Welcome to The Merchandising Collective

There’s a reason our clients started their own businesses, and it probably wasn’t to spend hours training new hires. Getting buried in reports and troubleshooting Square likely wasn’t at the top of the list, either.

Unfortunately, that’s what’s eating up their precious time.

The Merchandising Collective is setting out to change that. We want to take those time-consuming , data-dependent tasks off their plate. We’ll work together on an actionable, forward-thinking plan that is easy to execute. We’ll dig into displays and assortment-building so that they don’t have to stare at boxes in the back and wonder why something never sold

With fewer headaches and more clarity, retailers and importers can get back to doing what they love.

A little about us

There’s no doubt about it: The Merchandising Collective has the expertise to help retailers of all sizes succeed. The resume speaks for itself.

Now, we’re bringing that experience and understanding to passionate independent retailers and direct importers. With a keen focus on collaboration and measurable insight, we’re working alongside business owners to overcome their biggest challenges and spark fresh, new ideas that will drive sales.

The landscape is changing rapidly. With The Merchandising Collective, clients can adapt and amaze themselves with what they’re capable of.
