Connecting Brands with Local Businesses: Helping You Expand Beyond the Big Marketplaces
At Coppersmith Distribution, we do more than just help brands sell on Amazon and Walmart. We’re all about building real connections between brands and local businesses. While online sales are important, we believe there’s something special about getting products into the hands of people through local stores that customers already trust.
How We Help: Making Local Partnerships Happen
We know that every brand has its own story and mission, so we focus on finding the perfect local businesses that fit your products. Whether you’re a well-established brand or a newer one looking to grow, we help you connect with local businesses that share your values and vision.
Take, for example, a recent project where we helped an arts and crafts brand expand its reach. Instead of just selling online, we connected them with a chain of specialty card shops that were looking for unique, handmade products to offer their customers. These stores, known for selling one-of-a-kind greeting cards and plantable gifts, were the perfect fit for the arts and crafts brand’s products.
By partnering with these local card shops, the arts and crafts brand gained exposure to a whole new customer base—people who love supporting local shops and discovering unique items in person. It was a win for the brand, the card shops, and most importantly, the customers who got to enjoy the products in their communities.
How We Make It Work
-
Finding the Right Fit
First, we get to know your brand and the types of customers you’re looking to reach. From there, we research local businesses that align with your products and your goals, so we know we’re setting up a partnership that will benefit everyone. -
Driving Sales & Making the Connection
We take a hands-on approach for our local outreach. We actively reach out to businesses, pitch your brand, and negotiate deals to get your products on their shelves. We act as your sales team, ensuring your products get the attention they need from the right buyers, and we handle all the back-and-forth so you can stay focused on growing your brand. -
Ongoing Support
Building lasting relationships takes time, so we stay involved even after the initial connection is made. We provide marketing support, offer product training for store employees, and help with any other needs that come up to make sure the partnership keeps thriving.
Why It’s Worth It
The world may be moving fast online, but there’s still so much value in local stores. Connecting with a local business lets your brand tap into a loyal, engaged customer base that values personal relationships and quality products. It’s a great way to grow your brand’s presence without having to compete in the crowded world of online marketplaces.
At Coppersmith Distribution, we’re passionate about helping brands like yours succeed in both the digital and physical retail spaces. By creating meaningful partnerships between brands and local businesses, we make sure your products get the attention they deserve in communities across the country.
