Retailer Partnership

Partner with Corner Tactics

We offer select retailers the opportunity to carry our premium, handcrafted chess sets. Our partnership terms are straightforward, designed for mutual success, and non-negotiable.

Partnership Models

Corner Tactics offers two partnership models to accommodate different retail needs. Both models are available for physical stores, with specific terms for online retailers.

Wholesale

Purchase sets at wholesale pricing and set your own retail prices. Ideal for retailers who prefer inventory ownership and pricing control.

Consignment

Display and sell our products with payment upon sale. Corner Tactics receives an agreed commission from each sale. Available for physical stores only.

Note: Online retailers are permitted to purchase via wholesale only. Consignment is not available for any retailer who intends to sell our products online.

Pricing & Minimums

Our pricing structure is designed to be fair, transparent, and consistent across all retail partners.

Pricing Structure

Wholesale pricing and consignment commissions vary by product and are non-negotiable. All pricing information is available in our product catalog brochure, available upon request.

Minimum Floor

Regardless of product selection, there is a minimum floor of $95 per set of pieces. This applies to both wholesale and consignment arrangements.

Boards & Pieces

Boards and pieces are sold separately by Corner Tactics. Retailers are welcome to combine them into bundles for their customers if desired.

Delivery & Service

We provide convenient delivery options for retailers in the Buffalo area, with flexible arrangements for stores outside our immediate radius.

Buffalo Area (30-Mile Radius)

  • All first/initial order deliveries are free, whether consignment or wholesale, regardless of the number of sets ordered
  • For wholesale orders of 5 or more sets after the first order, in-person delivery by a sales representative is free

Outside Buffalo Area

For physical stores outside the 30-mile radius from Buffalo, delivery costs will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

In some cases, we may gift a first set to a store interested in our products, provided there is a commitment for future orders if that set sells at MSRP.

Requirements & Standards

To maintain brand integrity and ensure customer experience, all retail partners must adhere to these standards.

Display Requirement

Any store carrying Corner Tactics products must have at least one full set on display at all times. Display is defined as a Corner Tactics board paired with Corner Tactics pieces (two products intended to go together), visibly displayed on the sales floor.

Packaging Standards

Retailers are not permitted to alter, swap out, cover, or replace the manufacturer's original packaging. Products must be sold in their original Corner Tactics packaging.

Product Codes

All products come with manufacturer SKU codes. No products have UPC or GTIN codes.

Retail Pricing & MSRP

We provide pricing flexibility for in-person retailers while maintaining brand standards for online sales.

In-Person Retailers

Retailers are welcome and allowed to set their own prices without interference from Corner Tactics, so long as Corner Tactics obtains its negotiated portion of the final sale price (whether consignment or wholesale).

Corner Tactics will provide an MSRP for every product. This applies only to in-person retailers selling products in-store only.

Online Retailers

For online retailers purchasing at wholesale prices for online retail, they are bound to not sell the product lower than MSRP. Price restrictions apply to all online sales.

Product Information

Complete product catalogs with wholesale pricing for each product are available upon request.
