We are excited to have a partner like Powered by People to champion the cause of sustainable, craft-based and intentional brands that can otherwise get drowned in a sea of mass-made fast fashion makers. We found great support across the board and have been able to reach high-end retailers through this partnership. We are excited to see this partnership grow and get stronger.
Working with Powered by People has been a meaningful part of Studio Variously's growth. As a first generation immigrant owned small, independent, woman-owned textile design studio in Michigan, having a reliable dropship partner has allowed us to expand our retail reach while staying true to our values of thoughtful craftsmanship, small-batch & ethical production.
The platform has helped streamline fulfillment for retail partnerships, making it easier to collaborate with respected retailers such as Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's while maintaining a consistent customer experience. Their operational support has enabled us to focus on designing new collections, strengthening artisan partnerships, and scaling our business sustainably rather than being limited by logistics.
We also appreciate Powered by People's commitment to supporting purpose-driven brands and makers. Their marketplace and retail network have created valuable opportunities for visibility and growth that would have been difficult for a small business to access independently.
For brands seeking a partner that understands both operational excellence and the value of artisan-made products, we highly recommend Powered by People.
We were very happy and eager to onboard with PBP for the opportunity to work with large online retailers like Nordstrom and Macy's. Nordstrom added us right away and sales have been steadily increasing. We have also been onboarded with other online retailers that are producing steady sales which we are very pleased with.
The set up process was pretty seamless with shopify integration, however we did have to go into each listing and add additional required information which took a little longer but was expected.
Managing and shipping orders has been super easy, we are still getting familiar with the payout structure but working on it.
Overall we are happy that we partnered with PBP!
By partnering with PBP, we have gained access to larger, luxury retailers that would have otherwise taken us years to build a relationship with. We have been able to learn new data around our products and what sells to different audiences, and consequently have seen an uptick in sales for products that had not been popular before!
The integration is relatively smooth and quick, though there are a few road blocks that we have experienced. Namely, with the "required" fields for products. Those require a lot of dedicated time from our team to get correct. But otherwise, the integration is really helpful & saves a lot of setup time.
An easy set up (integrates well with Shopify) and a great way to extend your brand's reach and exposure. PBP has high quality partners and a helpful team to help your brand grow. Highly recommend.
Anzy Home's experience with PBP
Working with PBP has been a great experience overall. The platform has made it much easier for us to expand into the US market and connect with major retailers we might not have reached otherwise, and the setup process (Shopify integration, CatalogAgent™ tools) has genuinely simplified how we manage our catalog across channels.
If there's one area we'd love to see improved, it's visibility into the retailer pipeline. As a brand, we'd benefit from a clearer, more structured overview of:
Which retailers we've already gone live with
Which retailers PBP staff have pitched us to, but haven't made a decision yet
The reasoning behind those pending or declined decisions
Having this kind of transparent, ongoing feedback loop would help us understand where we stand with each retailer and what we can improve to increase our acquisition rate. Right now that information isn't always clear, and having it more visible would make it easier for us to act on it proactively rather than finding out after the fact.
Overall, we're happy to be part of the PBP community and appreciate the opportunities it's created for our brand.
Warm Regards,
Inga
It's a great way to present your offerings to various retailers - PBP does the work, presenting your products to potential clients - and they they bring you the orders, which you ship via drop ship (synced to Shopify). They're a reputable resource & trustworthy.
I've been very happy with PBP Dropship. Soon after we uploaded our product collections to PBP, we saw that PBP was able to get us onto Garmentory. A few weeks later while conducting a random Google search of our brand, we discovered PBP Dropship had also been able to get us onto Nordstrom.
I will add that both the onboarding process and ongoing partnership with PBP has been a really good experience. Diana is excellent to work with. During onboarding, she was always willing to meet when necessary, to make sure we were onboarded successfully, and is regularly available to answer any follow up questions.
We love working with Powered by People! Their team is always supportive and attentive, open to feedback and ready to work with us to make sure that the dropship experience runs smoothly, so that our products are connecting with the people they should.
As the owner of Orion Wellness, I’m excited to connect with retailers who appreciate thoughtfully made botanical products. I’m still early in my experience with Powered by People, and I appreciate the opportunity to introduce my collection to a broader wholesale audience. I’m looking forward to building relationships with stores that feel like a natural fit for Orion.
