The Talking Arts × Pejji
Partnership model · value map · working draft

The Talking Arts becomes Pejji's physical home in Lagos.

One partner, two engines. TTA is the shop you can walk into; Pejji is the digital arm that scales it. We grow the shop, we earn from the shop, and the shop becomes proof that the whole model works. This lays out the model, how the money flows, and every single thing we do for them, with its value and its cost.

The model in one line

Say it plainly so both sides know exactly what this is.
The Talking Arts is a real, trusted print and branding shop in Ikotun, Lagos. Pejji is a digital brand with no physical footprint in Nigeria. So we make TTA Pejji's physical location: the walk-in address, the demo counter, the place a customer can see and touch the work before they buy a website. In return, Pejji runs TTA's growth and digital arm, and BlessedOps earns from the shop's success, not just from Pejji subscriptions. Two brands, one storefront, income flowing both ways.

What each side gets

A partnership only holds if both sides clearly win.

The Talking Arts gets

  • A full growth engine: pricing, marketing, and a weekly content drop, run for them.
  • A real digital arm: their own site, online ordering, and WhatsApp checkout.
  • New revenue lines (caps, mugs, vinyl) with the payback math done first.
  • A tech partner who protects and scales the business, plus shared upside.

Pejji / BlessedOps gets

  • A physical address and demo counter in Lagos, the trust a digital-only brand can't fake.
  • A walk-in funnel: every TTA customer is a potential Pejji website client.
  • Active income from the shop (equity + growth fee + referrals), not just subscriptions.
  • The flagship proof-case to copy onto the next local business, and the one after.

Why this is the smart move

The strategic logic, short.

Pejji's real problem in Nigeria is trust, not tech. A Lagos business owner deciding whether to pay for a website wants to see a real place and a real person, not just a link. TTA's shop solves that instantly: it becomes the address, the face, and the "come see it yourself" that turns a cold digital pitch into a warm local one.

TTA's real problem is scale, not skill. Salami can print, but the business runs on his memory with no numbers, no marketing system, and no digital front door. That's exactly the machine Pejji builds. We don't rescue the shop, we level it up.

Together they compound. The shop makes Pejji credible; Pejji makes the shop scalable. And because we earn from both, we're not a vendor billing hours, we're a partner whose income only grows when the shop does. That alignment is the whole point.

How we earn from it

Beyond Pejji subscriptions. This is what "income from TTA itself" means.
1. Equityagreed

The 20-25% vested stake already on the table. A direct share of the shop's profit as it grows. Aligns us fully with TTA's success.

2. Growth-partner feeto set

A modest monthly fee for actively running the growth engine (pricing, content, digital, systems). Keeps the lights on regardless of profit timing, and it's justified line-by-line by the value map below.

3. Pejji client referralsto set

Every walk-in TTA customer we convert into a Pejji website client. TTA becomes a lead source; a share of that Pejji revenue flows back through the partnership.

4. New-line marginto set

The caps/mugs/vinyl lines we enable (with the machine payback math). A share of the new revenue we directly unlock.

Reality check to structure around: BlessedOps is a Canadian sole-prop and isn't CAC-registered in Nigeria yet; TTA's CAC is pending. So the equity + how NG income actually flows needs a clean written agreement (and likely the CAC step) before money moves. Flagged, not solved.

Once we have TTA's real numbers, each "value to TTA" row gets an actual naira figure, and that total is what justifies the growth-partner fee. That's the accountability: we show the value before we bill it.

The flywheel

Why the two sides feed each other.
TTA walk-in customers become Pejji website clients Pejji's reach + content sends print + merch orders back to TTA

Every turn of the loop grows both businesses, and we earn on both sides of it. The shop is the front door, the digital arm is the amplifier, and the partnership is the thing that captures the value in the middle.

What's still open

Honest gaps, so nothing here reads as further along than it is.
To move from plan to live, we still need:
  • TTA's real numbers (money-in, common-job costs, rough per-product prices). Everything with a naira figure waits on this.
  • A few real job photos to power the site + the weekly content.
  • The written partnership agreement + income terms, and the CAC step, before money actually flows.
  • Salami's go on the physical Pejji counter and the walk-in handoff.

None of these are blockers to keep building; they're the inputs that turn this draft into real dated commitments and real prices.

Grow the shop. Earn from the shop. Make the shop the proof. The Talking Arts × Pejji.
