The Role of our Company is to develop, manufacture and distribute world-class products AND drive brand awareness, users and purchasers to the 1 Odd Duck® products, communities, retailers and Licensees.

Our "on-line hybrid community" is being built behind the scenes of our current web sites and our products will be offered for sale at a wide variety of major & independent retailers, C-stores, restaurants, schools, libraries, charitable organizations, and through hundreds of licensees and licensed agents in markets around the world.

We are in essence the manufacturer and you would have the rights to market and sell our product lines how you see reasonably fit, at a price you deem reasonably fair. These are product lines that we have spent tons of money and time creating.

The only way that we make money is if you make money.

Combined... these things make us 1 Smart Duck®!

Live Smart! Think Oddly... and Make Money while you make a Positive IMPACT!

With 1 Odd Duck®, you can promote “GREATER GOOD” messages and the GREEN Movement with a COMMON SENSE TWIST and put some money in your pocket in the process. We believe GREEN must be affordable & convenient, and starts with teaching our children to get outside and play and having them fall in love with the outdoors. We believe “greater good” means messages that build character in our children and their parents.

What Do 1 Odd Duck® Licensees Do?

In short… a 1 Odd Duck® Licensee is the local marketing & operational-arms for the 1 Odd Duck® products and brands.

A Licensee should be good at networking, marketing, cross promoting, event co-ordination, shaking hands, meeting people, garnering Public Relations, and they should possess general business acumen skills.

The landscape of our children, our schools, our families, and our businesses has changed. Today families are responsible for funding more activities and more materials than ever before. This need, in addition to the growing “greater good” and GREEN movement, has fueled a demand for the unique opportunity that we are offering.

Our line of products will be in demand and will sell in big box retailers, as well as, “mom and pop” independent operators around the world. We have a highly recognizable media-partner and, as we grow, we plan to be on TV and Radio in several markets across the country.

A Licensee’s role is to:
  • Drive Local Marketing & Brand Awareness
  • Drive Local Customers
What are the size of 1 Odd Duck® Territories?

At this time, to ensure prudent and appropriate growth for our brands, we are only offering the following territories:
  • State Licensees – one per state in the USA (with the exception of the largest where we will offer multiple licenses due to the size of these markets)
  • Province Licensees – one per province of Canada
  • International Licensees (one per country)
In time, we will offer both Regional (multi-state) and Metro Area Territories

Who is the Target Audience?
  • Children between the ages of 3 and 12 years old
  • Their Parents and other Adults around them
  • Their Schools
  • Community Businesses of all sizes
How Do Licensees Make Money?

We offer several different revenue streams that a Licensee can choose to focus on. A few of these revenue streams are:
  • Books
  • Music CD’s
  • Merchandise (Shirts, Hats, Toys, etc.)
  • The Quack Pack Fun Sack
  • Events & Festivals
  • Sponsorships, Product Placements & Advertising
  • The 1 Odd Duck® iBuildings
  • Create products with us
  • And by passively driving people to our sites, you get a portion of the sales from ALL purchases from people in your zip code(s). That is RIGHT… you market and brand and YOU GET PAID!
As our product line grows over the next several years, we expect to offer a series of more than 18 books, several CD’s, and several other merchandise offerings.
