Channel Partnership
Build the distribution layer. Systematic trade partner acquisition for operators who sell through agents, studios, or channels.
The Problem
Trade distribution is won through relationships, not marketing.
The architect who specifies your product, the interior designer who recommends it, the purchasing agent who sources it, these are not won through advertising. They are won through a structured programme of finding, reaching, and activating the right people in the right way. We build that programme.
25+ partner leads per month. 44% activation rate. 60% of revenue attributable to the channel layer within 12 months of programme launch.

FAQ
Common questions about Channel Partnership
By mapping the universe of qualifying trade partners — architects, interior designers, showrooms, distributors — in target geographies, researching each partner's project type and client base, then initiating direct contact with messages that demonstrate knowledge of their practice and explain precisely why the partnership makes sense.
A structured 90-day programme typically activates 10–20 qualified trade partner relationships in a new market. The first confirmed partner relationship typically arrives within 30 days of deployment.
A stockist holds and sells inventory. A channel partner can include stockists, specifiers, showrooms, and interior designers who recommend or specify the product for client projects without holding inventory. SVNR builds programmes for both models depending on the brand's distribution strategy.
