Beyond Souvenirs: Merchandise That Tells a Story
Your product mix is the heartbeat of your retail space. Whether it’s a science museum, botanical garden, or cultural center, what you sell should reflect your story — and resonate with your visitors. We help you build a product assortment strategy that connects with your mission, your audience, and your bottom line.
Balanced, Thoughtful, Proven
We don’t believe in cookie-cutter assortments. Our consulting services are grounded in these principles:
- Mission-Driven: Products that align with your exhibits and educational goals.
- Category Balance: Apparel, souvenirs, toys, educational items, books, and seasonal exclusives — all planned with purpose.
- Audience Awareness: Kid-friendly, accessibility-conscious, adult-centric, or academic — we tailor for your core visitors.
- Margin-Focused: We know how to maximize markup without sacrificing quality or experience.
Reliable Sources. Fair Pricing. Ethical Partnerships.
Finding vendors isn’t the challenge. Finding the right vendors is. We maintain a growing network of ethical, museum-friendly suppliers — and we can help you:
- Identify new vendors aligned with your values
- Negotiate pricing, terms, and MOQs
- Explore local and sustainable sourcing
- Manage vendor onboarding and compliance
- Vet unique or custom product opportunities
Quick Wins That Make a Big Difference
🚩 Don’t overload the store with plush — even if it sells. Diversify to build ticket averages.
🚩 Avoid over-customization. Branded items should be balanced with universally appealing products.
🚩 If a vendor is difficult during onboarding, they’ll be worse during reorders. Trust your gut.
🚩 Review performance by category quarterly — if it's not turning, it's not earning.
🚩 Local vendors often deliver value perception, but vet reliability and consistency carefully.
