Merchandising That Works: The Partner's Competitive Edge 

As an agent, reseller, or partner in the retail media and display world, you're constantly under pressure. Your clients—the major Brands and Retailers—don't just want solutions; they demand innovation, demonstrable sustainability, and, frankly, a partner who makes them look good.

In a market saturated with flimsy cardboard and same-old thinking, your ability to bring something genuinely better and proven to the table is your ultimate competitive edge.


That's where Vertical Vendors comes in. We’ve designed our spring-loaded metal units not just to sell more products, but to be the definitive asset in your portfolio—the one that wins pitches and deepens client trust.


The New Client Demands: Innovation and Sustainability

When you’re pitching to a brand or a retailer today, risk is the biggest killer of a deal. The risk of being seen as not innovative, or worse, not addressing critical sustainability targets.


The days of disposable, paper-based displays are dwindling, and your clients know it. They need a credible, long-term alternative, and you need to be the one to provide it.


Our award-winning unit, manufactured in our facility right here in the UK, is built from steel—the most recycled material in the world. This is our foundation for a truly circular design thinking process.


Forget managing the logistics of constantly replacing temporary displays. One of our units can replace an average of 65 cardboard FSDUs over its lifespan. That’s a serious sustainability win for your client, and it positions you as a strategic partner offering a permanent, planet-friendly solution.


Give Your Clients the Results They Can Trust

Innovation and sustainability are great, but the bottom line is still... the bottom line. You need to offer solutions that have already passed the ultimate test: driving sales.


We’re not just selling displays; we’re selling a proven result. From previous rollouts, we’ve seen one particular global brand achieve an average of 35% increase in impulse sales. This is a powerful, quantifiable metric that turns a 'nice to have' unit into an essential part of your client's retail strategy.


Durability that reflects your quality:

  • Our units are made from robust sheet metal and are designed to last. We have units using this technology that have been in store for over 10 years.
  • This longevity means less hassle for your team, lower ongoing costs for your client, and a better return on investment (ROI) that you can proudly present.


Easy to Deploy, Simple to Re-Brand

Your success relies on efficiency and flexibility. You can’t afford complicated systems or units that require an engineering degree to set up.

The VV unit is designed for rapid deployment across your client’s entire network, whether that’s in the UK, Europe, or the bustling markets of the USA and Mexico:

  1. Zero Assembly: The units arrive ready to go, requiring no assembly in-store (apart from placing the header card on top).
  2. Effortless Re-branding: We know campaigns change quickly. Our system allows for fast, cost-effective cosmetic changes with card wraps or magnetic graphics. This means your clients can run multiple campaigns from a single, durable unit—saving them money and making your service look incredibly agile.
  3. Bespoke Solutions: Have a unique product that needs a custom fit? We can advise on developing bespoke units for specific pack details, sizes, and weights. Crucially, the development costs are minimal—typically around £1500–£2000—making customisation accessible, even on smaller rollouts.



By partnering with Vertical Vendors, you’re not just providing a product; you’re providing a competitive edge. You’re giving your clients the innovative, sustainable, and results-driven solution they are actively looking for.
