Differences | Traditional stockists | The Accessory Circle |
Sales opportunity | It’s difficult to be accepted by a stockist. The process is complicated and doors are not always open to independent brands. | You can join and sell for free for 14 days* and we have a reasonable monthly fee after that. |
Cost of labour | High initial investment on materials and time to create a product range. | You can create more styles as they sell based on the feedback from the customers. |
| Stock | All products need to be shipped to a warehouse, no flexibility to sell through other channels. | You ship directly to the customer from your home/studio when items are sold. You have full control of your stock. |
Management | Difficulty communicating through lots of back and forth emails. | We have a user friendly seller dashboard, where you can easily manage your listings. |
Sale channel | Stock is to be sold only in one specific store for the entire period. | Your products will be sold through 6 channels - theaccessorycircle.com, Facebook, Instagram, Google Shopping, Pinterest, Etsy*. |
Payout | Slow payouts, it can take up to a year which puts you in difficult financial situtation. | We automatically payout shortly after the customer receives the product. |
Promotion | None or very limited promotion provided to support your brand’s awareness and growth. | We feature your products on all our social media channels, so our 110K followers get to discover them. |
Unsold stock | Unsold stock returned to you every season. You often even have to cover the return shipping cost. | You don’t have to face a huge return of unsold stock, because stock remains on our site as long as you want. |
*If you are unhappy with the service, we will refund the monthly fee.
*Etsy - we know some of you already have an Etsy store, but if you prefer to manage all your sales channels in one place, opt for "Etsy Add-On" for a small fee).
