TIMELINES


Skyhigh is committed to developing new sales channels for our products and devoted to providing exceptional customer service to our current roster of retailers. We maintain a full-time in-house sales team at our New York offices and also employ retailer-specific sales agents in Bentonville (Walmart), Minneapolis (Target), and Chicago (Walgreens).


Our DIFFERENCE

SALES

High-Quality: Known for innovative products, cutting-edge designs, and fantastic graphics, Skyhigh always uses the finest materials and finishings available.

Creative Merchandising: Our products stand out on their own, but our packaging and point-of-purchase displays are often as unique as the items they promote.

Speed-To-Market: Our in-house design and development team can work quickly to take advantage of short-turn opportunities and our domestic manufacturing capabilities enable us to bring finished products to market much faster than many of our competitors.

Multiple Price-points: Our diverse product range enables us to meet the needs of multiple sales channels at once, whether it be an off-price retailer or specialty store.


The Skyhigh product design and development team works in the heart of New York City at our midtown offices and consists of art directors, graphic designers, and product specialists. The team collaborates directly with our overseas manufacturing partners, scours the market for inspiration, and utilizes emerging technologies to give life to innovative concepts.


PRODUCT DESIGN

MANUFACTURING

The production team at Skyhigh and our on-site agents maintain hands-on relations with our manufacturing partners in China, Vietnam, and here in the United States throughout the entirety of the development, manufacturing, and fulfillment process. We work only with manufacturing facilities that are pre-approved by our retail partners and that adhere to strict labor laws and environmental mandates. Site visits take place regularly throughout the year and every product shipped is thoroughly tested to meet both our own standards and those of the retailers we distribute to.


Paper: Skyhigh uses paper that has been approved by FSC (The Forest Stewardship Council), which is an international, non-governmental organization dedicated to the responsible management of the world's forests.

Factories: Skyhigh only works with approved manufacturing facilities that adhere to strict environmental mandates.

Shipping: Our shipping and transportation partners employ environmentally friendly techniques.

ENVIRONMENTALSkyhigh takes every step possible to ensure that we leave a minimal environmental footprint throughout every phase of our production process - from design through delivery.
