Every now and again I hear about Etsy sellers who have scored licensing deals. One such seller is Becky from PoshDots, teacher, artist and mother of three, who was kind enough to take time away from her very busy schedule to do an interview with me. She describes how the company approached her and struck a deal to have her design for her children’s item manufactured.
Hi Becky! First off, how do you handle your shop, your kids, your teaching job and the licensing deal? Any time management tips?
I fly by the seat of my pants. With three kids, a schedule is worthless. I don’t know from one minute to the next what challenge will face me. The last time I had the house to myself, the phone rang. My oldest had caught a softball in his mouth, and his lip was mashed into his braces (which were put on that same day!). We ended up in the ER. There is always drama here!
Becky with her daughter.
Tell us about your items and describe your licensing deal.
Posh Dots specializes in handpainted wooden letters and matching accessories. The bulk of my business comes from the letters. The licensing company, Dish & Spoon Productions, will use many of my designs on a variety of children’s products, including canvas wall hangings, growth charts, night lights, and name banners, to name a few.
How did the company find you?
I asked them the same thing! They found me right here on Etsy. The company has a staff member who seeks out new, fresh artwork. They contacted me several months ago with the proposal, and I was shocked. Considering all of the wonderful talent here and the fact that they only add two artists per year, I feel like the needle in the haystack!
What’s the appeal of doing a licensing deal?
The biggest appeal is knowing that someone really appreciated my work enough to want to reproduce it. It is truly an honor. With three young children and teaching full time, my painting hours are very limited. With this opportunity, more children can enjoy my work.
How did Etsy play a role in what has happened? Do you have any suggestions for other ways Etsy could help?
I would say Etsy played a huge role. I doubt I would have been “discovered” without having my shop here. Maybe offer suggestions for legal counseling or finding an agent?
Had you done any wholesale orders before?
I have not done any other wholesale orders. I am approached weekly by boutique owners wanting to carry my letters, but I am so overwhelemed with business from my own shop that I have turned them all down. I am currently in the process of developing a few new products that will be available for wholesale. The products designed by Dish & Spoon Productions will also be available wholesale.
Did you do any research or can you link us to any information that helped inform your decision to say yes to the deal?
I have two books that have lots of good info: Licensing Art and Design: A Professional’s Guide to Licensing and Royalty Agreements
Becky’s home studio.
What are your plans for your Etsy shop? Will you now use it to sell your handmade prototypes or more limited run (handmade by you) items? Will you use Etsy a place to continue to experiment with new products?
Right now, I am planning on taking the shop in a slightly new direction. I want to add more ready-to-ship items and personalized items that are less time consuming. I also want to move towards more teen and adult designs. I’ve considered canvas reproductions, but I don’t want to compete with myself and the products made by D&S! My wheels are always turning…so keep an eye out for new and exciting products. And possibly a new shop with a totally different line of products.
Do you have any advice for sellers who are interested in getting licensing deals?
I wish I had some great words of wisdom on how to land a licensing deal, but this came out of nowhere. I had considered hiring an agent, but never did. If you are serious about getting your work reproduced, that may be an avenue. If, like me, you want to leave it in the hands of fate, keep your work fresh and exciting. Take great pics and set up a shop that is cohesive. KISS: Keep it simple, stupid!
If possible, get a small advance in royalties. As of now, I’ve put several hundred hours into creating sample pieces and have seen nothing in return. I knew what to expect from the beginning, but it’s tough staying motivated. I know I need to be patient… It will pay off!
Becky hard at work.
Do you think there’s something about your item that lends itself to a licensing deal?
My work is very colorful and fun. The designs are simple, clean and fresh. I love mixing patterns, which seems to be a hot concept right now.
What stage of the process are you in now? How does it feel?
Right now, everything is still in the production stage. I have not seen any of the final pieces yet. I’m very anxious to see what they are doing with my work. D&S is preparing to launch the products in September at the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas. I will have something final soon.
Do you get credited on the final packaging of the items the company sells?
Yes, my signature, BSBowen, will be on all of the products. That’s very exciting!
What is important about “handmade” for you and your business?
With my business being custom work, I feel it must be handmade. Painting is my passion. If I couldn’t be working with my hands and mind, I would go crazy! This business allows me to do both and to create something truly unique for my clients. I’ve often asked in the Etsy Forums about pricing, time management, etc., and many will offer advice on how to change my product line by offering more ready-made items. But, somehow ready-made and custom just don’t work together in my mind. I love the design process, working directly with the buyer and creating something just for them.
Was there anything in the contract that you felt strongly about and made a point of negotiating? or if it hadn’t been in the contract, you would have pushed for it?
I wanted to able to have the final word on the products, and I wanted to have my signature on my pieces. I also wanted to maintain copyrights to my designs. It was all in there exactly as I wished.
Were you concerned as to whether this was legit? did you have anyone review the licensing contract?
There were a few times when I wondered what I had gotten into! But, after many conversations with the owner and seeing their products on several top ranking sites featuring children’s products, I feel good about the decision. My very cautious husband reviewed the contract.
Can you share with us any highlights or how much more money in proportion to your income? (No worries if this is too personal!)
It may not seem like much in California or New York, but in the backwoods of Virginia, the estimate they gave me is huge. If the estimate turns out to be correct, it will top my teaching salary…not bad.
What does this licensing deal mean for your business?
I don’t know yet! It has the potential of surpassing my teaching salary. (Of course, that won’t be hard to do!) But, I have quite a wish list:
1) Operate Posh Dots full time
2) Put on an addition to our home
3) Travel
4) Save
5) Use extra income to start up another business
(I am always dreaming up ideas for new products — some handmade, some mass produced.)
My biggest dream…buy a beach house!
I may have to pick just one from this list.
Posh Dots, we here at Etsy wish you luck and will continue to watch for your latest items! Visit her website poshdotsstudio.com and PoshDots Etsy shop.

Congratulations Becky! I did my first licensing agreement last year. I would recommend the following book - "Licensing Photography" by Richard Weisgrau and Victor S. Perlman. It was very helpful in understanding the entire process. But I also would recommend getting an attorney just to make sure the contract is in the artist's best interests. Good luck!

Fantastic, Becky! I'm happy for you and hope this is just the beginning of great success. Great tips, too. I was repeatedly contacted by a company that wanted me to 'collaborate' and provide both patterns and duplicate samples of several of my most popular designs, all without any compensation or contract! They refused the licensing option and denied I owned my copyrights. Amazing but absolutely true. Artists/artisans/designers, be wary of of slick offers. There are folks out there who want something (in my case, everything) for nothing. Do your homework. Stay alert.

I attended the National Stationery Show and was approached by a company in the UK that wanted to license some of my cards. After talking to him and researching the company online, I decided to go for it. Since I only receive royalties quarterly, I haven't received any money yet, but I only had to email them the designs, so I didn't have to put that much time into it. I'll receive my first check in October and then find out if it was worth it.
