Shop-branded air fresheners? 🤔
•
Absolutely. Don’t forget that the most important brand that you curate in your product mix is your own. Amazon and other small business killers will never be able to take your brand and the outstanding private-label products containing your brand logo from you.
•
CampScentSupply specializes in eco-friendly, custom-branded air fresheners made from recycled materials. They work with surf shops, outdoor boutiques, and a variety of lifestyle retailers to turn those logos and designs into high-quality, scented air fresheners that resonate with customers. Their offerings include both die-cut and standard-shaped options, with a range of popular scents. CampScentSupply is a low-minimum, private-label solution that adds a fresh and personalized touch to any retail space. 🎯
•
CampScentSupply is currently offering a 10% discount on the first custom order and free scent samples upon request to all BRA Retail Members. 💪
•
🚨DM us Board Retailers Association to request a direct introduction to Evan and request free samples. 🚨
•
You will also be able to receive free samples from us (and Evan, the man behind Camp Scent Supply in the video) at the BRA Booth ( #463) Surf Expo later this month. 👍

This makes a lot of sense. How do you display your stickers? 🤔
•
Repost from the man across the pond 👏
•
I decided to change how we display stickers in and we’ve seen a big increase in sales because of it. Stickers used to look awesome in the cabinet but people didn’t know how much each one cost and didn’t want to hassle staff to ask. By putting them in a basket for them to rummage through with a clear to read sign showing they all cost the same within the basket we have created the convenience needed for the customer to make that impulse last minute purchase when checking out. Since I recorded this video we’ve even added key chains and other bits too! Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to see at a check out in a skate shop?

We are pleased to highlight the outstanding products of BRA Supporting Vendor Partner
•
SmellWell was founded 2012 in Sweden as a result of a pair of stinky football shoes. After trying available options on the market that merely covered up the problem, SmellWell teamed up with scientists and developed our own planet-friendly formula that goes to the source of the problem and really works. SmellWell products are sold by leading retailers worldwide in over 6000 stores.

How would you like all the benefits of BRA Distinguished Retail Membership at no cost? 🤔

Here is a clip of Stephen of TrackFly speaking with Mike (the man behind BUILDING THE REVOLUTION and Surf Shop Day) about what independent specialty retailers want from their sales reps.
•
Did you know that BRA Major Supporting Partner Trackfly can help significantly on that front? 🙌
•
Did you also know that integrating and using Trackfly is free for specialty retailers? 😍
•
Did you also know that the BRA X Trackfly Scholarship program where Trackfly will pay for a year of BRA Distinguished Retail Membership has been extended? 🤯
•
DM Doug Board Retailers Association to learn more about the BRA Trackfly DRM Scholarship Program (almost every independent specialty retailer will qualify) and to request the link.
•
You can also visit the BRA Booth ( #463) Surf Expo in a couple of weeks and sign up there.

DM us and we will send you an email containing a listing (including descriptions and special BRA Member exclusive offerings) of all of our current BRA Supporting Vendor and Event Partners.

In short, these brands and service providers help independent specialty retailers to survive and thrive.
•
We, Board Retailers Association, are really deliberate about who we partner with and fully vet each and every one of them. We also never share member lists or any member information with anyone without express permission from you.
•
🚨When you DM us, be sure to include your direct email address and we will forward it to you as well as a link to opt into our free BRA Retail Membership and info on our newly expanded PartnerShip Shipping Discount Program that will enable you to save on both outbound and inbound shipping. 🚨

We are also happy to make personal introductions between BRA retail members and vendor / event partners, but if you don’t ask for assistance or connections, it is less likely that you will get the help you need.
•
If you are a brand or service provider that provides unique products or helpful solutions and have interest in supporting independent specialty retailers while amplifying your messaging through our channels, email [email protected] to schedule a meeting.
