Small Brands,BIG RETAIL

We believe small brands are good for retail and that emerging and growing brands should have the same opportunities as well-established and well-funded businesses. As a small brand, it’s challenging to find opportunities in big retailers.

We’re here to help you.

What We Do

We help SME brands get a foot in the door at major retailers like John Lewis, Waitrose, Harvey Nichols and Boots, so they can showcase their products to consumers seeking innovative and quality goods.We do this by:

1. We create exclusive retail opportunities for brands through our pop-up shops with leading retailers. This provides a platform for brands to experience their products in a real-life and established retail environment where they can benefit from high footfall, increased visibility, sales and live customer feedback on their products.

2. We have launched a retailer directory – Found Here. For a small fee, Found Here allows brands to have a listing on a retail buyer facing directory where buyers are looking for new brands and products. This is fantastic exposure for brands looking to find new customers. It also saves buyers time and energy to find new and interesting products. As a member of Found Here, you also have access to exclusive webinars from industry experts so you can learn and grow your business.

3. We offer a complete wholesale/distribution model for brands aiming for a permanent listing in major retailers.

.

How we work

First, you’ll register your interest with us and tell us about your brand and products.

We welcome and invite brands to join our network. We currently have 12,500 brands in our network.

We work collaboratively with retailers to create opportunities. That might be a Pop-Up shop, a nationwide wholesale deal, or a specific activation or project.

If we’ve secured an opportunity for you, we’ll then help you create a brilliant retail experience that’ll leave a lasting impression on both customers and retailers.

We run a community where we support brands with access to industry leading experts and organisations in order to help them learn and grow.
