Ben Mercier, customer director at Weird Fish, says: “In the constantly changing retail environment, it is our objective to identify new markets and opportunities for growth to continue driving our business forward. We see collaboration as fundamental to our overall success as a business. Partnering with highly established fashion retailers like Next and Zalando is a logical step in building our brand awareness into 2022 and beyond.”
The new open market partnerships consolidate Weird Fish’s existing online presence with ecommerce leaders Amazon, Ebay and OnBuy, as the brand drives forward its ambitious plan to expand internationally.
To reward customer loyalty and provide support in the face of rising living costs, the retailer has also recently announced it is freezing prices for its spring/summer trading period. By bucking the trend, Weird Fish says it is working to keep its products financially accessible and appealing while the fashion sector weathers the retail storm.
The multi-channel retailer operates 15 branded stores and 300 stockists, as well as a growing online channel.
