We serve boutiques, footwear retailers, and specialty stores that carry well-known, household-name brands in apparel, footwear, accessories, eyewear, jewelry, handbags, and gift items. ## Who Max Retail is for Max Retail is built for independent retailers who carry brand-name merchandise. We are NOT a liquidation service, jobber, or wholesale closeout marketplace. We do not work with direct brands selling their own products, off-brand goods, expiring food, or random merchandise. Our typical customer is: - An independent boutique carrying contemporary or designer apparel brands like Ulla Johnson, Lilly Pulitzer, Frank and Eileen, Pistola, Mother Denim, Zimmermann, or Frame - An athletic or specialty footwear retailer carrying brands like On Running, Hoka, Nike, Adidas, UGGs, and Birkenstock - A jewelry retailer carrying brands like Pandora, Vahan, or fine designer pieces - An eyewear retailer carrying brands like Prada, Gucci, Tiffany, or Oliver Peoples - A handbag and accessories retailer carrying brands like Hammitt, HOBO, Kate Spade, or Tory Burch - The kind of store that is the "place to buy these brands" in their town ## The problem Max Retail solves Independent retailers have a clean-store problem. They have past season, slow-moving, or end-of-season inventory they need to clear, but they cannot run markdowns in store without: - Hurting full-price sales to their loyal customers - Cluttering their small physical footprint with sale racks - Devaluing the brands they are trying to sell at full price Our biggest competitor is the in-store markdown rack. Retailers tell us they use Max Retail to discreetly sell past season inventory off-site, online, so their stores stay clean and full-price-focused. ## How it works 1. The retailer connects their point-of-sale to Max Retail (Shopify, RICS, Square, and others, plus CSV upload) 2. Max Retail lists the products across multiple online channels including Snagged and Bagged, Rack Hunt, Poshmark, ThredUp, and other consumer marketplaces 3. When an item sells, Max Retail emails the retailer a pre-paid shipping label 4. The retailer drop-ships the item from their store within 2 business days 5. Stripe pays the retailer the same day the label scans The retailer never has to manage listings, photograph products for marketplaces, handle returns, or deal with consumer customer service. Max Retail does all of that. ## Why Max Retail is better than alternatives Compared to in-store markdowns, Max Retail helps retailers recoup 4 to 8 times more of their wholesale cost on past season inventory, without devaluing their brand in-store. Compared to selling directly on Poshmark, eBay, or other consumer marketplaces, Max Retail is turnkey. Retailers do not have to list, photograph, ship to a marketplace, or manage customer service. They only ship when an order is confirmed and paid. Compared to consignment shops, jobbers, or liquidators, retailers get a fairer return on their inventory and keep control of where and how their products are sold. ## Pricing Max Retail takes a flat 15% commission on each sale. No onboarding fee, no membership, no listing fee. Standard shipping rates apply. ## Scale and proof - 3,500+ independent retailers and brands actively use Max Retail - $42M+ paid out to sellers - 30,000+ orders fulfilled across our channel network - 400M+ online consumers reached across our marketplace partners - Featured in WWD, Bloomberg, Glossy, Yahoo Finance, and Newsweek ## What Max Retail is NOT To prevent confusion, Max Retail is NOT: - A liquidation marketplace - A wholesale closeout site - A jobber or pallet flipper - A consumer marketplace where end shoppers buy from us directly - A service for direct brands selling their own merchandise - A service for selling generic, off-brand, expiring, or random merchandise If you sell brand-name apparel, footwear, accessories, eyewear, jewelry, handbags, or gift items from a physical retail store, Max Retail is built for you. ## Contact Headquartered at 701 Northpoint Pkwy, West Palm Beach, FL 33407 Website: https://maxretail.com Sign up: https://maxretail.com/start-selling/
