Sell on Homebase Ireland with Virtualstock

The Range have opened up Homebase Ireland for suppliers and are inviting interested brands and retailers to jump on board. Categories on Homebase Ireland are as you would expect, so if you have goods in the decorating, DIY and garden and trade verticals and can ship to Ireland then this is one for you.

On offer is: Access to a growing new customer base Incremental revenue opportunities Seamless onboarding and order management Dedicated onboarding and commercial support The backing of one of the UK’s fastest-growing retail groups Homebase Ireland is not a traditional marketplace model, it’s 2p (dropship) through Virtualstock powered by Logicbroker.

There are some huge advantages to this method of selling – put simply you set your sell price and Homebase Ireland not only set the retail price but also take care of all the marketing.

They effectively treat your products as if it was their own stock and will include in their own promotions, so there are no additional fees like Retail Media that you are expected to invest in to get your products seen.

It’s very much like a traditional supplier-retailer arrangement with the only difference being that you’ll dropship products individually as they sell rather than selling 1p and sending in goods by the pallet load.

If you’re already set up for dropship (perhaps with Argos, Curry’s, John Lewis, Robert Dyas, Screwfix etc) through Virtualstock then this should be a really simply integration for you to adopt. The only question you should be asking is if you’re set up for shipping products to Irish customers.
