Aligned bydesign.
No retainer, nothing upfront. We run the full Method and share in a percentage of net revenue. We grow when you grow.
One Method.
One way in.
For years, brands hired Mountain Stone on monthly retainers. The Method hasn’t changed, but the way we partner has. New partnerships are structured around a share of net revenue.
How a partnership stacks up.
Instead of a retainer, we share in a percentage of net revenue. Our goals are aligned from day one.
Most brands at this size are buying a slice of this scope, cheaper. The share is priced against the full seat.
The share starts at less than a third of what the full scope costs to buy. It only catches up if the brand grows.
The share starts below the market by design. It is also below what the Method sold for at retainer. We expect it to become worth more than the retainers we walked away from, and that only happens if the brand grows.
If it doesn’t, we made the bad trade. Not you.
The percentage steps down as you scale. The full terms are one scroll down.
Read the terms* Illustrative. Bars are drawn to a common dollar scale; the stack is shown at the middle of each range, at rates for work done to this standard. Your numbers are worked through at the diagnostic and written into the partnership before anything begins.
Written before anything starts.
The economics are agreed before we start and written into the partnership. Everyone knows how the model works from day one.
Net revenue, defined.
Net revenue means money collected after refunds, taxes, shipping and chargebacks. The definition is agreed before the partnership begins.
Billed from the store's own numbers.
The share is calculated directly from the store’s reporting, so both sides are working from the same number.
The percentage steps down as you scale.
The share reduces as the brand grows, following a tier schedule agreed from the start.
Reviewed on rhythm.
The partnership runs for twelve months, with formal reviews built in at three and six. If the targets we agreed on aren’t being met, the brand has a way out.
Your brand. Your accounts. Always.
We operate inside your accounts, with final direction staying with you. What you bring into the partnership remains yours, and anything we build is covered by clear terms agreed from the start.
We take a few.
They have to be right.
We take five brands per intake, so fit matters on both sides. The best partnerships tend to share a few things.
"I wanted to build the kind of partnership I would want on the other side of the table. Real partner involvement and shared incentives for the brand to succeed."Drayden Larsen · Founder, Mountain Stone
