Testimonials

Rebelicious "Independent Hunter has provided us a very good entry into London shops and cafes, we have retained clients from London that have continually ordered through us and providing us even tags on social media through customers purchasing our drinks.

Independent Hunter has updated us on images of the drinks in store so we know they are on the shelves as well as letting us know when new orders are placed and giving us data of the re-orders. We have been impressed with the service from Independent Hunter and have used it as a springboard to gain entry into distributors in London as well as other stores.

The recommendation came from a friend who actually runs a convenience store in London Bridge. Often it is hard to get hold of managers and provide costly samples, this way we ensure our product is on the shelf, customers are purchasing it, and we are also getting re-orders through this."

Momo "Delighted to have worked with Independent Hunter. They introduced us to some fantastic stores and reorder rates were strong.”

why us?

- We do well with start-up brands and brands that are new to launching their product into big cities like New York and / or London.

- Lots of brands have learned the hard way, they have found that going straight to a big distributor and launching right away into 100's of stores might not always be the right choice for them.

- Many distributors give brands "one shot at it” and expect the product to sell, if it doesn't - then that's just bad luck! This costs the brand an awful lot of wasted time and a huge amount of wasted money.

- We pride ourselves on working closely with many Independent retailers who will give our brands valuable feedback which is essential when launching into the key cities we work with.

- Brands who work with us can start as slow as they want, our success stories are from brands who start with just 10 or 20 stores then adding more stores when they see a good re-order rate.

- We are firm believers in starting slow, learning, and growing based on results, and then finding the right distributor who can take over.
