Wellfully (WFL) has ended merger talks with The BrandBase (TBB).
After signing a memorandum of understanding with TBB back in December to merge the two companies, WFL today said the parties were unable to agree on terms.
While Wellfully initially told investors the partnership was likely to increase sales revenue, gross margins and accelerate its growth plans, it now believes an in-house solution is the best approach to manage company growth without “significant upfront cash outflows”.
In a statement on Thursday, WFL said a “better and more reliable outcome” for direct-to-customer market access could be secured by leveraging its in-house knowledge and experience.
Moreover, Wellfully said the momentum it created with its US-based Beauty Box campaign would “significantly increase” brand notoriety as well as additional retail and distribution placement.
