The problem
Most prospect lists are already out of date.
Dead lists
Bought lists rot. You find out one bounce at a time.
Generic inboxes
info@ is not a buyer. It's a contact form with someone's job attached to it.
No signal
A list tells you a store exists. Not whether they'd carry a $28 print.
How it works
Four steps, in order.
Define the territory
A state, a metro, a category, or an institutional roster.
We canvass it store by store
No scraping, no purchased lists. The sweep is run fresh each time.
Everything gets verified against its source
The URL goes in the row, so any claim in the sheet is checkable.
You get a ranked list
Sorted by fit, scored for readiness, ready to work through in order.
What you get
Three deliverables.
The spreadsheet
One row per retailer: store, category, city and state, website, socials, named buyer, email, phone, fit grade, readiness score, notes, source URLs.
| Store | Buyer | Fit | Ready |
|---|---|---|---|
| Halcyon Paper Co. | Tobias Ferranttobias@example.com | 91 | |
| Sable & Stem | not confidently verified | 34 |

The territory brief
A short written read on where the density is and what to lead with.
Density concentrates along the Piedmont corridor, with a second cluster around the coastal historic towns. Institution shops outnumber boutiques two to one.
Lead with the museum stores. They buy in autumn and they publish who does it.
Sections: density map notes · buying calendar · what to lead with.
The two scores
Two numbers, because
they answer two questions.
Fit grade
Brand match, judged on what the store already sells and who it sells to. Independent of whether we found a contact.
- Clear brand match. Pursue first.
- Plausible. Worth a considered pitch.
- Adjacent at best. Keep for later.
Readiness
Zero to a hundred: how actionable the row is today.
- A named buyer, not a role inbox
- An email we found published
- An active, trading website
- Adjacent products already on the shelf
- A Faire account, where one exists
“A perfect-fit store where we haven’t named the buyer yet is still an A. It just isn’t a 90.”
Most lists collapse these into one number. That hides the two things you actually need to know — is this worth pursuing, and can I act on it this morning.
Where we look
Two kinds of shelf.
Main street
Independent gift shops, boutiques, stationers, home stores and garden centres. All 50 states.
Institutions
Museum shops, botanical gardens, arboreta, zoo and aquarium stores, nature centres and historic sites. High-margin gift buyers — and they publish staff directories, which is where the named buyers are.
Most lists never look here.
What we reject
Cut first.
- National chains
- Dollar and discount stores
- Souvenir-only shops
- Closed businesses
- Online-only sellers
- Wholesalers and distributors
- Stale and broken sites
Six excellent prospects beat sixty padded rows.
