MASTER THE METRICS BEHIND SMART IMPORTING
After graduating from Texas A&M with a degree in marketing and a certificate in retailing studies, I rose through the ranks—from the sales floor to Director-level leadership. Today, I’m the founder of The RetailOI, a platform that equips product-based businesses with the tools and insights usually reserved for corporate giants. As seen in American Express, I’m on a mission to help retailers scale with clarity, strategy, and profitability.
Danielle Monogue
founder of retail oi
I’ve supported dozens of importers and foreign suppliers to set up right, stay compliant, and scale smart. My approach is calm, clear-eyed, and collaborative: I listen first, map out the big picture, and help you chart the smartest path forward.
Outside of work, you’ll find me chasing the stories behind drinks, learning how people, cultures, and traditions shape the spirits and wines we share. To me, there’s nothing better than an honest conversation over a good glass. It’s how real connections are made.

How it works

smart importers
Get your pricing dialed in. Uncover just $1 more profit per bottle — that’s an extra $10,000 on a 10,000-bottle run.
Potential Savings: Many brands under-price because they guess their real costs. This framework protects 5–10% more profit per case — extra money that often goes unnoticed.
Pricing Accuracy & Margin Control
Pricing Accuracy & Margin Control
Money is lost in warehousing every day — turning stock faster and fine-tuning reorder points protects your profit.
Potential Savings: Tighter SKU tracking and faster inventory turns can lower storage fees by 10–20%, which adds up fast in bonded or temperature-controlled storage.
Storage & Warehousing Costs
Storage & Warehousing Costs
Know exactly when and how much to import — keep your cash working for your business, not locked in a warehouse.
Potential Savings: Poor planning ties up capital. Smart batching and clear reorder triggers can free up $50,000–$200,000+ by stopping over-ordering and dead stock.

One missing document can freeze a container for days. This framework shows you how to keep your cargo moving and your costs low.
Customs Clearance: Well-prepared shipments clear U.S. Customs faster and stay moving — saving $5,000–$30,000+ each year in detention and demurrage charges.
One client saved $18,000 in a single year by consolidating partial pallets and reducing split shipments.
Potential Savings: Precise landed cost tracking can cut 5–15% per container through smarter consolidations, shipping schedules, and incoterms.

your return
If this framework saves you even 1% of your annual importing costs, you’ll 25X your investment and most clients see far more. Plus, you’ll run a tighter ship, spot problems faster, and free up cash flow to reinvest in growth.
Most small-to-mid-size importers overspend by 5–15% due to unclear cost structures, poor SKU tracking, and missed tax credits. For an importer moving $250K–$1M in annual product, that’s $12,500–$150,000 in preventable losses every year.
