We get your products onto independent store shelves and follow up for the reorder.

Independent stores are boutiques, pharmacies, spas, salons and natural grocers that buy straight from brands. Each orders less than a chain, but you keep more of the retail price and you choose where you are sold. We handle the outreach and the follow-up.

Process

How it runs.

Step 1

Audit

We check pricing, case pack, barcode and sell sheet, and pick the store types to start with.

Step 2

Target list

We build a list of independent stores by type and region.

Step 3

Outreach and samples

We pitch the buyer, send samples and follow up.

Step 4

Reorders

We check sell-through after a few weeks and ask for the second order.

Questions about independent stores

We cannot promise a number. It depends on your price, your product and buyer response. The weekly report shows where every account stands.

A case pack that fits one shelf facing, at a minimum most small stores can afford. The audit sets this from your cost and unit size.

Many independent stores expect net 30. We help you decide what to offer and how to protect yourself, for example by requiring the first order to be paid up front.

They can. We set a minimum advertised price policy before outreach, and we pick store types that do not compete with your direct customers.
