Then bring it to market.
About.
Hi, I'm Dan Fallak, and I am the founder of Versatile Brands Inc.
In the past 10 years I've built and launched many brands by relying on my sharp eye for market trends, an understanding of consumer behaviour and my instincts that tell me what kinds of things people want to purchase.
VBI is my launching pad for the products and brands that I develop and believe have a place in the market. While we continue to build the brands currently launched, we're also constantly working to discover and develop more things that people will want.
To date, we're proud to have sold hundreds of thousands of products direct to customers online, in person and via our wholesale partners. VBI products have graced shelves in over 1,000 retail doors across North America, including major retail chains like Urban Outfitters, Saks 5th Ave, Indigo, Marshalls & TJ Maxx.
Brands.
Our in-house brands range from tabletop, to bar accessory, to novelty, to wall art.
Projects.
We collaborated with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to develop unique gift items by licensing their historic Hockey Night In Canada brand properties.
The Official Hockey Night In Canada Puck Bottle Opener and Hockey Night In Canada Puck Coasters are available now all across Canada on the shelves of our exclusive retail partner Indigo Books and Music Inc.
Consulting.
We offer wholesale focused consulting services for DTC brands looking to expand their retail footprint and maintain a balanced omnichannel approach.
In the past we ran the wholesale growth team at Homesick Candles. In a short period of time, we secured new retail placements for Homesick with key retailers; which included buys from Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Paper Source, Neighborhood Goods, and L.L. Bean.
We also spearheaded the streamlining of their SMB wholesale operations by partnering with the team at Faire wholesale to make Homesick one of their very first enterprise level suppliers.
Reach.
We have inroads with the buying teams for many major retail vendors.
We also have relationships with a variety of key rep groups, wholesale platforms, and retail placement associates.
