing field, since all submissions
are displayed anonymously, (using only the creative person's ID
number). If a manufacturer sees an idea they want, they are
willing to license it, whether it came from a world famous
advertising copywriter or a stay-at-home mom.
Regarding submissions, bCreative asks only that the designs be
mocked up in a simple, easy-to-understand form. Although
finished artwork can make the submission more marketable, it is
not necessary. (Many manufacturers actually prefer to create
their own final art.) Besides, some of bCreative best designs
have been sold based solely on rough sketches, or even simple
written descriptions. If a creative person is not comfortable
producing their own sketches, bCreative can create it for them
at a nominal charge.
