02 / Off-Price Readiness Sprint
30-day Off-Price Readiness Sprint
$3,000
/ 30 days · scoped engagement
A paid, scoped engagement that maps your inventory by unit, pressure-tests your full-price channels, and walks you out with a three-lane distribution plan and the buyer introductions to execute it.
BEST FOR
Brands sitting on aging or overstock inventory ($2M to $10M ARR)
Founders facing a closing retail window or partnership unwind
Teams that need a board-ready distribution plan, not a discovery call
Brands ready to move within the next 60 to 90 days
TELL US ABOUT YOUR BRAND
Four weeks. Four deliverables. Real buyer introductions at the end.
Retail Advisory is for founders/operators who want expert guidance, fast, without hiring a full wholesale team.
Best fit it you:
"I've seen what happens when brands wait for the buyer to call. The brands that win the shelf are the ones who built the plan first."
— Matt Goldbloom, Founder of Common Shelf
Why is the Sprint an inquiry instead of a direct purchase?
Because $3K shouldn't change hands without a conversation. Matt qualifies every Sprint personally to make sure your situation is a real fit before any work begins.
Can the Advisory Call credit toward the Sprint?
Clean, salable units with compliant packaging and scannables. No expired, near-dated, damaged, or mixed-code inventory. For dated goods, aim for 6–9+ months remaining at ship.
What if I'm not sure which one I need?
Plan simple retail math (example: buy ≈ $X → retail ≈ ~$2X) within category norms to protect MSRP and channel health. We finalize bands during your shelf plan.
Do you work with brands outside beauty, wellness, pet, and F&B?
When signals are green, ship labeled samples in 48 hours. Pilot decisions in weeks on rolling buys. Scale on sell-through. Scored Green/Yellow? Contact us to lock your pilot window.
