Faire Wholesale Success: Growing to 1,000+ Retailers with Andrew Kemp

In this episode of Let's Talk Shop I'm joined by Andrew Kemp from Bare Kind and Candid Founders. We talk about how Bare Kind grew from a product idea into a wholesale brand stocked in over 1,000 retailers, why Faire became such a big part of that growth, and how Andrew now helps other brands do the same through his Faire-specialist agency.

We dig into what it really takes to succeed on Faire, why being value-driven is good business, and how to think about delegation, hiring and getting yourself out of the weeds as a founder.

In this episode, we cover:

  • How Bare Kind started and why donating 10% of profits is central to the brand
  • The shift from DTC to wholesale and the role Faire played in that growth
  • What retailers actually need from you on Faire to feel confident buying
  • The power of reviews, product photography and clear USPs on the Faire platform
  • Why founders need to stop trying to do everything themselves
  • When it makes sense to hire a Faire specialist agency vs keeping things in-house
  • Top tips for optimizing your Faire storefront and growing wholesale sales
