We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new wholesale website, a significant milestone in our journey to empower local businesses and support our vibrant community in Hawai'i and beyond. This exciting development marks a strategic shift away from external services, driven by our commitment to fostering authentic connections and sustainability.
Why We Made the Change
The costs associated with utilizing external platforms were hindering our ability to create meaningful connections with retailers. At Kakou Collective, 'pilina' (relationship, connection) is one of our core values. By building our own site, we now have greater control over inventory management and customer relationships. This transition allows us to offer a more personalized and responsive service to our valued retailers.
Benefits for Our Retailers
For our retailers, this change signifies a deeper commitment to supporting local businesses and artisans. By choosing Kakou Collective, retailers directly contribute to the local economy and the preservation of Hawaiian culture. They receive not only high-quality products but also the assurance that their partnership fosters sustainable practices and community growth.
Empowering Local Support
Launching our wholesale website is not just about convenience; it's about empowerment. It empowers retailers to align their values with their business practices, supporting local artisans and sustainable initiatives. It empowers us to continue sharing the spirit of Hawai'i authentically and sustainably through our products.
Supporting a Locally Owned Business
By choosing to partner with us through our wholesale website, retailers can rest assured that they are supporting a locally owned and operated business. There are no hidden fees incurred by us or them, ensuring transparency and a mutually beneficial partnership built on trust and respect.
Join Us in Celebrating
We invite you to explore our new wholesale website and discover how partnering with Kakou Collective can enhance your business while making a positive impact on our community and environment. Together, we can continue to nurture a network of support for local businesses and celebrate the richness of Hawaiian culture.
