Dependable Distribution Tailored for You
Clear answers on our distribution model, route to market, channel control, and how we partner with brands.
What type of distributor is Do4You Distribution?
We operate a procurement-led distribution model. This means we buy and hold inventory, plan volumes in advance, and place products only into approved retail channels. Our focus is on controlled expansion, repeat ordering, and long-term brand integrity rather than opportunistic or reactive wholesale.
Where and how are our products sold once you distribute them?
Products are placed exclusively into approved, brick-and-mortar retail partners within our controlled distribution network. We work closely with brands to ensure products are sold in environments that align with brand positioning, pricing strategy, and long-term market goals.
Do you sell products online or on Amazon?
Amazon is never a default route to market. Where online marketplaces are involved, they are treated as opt-in, brand-approved channels and managed with the same discipline as physical retail. Any online activity is aligned with brand strategy and never allowed to undermine pricing, retail partners, or brand value.
How do you protect pricing and brand positioning?
We operate only within approved channels and align closely with brand pricing structures. By owning inventory, planning volumes, and avoiding uncontrolled wholesale exposure, we reduce the risk of discounting, grey-market leakage, and inconsistent brand representation.
How do minimum order quantities (MOQs) work?
MOQs are structured around planned procurement rather than one-off purchasing. Minimums vary by product and brand, but are designed to support predictable replenishment, stable availability, and commercially sensible growth rather than short-term volume.
How do you approach volume growth over time?
We focus on repeat, planned ordering. Initial volumes are agreed collaboratively, with growth driven by sell-through performance, replenishment cycles, and channel strategy. Our goal is steady, sustainable expansion — not sudden spikes that create downstream issues.
What retail network do you supply into?
We supply a vetted network of independent and established brick-and-mortar retailers across the UK. We deliberately avoid uncontrolled or grey-market channels, ensuring products are placed only where they align with brand values and long-term objectives.
How do you manage inventory and availability?
We operate with full inventory ownership and visibility. Stock levels are managed in line with agreed demand forecasts and replenishment cycles, supporting reliable availability, reduced stock-outs, and consistent supply without reactive ordering.
Can you support larger or bulk procurement programmes?
Yes. Bulk procurement is managed through forward planning rather than reactive buying. Volumes are agreed in advance based on demand forecasting and channel strategy, supporting predictable turnover, stable stock rotation, and controlled retail placement.
What type of brands do you work best with?
We work best with brands that value control, consistency, and long-term growth. Our model is designed for partners who care where and how their products are sold, prioritise brand integrity over short-term volume, and want a disciplined, reliable route to market.
