Welcome back to another episode of The Curious Consumer! We're coming at you with a special episode today with our lovely partners over at Faire, the global online marketplace for wholesale for independent retailers. Because Faire works with thousands of retailers and brands from around the world, they are an incredible source of data on burgeoning trends within countless categories.
We collaborated on a report which dove into the beauty & wellness category—everything from which ingredients are trending, to the unlikely retailers stocking beauty products. Then, we talked to Jen Burke, Faire's Chief Revenue Officer, to learn a little more about the stories behind the data and how Faire works.
Hope you enjoy this special episode!!! If you're a retailer looking to discover the coolest new products, or a brand looking to enter a breadth of retailers, check out Faire.com.
