Success Highlights:
The Issue: al.ive Body was looking to expand their presence internationally and enter the UK market. They didn’t have much knowledge of the UK retail landscape and wanted to gain an understanding of retail, customers, competitors, trends, compliance, and regulations.
Founded by Alisa and Lysandra Fraser, former winners of The Block Australia and interior design experts, the company was born out of the duo’s challenge to find bathroom and kitchen styling products that complemented their finished projects. al.ive Body innovates and creates new products that align with customer demand, pushing the boundaries of the personal and home care industry.
Launched in March 2020, the brand quickly established distribution in independent homewares and design retailers across Australia. Beginning with hand and body creams and soaps, continuous product innovation has extended al.ive Body into hair care, room scents and premium kitchen cleaning. All products are 100% recyclable.

‘As a Queensland-based company, we were determined to tap into the European market and establish a strong presence. From the very beginning, Bespoke Advantage demonstrated a deep understanding of our export goals and objectives. Their comprehensive knowledge of the European market, coupled with their extensive network of contacts, enabled them to connect us with key decision-makers and influential stakeholders in our target countries. Their strategic guidance and insights were invaluable in shaping our export strategy and positioning us for long-term success.’
‘With the assistance of TIQ, we engaged Bespoke Advantage to help us enter the highly competitive but lucrative UK market. During the last few months Janet and her team have worked diligently to introduce and expose Perfect Potion to buyers and retailers we would never have been able to reach being based in Australia.’
‘Janet has a wealth of experience across retail, buying and marketing. She conducted a full strategic review of our cross functional business and the travel retail market to develop a comprehensive buying and quality control strategy that was signed off at board level. I highly recommend her as an asset to any business.’
