Jellycat Brings Its Sales Team In House

Having grown the Jellycat business over the past 25 years through employing a network of UK sales agents – with many independent gift retailers among the brand’s devoted stockists – the company has taken the decision to implement a strategic shift in its sales operations and has decided, as part of its broader business strategy, to bring its sales team in-house.

The transition to an in-house sales team aims to align Jellycat’s sales organisation with rapidly growing consumer demand, allowing the company to support its customers with fully dedicated teams. The new in-house sales team will continue to be field-based as the company recognises the importance of nurturing in-person connections with valued independent retailers, who are integral to the brand’s success.

Customers travelled from all over the UK to have their photos taken with him.

The brand’s independent accounts are a vital part of the Jellycat family, with the company emphasising that  independents are front-of-mind for this new chapter, with Jellycat supporting partners and customers throughout this transition period.
