About Brand Masters
Our company presents tempting (food) products in atypical places in the non-food retail channel. These are places where producers of these goods normally have no network and expertise. The retailer often has no affinity with these products. For both, it is not their core business, but they can easily generate extra revenue and margin with it. We not only offer manufacturers our extensive network of non-food retailers, we also help them to present their products successfully. After all, the moment of impulse requires specific packaging, dimensions and timing. We strive for a lasting relationship. In other words: as quickly as possible and as controlled as necessary.
