Our positioning: quality, consistency and accessibility
This page sets out Gaiabis' position in the Swiss hemp and accessories market. It clarifies our choices, our strategy and the rationale behind our selection.
1) What we reject
Our positioning begins with clear refusals.
- No opportunistic products added solely to expand a catalogue.
- No marketing “premium” without real value.
- No low-price policy at the expense of quality.
Every reference must be consistent with Gaiabis' identity and remain so over time.
2) What we do
Our strategy is based on two carefully managed areas.
Selection of external brands
We select brands recognised for their level of execution, materials, consistency and credibility in the market.
Development of Gaiabis products
We also develop our own brand in order to offer:
- Either the best possible level in a given segment.
- Or the fairest possible price, with no hidden compromise.
This approach is expressed through two complementary lines:
- Premium line: materials, finishes, experience and high standards.
- Essential line: functional, reliable, controlled pricing, accessible.
We do not talk about “low cost”. We talk about controlled pricing and genuine usefulness.
3) Why this strategy
Gaiabis is often perceived as a premium brand. This perception reflects our commitment to quality.
However, we reject an elitist view of the market.
Premium should not be reserved for an elite. Accessibility should not mean mediocrity.
Our aim is to make consistent quality available without diluting our standards.
4) What this means for you
- Fewer unnecessary references.
- More consistency across the ranges.
- Products we would choose ourselves.
- A brand that takes a position rather than following market noise.
5) Our place in the Swiss market
Gaiabis positions itself between opportunistic low-price shops and ultra-design boutiques with an exclusively elitist positioning.
We prioritise:
- Swiss quality whenever relevant.
- Clear product information.
- A consistent visual and editorial identity.
Formalising this positioning is essential: if a brand does not define its place, the market will define it instead.

Conclusion
Gaiabis is developing a structured, demanding and accessible brand. Our selection and product development follow this guiding principle: offering what we would choose ourselves, at the expected level of quality and at the fairest possible price.
