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 ARE THE MARKET LEADERS IN CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR NEW & EMERGING BRANDS.

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 by signing up to our newsletter, registering for a pop-up shop, or for wholesale. 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.

We will send everyone within our network our current pop-up locations and wholesale briefs. 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 also run a community called Found Here where we support brands with access to industry leading experts through webinars. Through Found Here, brands are listed on our retailer directory. Our retailer directory makes it easy for retail buyers to find new brands and products.

⚡️Tuesday Tips: How to create a successful Pop-Up Shop.⚡️

1️⃣ Location📌: Choose a strategic location that aligns with your target audience. We can help you with an established retail location and customers through the door. But where in the UK would align with your audience.

2️⃣ Eye-Catching Displays 🤩: Create a visually appealing pop-up display that tells your compelling brand story. Invest in attractive signage and engaging product arrangements. Look through our feed for inspiration. At all of our pop-ups we can help with the big display items but you might want to bring along jewellery stands or Perspex blocks to elevate the space.

3️⃣ Smart Promotion 📣: Build anticipation through social media with sneak peeks and exclusive promotions. Collaborate with local press, use event hashtags, and share high-quality visuals to extend the impact beyond the event and attract a broader audience.

4️⃣ Collect Feedback and Build Relationships 👨‍❤️‍👨: Gather customer feedback and capture contact information to build your customer network.

Featured is the brilliant @thecolourfuledit in @johnlewis Edinburgh. 💙💛💚

We are taking pop-up bookings for John Lewis this year until the end of April. ⬇️
