DECOYS

---

First, you have to contact me.

Phone or email is just fine.

It's helpful to know the following coming into the conversation:

1. What you plan to do with these decoys
2. Design features you're interested in 
3. How many you want to order and your budget 

Then the work begins (on my end).

First I make what I call the "initial mold."

This initial mold is your unique decoy in one piece.

Before proceeding to the next step, I can:

• Confirm your satisfaction via pictures and video

or

• Send a solid foam replica of your decoy (fee applies)

Look Good?

- from here there's no turning back -

Then I make a "master mold series" of your unique decoy.

This is one of the unique features of Deed & Glory decoys.

See "Features & Options" for information on the process.

From this master mold series, I can produce and reproduce your decoy.

It's tedious, it's time consuming, and it's awesome.

Then I produce your flock.

Incredible materials. CRAZY detail. 

And your 100% unique custom decoys.

Package. Ship.

Drool.

What goes into the quote?

You want a quote, right?

• Startup Cost
• Pre-Production Cost
• Production Cost

Startup - This will cover the initial physical design and creation of your initial mold. The crazier you get, the higher this gets. If you want something simple, like your name and contact info on the belly of the block, startup is simpler and will cost less. If, however, you'd like a custom emblem that looks like you riding a T-Rex stamped on the duck... that will take me a bit longer and will increase the startup cost. Prices starting at $250 (basic).

Pre-Production - This covers the creation of your master mold series. The number of colors and pieces determines the number of molds requiring unique creation. Hens are generally a bit cheaper,

but not by much. Prices starting at $250 (basic).

Production - This is the price per finished decoy. The price here can vary based on number of molds in your master series, iridescence layering, extra steps required during production, etc.

Pricing starts at $700 for first 6 decoys. Minimum of 6 applies.

A Note About Billing:

You may purchase a startup only. If you decide to halt there, you will not be obligated to purchase Pre-Production or Production of your decoy design. 

A Note About Materials:

Material costs for standard duck decoys are included in pricing. 

Due to material costs, there is an up-charge on goose decoys.

THE FOLLOWING ARE EXAMPLE QUOTES, NOT ACTUAL QUOTES.

Lyrics to my favorite song starting on the back of the head and flowing down the back. Because... 

"It's More Than A Feelin'"

Total: $1550

Example Quote, Suzie w/ Swivel Head:
