“A month after working with you I got my first retailer on a ‘proper basis’, rather than simply sale-or-return.
Also, at that time, everything on my website was costed for sale ‘direct-to-customer’ and Hils was instrumental in helping me organise and structure my prices in a way that enabled me to secure a win for a potential retailer and a better win for myself.”
