Problem
Many emerging brands struggle to establish a physical retail presence due to the high costs and long-term commitments associated with traditional leases and brokers. This limits their ability to connect with customers in person and build brand awareness in high-traffic areas.
Solution
Re/tell operates a micro-retail booking platform that connects brands with underutilized retail space within existing high-traffic locations, providing a flexible and affordable way to establish a physical presence. The platform allows brands to rent space as small as 25 square feet in diverse environments such as hotels, co-working spaces, and retail stores, enabling them to reach target customers where they work, live, travel, shop, and play. Re/tell offers brands access to spaces that align with their values, such as locally-made, fair-trade, or sustainable products, and provides resources to help them connect with customers in real life. For spaces, Re/tell provides a way to diversify revenue, drive traffic, and remain relevant to new generations of consumers by hosting unique brands.
