Frequently Asked Questions

There are no stupid questions in retail. Promise.

What are brokers?

They're basically a salesperson who specializes in retail. With hundreds of retail stores and hundreds of thousands of products on the market, it's super hard for buyers to connect to the right product mix for their stores. Brokers were the retail industry's solution to that problem.

Why doesn't anyone like them?

Usually, brokers only represent one vertical, or one horizontal: either they only pitch to Costco (for example), or they only pitch women's skincare (for example). They also charge a lot up front to access their services or corresponding buyer relationships. Brokers get a bad rap; There are some great ones out there - and they have some fantastic industry knowledge.

Why are you any different?

We never overlap product categories, and we aren't limited to one store, store category, or even one country! Pretty much anything you've dreamed of to promote visibility or sale of your product? We make it happen.

You really do PR, too?

There's no substitute for a dedicated, competent PR team. But if you've had a couple bad experiences - or you're maybe strapped for cash - we can get you set up with a solid platform that will help you get started.

Do you ever do work for free?

Do you? ;)

I represent a start-up on a budget, can we still work together?

There are always solutions to pricing problems, and we'll find one. The product space is an expensive one, and our goal is to connect you to the success that's waiting for you; Not to get in the way of it.

Do you have any tradeshows you recommend?

Absolutely! Schedule a tradeshow consultation with me, and we'll go over your best options: buyers conferences vs. expos, which expo, which buyer conference, and what kind of materials you'll need to be successful.
