Hello,
This we’re working on getting a new home for our store products sorted, so watch out for an email about that soon, if you’re a customer.
Last year we quietly launched a new service package for larger brands wanting to scale their SKUs. I creatively named it the ‘mini’ tech pack!
I received no less than 3 enquiry emails about this package this week alone, so I thought the time was ripe for me to re-introduce it here.
The ‘mini’ package doesn’t really make sense for:
Brands launching their first product
Brands expanding vertically into new product categories
Highly complex or unusual concept products
But it makes perfect sense for:
Brands looking to polish up their catalogue with the creation of new but similar SKUs
Brands needing to quickly launch some trend-led/fashion styles
Brands wanting to test small runs for “bestseller discovery” collections
