GreenSprout works with ‘brandpooling’. This means we combine the work for different clients during our store visits. ZintenZ delivers directly to stores and is already doing this in many stores our field service visited. Therefore, the assignment for ZintenZ was clear and simple: make sure the card mills always look neat and tidy and are well-filled. We do this through Rack Jobbing. In addition, there are plenty of opportunities to expand the number of points of sale for sustainable greeting cards and other related products. A great challenge, and one that GreenSprout can work with.

The assignment for ZintenZ has barely begun, but major steps have already been made after the first round of visits. With the existing customers, we have begun the implementation of an improved ordering system that allows every representative to work easily and effectively. In time, this will result in better visible card mills with a clear product range. New card mills have also been added to existing points of sale, and a number of new points of sale have even been created. The most important aspect of the collaboration is ensuring that the card mills remain filled. We check the card mills during every store visit and if necessary, we place an order that is delivered by ZintenZ directly.

“I first met Ton Severrien in the elevator of the parking garage below the Ekoplaza in Alkmaar. We met again on the same day at Odin, a natural food store in Bergen. ‘Hey, what a coincidence!’, we said to each other. Of course, it was no coincidence; it was fate, and the GreenSprout seed had been planted. Now, we are huge fans. Greensprout have opened the door to many natural food stores for us. This is great for sales, of course, but that is not all. They are working on sustainable relations, know their field and provide great advice. The most special thing about working with GreenSprout is that they don’t just work with customers, but are really involved in your company!”
