A unique business specialising in the design, manufacture, import, export, sales and distribution of The Articulate Gallery, a multi award-winning range of slot sided picture frames created specifically to showcase both 2D and 3D children’s artwork.
This clever and much loved product elevates children’s creations from the fridge door to a beautifully presented frame on the wall, helping to nurture creativity and build confidence in young learners.
The company has achieved more than a quarter of a million sales, supported by strong word of mouth and a wealth of high profile publicity including features on BBC Dragon’s Den, Britain’s Next Big Thing, This Morning and Love It Or List It.
Growth has been driven by media exposure and strong wholesale partnerships, supported by established contracts and Amazon seller accounts across the UK, Europe, the USA, and beyond, safeguarding the brand from counterfeit activity.
This turnkey operation is fully automated and mobile, operated solely by the director and requiring nothing more than an internet connection. Alongside substantial stock held in the United Kingdom and France, the purchaser will receive access to vendor accounts, intellectual property rights including trademarks and design registrations, comprehensive product data, a fully integrated website, automated stock and financial systems, membership with key trade associations and unique barcoding.
The business model delivers excellent margins and presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to build on an award winning concept that is already proven in the market and ready for its next stage of growth.
The vendor oversees the entire operation, from product design to manufacturing and global distribution. The business is highly streamlined and largely automated, with sales generated through its website and Amazon.
Fully relocatable and run solely by the owner, it can be managed from home using scalable digital systems. It benefits from strong IP protection and sustainable production.
Frames are manufactured in China via a reliable, quality-controlled supply chain and distributed globally through hubs in New Jersey, Keighley and Lieusaint.
A member of The Giftware Association and Glasgow Chambers of Commerce, the business also automates most of its sales, distribution and bookkeeping.
SAV in addition. The stock is across the UK and France, vendor accounts, trademarks and design registrations, full product data, an automated website with integrated stock and accounting systems, GS1 barcodes, supply-chain access, industry memberships and foreign currency bank accounts.
There is significant scope for growth through increased marketing and targeted online advertising. Running Amazon-specific promotional campaigns could significantly boost sales, especially given the strong presence on Amazon across multiple countries.
The product's appeal to families and education markets offers wide-reaching potential to become a household name. Expansion could also be facilitated by building broader retail partnerships or enhancing the product range or presentation.
Given the existing robust supply chain and automated infrastructure, this business is well-positioned for rapid scaling with minimal additional staff.
With investment and strategic marketing, the Articulate Gallery could capture a larger share of the children’s creativity and educational markets, capitalising on increasing demand for developmental and imaginative products.
