In an increasingly homogenous retail landscape, Not On The High Street stands as a beacon of creativity, diversity and innovation. The online marketplace is dedicated to showcasing products from small UK brands and offers customers a refreshing alternative to the mundane shopping experience that dominates the market. Find out why Not On The High Street is set to make a significant impact on the UK retail sector.
Small businesses: the heart of creativity and innovation
Unlike their larger counterparts, the agility of small businesses allows them to respond quickly to market trends, experiment with new ideas, and bring unique products to market. They can also keep craftsmanship at the core of their business, rather than relying on mass or overseas production techniques used by larger brands.
Many of the small businesses selling on Not On The High Street continue to create their products by hand, offering customers unique products. Not On The High Street believes in the power of these small brands to drive innovation and bring continued creativity to consumers and British retail.
A unique shopping experience
Not On The High Street offers customers a unique shopping experience by connecting them with over 5,000 small, hand-picked brands from across the UK. In a retail sector where uniformity often prevails, the market is a treasure trove of distinctive, high-quality products created by British designers, craftspeople and curators.
From bespoke jewellery and handcrafted homewares to fashion, gifts and gourmet food products, customers can find an eclectic mix of ideas to suit all tastes. By shopping at Not On The High Street, customers are not only able to pick up more unusual products, but they are also supporting small businesses in the process.
Defending diversity
At Not On The High Street, diversity is a core value, not just a buzzword. Committed to showcasing products from a diverse range of small brands, each bringing their own unique style and individuality.
This diversity extends beyond the products themselves and all the way to the entrepreneurs behind them. By offering a platform to businesses that might otherwise struggle to gain visibility in a crowded retail market where only the big players tend to succeed, Not On The High Street is making it easier for small businesses to enter the retail sector and contributing to the estimated £2.4 trillion turnover of SMEs in the UK by 2023.
Empowering small businesses
One of the biggest challenges facing small businesses is finding their way in the competitive and monopolised retail sector. Not On The High Street offers these businesses the support and exposure they need to thrive.
This highly active marketplace not only connects them with a wider customer base, but also offers them resources and guidance to help them grow – from advice on current market trends, product development and packaging, to personalised commercial support from their dedicated team. Not On The High Street enables small brands to succeed and thrive in a retail environment and economy that favours large corporations.
A vision for the future
As the retail sector continues to evolve, Not On The High Street remains committed to fostering a vibrant and diverse marketplace. Its vision is to make small businesses the future, becoming the go-to destination for customers looking for distinctive, high-quality products, whilst supporting the entrepreneurs behind them.
