Changelog
Every update, improvement, and new feature we ship — in order.
v2.6LatestJuly 2026
- NewWe launched the BoutiqScout blog: practical guides on getting your products onto store shelves, from selling wholesale and pricing your line to writing a line sheet and pitching retail buyers. New posts publish regularly, and you can read them at /blog.
v2.5July 2026
- NewDuplicate protection: we no longer send a second outreach email to a store you have already emailed, even if you re-run a search and it comes back as a fresh lead. Bulk sends skip duplicates automatically and tell you; a single send asks you to confirm first.
- ImprovedYour sent-email history is now kept even if you delete the stores it went to, so your Outreach log always reflects everything you have actually sent.
v2.4July 2026
- ImprovedFind more retailers is clearer: it now tells you how many it added versus skipped as duplicates, and when a search comes back thin it suggests store types you can add with one click to widen your results, no retyping.
v2.3July 2026
- ImprovedSmarter handling of stores that require an application: when a shop takes brands through an apply-to-sell or wholesale application instead of cold email, we now detect it, flag it as "Apply to sell," and link you straight to their form so you can submit your brand the way they prefer.
v2.2July 2026
- ImprovedSmarter matching: we prioritize stores that would actually stock your line and down-rank likely competitors (shops that make their own version of what you sell).
- NewNew "Products you make" setting: tell us what you produce and we steer results away from stores that make the same thing.
- NewA "Likely competitor" flag on results, so you can spot a store that probably will not carry a competing brand before you reach out.
v2.1July 2026
- NewWeekly outreach recap: an optional email summary of your open rates, replies, and new retailers found. Turn it on in Settings.
- NewConsignment signal: when a store mentions consignment on their site, we flag it so you can tailor your pitch.
- NewLocation type: see at a glance whether a retailer is brick-and-mortar or online-only, with a heads-up when an address is a virtual mailbox.
- ImprovedSmarter email finding: we discover contact emails on more sites, including custom contact-and-hours pages, and filter out false positives like analytics keys and social links.
- ImprovedCleaner retailer list: only retailers you can actually reach show up, and contacted ones drop off automatically so your list stays actionable.
- ImprovedStreamlined outreach page: every sent email in one filterable list with a date filter, instead of nested campaign groups.
- NewDelete a retailer straight from its detail page, then jump back to your list.
v2.0July 2026
