For brands, retailers and reverse logistics providers
trialcove lets customers pay to use a product at home for two or four weeks before deciding whether to keep it.
New stock can be offered at its full retail price, helping turn customer interest into a sale without relying on a discount. Returned and graded stock gets another opportunity to sell before it moves into bulk clearance.
The stock stays where it is. We integrate with the retailer, warehouse or reverse logistics provider that already holds and fulfils it.
Two different opportunities, not one. New stock helps a customer decide without being discounted to do it. Returned and graded stock gets another opportunity to sell before it moves into clearance, priced against retail rather than against what a pallet buyer will pay.
Brand new stock
Getting a product into somebody’s hands is the most persuasive thing you can do, and normally the most expensive. A trial does it for the cost of a delivery — and the customer pays that, not you.
The case for new stock
Returned and graded stock
Returns from retailers, and from the reverse-logistics providers who already handle them. They list honestly at the condition they are actually in, somebody takes one home for a fortnight, and they pay a real price for it if they keep it.
The case for graded stockA photograph asks somebody to imagine an item. A trial puts it in their kitchen for a fortnight.
A normal return is pure cost. A trial that ends in a return has already earned its fee, and that fee covers the round trip.
