Working with three sixty merchandising has been great for our business.  With us having such a small team it was critical we find a partner that would help us develop and grow our brand with Kroger.  The first thing that stood out to us is that their team really took the time to understand our brand, to learn how we operate and understand our expatiations, essentially becoming an extension of our team.  All critical pieces to a solid partnership .  Layer on top the relationships they have at multiple levels and their ability to get meetings with key senior leadership, you can’t ask for much more.   We look forward to the continued growth and partnership with three sixty for years to come!

Head of Sales, Seven Sundays

We had been trying to get into Kroger for a while and couldn't seem to get any traction or communication back from our buyer.  From the moment we met John at three sixty merchandising, we knew we had found a great partner.  He gave us information about the buyer and helped us create a plan that got us the face to face meeting we needed.  Not only did we get our top three items into Kroger nationally, we created a successful launch plan that has driven the in store execution we needed to drive trial and velocities and set us up well for expansion in our next review.  The expertise, guidance, persistence, and prioritization they have provided has been critical to our success.
