It’s official, our new Wild Thang website is live! This wasn’t just any website launch; it's the beginning of a brand-new world class website chapter for our company. With months of hard work and creativity, our amazing team has delivered a platform that’s Better, Faster, Stronger to serve our clients' needs in an elevated, world-class way. Built with our clients completely in mind, this is more than just a new site, it’s an evolution of the Wild Thang experience.

Our launch event took place at the stylish and vibrant One Fine Day Little Leaf in Liverpool, where we welcomed over 100 clients, friends, and key partners to celebrate this exciting milestone. More than twenty members of our team were there, offering the warmest of welcomes and providing expert advice on branded clothing, merchandise, and print. Not only were they ready to help, but they also looked the part, dressed to impress in a custom Lower-Eco Impact uniform designed specifically for the new website launch.

The atmosphere at the event was electric, filled with excitement and a strong sense of team pride as we showcased the new website and invited everyone to explore its features firsthand. We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to attend—you truly made the event unforgettable. We hope you left feeling inspired, not just by the products and services we offer, but by our shared values and ethics, which are at the heart of everything we do. Thank you for being part of such a special occasion! |
With upbeat tunes provided by our DJ Gary Garamendi, delicious food and drinks served throughout the event, and visually inspiring displays and video content, the atmosphere was truly electric. We were also fortunate to have an official photographer and the United By Wolves production team on hand to capture every moment, including the grand reveal of the website with the final countdown. We’re absolutely thrilled with the positive response and incredible feedback we received from everyone who attended—it truly makes all the hard work worthwhile! |

At the heart of the event was the opportunity for our clients to touch, feel, and get inspired by a wide range of innovative, world-class branded clothing and merchandise options—many of which featured Lower-Eco Impact alternatives. To further reinforce our commitment to sustainability, each guest received a Lower-Eco Impact goodie bag, filled with eco-friendly treats. This gesture reflects our ongoing pledge to reduce environmental impact and promote a more sustainable future for all. |
We wanted to make the launch event not only enjoyable but also engaging, so we offered some fun spot prizes linked to simple questions about the new website and our ESG commitments. One question asked attendees how many products are now listed on the website—currently, the answer is 19,567 items across various categories. Another question focused on our sustainability efforts: How many trees do you think Wild Thang has planted since launching our initiative to plant a tree and invest in carbon avoidance projects for every order received? A remarkable 58,422 trees!
