CES DISTRIBUTORS MEETING

ABOUT US
BUILT AT A GLANCE
Aaron and John begin researching materials best
suited for a wine tote. Since they’re both running
their own businesses—Aaron designing fashion
accessories and John designing furniture—this
research takes a year.
2003
The “A-ha!” moment arrives when Aaron and
John create a prototype from neoprene. Surfers
no longer have an exclusive on the protective,
insulating properties of this material. Added
bonus—endless color and graphic pattern
options. BUILT is born.
2002
Aaron Lown and John Roscoe Swartz,
collaborators since their days at Cranbrook
Academy of Art, design a wine satchel for the
sales staff of a friend’s wine importing company.
The result is a beautiful, intricately made
satchel in Italian leather that serves its purpose
but is very expensive to reproduce.
ORIGINAL LEATHER
WINE SATCHEL SKETCH
The project piques their interest
in wine carriers. The two ponder
how to create an affordable
and functional wine tote that
incorporates their design
standards to make everyday life
more enjoyable.
Having run their own businesses prior to BUILT
proves to be very beneficial. In addition to
designing product and creating a business
plan, the guys take on the roles of sales and
distribution, marketing and public relations,
shipping and receiving, and anything else that
comes up on a day-to-day basis.
2004
SIX PACK TOTE
In a move to satisfy the suds-loving
half of the population, BUILT
designs the Six Pack Tote. Beer
drinkers rejoice at the prospect of
cold beer on the go.
The BUILT Two Bottle Tote is the winner of the
coveted Gold award in Business Week's annual
Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA),
the premier international competition honoring
design excellence.
By the end of the year the first BUILT tote is
spotted on the streets of New York City.
2005
THIRSTY TOTES
Aaron and John each have kids,
and are inspired by the One and Two
Bottle Totes to create a miniature
version for baby bottles. This results
in the Thirsty Bottle Totes, and
parents everywhere—especially John
and Aaron’s wives—are delighted.
BUILT debuts the One and Two Bottle Wine
Tote at the New York International Gift Fair—
pandemonium ensues as buyers from MoMA
to Fred Segal rush the booth like bridesto-be at a Vera Wang sample sale.
BUILT sells its one millionth tote! The
company moves into an office in Soho, and
also signs a lease on a 16,000 square foot
warehouse.
In just two days the BUILT team
has over $100,000 in orders for the
two products. It’s an exhilarating
experience the guys will never forget.
Again?! BUILT is honored with its second
prestigious Gold award in Business Week's
annual Industrial Design Excellence Awards
(IDEA) for its Lunch Tote.

BUILT AT A GLANCE
2006
GOURMET GETAWAY
LAPTOP SLEEVE
The Gourmet Getaway Lunch Tote
makes an auspicious debut—and
unlike those brown bags, you’ll want
to use this one over and over again.
Bringing your lunch to work or school
just got a whole lot cooler.
BUILT introduces its iconic Laptop
Sleeves with a proprietary hourglass
design. Business travelers and urban
nomads rejoice at the stylish options
to choose from when taking their
laptops on the road.
John and Aaron take their first vacations in
three years. Separately.
2007
2008
BUILT partners with French Bull, and pairs
their bold and graphic patterns with four of
BUILT’s best-selling products. The result—killer
combinations destined for greatness.
FRENCHBULL COLLECTION
BUILT sells its seven millionth tote!
2009
BUILT debuts the second generation of
the Original Wine Totes with the debut
of the Fishnet Wine Totes. Toting wine
around just got sexy.
The BUILT design team brings form, function,
and fun together with the debut of the Hoodie
Camera Case. Shutterbugs praise the smart new
way to carry their digital cameras.
HOODIE
BUILT expands the laptop line with
the debut of the Laptop Portfolio—a
sleek way to transport your computer
around town or around the world.
BUILT makes it onto Oprah’s “O
List”. Finally.
BUILT products are sold in
more than 50 countries, and
in more than 10,000 retail
outlets worldwide.
BUILT ends the year on a high note with the
debut of the Alexander Girard Collection,
featuring five new products using three
classic Girard patterns. BUILT is thrilled to
pair the colorful mid-century modern designs
of Girard—one of the greatest colorists,
pattern makers, environmental and exhibition
with its own
designers of the 20th century
century—with
classic 21st century products.

the menu.
The camera line expands with the debut
of the Cargo Camera Bags and Soft Shell
Camera Cases. Whether you’re a budding
Ansel Adams or if point-and-shoot is
more your style, BUILT has a solution for
transporting your camera around.

NEW YORK CITY
We love great design, and believe that it makes
everyday life better. And for design to be great,
it has to be different—which means you have to
think differently. There’s no sense in repeating
what’s already out there.
New York City allows us to be different, and to
think differently. That’s why BUILT calls New
York home, and why so many of our friends—
who are artists, designers, and part of the
creative community—also call the city home.
Our designs are based on simplicity and a
passion for materials. We design products that
we need, that our friends will use, and that
make everyday life more enjoyable.

NEW GIRARD COLLECTION
Alexander Girard (1907-1993) is one of the greatest colorists,
pattern makers, environmental and exhibition designers of the
20th century. BUILT and Girard are likeminded in their design
philosophy, and love of applying colors and patterns for organic
shapes – a perfect fit for a collaboration.
Using three classic Girard patterns – La Fonda, January, and
Retrospective – BUILT has designed five new products
specifically for this collection. Uniting 21st century design
with colorful mid-century modern patterns has resulted
in products that look as smart as they function.

BUILT & BYO
WHO, WHAT, WHY
•
•
BUILT is for the better retailer in all territories— from
specialty stores to department stores that can manage and
support the brand strategy.
PRICING AND SALES STRATEGY
•
On Average between like products BYO offers the mass
customer a 15 to 20% savings over the BUILT Line.
•
BYO offers you a design collection for the Mass retailer.
Not to be compared to an OEM product line, but as a “step
up” for the mass retailers to offer.
•
Strategy in 2010 will be to identify the top retailers for this
project and to work together to offer them the range.
BYO is for mass retailers such as supermarkets and
hypermarkets. BYO delivers the functional qualities of the
BUILT line at a lower price point.
PLACEMENT STRATEGY
•
One brand, one retailer—BUILT and BYO cannot be placed
together at any one retailer.
•
Separating the two brands by type of retailer will eliminate
confusion as to where each brand belongs in your marketplace.
33
MARKET SEGMENTATION
RACK & PLANOGRAM PROGRAMS
•
Developing programs customized for your
customers needs, and a new rack strategy
for global use.
•
Rack prototypes available at the BUILT
booth for your review.
•
All future requests for customization with
racks and graphics should come through
the sales manager responsible for your territory.

insurance on your account. This will allow us to offer you
payment terms for future shipments and is done on a case
by case basis.

LOGISTICS

from our China warehouse location.

basis to utilize our US warehouse to fulfill your order.

43
INTERNATIONAL FORECASTING PROCEDURE
Forecasting is a tool that can help improve BUILT’s
abilities to deliver the many products we offer to you
in a timely fashion.
You know your marketplace best, so we need your
help in predicting the future, and collectively
managing a forecast.
Specifically we ask that you forward on a monthly
basis a six (6) month forward-looking forecast. Each
consecutive month you will forward the forecast on
the 15th of that month. For example, the February
2010 forecast is due on January 15, 2010, and
covers the period from February through July 2010.
By actively participating in the forecast, we at BUILT
will strive to manufacture and keep appropriate unit
inventory levels, so we can fill your orders on short
notice. Should you choose not to participate, our
ability to fulfill your orders is not guaranteed.
44
PARTNERSHIP AND COMMUNICATION
Communication is key to our continued success!
As our distributor and partner, we are looking to you for
market-specific sales strategies, product market intelligence,
and trend insight to assist in on-going product development.
In 2010, we are asking for communication on a bi-weekly
basis, between you and your sales manager. We will give
you all the tools you need to succeed, but without proper
feedback we will be unable to refine those tools to fit your
marketplace.
We would like to meet with each individual distributor at CES
to discuss 2010 sales strategy, and how we can help you
meet your 2010 goals.
