Our son Max created a line of sports mugs, but when he needed help turning his latest idea, The Golf Mug with a Green, into a 3D prototype we could bring to market, Ready for Retail came to the rescue. Their support made the process smooth and fun, and now Max’s idea is out in the world.

Meeting Brian O'Dell was a game-changer for my business. His insight, guidance, and genuine support helped me navigate the Walmart Open Call process with confidence. Thanks to his encouragement and expertise, I walked out with a Golden Ticket—and a huge opportunity for growth. I’m incredibly grateful for the connection and everything it has led to.

I’ve been working with this team since 2019, before Ready for Retail was even fully formed. Watching it grow into what it is today—and seeing how powerful the network has become—has been incredible. Their guidance helped me launch in Walmart, and their connections continue to open doors.

We had the product, but Ready for Retail helped us tell the full story. The Marketing Playbook they built with us showed Walmart exactly how we’d drive people to the shelf—and that made all the difference.
