Bespoke Buying & Brand Support

Tailored, project-based consultancy to bring your retail vision to life.

Some projects need something extra. Whether you’re planning a new department, refreshing your product mix, or preparing for a key season, this service gives you hands-on support from concept to store floor.

With over 15 years’ experience across fashion, home, beauty, and lifestyle, I’ll help you make the right buying decisions, build supplier relationships, and create a retail experience that connects with your customers.

 

What’s Included:

Every bespoke project is unique, but some examples of how I can support you include:

• Brand & Range Planning – Build the right assortment to match your market, space, and customer.
• Product Selection & Buying – From range selection to supplier negotiation and order placement.
• Product Development – Create or expand own-brand ranges that drive margin and loyalty.
• Supplier Management – Identify new suppliers, negotiate commercial terms, and streamline your supply base.
• Visual Merchandising, In-Store Execution & Eventing – Bring your product to life with engaging layouts, window displays, and in-store storytelling. I can also help you plan and execute in-store events and experiences that drive traffic, create buzz, and strengthen customer connection.
• Pricing & Margin Optimisation – Review cost prices, markups, and pricing and markdown strategies to maximise profit.
• Range Launch Support – Guidance through delivery, setup, and post-launch performance review.

 

This session is perfect for:

• Independent retailers planning a product refresh or expansion
• Business owners who need hands-on support for a key project
• Brands launching a new range or entering new categories
• Teams who need an experienced buyer to step in and lead the process

 

How It Works:

We’ll start with a discovery call to understand your goals and scope.

From there, I’ll create a tailored proposal - whether that’s a one-off project, a short-term partnership, or ongoing consultancy support.

Projects can be structured as:

• Hourly support
• Half-day or day rate
• Fixed project rate — depending on scale and duration

All include a written summary of recommendations and next steps.

 

The Benefits:

• High-impact, flexible support when you need it most
• Access to a trusted network of suppliers and manufacturers
• Strategic insight combined with practical, commercial know-how
• Perfect add-on to The Curated Partnership for focused project work
