New global platform Retaissance is kick-starting the growth of retail in the post-COVID-19 era, building a community framework that promotes trading and facilitates sharing knowledge as markets develop. Retaissance connects brands and buyers, building resilience in independent retail and the surrounding ecosystem by allowing buyers to discover brands from the UK, Europe and beyond that match their preferences on price, features, sustainability, ethical credentials and more.
The digital marketplace is also set to bring its brands and buyers together for Retaissance Live, its first exclusive “Meet the Buyer” event in partnership with the Enterprise Europe Network, on the 3rd and 4th November. A number of key industry figures, thought leaders and buyers from prestigious brands have already confirmed attendance and full details, including how to get your free tickets, will be released in the coming weeks.
Cathie Osborne, Founder and Owner of Retaissance said: “Now is a brilliant time to join Retaissance – we want to work closely with our early adopters to tailor our site to their needs, offer real value for money and a continually improving experience for both brands and buyers. The upcoming event with the Enterprise Europe Network will be the first of many exciting opportunities we have planned for our customers.”
Since launching to brands on the 24th of July, Retaissance has attracted interest from across the UK retail industry and has formed partnerships with several top associations and buying groups, including the Gift Association and The National Association of Jewellers. Retaissance is completely free to buyers and is available to brands for a small monthly subscription.
