Launch
With a clear action plan, we execute. We simultaneously stand up the needed infrastucture for doing business in the US, and create the assortment, content, and shipments to launch on agreed upon digital channels. In as little as 4-6 weeks, your brand is trading on major US retailers.
The biggest barriers to launch like establishing US entity, local storage and fulfillment, and product and regulatory compliance are handled, including acting as Importer or Seller of Record in some scenarios.

Sell
The ability to begin bringing in additional revenue as quickly as possible is crucial to brands, which is why we focus on growing your digital channels we while simultaneously focus on wholesale. We actively monitor performance to optimize the business, including marketing campaigns and promotion management.
Unlike traditional showrooms, Runway not only attends the major market weeks, but travels to brand headquarters to ensure your collection is seen by the right retail buying teams.

Scale
Part of what makes Runway different is our dedication to not just sales, but sell-through, re-orders and profitability. We constantly monitor brand sales performance and profitability across channels to recommend new opportunities, marketing and promotion investment, and we always have a concrete testing plan with milestones to minimize risk.
Runway continues to target and grow brand-right retailers, and adjusts the strategy in partnership with you as the brand evolves.

Sales
In some ways, getting the initial order or launch is the easy part. The preparation and outreach before market requires industry knowledge and relationships, and getting product into stores requires retailer process and compliance knowledge most brands don't have in-house.

Getting the next order, and the one after that, is where the business is actually made. Runway monitors sell-out performance as well as sell-in, and works with retailers on the things that decide whether a brand grows in a door — assortment, replenishment, promotion, and the reorder.
