What Does Licensing Mean?

That is a great question. Many think that licensing is akin to franchising, but it isn’t.

For example, if you buy a McDonalds franchise, then McDonalds controls your supply chain, your pricing, your marketing, the brand, etc.

Redi-Rock is not like that. At Redi-Rock, we are entrepreneurs, like you. You control your own supply chain, your own pricing, your own sales, etc. Licensing means you own your forms, and as long as you follow the latest terms and conditions of the Redi-Rock contract, you can use whatever mix design, coloring, or approved lifting devices you choose.

That’s being said, licensing also means that you have Redi-Rock International standing behind to to help with award-winning tools to make you successful.

You have access to a motivated team that wants to see you make money in the Redi-Rock business.

There is a lot more to learn about licensing. Start digging into it on the Business Opportunity page or request a copy of the Licensing e-book here.

How Long Do Your Rubber Molds Last?

The deep, natural texture you see on Redi-Rock blocks is created using a rubber mold that fits inside the steel form.

Redi-Rock started in year 2000 and several manufacturers that started in those first few years still use the exact same rubber molds.

However, we can’t guarantee you will get the same results. These results depend on how you take care of the rubber molds. A few tips include: keep the molds out of direct sunlight, store the molds properly when not in use so they keep their shape, use the proper recommended release agent on the rubber, and clean them on a regular basis.

Who Controls the Pricing?

Redi-Rock manufacturers control their own pricing in their own market. Concrete, color pigments, and aggregate costs vary in each market so Redi-Rock International does not and will not control your pricing.
