OUR BRAND COLLECTIVE
HOW IT WORKS
+ Brands featured in our store collective typically operate on a solely consignment model (payouts are made to vendors on a monthly basis after items are sold). Typical consignment share is a 50/50 split between the vendor and Pop-Local (net of any discounts up to 10% and before sales tax). Upon brand acceptance, further details will be disclosed and our team will work with you to determine the best plan for your specific product selection.
+Wholesale Consideration: Pop-Local has a very limited budget for wholesale products. If you would like to be considered, please email us directly with ‘wholesale consideration’ in the subject line. Include your wholesale line sheet and purchasing terms along with your application when emailing our team at onboarding@plocalvancouver.com .
