Proven Results

Brands We've Helped Win.

Early-stage brands that moved fast, trusted the process, and walked out of Bentonville with purchase orders. Here's how we did it.

The Challenge

A founder-led snack brand with strong regional traction had never pitched a national retailer. They had a great product but no retail infrastructure, no buyer relationships, and no idea where to start.

Our Approach

We built their full Walmart go-to-market strategy — item setup, pricing architecture, packaging refresh, and buyer pitch deck. We leveraged our Bentonville relationships to get the right meeting at the right time.

Sam's Club Growth
02

Tripled Velocity at Sam's Club in One Buying Cycle

Better-For-You Beverage Brand

3.1x
Velocity increase in 6 months
40%
Cost reduction via pack redesign
2
Additional club items listed

The Challenge

A beverage brand was already in Sam's Club but underperforming. Velocity was flat, the item was at risk of being cut, and the brand had no clear strategy for the club channel.

Our Approach

We restructured their club-specific pack format, renegotiated their cost structure, and built a member-focused marketing plan aligned with Sam's Club's internal metrics. We repositioned the item as a top-performer in its category.

Rescued a Brand on the Verge of Delisting

Household Cleaning Brand

Days to reverse the decline

Velocity lift in 90 days
100%
Account retained — no delisting

The Challenge

A household cleaning brand received a delisting notice from Walmart after two consecutive quarters of declining velocity. They had 60 days to turn it around or lose the account entirely.

Our Approach

We conducted a rapid category audit, identified the root cause (pricing misalignment and poor shelf placement), and negotiated a temporary price rollback paired with a secondary placement strategy. We also overhauled their item content on Walmart.com.

Full-Channel Strategy

Built a $12M Retail Business from the Ground Up

Personal Care Startup

$12M+
Retail sales in 18 months
2,400+
Combined doors (Walmart + Sam's)
6
SKUs successfully launched

The Challenge

A personal care startup came to us pre-revenue with a strong brand identity but no retail experience. They needed a complete roadmap from product development through national retail distribution.

Our Approach

We served as their outsourced VP of Sales for 18 months — managing vendor setup, buyer relationships, item strategy, and retail execution across both Walmart and Sam's Club simultaneously.
