FAQ

Wholesale gift lines

Questions, answered

These are the questions retailers ask me most. If yours isn’t here, just ask me — that’s the whole job.

What brands do you represent?

Seventeen wholesale gift lines in all. Fifteen come through Tango Showroom — Bunnies by the Bay, Cobblestone Living, Compendium, erin gray, EvaBelle, Faceplant, Lenny & Eva, LINNEA, LJ Sonder, Mary Lake Thompson, Meghan Browne Style, ORI London, True South Puzzles, Whispering Willow, and The Winding Road. Two I represent independently: Caroline B Cook and Sweet Tree Jewelry. See the full list →

What territory do you cover?

Tennessee and Kentucky for the fifteen Tango Showroom lines, written out of AmericasMart Atlanta. For the two independent lines — Caroline B Cook and Sweet Tree Jewelry — I work with retailers nationwide. See the full list →

How do I open a wholesale account with one of these lines?

Tell me which brand caught your eye, and from there I open the account and you’re in. If it’s easier to talk it through, call 865-217-6790 or email [email protected] — it’s me on the other end either way. Get a line sheet →

What are the minimums and opening-order recommendations?

Minimums vary by line — each brand sets its own opening-order minimum and reorder threshold. Request a line sheet for a brand’s exact figures. Request a line sheet →

Do you attend Atlanta Market?

Yes — January and June, at the Tango Showroom in AmericasMart. If you’re coming, let me know ahead of time and we’ll put time on the books so you’re not waiting on a chair. Book a market appointment →

I also send Weekly Retail Tidbits every Friday morning with market dates and what’s new across the lines. Get the Friday note →

Are you taking on new manufacturer lines?

Selectively. I’ve been in this industry since 2002 — first running my own retail business, then as a buyer, now as a rep — and I’m careful about what I add, because every line gets real attention from me, not just a slot on the roster. If you’re a manufacturer looking at Tennessee and Kentucky, or at going national with an independent rep who knows the gift channel, the representation page explains how I work and what I look for.
