Partnering with UK Startup ARROE for Entry at Best Buy
We were approached by ARROE in Fall of 2020. They were looking for a partner to achieve their goal of being placed at Best Buy.
The team at ARROE had an exceptional product to bring to market and wanted a partner with U.S contacts in the U.S. and and strong retail strategic and operational experience to realize their placement goals.After researching the ARROE brand and their innovative technology, our team decided to jump on the opportunity. We met with the ARROE executive team and worked together to build out a three-pronged strategy geared toward; introducing the brand to Best Buy, generating interest with key decision makers within Best Buy, and securing the first order.
How we helped ARROE
- Facilitated ARROE brand introductions to Best Buy merchants
- Secured ARROE’s invitation to pitch the Sr. Buying team for the Fall 2021 store reset
- Worked alongside ARROE’s marketing team build and deliver a stellar pitch
- Forecasted and prepared for a successful retail rollout
- Co-created a 360-degree sales & marketing plan to secure the initial purchase order
“THE TEAM AT LOV RETAIL IS INCREDIBLY CAPABLE AND FOCUSED ON DELIVERING RESULTS. THEIR RETAIL EXPERIENCE AND RELATIONSHIPS WORKING WITH TOP-TIER PARTNERS HAS ENABLED SUCCESS FOR US WITH LARGE RETAILERS IN THE US.” — Ryan Hartley, Chief Revenue Officer at ARROE
