Welcome to HotButtonMerch
HotButtonMerch is a brand created by Cadmus Publishing, with the purpose of empowering incarcerated individuals by transforming their hand-drawn designs into digital artwork that can be reproduced on a wide range of products. This initiative not only allows them to showcase their creativity but also gives them a platform to share their work with the world.
How it Works
1. Design Submission
Incarcerated artists send us their hand-drawn designs.
2. Digital Transformation
Our skilled graphics department converts these designs into digital files suitable for product reproduction.
3. Product Creation
These digital designs are then printed on various products, such as apparel, accessories, and more.
4. Social Sharing
Designers can share product mock-ups with friends and family, who can post them on social media.
5. Set Prices and Tell Stories
Designers set their own prices and provide personal descriptions to accompany their products, sharing their stories and experiences.
6. Order Facilitation
HBM handles all aspects of order processing, customer service, and fulfillment.
7. Earning Royalties
For every sale made, the designer earns a royalty, providing them with a tangible benefit from their creative efforts. This initiative not only fosters artistic expression but also contributes to financial empowerment and a sense of achievement.
