Grommet: Launch Your Product

From start to finish, our experience with Grommet was professional, smooth, and genuinely enjoyable. The platform gave Wave Tape access to an enthusiastic, engaged audience, and the support behind the scenes made a real difference. Greg and Desi were incredibly responsive, helpful, and clearly invested in making the launch as successful as possible, which made the entire process feel seamless and well managed.

Selling with Grommet has been a good experience and reaches a different audience than what we're able to reach through other channels. We have found that sales "stick" at much higher rates because their customer base is looking for something truly unique, innovative, and well-made as opposed to simply shopping on price. The Grommet team also works tirelessly to support their brands.

Be very cautious before signing up. This platform forces a 20% discount and then takes a punishing 30% commission—you’re effectively selling at wholesale prices with none of the wholesale benefits. I know of no other marketplace that skims this high. In my data, 82% of customers bought only once, so there’s no lifetime value—just discount hunters. If your business doesn’t require repeat customers, maybe this works; for me, it’s unsustainable. I pressed their team repeatedly for a more reasonable commission and got nowhere. Bottom line: the economics don’t pencil. I was on the platform for a year and a half and gave it a fair shot—the results did not match the promise.

Nice marketplace to drive some extra orders. We've launched 3 products on here, and each time we see a little bump in orders from it. The process is fairly simple due to the integration with Shopify, however there are some limitations (like you cannot control which variant it pulls over, it just takes the default selections and even Grommet cannot manually change that.) And unfortunately you cannot just duplicate your submission for a second product, you have to reenter all of the company background info, policies, etc. every time, which is kind of a hassle. But it is a free app, they don't take commissions on the launch sales, and take a reasonable commission on future sales that they drive. Overall, definitely recommend it, and I'm sure the submission process will only improve with time!

Cannot say enough about the responsiveness of the Grommet folks! This is so critical for any small business. We've had several very successful launches with Grommet, and they continually send along resources & strategies geared to our continued success!

The app works seamlessly and the Grommet team is quite responsive to any issues (of which we had none). They do exactly what they say and are a good partner.

One notable thing is that they do genuinely try to tailor your launch with both copy and images/video to be the best it possibly can be.

When we launched the Linxura Smart Home Controller on Grommet, the integration with our Shopify store was easy. Greg from Grommet provided great suggestions for promoting the launch each of the first 7 days. Looking forward to bringing upcoming products to the Grommet!

The Grommet featured us in the products of the week and we definitely saw some increase in traffic and conversions. These guys are organized and they have a large audience. We look forward to teaming up more as time goes on!

We've had two launches with the Grommet and it's been really great. The process is easy and everything integrates really well with Shopify no problem. It's entirely seamless, which is the entire point to make your life easier. If you are a business owner with a product and want to add another way to market your products to new customers give The Grommet a try!

Working with The Gromet team over the past few years has been amazing. The Grommet has become a new revenue stream for us, and provided access to many new customers, from an engaged community. I would recommend it to all creators.
