Frequently Asked Questions

These questions might not be on everyone's FAQ list, but we've got your back in case you were curious.

01

What kind of brands is The Canvas best suited for?

+

Purposeful fashion labels ready to grow, gain exposure, and succeed in SoHo without the stress of doing it alone.

02

Can I change my plan if my brand grows or my needs change?

+

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at the end of your 6-month commitment, ensuring flexibility as your brand evolves, with our team guiding you to the best fit for your goals.

03

What happens if I don't sell enough to cover the membership cost?

+

While sales are important, the true value lies in the exposure, feedback, and cost savings—our plans include marketing, insights, and photoshoots to boost visibility, helping you build a customer base over time, even if immediate ROI isn't high.

04

Do I need to be in NYC or can I operate remotely?

+

You can operate from anywhere in the world—our vetted retail team manages all on-site operations, from inventory to customer interactions, ensuring a stress-free experience without you ever needing to be in NYC.

05

What is the minimum commitment, and what happens if I want to leave?

+

Our plans require a 6-month commitment; if you choose not to renew, we'll return any unsold inventory (at your cost) and provide a final sales report to help you plan your next steps—no long-term lock-in required.
