In the competitive world of retail, winning a deal and opening the door to additional opportunities can be challenging. Retailers are often presented with various products and services from suppliers, and saying "no" to a product may seem like the end of the road. However, this is precisely where the power of offering bespoke, exclusive, or own-brand services comes into play and can turn a rejection into an opportunity by embracing customisation and exclusivity.

In the world of retail, first impressions matter more than ever. The success of a product often hinges on its packaging. While what's inside matters, the exterior can make or break a consumer's decision to purchase.

Having your product packaging ready for retail and why it's often considered the unsung hero of the marketing world.

Your product's packaging is, in essence, a direct representation of your brand. It's the first thing that consumers see, and it should convey your brand identity, values, and story. Well-designed packaging can create a lasting impression and build brand recognition fr consumers. But for buyers it’s not only the impact the item will have in-store, but the function the packaging provides. Critical choices over swing tags, boxing, header cards and ensuring that the packaging is environmentally friendly can make or break a closing deal.

Sales teams - they're not just the ones in the office with the snazzy outfits and charismatic smiles. They're the backbone of any thriving business, and they do much more than just seal deals. A well-oiled sales team isn't just a bunch of smooth talkers; they are the driving force behind a company's growth, customer satisfaction, and, well, making the world go 'round.
