Start by submitting a Partnership Inquiry to share more about your brand; from there, we evaluate alignment & determine the best next steps.
Yes. We work with beauty & wellness brands across the globe, nationwide, supporting retail placement in national and independent retail across key U.S. markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Florida & beyond.
We work with beauty & wellness brands at various stages of growth, from to early stage brands preparing for U.S. retail distribution to established brands scaling across national, regional & independent retailers in the U.S.
KSJ Collective operates as a strategic partner to beauty & wellness brands, not a retail broker; we combine brand positioning, retail strategy & industry relationships to drive sell-through & sustainable growth. We also operate on a retainer-based model, not commission.
Retail readiness means your brand is operationally, financially & strategically prepared to invest and succeed in a retail environment, beyond just being placed on shelves.
A retail strategy includes brand positioning, pricing, assortment planning, target retailer identification & go-to-market planning to support successful wholesale distribution.
Each engagement is tailored, but the first phase typically includes brand strategy, retail positioning, distribution strategy, buyer introductions & ongoing support through launch planning. The second phase often includes account management, in store leadership, education and selling support management to support sales performance & growth.
Preparing for wholesale includes refining your pricing, margins, packaging, operations & retail strategy to ensure your brand can support retailer expectations & scale successfully.
Founder involvement is critical; the most successful brands are collaborative, engaged & actively involved in the retail growth process.
