CHANGES IN 2023
Wild Thing will be changing its business model in 2023, meaning we can work closer with independent brands & create a better, more efficient site for customers. This new business model will effect all the brands currently selling on wildthing.com, so it is important for you to read through the following text to see if you would like to still sell on our website.
We're planning on getting collections & ideas together from mid-January 2023, and the website switch over will happen around the end of March.
Wild Thing Fulfilment Centre
Wild Thing will move away from being an online marketplace, and instead hold physical stock to ship & monitor. With so many international customers, selling multiple brands from 1 location will mean we can offer independent brands with 1 shipping price, alongside a simple site returns & shipping policy. We will be welcoming brands to work with us and this is how it will work:
1. Popular items & exclusive collections can be sent to Wild Thing for storage & distribution.
2. Wild Thing will shoot the products in-house.
3. You'll be able to view your products & store via the Wild Thing portal, where you'll manage the backend of your listing.
4. Wild Thing will add your product images.
5. Your products will be held in our secure space awaiting orders.
6. When an item sale, we will fulfil the order on your behalf. You'll be paid immediately after item is marked as shipped on the site. Stock adjustments will show in your dashboard, so you can re-stock when needed.
7. We will manage all communication & shipping for your customer. Refunds will be managed by us.
Payments & Fees.
Currently, our marketplace fees is a flat 20% per sale with no listing fees.
Going forward, fees will be:
Standard products: 30% per sale, with no fees.
One of a Kind: 40% per sale, with no fees.
We appreciate this is higher than before but we've added plenty onto our services to make up for it.
Included in the fees are product photography, storage, marketing, handling fees & shipment. For exclusive Wild Thing items, reels & video footage will be created for you to share & promote alongside our socials.
We will also be showcasing your products in our pop up shops going forward. More on this when the time arises.
Word from us
We understand that for some of you this type of business model wont work for you, and for those of you who won't be coming on the next step of the Wild Thing journey, we just want to say a massive thank you for supporting us so far. Running Wild Thing as 2 sisters, with no investment or backing has been a whirlwind of emotions, and without you supporting and believing in us, we wouldn't have existed. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
For those of you who would like to participate in this going forward, please reply to info@wildthing.com to register your interest, so we can begin working with you.
Much love,
Katie & Lauren
