Your product. Our sales.

You have a finished product. We buy it from you and sell it ourselves – or we look after your own sales. Together, we work out which option suits you.

We are sellers ourselves, with brands of our own, on the same channels. What we learn there, we put to work for your product. With us, you talk to people who do the selling themselves.

Two options. Together, we find the one that fits.

Option A – We buy from you.

We buy your goods and sell them in our own name. You deliver; we take care of the selling.

Option B – You remain the seller.

This is where we sell our brands.

  • Amazon

How it works.

Introduce

You send us a few lines about your product and quantities.

Review

We review the product, labelling and documents. Then we tell you which channels and which option could work.

Prepare

We create images, copy and product pages for the right channels.

Questions

Which products do you take on?

In principle, all product categories. We review every product individually. Some categories, such as food, are subject to special rules, which we clarify with you in advance.

Who sets the prices?

If we buy from you, we sell in our own name and set the prices ourselves. You can give us a non-binding recommended retail price. If you remain the seller, you set the prices.

When do I get paid?

That depends on the option and on the individual case. We put it in writing before we start.

Do I have to work with you exclusively?

That depends on the product and the channels. We discuss it openly in our first conversation.

What does it cost?

If we buy from you, our income comes from reselling. If you remain the seller, we agree a fee. We put the details in writing.

Who is responsible for labelling and documents?

The contract sets out who is responsible for what. Before we start, we review the product and documents.

I don’t have a finished product yet.
