For Suppliers
American makers and wholesalers — start here.
If you make or wholesale goods that fit independent retail and you want to expand into the Northeast, here's how we work together.
Who we list
We're selective. On purpose.
We don't run a directory and we don't list everyone who applies. We sign on suppliers we'd put on our own shelves. That means a few things have to be true:
- ·You're a US-based manufacturer, wholesaler, or maker.
- ·You can ship a sample within 10 business days of request.
- ·Your lead time on production orders is 6 weeks or less under normal load.
- ·You have at least two existing wholesale accounts we can call.
- ·You can support a meaningful first order without a container minimum.
- ·You answer the phone, or return calls within one business day.
What we offer.
Once you're in, we put your line in front of buyers when their briefs match. We don't broadcast you to the whole network — we make targeted introductions, which means higher conversion and less back-and-forth. You'll typically get 2–6 warm intros per quarter, sometimes more during trade-show season.
We also help you sharpen the parts of your wholesale operation that hold makers back: line-sheet design, photography briefs for retail-ready imagery, freight class advice, and case-pack standardization.
Onboarding
Four steps. Four to six weeks.
01
Introduction
Send us a line sheet or a sample. We respond within five business days.
02
Vetting visit
We schedule a call, ask about your capacity, lead times, payment terms, and references. Sometimes we visit in person.
03
Trial placement
If we have a buyer fit, we make an introduction. The first placement is the trial — for both sides.
04
Ongoing rotation
If the trial goes well, you're in the rotation. We'll bring you in when buyer briefs match your strengths.
The fee, in plain English.
We charge a one-time placement fee of 6–8% of the first purchase order when a buyer we introduced confirms an order with you. No subscription, no listing fee, no annual dues. You'll receive a clear invoice within 14 days of the PO confirmation, payable net-30.
Reorders are yours. We don't take a cut on anything past the first order. That's how we keep our incentives aligned with the relationship lasting.
