Retail Marketplace Connect · For high-performing Amazon and Walmart sellers
Sell on Best Buy and Target. Not just Amazon.

- End-to-end onboarding with two premium closed marketplaces — application, approval and set-up
- Ongoing listing management and active promotion management by a dedicated marketplace consultant
- Online price management across channels, so nothing undercuts your Amazon or Walmart listings

Why sellers stall
Strong on Amazon doesn't mean approved at Target.
Closed marketplaces choose their sellers. The application is a pitch, the set-up is a compliance project, and the listing that converts on Amazon rarely transfers as-is. Most sellers try once, hear nothing, and stop.
-
01
You can't just sign up
Best Buy and Target curate who sells on their sites. They want a category story, brand ownership and a track record — presented the way a retail buyer expects to see it.
-
02
Vendor set-up is a compliance project
Content specs, shipping and returns requirements, integrations, paperwork. Miss one and your listings never go live.
-
03
Amazon listings don't transfer as-is
Each marketplace has its own content standards and search behaviour. Copy-pasting your Amazon detail page is the fastest way to a suppressed listing.
-
04
Channel conflict gets you delisted
If your price on one marketplace undercuts another, retailers notice. Price parity has to be managed every week, across every channel.
- Retail Marketplace Connect handles all four — with a team that has sat on the retailer's side of the desk.

Client story · UltraHuman
The team that took UltraHuman from Kickstarter to Best Buy, Costco and Walmart.
In 2022, UltraHuman launched its smart ring on Kickstarter and Indiegogo. By mid-2023 their main competitor was in every Best Buy in America and UltraHuman had no retail presence. They partnered with Retailbound in June 2023.
Once retail-ready, we facilitated meetings with Best Buy and other top retailers. In under six months that led to on-air exposure at QVC — where the ring sold out in seconds during the Black Friday event — and, in 2024, launches across the U.S. and Canada:
A note from the founder
“Most Amazon sellers we meet have done the hard part — a product people buy, and reviews that prove it. What they don't have is a way into the marketplaces that don't take applications from everyone. Our team has sat on both sides of the retail buyer's desk, and we know what Best Buy and Target want to see before they say yes. If your marketplace business is performing and you're ready for the next channel, I'd like to hear about it.”
What clients say
Word of mouth is still the best advice.
“I hired him to help me get the Neck Hammock into retail, but he has done so much more than that. He helped me create a top notch sell sheet, retail box design, and pitch presentation to present to buyers. He has also helped me get my MAP pricing under control and pointed out important details in contracts I would have easily overlooked. Anyone can find a buyer, but it's all about finding the right buyer.”
“We were overwhelmed and needed immediate expertise in the field that we did not have internally. Five years later, Yohan and his team have been instrumental in bringing our brand to life — in big box stores, via e-commerce, and TV shopping. Yohan's network is expansive and the Retailbound team is willing to tackle any challenge. We would not be where we are today without them.”
“As a startup looking to expand into the retail space, we are very happy to have found Retailbound. Yohan brings a wealth of knowledge, the ability to execute, and a contagious energy. He has brought vision and order to our retail strategy and has not failed to deliver on any promise or deliverable.”
