Frequently Asked Questions
With almost 4 million retail outlets in the USA, retail sales continue to grow. Selling in retail can be a great way to grow you business much faster than selling only through e-commerce, and provides a much broader portfolio for your products enhancing overall brand stability and value.
The markets and what buyers want, including the end consumer, is subject to change. What may sell really well one year may not sell as well the next year. In addition to simple market fluctuations, there are many factors including pricing, availability, product design, branding/presentation, etc. Because all of these factors are beyond anyone’s control, we do not guarantee sales. What we do guarantee is to teach you our exact system that has made other brand owners successful and the steps that are needed to successfully reach out to retail buyers. We cannot guarantee the outcome of your application of our process.
We focus primarily on the North American market with a heavy emphasis on the USA.
Phone calls are typically extremely time consuming and most buyers do not prefer calls. Instead, we teach a proprietary method of email outreach that focuses on highly-defined emails being sent to specific niche buyers, resulting in a high rate of buyer engagement. You won’t find this type of proven, repeatable system anywhere else.
If you are a brand owner with products that can be sold in retail stores, and you want to grow your brand, then this course is exactly what you need to grow to the next level. As with learning any skill worth knowing, applying these principles will require dedication and determination on a daily basis. Our Elite Mastermind group will be available to help you every step of the way!
We include all the training you need to get started! Check our our module list here
It depends on how fast you want to move forward. If you invested 2 hours per day into getting ready for retail, you could be ready sell within 4-6 weeks, depending on the timeframe for your packaging and shipping logistics to be completed. From there, you could be landing wholesale orders in anywhere from 2-8 weeks.
We offer access to our paid Elite Retail Mastermind where we host bi-weekly live Q&A calls and additional training in the various aspects covered in the course. Our Elite Retail Mastermind brings brand owners together to learn from each other’s questions and provides a place where we can share our latest tips, secrets, and strategies.

We started 4 months ago with Retail Empire and already selling our products to TJmaxx and more than 20 specialty stores.
-Daniel Schneider
Working with Talor and the team at Retail Empire has been one of the best decisions we made as a company in 2022. They are responsive and professional and enabled us to reach national retailers we wouldn’t have been able to on our own. Talor is persistent, and was an excellent resource throughout the process.

This is a photo of a real PO for over 60K USD from a small brand using our exact process. What would it mean to you and your business if you received these on a regular basis?
Or what about this one, for almost 300K? This is another small brand that chose to take the step to sell in the retail space.
We teach proven principals of business that have made other brands successful. However, we do not guarantee success and we do not guarantee sales. The success of each brand relies on many factors out of our control, including the specific application of these principals, the market demand for a certain brand/product, the presentation of that product, and the buyers reached, among many other factors outside of our control.
