We don’t just automate outreach—we orchestrate personalized engagement across every channel your customers use. Here’s exactly how we do it.

Most brands struggle with cold outreach because they’re either: - Sending generic templates that get ignored (spray and pray) - Manually personalizing emails that don’t scale (boutique but slow) - Using “AI tools” that produce obvious, robotic messages (the worst of both worlds) We built a different system: Smart automation that finds the right people, says the right thing, at the right time—across Faire, email, trade shows, and beyond.

Pillar 1: Smart Prospecting

Find the Right Retailers, Not Just Any Retailers

The Problem

Most brands waste time reaching out to retailers who will never buy—wrong category, wrong price point, wrong geography.

Our Approach

We use AI to research and filter prospects faster than any human team could: - Analyze 15+ data sources per prospect (LinkedIn, company sites, trade publications, Faire activity, etc.) - Match against your ideal customer profile (ICP) based on your best existing customers - Identify trigger events (new funding, expansion, category changes) that signal buying intent - Score prospects so you focus on high-potential opportunities first

The Outcome

Instead of reaching out to 1,000 random retailers, we help you connect with 200 high-fit prospects who actually need what you sell.

Time saved

What would take a human 30 minutes per prospect takes our system 30 seconds.

Icon

Pillar 2: Relevant Messaging

Personalization That Goes Beyond {FirstName}

The Problem

Generic templates get ignored. Basic merge fields feel robotic. True personalization doesn’t scale.

Our Approach

We don’t just insert company names—we understand context: - Cohort-based messaging: Group prospects by shared challenges (new stores opening, seasonal buying patterns, category trends) - Behavioral triggers: When someone visits your pricing page 3 times, we send a helpful message addressing common objections - Channel coordination: If a retailer discovers you on Faire but doesn’t order, we follow up via email with relevant context - Voice consistency: Every message sounds like you, not a robot

The Outcome

Prospects feel like you understand them specifically—because we do. That’s why our messages get 3-6x higher response rates.

What this looks like

“Hi {FirstName}, I see you work at {Company}. Want to check out our products?” - ff “Hi Sarah—saw you just opened your third location in Portland. We work with several boutiques expanding in the Pacific Northwest who love our net-60 terms and flexible minimums. Worth a conversation?”

Pillar 3: Right Timing

Send When Prospects Are Ready to Listen

The Problem

Even great messages fail if sent at the wrong time. Most tools just blast on a schedule.

Our Approach

We identify moments when prospects are most likely to engage: - Trigger events:Funding announcements, new store openings, hiring expansions - Seasonal patterns: Buying cycles for different retail categories (fashion vs home goods vs gift) - Behavioral signals: Website visits, Faire searches, competitor research - Multi-channel timing: Coordinate Faire messages, email follow-ups, and trade show outreach so they reinforce each other

The Outcome

Your outreach lands when prospects are actively thinking about solutions like yours—not randomly interrupting their day.

Example

A home goods retailer searches “coastal decor suppliers” on Faire → We trigger an email within 24 hours showcasing your coastal collection → If they don’t respond, we add them to a trade show follow-up list → Every touchpoint builds on the last.

What We Do:

Optimize your Faire listings for discovery (SEO, imagery, positioning) - Identify retailers searching for your category and reach out directly - Re-engage retailers who viewed your products but didn’t order - Track Faire activity and trigger follow-ups via other channels

One Customer Record, Every Channel

One Customer Record, Every Channel

We don’t treat Faire contacts, email subscribers, and trade show leads as separate people. We unify them into one view so you can: - See the full journey (discovered on Faire → emailed twice → met at trade show → ordered) - Avoid duplicate outreach (no one gets the same message on three channels) - Personalize based on complete history (reference past interactions regardless of channel) - Make smarter decisions (which channels drive the most revenue for which customer types?)

Case Study

The Faire Brand Scaling Beyond the Platform

Challenge:

Mid-sized home goods brand getting 60% of wholesale revenue from Faire, but hitting platform limits (slow discovery, margin pressure from 15% fee, commodity positioning).

What We Did:

1. Smart Prospecting: Identified 300 high-fit retailers in their category not yet on Faire 2. Relevant Messaging: Personalized outreach referencing shared Faire connections and category trends 3. Multi-Channel Orchestration: Coordinated email campaigns with Faire activity and trade show prep

Results:

8% email response rate (vs. 2% industry average) - 45 new direct wholesale accounts in 90 days - 30% increase in average order value (direct vs. Faire orders) - Reduced Faire dependency from 60% to 40% of wholesale revenue.

The Reorder Rate Accelerator

Challenge:

Fashion accessories brand with strong initial orders but weak repeat business (22% reorder rate vs. 40% industry benchmark).

What We Did:

1. Behavioral Triggers: Set up automated campaigns triggered by order history, seasonality, and inventory patterns 2. Personalized Recommendations: Used AI to suggest complementary products based on past orders 3. Unified Data: Connected Shopify, Faire, and email into one customer view

Results:

Reorder rate increased from 22% to 38% in 6 months - 25% of reorders came from automated campaigns (set-and-forget revenue) - Average time between orders decreased from 9 months to 6 months

Results:

Pre-booked 18 meetings before the show (vs. 3 walk-ins previously) - 72% follow-up rate within 48 hours (vs. 15% previously) - $85K in orders attributed to the show (vs. $30K average) - 5.6x ROI on trade show investment

Why Smoothed vs. Doing It Yourself or Using Basic Tools

VS

DIY Manual Outreach

What you get:

Authentic, personal messages - Full control

What you don’t:

Can only personalize ~10 emails/day - No time for deep research on 100+ prospects - Inconsistent follow-up - Can’t coordinate across channels

Smoothed difference:

We give you DIY-quality personalization at 100x the scale.

VS

Generic Email Tools (Apollo, Instantly, etc.)

What you get:

Email automation and tracking - Basic merge fields

What you don’t:

Real personalization (just {FirstName} {Company}) - Multi-source intelligence gathering - Multi-channel coordination - Wholesalespecific expertise (they’re built for SaaS sales)

Smoothed difference:

We’re purpose-built for wholesale brands with deep platform knowledge (Faire, trade shows, retail buying cycles).

VS

“AI Agent” Hype Tools

What you get:

Buzzwords and promises

What you don’t:

Transparency about what AI actually does - Systems thinking (they layer AI on broken processes) - Human oversight for quality - Proven results in your industry

Smoothed difference:

We’re honest about what AI can and can’t do. We build systems first, then use AI to scale them.

VS

Traditional Agencies

What you get:

Strategic thinking and hands-on service

What you don’t:

Scalability (they’re expensive and slow) - Technology leverage (they’re human-dependent) - Data and optimization (they don’t track at granular level)

Smoothed difference:

We combine agency-level strategy with technologyenabled execution.
You get both thinking and doing
