For most riders, Motocal is a place to design graphics for their own bike, kart, ATV or other vehicle. You open the platform, create something that suits your style, place the order and get the finished graphics delivered.
But there is another group using Motocal in a very different way.
These are designers who create graphics for other riders, racers, teams and businesses. Some might design a few kits for friends and local riders. Others work with customers regularly, and for some, custom graphics can become a real business.
If you feel you are a Pro Designer and would like to be included, please email Max at max@graphics.motocal.com and detail your design/business history.
Motocal Pro Designer
A Motocal Pro Designer is someone who uses the Motocal platform to create graphics kits for other people, rather than only designing for their own vehicle.
This could be an independent designer taking on custom projects, someone already running a graphics or motorsports business, or a designer who has simply become good enough with the platform that other riders are willing to pay for their help.
The important part is that the designer remains in control of their own business.
Pro Designers find and manage their own customers, decide what they want to charge and work directly with those customers on the design. Motocal provides the platform and takes care of the production side once the design is ready.
That creates a pretty simple setup. You focus on the customer and the design. Motocal helps turn that design into the finished product.
From a Design Skill to Paid Work
You do not necessarily need to start with the idea of building a full graphics company.
A lot can begin with simply getting good at designing.
You might create your own kit, learn how to use the Motocal platform properly, and then help a friend with theirs. From there, another rider might ask you to create something. Over time, those individual projects can turn into regular paid design work.
As a Pro Designer, you decide how that works commercially. Motocal does not decide what you charge your customers. Your Pro Designer pricing with Motocal is separate from the price you agree with your customer, so you can build your own pricing structure around your design service.
For someone who wants to take it further, this also creates the possibility of building a graphics business without having to build the entire production operation around it.
Motocal Handles the Production Side
Designing a great kit is one part of the job. Producing it consistently is another.
Printing, materials, checking artwork, packaging, shipping and dealing with orders can quickly turn a design business into something much more complicated.
The Pro Designer model allows designers to use Motocal as both their design and production platform.
Once an order is placed, Motocal handles the production process. Orders also receive Motocal’s Design Check and Perfect Logo Service, and designers are kept updated through the order, production and delivery process. Finished graphics are then shipped worldwide.
This means a designer can spend more of their time actually designing and working with customers without having to build a separate manufacturing and fulfillment operation.
More Support as You Grow
The program is also designed to become more useful as a designer starts doing more business through Motocal.
Pro Designers receive permanent discounts, with better pricing available as order volume grows. They can build kits with as many decals as a project requires under the same order, receive priority treatment and benefit from free shipping on qualifying orders.
Motocal also shares more advanced platform guidance with Pro Designers to help them get more from the Editor and improve how they work.
There is another potential benefit too. Selected Pro Designers can be considered for Motocal’s Pro Designer Affiliate network, where customers who come to Motocal looking for professional design help can be connected with designers in the program.
For a designer trying to build a customer base, those opportunities can help turn occasional design work into something much more regular.
How to Become a Motocal Pro Designer
If you are already creating graphics for other riders or customers, joining the program is straightforward.
Motocal asks prospective Pro Designers to get in touch and provide some information about their design or business history. The team can then review the application and discuss the program with you.
You do not need to be running a huge graphics company. The program is aimed at people who are genuinely using their design skills to create graphics for others and want to develop that further.
For some designers, that might mean earning extra money from something they already enjoy doing. For others, it could become a regular stream of customer projects or even the foundation of their own custom graphics business.
The designer brings creativity, customer relationships and the service.
Motocal provides the platform, production capability and delivery infrastructure needed to turn those designs into finished graphics.
And that means you can concentrate on becoming a better designer and growing your customer base, while Motocal takes care of getting the finished product from the screen to the machine. If you have any questions regarding this program, just contact max@graphics.motocal.com with your questions.
