Our strengths are communication and speed.
We are a specialized planning, manufacturing & wholesale company focused on artist-branded lifestyle goods. We respect each artist’s brand concept and policy, and strive to deeply understand the features of their products.
For retailers, the criteria for selecting suppliers are not only “profitability,” but also factors that cannot be measured by numbers alone, such as whether the product matches the concept of the store and whether it provides value to customers who visit the store.
We believe that our role is to collect, accumulate, communicate, and disseminate such “what you want to know” through daily communication with artists and partner companies.
And “speed” is important in carrying them out.
Our policy is to respond within 24 hours anyway.
Of course, if the response is fast, it will be within a few minutes.
Time is money. Time is finite.
Our strength is that we spare no effort to solve your problems as quickly as possible with our maximum effort = “best effort”.
In addition to increasing the number of artists we handle, we will also focus on discovering up-and-coming artists.
We will do our best to contribute to the further prosperity of each store.
