Startup of the Week - Trayde

Trayde - The marketplace that's reinventing wholesale for independent retailers and artisan brands
If you’re an artisan maker, you’ll know only too well how challenging it can be to get your products and brand out there. Developing and building a solid customer base can be a difficult task to say the least.
Likewise, if you are an independent retailer, identifying and sourcing new and niche brands to sell can be both time consuming and difficult. For artisans and retailers alike however, that need no longer be the case - all thanks to our latest startup of the week.
Trayde is an online wholesale marketplace connecting independent retailers with unique, artisan brands.
The concept is quite straightforward. Artisan makers and brands can set up stores on the platform and then effectively showcase and sell their products to independent retailers across the UK. Brands can set their own minimum order amounts and can in essence grow a wholesale division of their business.
Retailers of course can access the marketplace and source all sorts of unique products to sell in their stores. Current categories on the platform include Homeware, Beauty & Wellness, Jewellery and Accessories. What the brands which feature on the platform all have in common however is the fact that they are all emerging brands with quality products and interesting stories behind the creators.
As you’d expect, the Trayde marketplace is a 24/7 7 days a week operation, so retailers can buy any time, anywhere that suits them. All orders can be placed and tracked via the platform. When a brand accepts an order, they simply then ship it to the retailer and then get paid once it’s delivered.
There are so many small businesses throughout the UK that could benefit from using the Trayde platform - both independent retailers and makers alike.
If you fall into either category, we reckon it would definitely be worth your while signing up and letting this digital marketplace help your business to grow.
