Getting a list of distributors is easy. Getting them to reply is the hard part. We approach up to ninety named European importers and distributors on your brand, in your voice, and chase until they answer.
Most drinks founders hit the same wall. You can buy a database of importers in an afternoon. What you cannot buy is the dozens of personalised emails, the follow-ups, and the months of polite persistence it takes to turn a name on a list into a buyer who actually replies. That work is unglamorous and relentless, which is exactly why it gets dropped when you are also making, selling and shipping the product.
There is also a targeting problem. A distributor who is brilliant for a craft gin is wrong for a no-and-low RTD. Range fit, route to market, the other brands they carry, and whether they have a gap in your category all matter. Spraying a generic pitch at a thousand contacts gets you ignored. A tight, well-matched approach to the right names gets you conversations.
Same opportunity, roughly one-sixth the cost. Anyone can get a list. The chasing is the real work, and that is what we do.
The labels overlap, but the distinction shapes who we approach for you:
In many European markets a single partner plays the importer-and-distributor role together. We work out which model fits your category and market, then build the buyer list around it.
Our offer does one thing properly: it takes your brand to buyers who can move it, and chases until they reply. Over four months:
No commission, no tie-in, and the contacts stay with you. We do the work. You take the meetings and close the deals. The sale is always yours.
Our first wave focuses on Europe, the UK included, drawing on thousands of vetted importers, distributors and retailers, with new regions added as our enrichment matures. If your priority market is outside that, tell us on the call and we will be straight about whether we are the right fit yet. You can also explore the full pool on our international buyer map.
Up to ninety named buyers on your brand over four months, sixty in month one and thirty more in month four, hand-picked for your category, price point and target markets. Not a generic blast to a bought list.
No. There is no commission and no cut of any deal you land. What you sign is what you pay.
Great, bring it. We will fold the relevant names in, fill the gaps, and do the persistent outreach and chasing that turns a list into replies.
Europe including the UK for our first wave, drawing on thousands of vetted importers and distributors, with new regions added over time. We will tell you honestly on the call if your priority market is not covered yet.
