We are The Unforgettable Group (TUG), a founder-led company that is located in Northwest Arkansas, the heart of the country and where retail transformation is the norm. Christine Meier, the visionary founder, gathered a team of experienced entrepreneurs, executives and innovative thinkers and asked them to challenge her vision of blending merchandising into the online shopping experience. This idea has transitioned into a new online shopping platform that improves search, offers new navigation possibilities and enhances the online shopping experience, we like to call it eShopping.
After positive confirmation, creating a set of values strongly rooted in transparency, honesty, and trust and outlining the plan for business, there was a consensus that the patent process should be initiated to protect the idea, the methodology should be tested for multiple consumer categories, and that the entire experience must be Unforgettable. Once we achieved our patent-pending designation, we were free to test our beta sites, worked to gain proof of concept, and organically began engaging with our guests. Our inaugural site, Wild Love Tails, representing the pet category, launched in beta the Fall of 2024, allowing us to monitor and continue development in realtime. As we continue to make great progress, we will begin forming the Online Shopping District™ where we strive to represent as many consumer goods categories as possible. Our e-Shopping marketplaces are poised to change online shopping for the better by offering an UNFORGETTABLE experience not a transaction.
This ambitious project is only possible when amazing people, technology, and partners come together to ignite change. Our merchant team is actively seeking brands, our development team is exploring technology partners, and leadership team is focused on pioneering the art of e-shopping.
Christine Meier, inventor, and co-founder of The Unforgettable Group, is the visionary behind a revolutionary eShopping marketplace platform and methodology that is poised to change the way people shop online. The Online Shopping District™ began with a personal goal to create a better online pet store that quickly transitioned into a new way of conducting online shopping.
Christine is an innovative entrepreneur who started her career in merchandising during the explosive growth days of Walmart and went on to be a co-founder in multiple manufacturing and retail startups with successful exits. She focuses on voids she sees in the market and introduces creative ways to fill them. Her last startup gave her insight into the tech side of the business, leading to this big and bold solution. Each company she has founded has led the way and now she is doing it again.
When I am not playing my guitar or watching golf, I have the opportunity to work with a great group of people.
When I am not creating in the kitchen or making a new playlist, I am reimagining how online shopping can be done even better.
When I am not chasing 3 little ones or watching Star Wars, I am helping bring big ideas to life.
When I am not taking photos or planning my next adventure, I am helping to tell the story of our shops through their brand.
When I am not coaching basketball or hiking in the Ozarks I am creating better ways to get things done.
When I am not leading a Young Life group or watching Friday Night Football, I am helping to tell everyone what we are up to.

We are The Unforgettable Group (TUG), and we’ve built a new online platform that sets a new standard for e-shopping with curated shops, guided exploration, and real respect for your privacy.

Like the square knot found in our logo, we created a new online destination that brings together shoppers and brands to one destination, changing the online shopping landscape.

We are a virtual team of merchants, technologists, writers, operators, and leaders reshaping online shopping with curated shops, effortless browsing, and online confidence without tracking or cutter.

We launched our first site, Wild Love Tails in the Fall of 2025, with additional category shops to following throughout 2026. You can also view the TUG Pizza Shop to explore more.

What started as a challenge to create a better online pet shop transformed into a new way to shop online that we now call e-shopping when current e-commerce platforms did not provide an Unforgettable experience.

To truly transform the way online shopping is done, we created a new online shopping platform, curated and organized products into category shops, and then we removed the distractions for e-shopping.

To guide our mission to reinvent online shopping, we created a Wizard of Oz analogy that maps hurdles, highlights benefits, and defines shopper profiles to help us create a 'yellow brick road' so we can fix what’s broken and set a new gold standard. Click to learn more and continue your journey.

Visit the TUG Pizza Shop for an e-shopping experience. Explore curated, organized departments, easy navigation, a visual shopping journey, no popups or tracking, affiliate links to great brands for info or purchase, and then you will understand what most AI and e-commerce sites can’t deliver that we can!

We strive to collaborate with standout companies, brands, innovators, and experts, learning all we can to help share authentic narratives about the people and products we feature, empowering our guests to make well-informed decisions. We are actively seeking new suppliers to feature on first site, Wild Love Tails.

Our square-knot logo represents a secure way to join two ropes, embodying our promise to connect brands and shoppers, creating a truly Unforgettable e-shopping experience.

Visit our inaugural site, Wild Love Tails, striving to be the internet’s most unique pet store, so much so, we call it a pet marketplace. Get ready to experience a new way to shop online where you will find everything and anything you can think of for pets and pet people. You decide where you want to go, how you want to navigate the site, and what you want to do next.

We offer free browsing for all guests and there is no cost for suppliers to be featured on the site. Our primary goal is to expand your business by introducing visitors to new markets, attracting new customers, and retaining existing ones. Think of us as a new kind of online shopping mall.

Our merchant-driven philosophy places an emphasis on cross-merchandising, themed assortments, and innovative merchandising. Placing a focus on providing 'everything' the consumer needs for a given task, use, or theme, while also providing category adjacencies to enhance the offering.

We are committed to offering the most extensive range of goods and services globally. By meticulously organizing products into precise categories, expanding our category range, and pioneering new ones, we aim to simplify the search process for consumers, ensuring they find exactly what they need.

The addition of an eMerchandizing/eMarketing arm to the eCommerce channel allows the market to better assist the consumer with their online purchasing needs, manufacturers to make and ship goods, and our team to focus on helping the consumer find what they need. With no limit to the number of online retailers we work with, it allows us to offer a wider breadth of products with out the worry of inventory dollars.

Products and brands now have the opportunity to fulfill the current needs of all consumers regardless of retail standards of the past. This allows consumers to shop by the value the product that best meets their needs. We don't present prices, we present products where they make a contribution and add value. Products fall into a good, better, or best rating based on the value they contribute.

We prioritize functionality and context in presenting products across all categories, allowing them to complement one another and maximize their impact. We do this by vetting, curating and organizing them. While we place a significant emphasis on brands, companies, and the people behind them, our focus is to amplify the unique voice of each product. We offer limited brand advertising within context.

To enhance the e-shopping experience we require that products be supported by a brand and company that offer customer support. We place a focus on presenting products from the brands that introduced them to the market, with a goal to not make you compete with knockoffs, non-branded goods and product duplication.

Reigniting the once vibrant supplier and retailer relationship that were once connected by the merchant team is a key focus in improving the online shopping experience. We want to get to know you, your company, your brands, and your products so that we can best present them to meet the collective needs of the consumer.

While most eCommerce sites are focused on pay for placement, popup ads and search term payments, we offer landing page ads that are part of the categories you support. Your brand, featured product, or message is available to those seeking more info, searching for answers or looking for a solution. Every brand has the opportunity to help us tell their story, but no brand is given the chance to dominate.

Your knowledge would expand allowing you to enhance your product development, operational planning and business strategies. We will gather and produce usable data that allows our vendors to do what they do better and help us serve the consumer better. We will also provide information about requested products, changes in behaviors, and voids in the market.
