RC & Co

RC & Co (rodneyclark.com) is a U.S.–based premium gift, home-décor and seasonal wholesaler. The catalog clusters around four pillars—Christmas and Halloween trim, lighted décor, tabletop and serve-ware, and year-round home accents—priced mainly in the $25–$200 wholesale bracket. Distribution is two-tier: a password-protected B2B e-commerce portal for registered retailers and a traveling rep force that sells at Atlanta, Dallas, Las Vegas and regional gift markets; no direct consumer sales. The company’s edge is licensed nostalgia: exclusive global agreements with Coca-Cola, Ford, John Deere, M&M’s and other heritage brands let it produce lighted canvas wall art, resin Santas, metal signs and illuminated bottle trees that cannot be sourced elsewhere. Collections are released in tightly edited 40- to 60-SKU drops twice a year, supported by ready-to-ship replenishment within 48 hours and free market-specific planograms. Buyers are independent gift shops, garden centers, hardware stores and boutique Christmas parlors that need licensed “conversation pieces” to differentiate from big-box generic holiday aisles. They value the instant recognition of the icons, the 100 % markup potential and the fact that every item arrives gift-boxed with UPC stickers—no repackaging labor. RC & Co competes in the crowded licensed gift and seasonal décor space against suppliers that rely on generic or weakly branded artwork. It distances itself by securing long-term, category-exclusive licenses for blue-chip American trademarks, backing them with in-house design that converts vintage ads and mascots into lighted 3-D forms, and offering low minimum-order quantities ($250) with domestic inventory—allowing small retailers to carry authentic, high-margin collectibles without import risk or container commitments.
