International Distributor Management
Your International Office
We have extensive and proven experience building successful sales organisations (Distributor, Agency or Owned Subsidiary) in Sports, Outdoor & Fashion in the key markets in each of the key International regions: APAC, EMEA, LATAM, and Canada. Our network of outstanding Distributor contacts allows us to find the appropriate solution to your business strategy. Our team are specialists in partnering with Brand headquarters and acting as part of - or head of - the International division. We have a reporting template and contract/legal experience that gives transparency and control over the whole process to head office while at the same time leaning on our expertise in this area. We recognise that as the retail landscape rapidly changes brands will wish to find the most direct route to the retailer or the consumer. We are well set up to handle this.
Marketing
When expanding into international markets, the ability to quickly scale your brand in terms of both consumer awareness and sales are fundamental. Our in house marketing team bring significant experience at all levels of marketing execution, and will work with you to agree on a suitable strategy to deliver success. Perhaps the most important advantage of working with the small Compendium Group International Marketing team is we offer in-house Trade, Brand and Digital marketing support that can move quickly with the changing market trends.
Operational Solutions
We work with a small number of outstanding 3PL and operational partners in EMEA & APAC. They cover systems, warehousing, fiscal representation & shipping of goods - ultimately offering a smooth supply chain either to the consumer or the retailer. This supply chain partnership is an essential part of what Sport Factory offers any brand looking to expand into International markets: a key complication often overlooked.
Legal
We have partnered with highly experienced, market-leading legal experts in both EMEA and APAC to ensure contracts are delivered according to each brand's expectation, but also in accordance with the legal nuances that occur Regionally and Locally.
