Want to start a shop stocking some known brands. However, no brand really allows you to stock them without having other brands - any advice?

Any advice on starting an online shop selling multiple brands would be greatly appreciated! Anything from how to communicate with brands to how to find lesser known brands to start up.

Having difficulty getting brands involved without me having other ‘big’ names but if no brand allows me to stock their products then this will just go in circles.

  • tricky one without know more about where you are in the journey starting this. Will you be buying stock off brands or doing more of a marketplace?

    May be best to start off with small brands in networking groups. You can also find similar online stores to what you want to do and check which brands then have to approach, they are more likely to take on a new stockist.

    I've also heard many stories of stores where (for example) Nike would only join if they had Adidas and vice-versa... so they managed to get both with some clever wording...
