We find what sells before it's obvious. Contract sourcing and trend scouting for brands, private labelers, and wholesalers.

The Pitch — 60 Seconds

Said out loud, on the show floor.

"I'm Sam, founder of Cagos Inc. I work on contract as a product scout for consumer brands, private-label companies, and wholesale distributors — my job is to work the floor at shows like ASD Market Week, MAGIC Las Vegas, and the Canton Fair, find the handful of items that are about to trend, and get them into my clients' hands before their competitors even notice. I vet manufacturers, negotiate MOQs and private-label terms, and hand my clients a shortlist they can act on immediately — not a stack of cards to sort through later. My process is built around speed: same-week trend reports, direct factory contacts, and landed-cost estimates, so a client can greenlight a product before the show floor closes. If you're a retailer, wholesaler, or brand that needs someone on the ground finding what's next — that's exactly what I do."

What I Do

One purchaser, working the floor for several clients at once.

01

Product Discovery

Walking trade shows and supplier halls to spot unique, trend-likely retail items before they saturate the market.

02

Private Label Sourcing

Vetting manufacturers, negotiating MOQs and private-label terms, and lining up product for a client's own brand.

03

Wholesale & Drop Ship Placement

Matching sourced product to the right resale channel — wholesale accounts, drop-ship partners, or direct retail.

How It Runs

Scout to launch, on a trade-show clock.

01 · SCOUT

Walk the floor

Cover the show systematically, flagging items with real trend signal.

02 · VET

Qualify suppliers

Check MOQs, lead times, private-label capability, and factory reliability.

03 · SOURCE

Negotiate terms

Land pricing, private-label terms, and a real cost-to-land number.

04 · LAUNCH

Hand off the shortlist

Client gets a ready-to-act report — not a pile of catalogs.
