Direct-to-Consumer Expansion Trends International has actively expanded its direct-to-consumer reach through strategic acquisitions of Art.com and AllPosters.com in 2023, and continues to grow ShopTrends.com. This presents opportunities to collaborate on co-branded campaigns, exclusive licensed collections, and bulk B2C distribution partnerships that leverage their established online storefronts and customer base.

Licensing Catalog Breadth With over 200 licenses and 2,500 products across multiple brands (SandyLion, DateWorks, InkWorks, Antioch), there is a strong opportunity to propose new licensed product lines or cross-sell bundles to existing licensors and retailers seeking wider assortments, seasonal calendars, and themed wall art within expansive license networks.

Sustainability Focus The shift toward plastic-free and recycled packaging in 2023 signals a receptiveness to sustainable product development. Engage with buyers on eco-friendly poster formats, recycled calendar materials, and green packaging programs to align with retailer sustainability ambitions and consumer demand.

Strategic Leadership Recent leadership changes, including the appointment of a new CEO in 2025, suggest refreshed strategic priorities and potential for new partnerships, channel strategies, or updated licensing initiatives. This can be leveraged to position new collaborations as aligning with their latest growth agenda.

Financial Scale & Opportunity Revenue is in the high hundreds of millions, indicating substantial buying power and potential for enterprise-level deals, large-format licensing programs, and volume-based terms with retailers and licensors seeking scalable, manufacturer-backed supply partners.
