Why shop with a retailer?

Why purchase from a multi brand retailer?

You may be wondering why would I purchase from a multi brand retailer and not just from an individual brands website?

There are many benefits to purchasing cloth nappies from an authorised retailer especially when starting out or not sure what you want.

Firstly retailers often carry a range of brands allowing you to purchase a range of options in the one place. There are so many brands and styles available currently that being able to purchase a few different ones at once helps you to figure out what works best for you and your baby. It will also save you on postage as you will be able to order the range all in one order.

Secondly if your not sure what your after most retailers will be able to help you work out what will work for you based on your needs and circumstances. This advice will be unbiased as retailers are not brand aligned and most have used the brands they carry themselves. Many like us will also offer free consultations or demos to let you view a range of nappies in person before committing as we understand how hard these things can be to decide sometimes by just looking at pictures online. Retailers like myself are also always up for a chat about cloth and personally I love helping people find what will work for them.

Thirdly retailers are able to design trial packs with a range of brands to suit your needs. While you can purchase trial packs from just about any brand that includes enough to get you started or their different styles a trial pack from a retailer will contain a range of brands and styles. This is especially helpful when you are just starting out and not sure what you want or what will suit your baby. These packs are also handy for people who just want a variety and not the same brand in their collection. I’ve always personally found it handy to have different brands and styles for different times and shapes of babies.

Fourthly shopping with a retailer not only helps keep 1 small business going but also the brands. The cloth nappy world is full of mum and dad run businesses that rely on the support of consumers to provide for their families. When you shop with a retailer and they restock with a brand both businesses benefit. Shopping small with a retailer also means more personalised service and every purchase definitely demands a happy dance here and is very much appreciated.

Finally one of the biggest deciding factors and benefits for many is the savings on postage. Many retailers as well as stocking a variety of brands also stock a range of other eco friendly and baby products so you can shop in one place and not pay multiple postage costs.

So next time your looking to add to your collection why not choose to purchase from a retailer. Let me know if there are any other reasons you shop with a retailer too.
