Rhino USA's expansion from online marketplace to physical retail is the focus, with VP of Sales TJ Hyland detailing the brand's strategic approach. A key element of Rhino’s success involves prioritizing brand-building and demand creation, rather than solely focusing on cost-cutting. Hyland emphasizes the importance of social media marketing, particularly TikTok, in driving in-store traffic and brand awareness. Rhino differentiates itself from competitors by fostering a strong, authentic community and focusing on person-to-person relationships. Hyland advises brands to ensure they are fully prepared operationally before venturing into retail and to consider partnering with rep groups that understand the retailers' language and systems.
