2 – Games, Contests, Activities and Jubilee Points
The activities, games and contests are divided in 2 sections:
1) The “Joint Business” Games and
2) The Instagram Games.
2.1 The Joint Business Games
2.1.1 The Bulang Think Tank
Customers of Bulang and Sons have the option to join our "Bulang Think Tank." We highly value the opinions of our customers as we navigate various challenges, such as decisions regarding suppliers, products, and business investments.
We engage our Bulang Think Tank members digitally, presenting them with these challenges, opportunities, and debates through questionnaires, design mockups, and polls. Each challenge is termed a "Business Case," which we distribute via email to our Bulang Think Tank members along with a closing deadline.
The number of Jubilee Points awarded to participants varies depending on the complexity and time commitment of each Business Case, typically ranging from 25 to 300 Jubilee Points. Members can then choose whether to participate in a given Business Case before the announced deadline.
(Still under development: In future cases, we may offer Think Tank Members investment opportunities similar to crowdfunding related to these Business Cases, or provide discounted pre-order options for a limited time on new products presented to the Think Tank Members.)
2.1.2 ‘Co-Design your personal strap’ Contest
In spring 2024 (expected April or May), Bulang and Sons will launch an exciting contest where customers can unleash their creativity by designing their own ultimate watch strap. Participants will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of options including special fabrics or leathers, different strap types (such as vintage, NATO, boxed-stitched, racing, etc.), stitching options and colors, as well as additional special features.
Here's how the contest will unfold:
1. Submission Phase: Customers will upload their mood boards along with optional written comments before the announced deadline.
2. Selection of Top Ideas: The top three designs will be chosen.
3. Feedback and Production: The selected customers will receive feedback, including technical optimization and possibilities. Upon agreement, the watch straps will be taken into production.
4. Naming and Recognition: Each winning design will be given the name of its designer. For example, if the designer's name is John McMillan, the strap will be called "The John McMillan Black Leather Racing Strap."
5. Royalties:
The designers of the winning straps will receive 10% royalties on the sales of their strap for 12 months following its publication.
Participants in the contest will earn 125 Jubilee Points, and an additional 50 Jubilee Points will be awarded to each of the three winners.
This contest promises to be an exciting opportunity for our customers to showcase their creativity and design talents, while also offering the chance for recognition and royalties for the winning designs.
