The Dash Tiles playbook.
Every custom set starts with one person and a place. What happens next is the fun part: school fundraisers, pro shop shelves, client gifts, whole little businesses. Find the play that fits your people.
The community plays
No storefront needed. One organizer with fifty sets, or a stack of mats, can fund a school year, crown a reunion, or give the whole street a reason to host.
Your PTA
PTAs, booster clubs, team parents
A custom mat in the school colors with the mascot front and center. The PTA sells them at whatever price feels right, and the difference goes straight to the school. It beats wrapping paper by a mile, and bigger schools can go all the way to a full set.
The move: buy mats at wholesale, sell them at your price, bank the difference for the school.
Your alma mater
Reunion committees, sorority alums, tailgate crews
The bell tower, the fight song, the stadium snack: campus becomes a set. A committee collects fifty pre-orders as the class gift, and everyone goes home with the same inside jokes in tile form.
The move: fifty pre-orders from the reunion list, and the gift pays for itself.
Your summer place
Lake crews, beach rows, culs-de-sac
One ringleader, fifty sets, a whole summer of material. Collect the crew across the houses and docks, split the order, and your stretch of shoreline gets its own line.
The move: one ringleader gathers the crew's fifty, and every porch gets a set.
The business plays
You buy at wholesale and you set the retail. What happens in between is up to you: stock a shop, spoil your clients, or build a little tile empire.
Your club
Country clubs, golf and racquet clubs
A members-only set with the crest on the joker and the 18th green as a wind. Stock the pro shop with something no one can get anywhere else, or make it the tournament prize people actually want.
The move: the club buys fifty at wholesale, and the shop prices them however it likes.
Your storefront
Boutiques, bookshops, gift shops
Stock the set your town would recognize anywhere. We design it around your place, and yours becomes the only shelf that has it. Locals grab it for game night, and visitors take a piece of the town home.
The move: exclusive stock of your town's set. Reorder when the shelf goes empty.
Your brand
Brands, firms, realtors
Your product in the dots, your headquarters as a dragon, your logo on the joker. Companies order a set as the gift that never gets regifted: client thank-yous, employee milestones, and the closing gift realtors get remembered for.
The move: one order, designed once, remembered for years.
Start your own line.
The Dash Tiles began exactly this way: two friends, one hometown, fifty sets. We took preorders until the first run was spoken for, sold them ourselves and through a few local shelves, and once the business found its legs we started keeping stock on hand.
Commission your town's set
Fifty sets at wholesale, drawn around the place you know best.
Start with preorders
Friends first, then the bookshop and the boutique. Sell direct, sell into stores, or both.
Grow into stock on hand
Once it's moving, keep inventory and reorder. You set the retail and keep the margin.
How the money works
One flat design fee, one simple per-set rate.
Price it for your shelf, your gala, your people.
Everything past wholesale stays with you or your cause.
It starts with your place.
